Here's a familiar cycle: lose the weight, regain it, try again. Anyone who has attempted a diet knows the pattern. The question is why it happens so consistently, even to people with real discipline and resources.

The answer largely comes down to insulin. For the unversed, insulin is the hormone that clears sugar from the bloodstream and delivers it into the body's cells, keeping blood sugar levels in check. Eating carbohydrates and sugar prompts the body to release more of it. The occasional indulgence isn't the issue. But repetitive consumption can be a problem; a diet consistently high in carbohydrates and sugar keeps insulin production elevated, and over time, that steady demand throws the fragile system out of whack.
