The Truth about weight loss
Failed Attempts
Dieters have spent billions of dollars on diets and diet products. Yet we keep getting heavier. The reality is that those products are not getting to the underlying issue.
In this article, we’re going to expose the truth about why dieting has failed and share how you can lose weight and keep it off, by increasing your metabolic efficiency and addressing a condition that got you here in the first place. It all starts with a hormone, called Insulin.
Insulin serves as a signaling hormone, facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy production or storage. When insulin is chronically elevated – most often due to a poor diet – it leads to a condition called insulin resistance. This increasingly common condition causes a cascade of metabolic disturbances, the most common being weight gain.
Meet Dr. Ben Bikman
Leading insulin resistance researcher, metabolic scientist, professor and best-selling author, Dr. Ben Bikman, has conducted extensive research over the last decade to finally crack the code to lasting weight loss, improved metabolism, enhanced brain and gut health and more.
As a researcher and popular speaker on insulin resistance, human metabolism and nutrition, Dr. Bikman has seen the terrible impact a poor diet has on the health and weight of people worldwide.
“My research has shown that you can safely lose weight, keep it off and improve your health with just a simple, yet powerful shift in your diet.”
What is Insulin?
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas in response to elevated blood glucose levels, typically after a meal. Its primary function is to regulate blood sugar by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells, where it can be utilized for energy or stored for future use as body fat.
What is insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is defined as a reduced response to the hormone insulin. Every cell in every tissue of the body responds to insulin. Insulin, which is flowing in the blood, will bind to a specific site on a cell and then elicit a series of events within that cell. When a cell loses its responsiveness to insulin, which can happen as a consequence of various conditions, it becomes insulin resistant. In such a state, the cells need more than normal amounts of insulin in order to get the same response as before. Thus, the key feature of insulin resistance is that: 1) blood levels of insulin are higher than they used to be and, in many instances; 2) the insulin doesn’t work as well.
How does someone become insulin resistant ?
Several factors contribute to the development of insulin resistance. Sedentary lifestyle, excess body weight, poor dietary habits, and genetic predisposition are among the primary culprits. Chronic inflammation, often stemming from conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome, also plays a role in promoting insulin resistance.
Our modern diet and terrible advice from so-called experts have negatively impacted our weight, our health, and has driven this epidemic of insulin resistance. We’ve been told to eat low-fat diets, yet we’re fatter than ever. We’ve been told to eat more refined carbohydrates, yet we’re increasingly unhealthy. We now eat more calories, yet get less nourishment. Yes – most people are overfed and undernourished. And we’re so busy that much of our food comes from the coffee shop, vending machine or from fast food restaurants.
Do you experience any of these indicators of insulin resistant ?
- Excess belly fat
- Difficulty losing weight
- Fatigue or low energy
- Stress or anxiety
- Family History Of Type 2 Diabetes
- Retain water easily
- Sleeplessness
- Slow metabolism
- Hunger or cravings between meals
- High blood pressure
- Patches of darker colored skin or skin tags

How does being insulin resistant cause you to gain weight ?
Insulin resistance sets off a domino effect that can promote weight gain through multiple mechanisms. Firstly, when cells resist the effects of insulin, glucose uptake is impaired, leading to higher levels of sugar circulating in the bloodstream. Excess glucose not utilized for energy production is eventually stored as fat, contributing to weight gain.
Furthermore, insulin resistance disrupts the balance between fat storage and breakdown. Elevated insulin levels promote the storage of fat in adipose tissue, particularly in the abdominal region, where it poses greater health risks. This increased fat accumulation further exacerbates insulin resistance, creating a vicious cycle that perpetuates weight gain.
Moreover, insulin resistance can disrupt appetite regulation and promote cravings for sugary and high-calorie foods. This can lead to overeating and further exacerbate weight gain, perpetuating the cycle of insulin resistance.
How can you reverse insulin resistance?
So how can we improve insulin sensitivity? The key is to change the nutritional balance of your daily diet. But contrary to what you’ve been told, it does not involve counting calories or points, eating foods you don’t enjoy, depriving yourself, or taking expensive and painful injections of risky drugs.
By building our diet on three pillars, we give the body a break from the incessant insulin and allow insulin resistance to improve. We can do this by:
- Prioritizing protein: Make sure to regularly consume high-quality protein foods. Eggs, meat and dairy are superior sources, while fermented plant proteins are also an excellent source.
- Filling with fat: Protein and fat are supposed to come together—eat them that way. Moreover, don’t be afraid of other fat sources, like coconut oil, butter, olive oil, and more. These natural fats from animal and fruit sources are “ancestral”—we’ve been eating them for millennia.
- Controlling carbohydrates: Avoid refined starches and sugars and focus on fiber-rich vegetables and fruits.
The changes you need to make are simple and doable. People around the world have already made significant improvements to their weight management and overall health with this health breakthrough.
Bringing solutions from the lab to the real world
Even with all the information that Dr. Bikman shares in his speeches and interviews, he is constantly asked by people around the world what they should do for their health.
“Ideally, we all would have the knowledge, time, discipline and budget to plan, purchase and prepare perfect meals.” said Bikman. “But it simply doesn’t happen; people get busy, they get stressed and they make unhealthy choices that derail their health goals.”
HLTH Code Complete Meal.
Dr. Bikman says these carefully formulated meal shakes can promote healthy weight management, gut health, brain health, even hair, skin and nail health. HLTH Code Complete Meal features an optimized, science-backed blend of protein, collagen, healthy fats, apple cider vinegar, probiotics, fiber, vitamins and minerals—with no added sugar or any artificial ingredients.
“HLTH Code Complete Meal is based on research, not fads,” said Bikman. “An incredible amount of work went into making this nutritionally balanced and optimized, yet we knew that if it didn’t taste good, no one would use them consistently.”
“A HLTH Code Complete Meal shake is the perfect meal because it’s packed with optimized amounts of necessary ingredients to leave you feeling full and energized for hours,” said Bikman.
“Yet it’s more convenient and affordable than virtually any meal you could make or buy.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can HLTH Code help me lose weight?
Weight loss is rarely easy, involving the right changes in both hormones and caloric balance to signal to the body that it’s time to start burning, not storing, fat. Based on the best available studies on human metabolism, Complete Meal is built to help you lose weight without the need for counting every calorie. Many of our customers find that it’s an effective way to jumpstart weight loss, even when they’ve plateaued on a keto or low-carb diet.
This feels a bit pricey.
Let’s do the math: A meal from a drive-thru these days is generally ~$10. Sitting down to eat at a restaurant is easily $25. Not only does it replace a meal for a fraction of the price (as low as $3.33/meal), HLTH Code also replaces your protein shake, vitamins, minerals, collagen supplement, probiotics, fiber, apple cider vinegar and so much more!
Can I use HLTH Code more than once a day?
Yes! Especially if your goal is weight loss. And for our keto friends, as long as your daily meals and snacks total under 25 net carbs, you’ll be fine using HLTH Code up to two times a day. We always recommend enjoying at least one prepared whole food meal, that is high in protein, healthy fats and low in refined carbohydrates.
I'm trying to watch my blood sugar. What can I expect from HLTH Code?
HLTH Code is insulin-neutral, which means HLTH Code won’t spike your blood sugar – in fact, it will help you keep more consistent levels throughout the day.
What's the best meal of the day to enjoy HLTH Code?
Take your pick! A HLTH Code shake is a great way to break a fast and can satisfy your sweet cravings right out of the gate. Or it can make lunchtime at work or on the go super simple. It’s really up to you and what works best for your lifestyle.
How does the shake taste so good?
We’ve committed to using only the highest-quality ingredients, never anything artificial (your tastebuds know!). HLTH Code is naturally sweetened with low-glycemic monk fruit and a proprietary form of stevia to deliver a delicious flavor without the bitter aftertaste you might be used to from other diet or keto products.
Does HLTH Code Complete Meal use any artificial ingredients?
