Controlling insulin secretion can lead to weight loss; however, this approach is not recommended. Using medications or other methods to manipulate insulin secretion can severely impact one’s health and, in serious cases, even endanger life. For healthy and effective weight loss, it is essential to focus on dietary adjustments—specifically, controlling caloric intake and reducing or eliminating foods high in sugar and fat.
