SUGAR
Sugar contains no vitamins, no minerals. It is
100 percent carbohydrates. So it must be metabolished immediately.
The stores of nutrients built up in your body are called our like
militiamen, to "charge" the sugar, and similar forms like glucose
and fructose, and turn it into ready energy, depleting your body
in the process. Sugar is an energy sucker; the anti-nutrient.
White flour is its second cousin is almost as bad, the two together
flour and sugar spells disaster for any one trying to lose weight.
If they are consumed on a regular basis, the body is in a constant
state of nutritional deficiency. If you do not believe that sugar
is an anti nutrient try having a rich dessert after dinner on
a night you are feeling under the weather, you will be sure to
wake up the next morning with a full-blown illness.
Diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates
like bread, pasta, cereal and other mainly "low-fat" processed
foods increase your body's production of insulin. When insulin
is at high levels in the body, the food you eat can get readily
converted into body fat, in the form of triglycerides, (to top
it off, high triglyceride levels in the body are on of the greatest
risk factors for heart disease.) Even worse, high carbohydrate
meals tend to leave you less satisfied than those that contain
adequate fat levels; so you eat more and get hungrier sooner.
So the typical low-protein, low fat meal leaves you eating more
and hungry sooner. So what should you do? Get off the insulin
generating roller coaster of the low fat diet and start cutting
down on your carbohydrate conception, especially the worst offenders
: sugar, white flour and other refined carbohydrate based products
what can you except from this? Three wonderful results: you'll
start to burn fat for energy: since carbohydrates are the body's
primary energy source, your own body fats, for energy unless you
restrict carbohydrate consumption.
This offers a lifetime of body fat burning, which is the goal
of most people trying to lose weight. You won't feel hungry in
between meals: the biggest battle that most people have with weight
loss is the constant obsession with food. Again, much of this
is caused by blood.
Sugar fluctuation that are aggravated by carbohydrate consumption
(especially the refined kind). By cutting the carbs, you will
maintain a more even blood sugar level throughout the day. No
more false hunger pains or mid afternoon brain drains. Your overall
health will improve and you will feel better. Many of the toxins
you take into your body are stored in your fat cells. By getting
your body to burn stored fat, you allow it to clean itself out.
Combined with the benefits of stable blood sugar, the end result
is that many common ailments you have been experiencing could
well be alleviated. Fatigue, irritability, depression headaches,
and even many forms of joint and muscular pain simply go away.
Above all diabetes will never approach you.
