Tip 4: Sugary foods have the mineral chromium removed…bad news…heres why…

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Sugary foods strip other foods of their chromium, also refined processed foods have the chromium removed. This is bad news; since Chromium’s main function is to regulate blood sugar levels…unstable blood sugar levels and you are more prone to putting on fat. (see ‘articles’ section and search ’sugar’ for more info)

Sugar in the diet is as usefull as…..

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

It’s quite late on a Sunday night and I find myself doing some last minute packing before departing tomorrow morning for the south of France. I personally am just packing the essentials however my older brother seems to think there will be a need for the 5 jumpers he is putting into his case, at a predicted 36 Degrees I’m thinking his knitwear may prove pretty useless. This then got me thinking, what else do people incorporate in their lives that really are not needed…hmmmm….???…watches that say they go to 500m below sea level, stringed vests and lastly sugar. Yes the latter is terrible; sugar has so many detrimental affects to the body, infact:

Sugar is needed in the diet about as much as trump scented perfume, since it causes blood glucose to spike and plummet

Sugary foods/ High Glycaemic Index/ Fast releasing carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to become unstable thus leading to mood swings, headaches, fatigue, cravings and therefore fat gain. Since any sugar that enters your ‘pie hole’ (mouth) causes a rise in blood sugar levels and also endorphins (feel good hormones) so you feel fantastic for a few minutes until your blood sugar levels drop dramatically. This is not a nice feeling and so you go for some more sugary foods to pick you up again, and so the craving cycle and journey to Chubsville begins.

Sugar is needed in the diet about as much as Solar panelled flashlight since sugar interferes with the body’s immune system

Now research on this topic is still somewhat vague however scientists do know that bacteria and yeast feed on sugar and that, “when these organisms get out of balance in the body, infections and illness are more likely.”

Sugar is needed in the diet about as much as Condoms when trying for a baby since sugar increases the risk of obesity, Type II diabetes, heart disease and forms of cancer

Research has revealed that the more Sugary foods/ High Glycaemic Index/ Fast releasing carbohydrates you consume the higher your risk of becoming obese. And obesity is directly related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and different forms of cancer.

Sugar is needed in the diet about as much as Stairs in a bungalow since a high-sugar diet often results in chromium deficiency.

If your diet consists of a lot of Sugary foods/ High Glycaemic Index/ Fast releasing carbohydrates chances are you don’t get enough of the mineral Chromium inside that body of yours. This is bad news; since Chromium’s main function is regulate blood sugar levels (permit me to refer you back to my first point entitled ‘Sugar is needed in the diet about as much as trump scented perfume’ to remind you what unstable blood sugar levels lead to.) Foods containing chromium include a variety of plant, animal and seafoods but sugary foods strip these foods of their chromium supplies. Furthermore processed refined foods often have the chromium extracted, why food companies do this? I haven’t the foggiest, but the idiots do, haha.

Once again I thank thee for reading through the ramblings of a nutty Englishman, haha, until next time…I bid you adieu x

Tip 3: Weight Training/ Strength Training for fat loss

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Few people know that weight training is great for people who want to lose fat, since it increases your basal metabolic rate for up to 48 hours after you have finished training. I.e. It increases the rate at which your body burns calories when just resting for up to 48 hours after training has stopped. Normal aerobic cardio such as running, cycling, swimming at a steady pace only burns calories for the duration of the exercise and doesn’t elevate your basal metabolic rate
