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 pangs 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
