These are some of the foods you will
want to reduce prior to going on a diet: Alcohol Sugar Artificial
Sweeteners – Check labels. If a packet says “No Added Sugar” it may have
been replaced with artificial sweeteners. Soft Drinks Cow's Milk
Margarine - Ghee or butter is much better Caffeine – Coffee, tea, etc.
Wheat based products - such as bread, pastry and cereals. Carbohydrates –
Generally speaking we eat far too many carbs. And what happens when
carbohydrate enter the body? It acts just like sugar!
Does that sound like a tall order? Remember at this stage all you are doing is trying to cut down on consumption of these foods. A little later we will get to some replacement foods you can use instead of the ones above, foods that are much healthier for you and will promote wellness rather than destroying the body.
What To Do When You Are Hungry Eat vegetables, nuts or fruit! The first thing people do when they start to feel a little bit peckish is reach for that chocolate bar, bag of chips or any other snacks that might be lying around. We could improve our health so much if during these times we filled our stomach first with fruits and vegetables that the body craves. For example, our bodies just don‟t know how to handle too much sugar. The right kind of sugar in the right amount provides energy to our body. Dietary sugar from carbohydrates such as fruits, legumes, vegetables and grains is converted to glucose, released into your blood and fuels the nerve cells in the brain. However, too much sugar can be dangerous. It can affect a number of biological functions and cause a myriad of medical problems.
If you consume too much dietary sugar, or foods with a high glycemic index, such as refined breads, it can increase your blood sugar and even cause your skeletal muscle cells to become resistant to insulin. And this insulin resistance is associated with type 2 diabetes. When your blood sugar level remains high for too long a time, especially if you‟re diabetic, it can narrow your arteries and eventually cause you to lapse into a coma.
