Have you ever wondered why you are fat and have considered going
on a weight loss dieting program? If you did, then you must know
why certain food makes you fat.
Most if not all of us are somewhat carbohydrate addicts. We have
pastas, pizzas, white rice, spaghettis, bread, refined flour
food and confectionaries in almost if not all our meals. Just
look at the queues at the fast food joints on a regular day and
you will know what I mean. Bread and sweet sugary drinks are the
menu of the day, naturally.
Some of us are reluctant to embark on a weight loss dieting
program to lose that excess baggage (body fat) because we think
it is an exercise in sheer willpower and futility.
"You are asking me not to eat bread/rice/pizzas/hamburgers,
chocolates and ice-creams my entire life? You must be nuts!"
Sounds familiar? For those who incessantly snack on biscuits and
chocolates between meals to stave off hunger while working at
the office, here is why.
You unwittingly and naturally reach for such snacks because of
the food you chose to eat earlier at an earlier meal. If you
start the day with three or four slices of white bread spread
with fruit jam or margarine and then wash it down with coffee
and sugar, you can be sure you will be craving for snacks by
mid-morning even though your breakfast was a filling one.
When your food made up primarily of carbohydrate, especially
refined carbohydrate like white bread and pizzas, with little
protein or fat, not to mention high in sugar, your blood glucose
surges crazily following that meal.
To counter the effect of extreme glucose surge in your blood
stream, your pancreas will pump more insulin than usual to bring
your blood glucose level down. What happens then is that your
blood glucose surges will then dip lower than your pre-meal
level. When this happens, you start to get hungry and crave for
more sweet stuff and more carbohydrate. This is why you reach
for sweet snacks and drinks instinctively. Thus the vicious
cycle continues again and again and you are eating more and more
calories. So choosing the food in your meal is important so that
you will not get hungry fast and then consume more calories to
satisfy that hunger upsetting your natural weight loss dieting
program.
When more carbohydrate is consumed than can be stored by your
liver and muscles as glycogen, they are naturally converted to
fat. So what should you do?
Well, you can start to limit your carbohydrate consumption (note
that I said limit and not stop) and on top of that, choose slow
digesting carbohydrates especially carbohydrate with fibers like
fibrous vegetables, fruits, legumes, brown rice and brown bread,
your insulin spike will not be so eccentric and therefore you
will not get hungry or having your sweet tooth so often.
Now think about it, if you do not reach for your snacks and
sugary drinks that often, it means that you are consuming fewer
calories. So if your caloric consumption is less than your
caloric expenditure, you are right on a natural weight loss
dieting program without even realizing it. Better still, you are
not going on a hunger and starvation diet because you will not
get hungry that easily.
Just imagine now that you are losing weight naturally, what if
you incorporate an exercise routine into your natural weight
loss dieting program to burn off some more calories? Your
natural weight loss result will be amazing wouldn't it?
Now that you know why you are fat, let's get started on this
natural weight loss dieting program.
