Natural Weight Loss - Sugar Vs Fat
Today at Natural Weight Loss I would like to talk about Sugar and Fat and their impact on losing weight.
A lot of diets today tend to restrict fat intake. On the surface this appears to be understandable. Proportionally, fat provides more calories than proteins and sugar based foods. Simple answer, cut the fat from your diet. Not so fast! You are only getting half the story. A lot of studies confirm that moderate fat diets are actually effective in losing weight. Fats help you feel full for longer periods of time and help maintain consistent energy levels, reducing the need to binge. The same is true of fiber. The extra bulk helps slow the release of sugars into the blood stream.
For thousands of years our intake of sugar was dictated by nature and the seasons. We led a physical lifestyle with considerably less sugar in our diet than we consume today. Sugar is present in many processed foods and snacks, and is a prime factor behind the high levels of obesity in society today. We are all familiar with the energy high we experience after consuming these types of product. Equally, the crash we experience when the energy is depleted. When we need a boost with go for the quick fix and so the cycle goes on. The whole process is completely unnatural and goes against our evolutionary development. Natural weight loss is about restoring the balance.
It is clear that in todays society it is not fat but sugar that is our main enemy in the fight against obesity. As we pile on the pounds our dependency on sugar becomes more acute. The heavier we get the more energy we require to keep us going, the more instant gratification we seek in artificial foodstuffs.
Can you see how the almost instant conversion of sugar into energy does its damage over time? Take a long hard look at your diet to see if sugar is the major contributor to your weight problems. If you do nothing else then make sure you restore the balance by looking at how nature intended us to live. Of course the right balance will differ from person to person depending on individual needs. That is why there is no "one answer fits all" solution to the problem. You have to determine your type and your personal goals in order to restore a balanced diet that is right for you. Do some research and determine the best diet regime for you at this time. Note the emphasis on time. As you begin your campaign to restore the balance, you will find that you have a greater ability to refine the process. The old habits and emotional imbalance that previously held you back will no longer influence your decisions so easily. Instead of being a slave to your diet you will become the master.
