What is the Glycemic Index? Part 2 of 2

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Reducing the GI in your diet reduces your insulin levels and increases the fat burning apparatus in your body. Try to reduce the high GI’s in your diet by substituting them with low GI’s.

Regular consumption of low GI foods increases the feelings of fullness and satisfaction and so prevents weight gain. Try taking in six small meals a day of healthy low fat low GI foods to prevent overeating at meal times and control appetite.

Remember, that it is also important to look at the calories in food to. Rice and bread might be low in fat but when your body is burning the carbohydrates in these foods it doesn’t burn as much fat. So if you are on a low fat diet, you wont lose as much weight if your calories are still high.

Have a look at the table below for the different GI food ratings.

Low GI (<50) Grapefruit (26) Baked Beans (15) Lentils (29) Peanuts (13)
Soy Beans (15)

Medium GI (50 – 70) Pineapple (66) Raisins (64) Sweet Corn (59) Potato Chips (51) All Bran (51)

High GI (70>) Cornflakes (80) W/M Bread (72) Baked Potato (98) Brown Rice (80) Carrots (92)

Compare these two menus and try to adjust your diet accordingly.

High GI Menu

Breakfast: 40 Grams of cornflakes with milk. Two slices of whole meal toast with margarine and jam. Snack: Two sweet biscuits with a white coffee.

Lunch: Ham and salad whole meal Roll with an apple.

Snack: Four crackers with cottage cheese and chives

Main Meal: Serving of Roast chicken with a large baked potato and peas. Small piece of cake.

Low GI Menu

Breakfast: 40 Grams of bran with low fat milk. Two slices of low GI toast (Try Burgen) with margarine and jam.

Snack: Two oatmeal biscuits with a coffee (Low fat milk).

Lunch: Ham and salad Roll (Low GI bread). Soft-serve vanilla yogourt with toasted muesli sprinkled on top.

Snack: Two bananas.

Main Meal: Serving of Roast chicken with a small baked potato and peas. Two scoops of low fat ice cream with half a cup of canned peaches.

Chicken, beef, fish, eggs, nuts, and avocados contain very little or no carbohydrates. These foods if eaten by themselves will not have much effect on your glucose levels and are very low GI. Alcoholic beverages especially wine are also low GI so can be included in your diet but remember to count them in your daily caloric intake.

Low GI foods are ideal for losing weight due to the slow absorption from the stomach. Low GI foods also help to keep blood sugar levels more stable and this has an effect on reducing sweet cravings.

How To Detoxify Your Body For Successful Fat Loss!

Friday, August 21st, 2009

There may be a very surprising reason why it is so hard for you to lose weight – toxins that are stored in the body.

When you lose weight, fat cells in your body are metabolized. This simply means that they are broken down. When this happens, any toxins that are stored in your fat cells are released into the body. Since this is the case, whenever you lose a lot of weight, you will release a large amount of toxins into your blood stream.

There are many ways that toxins are introduced into the body. They are found in air pollution, pesticides, impurities in our water, etc.

There are many ways that toxins affect your body.

1. They can cause damage to the mitochondria that are found in your body. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in your cells. They act as a powerhouse on a cellular level. They also convert fat into energy when they are located in the liver and muscle tissue.

2. Toxins can also reduce thyroid hormone levels. These hormones contribute to your basic metabolic rate. They are especially involved with carbohydrate and fat metabolism.

3. Another side effect of these toxins is that they block the effects of the hormone called leptin. This is the hormone that sends signals to your body that you are full. Without this hormone working properly, you might think that you are hungry even when you are not hungry. This will cause you to overeat and gain weight.

Just by burning off your excess fat, you can contribute to this problem. When the fat cells are metabolized by your body, the toxins are released into your blood stream and this will cause your metabolism to slow down. This will make it even harder for you to lose weight. You will try to limit your calorie intake, which will only slow your metabolism down even more. Thus, you begin a vicious cycle of trying to fight your own metabolism in order to lose weight.

There are many things that you can do to help you detoxify your body. There are certain herbs and vitamins that you can take in order to clear the toxins from your system. A daily session in the sauna of only 15 minutes can dramatically reduce both your body weight and also the amount of environmental toxins that are in your body.

Here Is How Toxins Make You Overweight

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Obesity is a growing health concern. Many adults do not get the exercise that they need. They eat foods that are high in fat and low in nutrition.

It is interesting to note that some of the biggest increases of weight in the population closely correspond with some of the largest increases in the use of synthetic chemicals. Since many of the chemicals that have been used actually cause weight gain, this seems to be more than just a coincidence.

It is sad that one new chemical enters industrial use about every 20 minutes. This means that it will join the many hundreds of thousands of chemicals that are already popularly used. The United States has just recently started to do long-term research in order to establish some sort of baseline for toxins that can be found in certain areas of our population.

When you consider that some of these toxins have been linked to areas forms of cancer, low energy levels, disorders of the immune system, heart disease, and more; it is very disturbing to find that more and more toxins are being added to the mix.

When your liver is overloaded with toxins, it is not able to burn body fat efficiently. When your liver is tired and toxic, that is the number one stumble in block for weight loss. Not only does this slow down your metabolism, but these toxins can impair a person’s ability to even exercise. It can also promote permanent nerve damage, muscle fiber distraction, and it can also reduce a person’s desire to exercise.

If you are too tired to exercise and your body is also not functioning at the optimal levels, it can make it very difficult for you to lose weight. When you lose fat, the fat cells are broken down and even more toxins are released into your blood stream. This can affect your liver and your metabolism even more, and they can make it even harder for you to lose weight.

By having an overload of toxins in your system, you will make it more difficult to exercise. You will also make it more difficult for your body to process the toxins that are released. This can cause you to be tired and not wanting to exercise. The best way to avoid this vicious cycle is to detoxify your body through natural means.
