What
if you were counting on certain foods to aid your fat loss and they
were actually making you fat? Would you stop eating them?
According
to numerous studies, the latest one recently published in the Journal
of Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism,
people who eat foods containing aspartame had higher blood sugar
values than those who eat regular white sugar!
Higher
blood sugar= increased insulin release from the pancreas= more fat
depositing in the belly!!
These
artificial sweeteners are added to all types of foods, including
those labeled as “health foods.” They are like kryptonite for
healthy bacteria in the gut. They, literally, wipe out all the good
kinds, allowing the overgrowth of bad bacteria...the kind that make
us fat and keep us that way. These artificial sweeteners also cause
us to crave more fat-producing foods, i.e. simple carbohydrates.
My
advice, forget ALL artificial sweeteners and, if you must have
something sweet, eat the real thing...sugar, but make it coconut
sugar. Of course, coconut sugar is a wonderful sweetener with
a glycemic index of only 35. It has been shown to have no significant
impact on blood sugar values and can be used, in moderation, by
diabetics.
Be
sure to read the labels of any pre-packaged foods you buy...they are
usually loaded with salt, bad sugars and artificial sweeteners to
make up for the reduced fat content. The good fats are our friends.
Artificial sweeteners are our enemies.
