Count Your Nutrition - Not Just Your Calories! The Basics of Low Glycemic Eating to End Yoyo Dieting

Counting calories is ideal for lovers of all numbers through your head all day. Counting calories can tell how much energy is in a food, but it says nothing about the quality of the food you eat. I recently went to see the snack packs 100 calories. Only 100 calories, but full of sugar, processed foods and preservatives. There is nothing healthy about them!

The problem with weight loss programs based on calories, do not take into account the quality of the food you eat. And once the weight is gone, back to old habits and food choices, and everything comes back with more fat to boot!

Stop counting calories - Just Eat better! If you're ready to stop yo-yo diets, and create some simple changes replacing unhealthy foods with simple alternatives, read on! When you focus on health and nutrition, the advantage is weight loss because your body gets the nutrients it needs, dropped the pounds. It need not be difficult, you do not have to go hungry or feeling deprived or weak, only needs a few simple changes.

Beware of Big White Five! White sugar, white flour, white rice, potatoes and popcorn. It is the number one of the instigators of extra weight. First let's find out why they are bad for your body, and then we'll see what we can do instead.

White sugar is refined and processed sugar cane. The main problem with sugar is that it is at all! I picked up some organic pumpkin, and I ate sweet for me. I looked at the label, and, of course, had added sugar in my soup! The fact that it's organic does not mean it's healthy!

Why is sugar bad? Well, a little is good, the problem is that manufacturers continue to add more because we are all accustomed to super-sweet taste. The other problem is that when we eat foods high in sugar, is converted into glucose (sugar in our body runs on) very quickly, causing an increase in blood sugar. Our peak blood sugar noted below, the pancreas to produce insulin (carrying the sugar molecule in body tissues). Once this happens, there is more sugar in the tissues can use, then what body? It is stored for later - as fat!

This not only the high sugar consumption leads to store more fat, but also can lead to all kinds of health problems, including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and even cancer has been associated in high levels of sugar. In fact, recent advances in technology have created machines where you can see the use of glucose in the body. Areas of the body that use glucose excess are identified as cancer cells. Do not expect to get cancer, stop eating so much sugar!

Not all sugars are equal, there are many good substitutes (I'm not talking about chemicals like aspartame and sucralose). Never found that diet drinks help you lose weight. There are some beautiful all natural sweeteners that are much better for your body. Here are my top natural choice:

Agave syrup (low glycemic natural sweetener from agave)
Stevia - is a super-sweetener from a South American plant. Because it is very sweet, a pinch. Some people notice an after taste, to try and see if you like.
Licorice root - from a plant, a wonderful sweetener with health benefits. May have a slight licorice flavor to it.
Raw honey - raw honey is actually using the glycemic scale. Pasteurized honey (due to the heating process is of high glycemic index).
White flour is next to the clock. It is made of wheat, wheat grain milled, polished sound, wheat germ, and hull. What remains is the pure starch. When we eat white flour products, bread, pasta, cookies, refined flour is converted into glucose (sugar) in the body quickly, indicating that the pancreas to release insulin peak, then causing the body to store fat . A measure of how quickly the body converts food into glucose is called glycemic index, and it appears on food labels.

White rice, like wheat was processed and polished, remove the fiber and sound, and what remains is only the starch. Again, this makes the same path doping blood sugar, insulin levels nail and causing the body to store fat. Skip the white rice, brown rice is better, but still higher on the glycemic index, being wild is a better option, here are some lesser known grains larger kitchen a little as you want to cook rice! Some seeds of 2 parts water.

Quinoa - a tiny South American grain, high in protein and low on the glycemic scale, about 15 minutes. cooking.
Buckwheat - this is not actually a grain related to wheat so it has no gluten protein. It takes about 20-30 minutes of cooking, add some seasoning, as it is soft.
A simple rule: the more refined and processed foods, the higher the glycemic index. Therefore, opt for whole foods, whole wheat bread, wheat pasta and other whole grains. To get used to the taste, start buying partial wheat or white wheat and mix at the same time or expertise to make your own. My sister is a great do-it-selfer said grinding grain white wheat instead of red winter wheat grain makes all the difference in the flavor and taste of home ground flour.

The potato is starch. In the upper GI, these small starch capsules can spike their blood sugar and trigger sequence insulin and fat storage. This is one reason why many people find it advantageous to the Atkins diet, cut the white flour and starches. Where's the bad? People were not getting the fiber you need to keep your colon clean and works well.

Instead of white potatoes, try sweet potatoes and yams both have more fiber and does not affect your body in the same way. Other good substitutes that can give you that creamy pumpkin are (I especially like pumpkin puree), and there is a great recipe for mashed cauliflower.

Popcorn. Who knew that something so low in calories was so high on the glycemic index? Yes, unfortunately, popcorn has a high glycemic index. Well, there is no substitute for a large popcorn, this is somehow a separate category. Still like popcorn, but only occasionally, and I am aware of that has the same effect on my body like a cake or cookies. So if you eat popcorn as low-calorie snack, you may rethink your place in your life, and just have a rare treat, like candy. Just be aware that the consumption of corn souffle blood sugar with a glycemic index of 72!

When you focus on healthy choices, nutrition, your body can release excess weight and slim down to your ideal weight. You do not have to feel deprived, hungry or weak, and in fact all of my clients have felt mental clarity, stable mood and energy that lasts all day following the dietary glycemic index. Basically, it's about eating foods that the human body has been used as fuel for thousands of years: whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, nuts and seeds!

It's time to eat better, and when it does, your taste buds even begin to prefer healthy options! It is only in recent years that our plans were so messed 50-100, and see so many health effects of poor food choices now.

To start: you may be motivated to make some changes to your current diet, and it's a good idea to focus on adding in foods that love.Take a sheet of paper and write a list of what you normally eat, ask these things in this article, write a replacement. I also like that my clients focus on healthy foods they like, just like your favorite fruits and vegetables.Add in some of its healthful indulgences while you make changes. I love mangoes, avocados, peaches, artichokes, broccoli and asparagus, to name a few. It is also a good idea to keep an open mind and try a new fruit or vegetable each week mind. Variety is the spice of life! And play with your spices too!

We can be motivated, but sometimes old habits on the road. Changing habits can be the most difficult to eat healthy. Many times it is as if a part of us wants to change, and some of us do not. This internal struggle is responsible for self-sabotage, the desire for bad foods, comfort eating, eating when you are stressed, or a lot of other problems that can put us on the right track.
