Blood Sugar and Burning Fat – Part 1

Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Axis Labs asked:


This is a subject not many worry about nor take the time to care about. This is very unfortunate as blood sugar plays a vital role in your weight gain or weight loss. Studies have reported that even in healthy people high blood sugar after meals can over time damage the body. Blood sugar effects everyone. It should concern you even if you are thin and healthy, and especially if you don’t get enough exercise or carry extra weight around your middle.

When you eat a big meal, especially one with a lot of starchy or sugary foods, the food makes its way through your stomach and intestines and then is converted into glucose, the main fuel for your muscles and even your brain. Boom! You now created instant energy. However, a big starchy meal can give the body more glucose than it needs. In fact, it can raise blood sugar levels twice as much as another, healthier meal would.

If you eat a big pile of french fries or something of that nature, your body has to deal with a serious flood of blood sugar. What happens now is your body reacts by pumping out too much insulin. May be even more insulin if you are overweight. The extra insulin will bring the blood sugar down way too far. It sticks around and does this for hours. Your body then can fall into a semi-starved state. This can cause your blood sugar to be even lower than it was before you ate the meal. Your body knows that your blood sugar is low so it reverses everything and spits out hormones that raise blood levels of sugars and fats. The really bad part about all of this is now your brain is sending signals that you are hungry. Whether you ate more calories than you even needed at lunch doesn’t matter. Your body is so low on sugar if thinks you need food. Now everything in front of you looks appetizing.

The best way to avoid all of this is just to start eating the right type of foods. Foods like white rice, white bread, potatoes, and sugary drinks seem to be the biggest cause of these type of reactions. You can keep your blood sugar at healthy levels by eating more wheat and oat carbohydrates. Those of you with a “spare tire” around your middle are most likely having problems controlling your blood sugar. This spare tire will fall off very fast if you learn to manage your blood sugar correctly.

There is a great deal of studies proving a direct link to many forms of cancer that our society experience and get diagnosed with everyday. That subject is going to be discussed in a “blood sugar and burning fat part 2”.

Shane Crafton asked:


When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about Appetite Control on DietBlogTalk.com

For an additional source, check out Appetite Control on the very popular Sensational.com

Overview

Although we can’t completely control the appetite there are ways we can circumvent the impulses that often cause us to overeat.  The nutrition and physical sciences can offer valuable help in this area.  Physical activity can actually quell the appetite, which is the opposite of what most people assume.  There are actually herbs that nutrition research has discovered that can promote appetite suppression to some degree. The key with those is combining herbs together in formulas that work on the brain and body through several ways; for example, an appetite suppressant is even more effective when combined with herbs that improve emotional health because emotions are often the culprits of overeating.

Ingredients at a Glance

Some of the more reliable appetite suppressants are authentic Hoodia Gordonii and Bitter Orange or Citrus Aurantium (the most reputable form is contained in the patented ingredient Advantra-Z®)

Ingredients in Focus

Hoodia Gordonii is known to curb the appetite and suppress hunger. In its natural state, it has been used to ward off hunger and thirst during long periods of drought in parts of southern Africa.   The plant has been studied to determine how it effects the brain’s signals for hunger and thirst and it was determined that the molecule P-57  found in the plant sends a message to the brain signaling that the body is fed and comfortable, even when it has not been. Hoodia has no known side effects.

Advantra- Z® is made from the extract of citrus aurantium, also known as the Chinese herb bitter orange. Bitter Orange extract has been used in traditional medicines from different cultures to address a variety of ailments, from gastrointestinal disorders to insomnia and is thought to also have an impact on headaches and obesity. The active ingredient in the patented Advantra-Z® is synephrine, which has been proven to boost the metabolism as effectively as ephedra when used properly.  Unlike the banned ephedra, synephrine does not increase heart rate and has no negative side effects on the cardiovascular or central nervous systems. However, you should avoid supplements that combine Advantra-Z® with any type of caffeinated ingredient due to the significant concerns about the effects the combination can have on the nervous system.

Positives

•    Appetite control is possible and there are modern weight loss supplements that have been studied and proven to help a body adjust to lower caloric intake during dieting efforts.

Negatives

•    Lack of appetite control can lead to excess weight and obesity.

•    Unless the appetite is controlled, weight loss is nearly impossible.

Final Thoughts

You don’t have to battle your appetite alone when dieting; there’s help out there.  Seek a proven weight loss product with effective ingredients to control appetite and burn fat.  Add a good diet and exercise and you will win the weight battle.

In fact, nicotine is good for you in it also lifts mood, improves concentration and sharpens your attention

Getting it in organic form in sufficient quantity will also suppress hunger pangs.
