The majority of people who come to me for nutritional advice say one of two things.
First, just because you know doesn’t mean you automatically do it. Our thoughts dictate our actions, and often times people I work with are extremely overwhelmed and discouraged due to the number of disappointing dining experiences they have had in meeting their health goals. You begin to believe the lie that you will never be able to do something.
Second, there is a big difference between a healthy diet and a balanced diet. You can choose absolutely healthy foods, but if you don’t know how to choose them correctly in the right combinations, in the right amounts, and at the right frequency, even healthy foods can cause your blood sugar to spike, It can be stored in the body. thick.
If you’ve been following me for some time, you’ve probably seen something about the importance of stabilizing blood sugar levels. In fact, it’s very important because it’s the way our bodies were created to function.
Newborns are checked to make sure their blood sugar levels are stable before they are discharged from the hospital. Babies naturally maintain their stability. Anyone who has children knows that babies and small children are hungry as soon as they wake up.
Babies get breast milk or formula, which is the perfect balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to keep blood sugar stable.
If your child starts eating solids, don’t leave the house with your little one and don’t bring snacks with them. It’s a drop in blood sugar. They get “hungry” and start nagging you for treats.
That same process happens in our adult bodies, but in a busy world, every diet that says deep inside, “Don’t eat that” or “Don’t eat it if you want to lose weight”. There is. We smoke it and ignore the signal to eat.
Our bodies haven’t changed much since we were babies in the way we absorb and metabolize food, they just got bigger. And the bigger we get, the crazier our eating habits seem to get.
Lose fat, cut carbs, count calories, don’t eat at night, don’t eat in the morning, eat 3 meals a day and don’t snack, eat 5 meals a day, yes, snack—a constant barrage of Frankly, the information overload of bad information makes most of our population look like they’re either on a diet roller coaster or confused and doing nothing.
how is that working for you? Dare I say it, it’s not. Nearly 30% of Canadian adults are obese, and more than 31% of her children aged 12 to 17 are obese. (The 2012-2013 figures are the most recent data I found on childhood obesity.)
The diet is clearly not working. It works by stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Stabilizing blood sugar levels works for every body. That’s how we got into this world, and the sooner we get back on track, the sooner we’ll see things start to change. Diets won’t tell you that because once you find something that works for you, your spouse, your kids, wherever you are and in any situation, you’ll never go back to dieting.
Instead of depriving yourself, restricting food, counting calories, and eliminating entire food groups, you can balance hormones, stabilize blood sugar, boost your metabolism, and keep your body where it is. Would you like to learn to eat the foods you love in a way that puts you at ease?Release stored fat naturally, protect lean muscle, increase energy and eliminate cravings?
Produces a healthy inflammatory response – incidentally, inflammation is the root cause of all disease – lowering the risk of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease and stroke, creating health in your body as your body naturally releases the weight.
Really easy. You can achieve all of this by eating the right mix of foods, the right amount, and the right frequency throughout the day.
One thing to remember is that it’s not a diet, which means results usually don’t come overnight. But they happen in healthy ways.
No matter where you are on your journey to health, it didn’t happen overnight and it can take time to reverse these effects. It depends on how long you live with the
What I do know is that it’s not your age, it’s the length of time you’ve or haven’t been doing things that benefit your health and body.
