Have you ever wondered why you are fat and have considered
going on a weight loss dieting program? If you did, then you
must know why certain food makes you fat.
Most if not all of us are somewhat carbohydrate addicts. We
have pastas, pizzas, white rice, spaghettis, bread, refined
flour food and confectionaries in almost if not all our meals.
Just look at the queues at the fast food joints on a regular
day and you will know what I mean. Bread and sweet sugary
drinks are the menu of the day, naturally.
Some of us are reluctant to embark on a weight loss dieting
program to lose that excess baggage (body fat) because we think
it is an exercise in sheer willpower and futility.
"You are asking me not to eat bread/rice/pizzas/hamburgers,
chocolates and ice-creams my entire life? You must be nuts!"
Sounds familiar? For those who incessantly snack on biscuits
and chocolates between meals to stave off hunger while working
at the office, here is why.
You unwittingly and naturally reach for such snacks because of
the food you chose to eat earlier at an earlier meal. If you
start the day with three or four slices of white bread spread
with fruit jam or margarine and then wash it down with coffee
and sugar, you can be sure you will be craving for snacks by
mid-morning even though your breakfast was a filling one.
When your food made up primarily of carbohydrate, especially
refined carbohydrate like white bread and pizzas, with little
protein or fat, not to mention high in sugar, your blood
glucose surges crazily following that meal.
To counter the effect of extreme glucose surge in your blood
stream, your pancreas will pump more insulin than usual to
bring your blood glucose level down. What happens then is that
your blood glucose surges will then dip lower than your
pre-meal level. When this happens, you start to get hungry and
crave for more sweet stuff and more carbohydrate. This is why
you reach for sweet snacks and drinks instinctively. Thus the
vicious cycle continues again and again and you are eating more
and more calories. So choosing the food in your meal is
important so that you will not get hungry fast and then consume
more calories to satisfy that hunger upsetting your natural
weight loss dieting program.
When more carbohydrate is consumed than can be stored by your
liver and muscles as glycogen, they are naturally converted to
fat. So what should you do?
Well, you can start to limit your carbohydrate consumption
(note that I said limit and not stop) and on top of that,
choose slow digesting carbohydrates especially carbohydrate
with fibers like fibrous vegetables, fruits, legumes, brown
rice and brown bread, your insulin spike will not be so
eccentric and therefore you will not get hungry or having your
sweet tooth so often.
Now think about it, if you do not reach for your snacks and
sugary drinks that often, it means that you are consuming fewer
calories. So if your caloric consumption is less than your
caloric expenditure, you are right on a natural weight loss
dieting program without even realizing it. Better still, you
are not going on a hunger and starvation diet because you will
not get hungry that easily.
Just imagine now that you are losing weight naturally, what if
you incorporate an exercise routine into your natural weight
loss dieting program to burn off some more calories? Your
natural weight loss result will be amazing wouldn’t it?
Now that you know why you are fat, let’s get started on this
natural weight loss dieting program.
