Interesting Sugar Fact



Recommended Posts

Remember your body treat refined carbs as a sugar in a sense. Now read below

After doing some research i found something that may help motivate the low carb crowd.

It would seem 100 years ago(not that long in human time) the average person consumed 1 pound of sugar per year. Today the average person consumes 170 lbs of sugar per year. No wonder we are fat. The majority of this sugar is found already packaged into the food we eat. So called diet included.

Something to think about for sure.

I recommend you all do some reading on how insuline works in our body. You'll quickly see how the major food companies out there are misleading us.

We,, i dont think anyone's trying to tell us that lots of refined carbs is a good thing.

Its a whole different argument than whether we should completely avoid wholegrains and low GI carbs or not though.

Jachut

Wholegrains and low GI foods>> have to read the labels. We have breads here in Canada that claim to be healthy and wholegrain. When you read the labels they are 150 calories a slice and made with refined white flour then have whole grains added. They also add surgar in the form of honey or molassess because most people will not eat a true whole grain bread.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
