Secret to FAT LOSS Revealed

Eat

Real

Food

Period.

If you don't do anything else but this, you will lose a ton of fat. Stay away from anything that comes in a box, package or wrapper. If it comes with a nutrition label, look for whole, natural ingredients.

"Enriching" wheat flour to (unsuccessfully) replace all of the natural vitamins and minerals stripped away during processing makes no sense. Any ingredients you can't pronounce probably shouldn't go into your body.

This simple message courtesy of www.crossfit.com: Eat lean meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar. That simple.

Trying to eat 15 different fruits and vegetables EVERY DAY is a good goal that will get you to a healthier lifestyle. Try it and see how many you can get...

Why Diet Soda is the Devil...

Why is it you never see skinny people drinking diet soda.

Ever wonder why? Partly because the "artificial" sweetners "created" by man are designed to be 100s of times sweeter than any natural sugars or sweeteners. I think I read somewhere that this helps to get us hooked. But let's not focus on the stuff that I "think", I have a remarkably flexible grasp of reality so when I read a few articles that show me that diet soda is horrible for you for numerous reasons, I'm able to distill the information and catalog it back in my brain housing group (Diet Soda is Bad). Then I can focus on dispelling more nutrition myths.

But the main reason that Diet Soda is bad is that those powerful artificial sweeteners trick your body into thinking that you are eating/drinking something very, very sweet. This triggers your pancreas to start secreting INSULIN to allow your body's cells to pull in what it believes to be an increase in blood sugar floating around in your blood. Since there isn't any actual excess glucose floating around, this influx of insulin pulls a lot of the remaining blood sugar out so you experience that (afternoon?) dip in energy and probably "crash" shortly after chugging your soda (or heaven forbid, "Monster"). These spikes in perceived blood sugar and eventual flood of insulin create an insensitivity to insulin called "hyperinsulinima" so that your body needs to produce even more insulin to get the same amount of glucose into your cells. Whew, the story is even more complicated than that and many people much smarter than I am can explain it much better than I can.

This is the reason I'm posting information on our site, as I find more great information from the CrossFit homepage, I'll post it so you only get the good stuff and don't have to surf the Internet as long as I do everyday (sweet Govt. job).

Here's a study about sweet taste and fat deposition:

"A new study from Purdue University seems to confirm that using artificial sweeteners makes it harder, not easier to lose weight. (Here's a link to the article, "Low Cal Sweeteners Tied to Weight Gain":

Here's a funny one from a poster that makes me wish I had a pool in the backyard:

"As you are getting rid of the soda in your house, throw two liter bottles of coke and diet coke in a pool. Notice that the regular coke sinks while the diet coke floats. There's something fishy in the diet soda if you ask me."

Here's one that might make you think twice about drinking that next soda:

What happens to your body when you drink a Coke?

And finally another one with some numbers that show how bad just one diet soda a day can be:

Dangit, now diet soda is bad too?!?!?!

Good luck with these and if you have any requests for specific information, I can search for all kinds of quality information from the Main Page and beyond...
