Could Sugar Be Subotaging Your Weight Loss?

Good morning all, it's a beautiful day today, i am hoping each one of us enjoy the day with some physical activity, there's no need for a gym on such a day, get out and enjoy the sun (don't forget SPF).

Some of us may think the question posed above does not apply to us, because maybe we do not eat much sweet foods. However, this discussion apply to every single one of us, when i talk about sugar i am not speaking of candy, cakes and ice cream, which is obviously loaded with sugar, i am speaking of the less obvious items, like canned vegetables, milk, cheese etc. Almost every thing we eat these days contain sugar, it is wise to beware of these items and their sugar contents.

There are two types of sugars, Intrinsic Sugars which is mostly natural and can be found in fruits and vegetables, and then we have Extrinsic Sugars which comes in a less natural form, these sugars are added to foods to preserve the life of the product, and can be found in almost all packaged and canned foods to include milk, and all dairy products.

The issue with sugar is that in our society we consume way to much, our bodies metabolises these sugars and store them in fat cells for later use as energy, however because we consume so much suguar on a daily basis these stored fat cells never get used, therefore our bodies keep adding and we eventually are faced with unwanted weight gain.

Now, i don't really have to tell you what you need to do, i think it's quite obvious by now. Sugar is sweet, yes i know, but is it really worth it, think about it. Pay attention to the grams of sugar when buying packaged foods, especially items that are marked as health foods. Stay on top of what you eat, eat natural sugars (fruits and veggie).
Stay healthy, and don't forget to share your experiences with us.
