Like anyone that has tried to loose a few pounds, I tried all kinds of things, but none seemed to work. Then, I did some basic research in to how my body metabolizes food. As it turns out, there are three ingredients I consumed nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day, that once eaten, turns straight to glucose and stored as fat. I simply removed or significantly reduced these three things from my diet and the weight began to magically disappear!
Ingredients one and two that I eliminated from my diet go hand in hand. Flour and Wheat. Turns out, when grains are milled into flour, whether white or whole wheat, the surface area is so reduced that it's easy for digestive enzymes to convert the starch into glucose regardless of how refined the grain is. This may be somewhat counter intuitive as we are lead to believe things like whole wheat breads are better for you. In the beginning I found it somewhat difficult to remove all flour and wheat from my diet, but became easier once I was conscience of it.
The third thing to absolutely remove from your diet as much as possible is a no brainer...refined sugar. Refined sugar has been processed so much that it has been completely stripped of all of it's naturally occurring vitamins and minerals leaving pure carbohydrates which your body again turns straight to glucose and once again stored as fat. This is the heart breaker, literally! So good yet so bad for you. By eliminating wheat, flour and sugar from my diet, I lost 25 pounds in about 6 weeks. The excess weight came off so naturally and so fast that at one point I was convinced there had to be something wrong with me! I didn't make any lifestyle changes whatsoever. I simply just cut out wheat, flour and sugar and I was back to fitting in my jeans again. Now I stay conscience of my intake of those three things and have been able to maintain my target weight.
