If we are talking so much about analysing the food and drink what you put into your mouth, we must realise by now how important the “little things” really are.
If you can chip away at every meal by simply making small changes, to achieve a MASSIVE result, then this has got to be a change worth making surely?!! Its not really about the massive overhaul that most people imagine either.
If we talk about having a plainer breakfast such as weetabix which means no additives, then that does not mean a “version” of weetabix such as the ones which honey coat or sugar coat the wheat. This I can assure you will turn this normally good cereal into a cereal that contains heavily refined sugar, or the porridge oats with apple pie filling-IT DOES NOT WORK OUT WELL FOR YOU FULL STOP!!
This may taste nicer but its only going to do you harm in terms of weight gain and elevated blood sugar levels. Also, it will keep your “sweet tooth” well and truly alive, making you rely on refined sugars the rest of the day.
Its like taking sweetener with everything, what you are doing is keeping your taste for sweet tooth strong making you prejudiced on the kinds of foods you are “willing” to eat!
If you are only willing to eat heavily sugared foods, then you have little or no hope in achieving your true aims and goals. This kind of eating and behaviour will undoubtedly lead to potential diabetes issues in the near future unless you modify your eating without delay.
When you look at the carbohydrate section on the nutritional analysis on practically every food you eat, if the “of which sugars” is almost or all of the total carbohydrate, then its never going to be any good for you, unless its things like fruit juice which I advised to dilute anyway.
The “of which sugars” part should be comparatively low meaning theres a slow blood sugar release, and doesn’t play havoc with your blood sugar levels. You want stability all day long in this area, meaning you have longer term energy and little or no risk of developing diabetes over time.
Make it your goal to truly analyse what you eat, you may think you are eating healthy but in fact, you could be consuming a lot of unhealthy sugar which will disguise all your good work in the exercise department!
