Healthy Weight Loss Program:
Maintaining Stable Blood Sugar
Stable blood sugar is THE core concept of any healthy weight loss program. Why am I putting such emphasis on keeping your blood sugar stable? Let’s think it through together.
Your brain controls every single cell in your body every minute of every day. Your brain can only burn glucose. Glucose is the technical word for blood sugar. Your brain has no way of storing glucose. Therefore, your brain, which controls everything, is totally dependent upon the level of gluccose in your blood at any given instant. And what controls the level of glucose in your blood is what you put in your mouth.
What I’m saying is that your nutritional habits - what you put or don’t put into your mouth - are the most important behaviors that you do every day. What you put into your mouth controls the quality of your conscious awareness. And your conscious awareness dictates the quality of your life.
What does this mean?
Anytime you’re hungry, you’re in a state called hypoglycemia - "hypo" means not enough and "glycemia" means blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is the technical word for low blood sugar. We’ve been mistakenly taught that the answer to hunger and cravings is to eat carbohydrates. Example. A common breakfast is a glass of orange juice and a sweat roll. This will cause your blood sugar to spike. As a result, your pancreas will secrete massive amounts of insulin. Insulin is the most powerful fat storing hormone in your body. The insulin will take all the excess blood sugar from the orange juice and the sweet roll and turn it into fat – technically known as triglycerides. Then insulin will take this fat and store it in your fat cells. Not a good scenario for a healthy weight loss program.
As a result, your blood sugar will plummet. You’re now in a state called rebound hypoglycemia. This means you’re in an even lower blood sugar state than before you had the orange juice and the sweet roll. Now you’re in big trouble. To counter act this sad state of affairs, your body releases cortisol. Cortisol is the most powerful stress hormone in your body. Cortisol will bring your blood sugar back up but at a terrible price. Cortisol is catabolic meaning it will tear down your muscles and your bones. Cortiosl facilitates fat storage, meaning cortisol will make you fat. Now you have a double whammy going. You’ve got insulin storing fat and now you have cortisol making your body fatter as well. Cortisol will depress your immune system and will accelerate the aging of your brain. Chronically elevated levels of cortisol is considered to be the number one cause of Alzheimer’s. The whole negative scenario came about because you over carbed - you ate too many carbohydrates for your body disrupting stable blood sugar levels.
It gets worse. Once your insulin level is elevated, it stays elevated for 7 to 8 hours. Meaning, your body will be storing fat for the next 7 to 8 hours. Insulin is a oneway street. Elevated insulin means you can only store fat. You can’t burn any fat. Consistently eating too many carbs for your body means you’re storing fat 24 hours a day. It also means that your blood sugar is low and you’re constantly craving carbs. This is your brain’s futile effort to fix the car wreck the orange juice and sweet roll caused.
Why does this happen? Always remember that biologically, your body is millions of years old. Your body was never designed to eat processed carbohydrates or even large amounts of carbs. To eat carbs when you’re hungry is like throwing gasoline on a fire.
There’s an appropriate saying: one bite of sugar is too many and a thousand bites are not enough. It’s ultimately impossible to satisfy your hunger with carbs. The more you eat, the more you want. Sugar is one of the most addictive substances known to man. It leads to obsession, depression, lethargy, and obesity.
Your goal is to develop the skills necessary for your success in a healthy weight loss program. Maintaining a stable blood sugar is your most important tool in losing weight and keeping it off for good.
