8. Avoid Carbohydrates recommended daily for health is 150 grams/day and we are now averaging 250-300 grams/ day which is the equivalent of 150 pounds of sugar per year because of processed foods and calorie dense foods and starchy vegetables with a high Glycemic Index.
9. Remember it is NOT sugar that feeds CANCER in overweight people but the Insulin associated with it and Insulin Like Growth Factor -1 (ILGF-1) that is associated with high insulin from TOO many carbohydrates
10. We need a happy MARRIAGE with our food not a combative dysfunctional relationship

Why Fat??

It is no longer what I can do to food but what it can do to me!!!

Choices, portions, timing, content, environment, self-pride and genetics all play a role. Self-pride in how we look and how we are viewed is ignored.

Choices refer to the types of food we consume. Ethnic upbringing and family traditions help create these choices.  Celebrations are centered upon food and ingrained from childhood. Social activities relentlessly move toward eating and sitting usually late at night as we age.

Aging decreases the natural caloric burn in our bodies. We become enthralled with alcohol as a social interaction and necessity. Appetizers and bread before meals enhances carbohydrate intake and changes the mechanisms we are born with to handle high carbohydrate food items.

We have all been led astray by unscientific observations and zombie statistics perpetrated upon us by medicine and money focused food lobbies.

Advertising is a reinforcement of our family experiences. Because we pay to eat out we feel obligated to finish our meals that are gargantuan in proportion to our needs.

We become ostriches in effect. We keep our head in the sand, avoid the daily scale assessments of our control, buy new clothes and allow our right frontal lobe to no loner accurately assess our appearance.

You can get rid of these if you undertake a real life style change. It is never to late to be healthy and to live better longer.

Recent question about Vinegar Diets

I had a call from a nurse asking about the Vinegar Diet that is the rave among her friends. It wants you to consume 1-2 tsps in 8 ounces of water 1-2 times per day. The only study published in a peer reviewed journal is from Japan where 175 people were divided between the vinegar additive and not but the food intake was consistent between the two. After 8 weeks the vinegar people had lost 1.5 pounds and the non vinegar people gained 1.5 pounds. Not a resounding success. This another example of fad-diets that purport to be quick fixes but are NOT life style changes.

I recommend as a salad dressing vinegar with a squeeze of lemon and a touch of Parmesan cheese crumbles to create a tangy dressing with almost no calories.

There was some talk that vinegar stabilizes your blood sugar levels. Researchers stated that there was benefit to the level of emptying your flooded basement with a teaspoon. Right action but success limited.

Be cautious about marketing ANY item or program that purports to have a fix that does not require an individual life style change.

Come listen to our education @ Saturday at 10 am for 30 minutes. Also remember that I will be walking one mile with any body who shows up on the 2nd Saturday at 8 am and the 4th Wednesday at 6 pm Then answering medical questions in an open forum for 40 minutes after.

Why walk? “There’s no question that increasing exercise, even moderately, reduces the risks or many diseases, including coronary heart disease, breast and colon cancer and Type 2 diabetes,” said Dr. David
Bouda. “Research has even shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour that you exercise regularly.”

According to the American Heart Association, walking as little as 30 minutes a day can provide these health benefits, as well as:
·       Improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels
·       Help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity
·       Enhance mental well-being
·       Reduce the risk of osteoporosis

WALKING


WALKING BEGINS MARCH 14 AT ROCKBROOK 0800 WITH DR BOUDA

Walking has the lowest drop out rate of any physical activity and it is protective of knees and ankles. We want everyone to walk 9,000 steps every day. Walking is safe for people of all ages and weight. You can gain 2 hours of life for every hour you walk. Walking 5 minutes of every hour at work equals 40 minutes per day and is 2-3 miles. Your belly fat and hips will improve dramatically and you can get an energy boost for 12 hours after.  A mile is approximately 2000 steps. Walk with a Doc is our commitment to a healthy life. We meet twice a month and walk around Rockbrook Village. Besides meeting new friends to walk with you will have one hour of time with Dr. Bouda to walk with him and ask questions. These steps will help you achieve a healthier life style and also provide time for medical questions to be answered by a local doctor. Call for an appointment to walk at 402-812-8400 and check our website www.yourwieghtlossforlife.com and when there check out our Blog.

Sugar, that little white powder

Sugar that little white powder!!!!

Sugar was found in New Guinea 10,000 BC

1700 we ate about 4 pounds of sugar per year each
1870 we ate about 47 pounds of sugar per year each
1920 we ate about 100 pounds of sugar per year each
2012 we ate about 150 pounds of sugar per year each
This is 30 5 pound bags of sugar each per year

This happened over 300 years and this is faster than  our genetics can keep up

This sugar is not only in packets, it is in ALL processed foods to make them appealing to us.
Remember there are glucose, fructose, sugars, complex carbohydrates, fiber and all = SUGAR

8 ounces of low fat yogurt has 6.2 tsps of sugar
12 ounce can of coke has 10 tsps (packets) of sugar for 42 grams of sugar. ( 1 tsp = 4.2 grams)

Sugar which is two saccharides linked glucose+fructose
     Glucose good
     Fructose bad

Fructose phosphorylated in liver and directed to fatty acid deposits
73% sweeter than glucose
Promotes overeating
Increases browning of foods
