Does Your Body Really Need Sugar?

Sugar is found in almost every processed food these days, to the point where it takes a conscious
consumer just to avoid it.

Sugar is even in foods like:

  *Ketchup
  *Salad dressings
  *Store-bought breads
  *Sauces
  *Almost all beverages

Remember this: your body doesn't need or want sugar at all; and sugar in excess, is extremely
dangerous.

"But I thought your brain runs on sugar?" you say. And you're right, but it's glucose your brain uses...  

Glucose is the sugar your body makes from the foods you eat, or even from burning its own stored
fat. Glucose is vital to your health, but these days, no one is lacking in glucose... just the opposite!   

Unlike natural sugar found in food, vegetables and dairy products, refined sugar does not contain any
vitamins, minerals, enzymes or fiber - it's just a quick hit of carbohydrates than elevates your blood sugar levels, triggers an insulin spike, puts your body in fat storage mode and causes a stress response which further activates your FAT Programs.  

Here Are Common Sweeteners to Avoid:
  *Refined sugars
  *Honey
  *High-fructose corn syrup

Here are Some Sugars that I think Are Better Choices:
  *Stevia
  *Coconut Palm sugar (however, consider the environmental impact here)
  *Xylitol

I hope this is helpful...

In health,

p.s. Xylitol is my personal favorite sweetener. It's unique in that it has less calories than sugar and doesn't cause the blood sugar spike that most sweeteners do.

Xylitol can be found in most health food stores or purchased online. You can buy it from Amazon here: List of Xylitol Products

FREE Guided Weight Loss Meditation

Jon Gabriel teaches that losing weight easily and naturally can be achieved without dieting, but by working with your body's natural genetic programming, rather than against it. The trick is to get your body to want to be thin, by switching your body from "get fat" mode to "get thin" mode so that you become a naturally thin person—eating whatever you want and enjoying yourself while getting thin and staying thin. This track will introduce you to Jon's concept and explain how meditation and weight loss are strongly linked.

Please make sure you sit in a quiet place and where you cannot be disturbed. Listen preferably with headphones. Please listen with your eyes closed and an open mind.

Do not listen to this while driving or whilst carrying out a task that requires your full attention.
