Cut back on this to help you lose weight!! ?

by briangryn | February 6, 2019 | Uncategorized

Have?your weight loss efforts hit a plateau?!?

There could be a few reasons why this is happening but it might be time to keep an eye on your fructose consumption!! Where can you find fructose?
  • Sugar, Sucrose, Honey, High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) are at least 50% Fructose?1
  • Fructose is the main sugar in fruits.? Some fruits have more than others which is important to understand. (see chart below)
  • Natural sugar still contains Fructose.??There is?no difference between white, raw, brown and caster sugar.
So why is Fructose so dangerous??
  • Fructose is a prolonged appetite stimulant that is highly addictive.?2
  • Fructose can?only?be metabolized by the liver and can?t be used for energy by your body?s cells.?2
  • Excess fructose damages the liver and leads to insulin resistance in the liver as well as fatty liver disease.2
  • Fructose?increases?uric acid production, which, in excess, can cause gout, kidney stones and precipitate or aggravate?hypertension.2
  • Fructose rapidly causes leptin resistance.?Leptin?is a hormone that?controls appetite and metabolism?to maintain a normal weight. (makes you more hungry)
What you should do?
  • Avoid products that list - fructose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, fruit juice concentrate or corn syrup solids among first five ingredients?2
  • Buy local seasonal fruit (shelf life of a fruit should only be 1-2 days)
  • Limit to?one serving per day?(10 grams or less of fructose/per day for weight control)?2
  • Go with fruits that are higher in fiber / lower in fructose (Eat raspberries over mango's)
  • Avoid juiced, concentrated and dried fruits
  • If you are eating?out of season?then look at avocado,and/or berries. These are often lower in fructose.
  • Eat fruits?with the skin (well washed) so you get the fiber as well.
