THE TRUTH ABOUT SUGAR THE SOLUTIONS 1. Try converting as much simple sugar into the more slow-digesting form – Complex Carbohydrate. 2. That is of course, unless you have just worked out. Remember, this 45 minute period after aworkout is critical to replace everycalorieyouhaveburnedwithsimple sugars. By following this simple rule, you keep your metabolism humming, building muscle and burning fat. There is no insulin instability if imbibed now, but don’t waste a good thing and drink soda. Make those calories nutrient dense. Drink a Recovery Shake that is nutrient dense and loaded with the seeds and pulp of vine-ripened fruit. Your body will love you for it! THE SWEET FACTS Fact: Organic Juice contains more sugar than a Coca Cola and soda generally contain up to 10 teaspoons per serving! Sugar comes in many forms: From brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, raw turbinado, fruit juice and of course, high fructose corn syrup; it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. It all is absorbed quickly into your blood stream causing your pancreas to secrete large amounts of insulin. Upon reaching your liver, excess insulin, which is toxic, is converted to neutral triglycerides. Triglycerides are precisely the form of fat that is stored in all your adipose (surface) fat, ugh!
