Your body is constantly trying to maintain the blood sugar levels and it those carbohydrates that you have been told to avoid that turn into glucose which is the fuel that your body must have. It is glucose that is the main fuel for you. Do you know that glucose is the only fuel that your brain uses and I bet your not aware that the brain uses more fuel than any other part of the body.

The carbohydrates that you eat are turned into glucose and this glucose which is a form of sugar goes directly into your body's blood stream and from their it feeds all the cells of the body. Your brain requires energy in huge amounts and glucose is the only form of energy that the human brain can use. When your brain doesn't get enough glucose you will start to experience all kinds of symptoms. These symptoms include feeling weak, drowsy, sluggish, becoming confused, having headaches, becoming irritable, trembling, rapid heart beat and in some cases anxiety and even panic attacks.

But you should know that carbohydrates alone won't make you have a healthy body. Your body has to have a balanced amount of proteins, carbohydrates, water and fats plus exercise in order to maintain a healthy body. And the biggest problem we deal with in trying to lose weight is that we over indulge in high glycemic foods. Foods that contain too much sugar or foods that contain refined carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates produce insulin and when your body produces excess glucose it gets stored as fat. You can counter that by eating proteins along with the carbohydrates. This produces glucagons and it is glucagons which promote the use of your bodies fat for energy. If you can keep your insulin and glucagons in balance you will maintain normal blood sugar levels. But if your body has too much insulin this promotes excess stored fat and can cause other types of health ailments.

You really need to eat foods that are the lowest on the glycemic scale. If you want to eat potatoes you should eat yams or sweet potatoes because they are the lowest on the glycemic index. If you do eat yams and sweet potatoes you should use a natural substance like honey to sweeten your yams or sweet potatoes. Other foods you will want to avoid are white rice, pasta, and corn. Some foods you can indulge in almost as much as you like include broccoli, lettuce, brussel sprouts, beans and dairy and soy.

Fat is really not as bad as people make it out to be. Your body needs fat in order to remain healthy. Fat helps your cell membranes to develop and it helps to insulate the body. In case you don't know it is the fat in your meals that gives you that satisfied feeling after you eat.

Your body needs fat in order to remain healthy. Fat helps your cell membranes to develop and it helps to insulate the body. In case you don't know it is the fat in your meals that gives you that satisfied feeling after you eat. But you don't need very much fat intake. You will want to stick with the good fats like olive oil and you want to stay away from trans fats or saturated oils.

Another thing a lot of Americans especially miss is that they need to keep a close eye on portion sizes. One real good rule to remember is that if you eat four ounces of protein don't eat over four ounces of carbohydrates. If you can train yourself to always do this one to one ratio you'll be much healthier. And over the long term you'll lose body fat. If you could eat six small meals a day and stick to the one to one ratio with the carbs and the proteins you will lose weight. But understand that these would need to be smaller meals than what you normally eat. I will caution you here though that if your sick you should consult your doctor before you start any weight loss program.

And while it is very healthy to start walking if you are under a doctor's care discuss it with the doctor first. If you're a diabetic you really need to check your blood sugars on a regular basis and you can do this with a blood glucose meter. If your already a diabetic you probably already have one. If you do I would suggest writing down your blood sugar readings each time you take your blood sugar and take the written down readings to your doctor with you. This will give the doctor and you a real ideal of what your blood sugar levels are doing over a long term basis.

As a type two diabetic I have had a real problem both with losing weight and with keeping it off. I started studying and doing research so that I could keep the weight off long term and remain healthy. Good luck with your weight loss endeavors. t satisfied feeling after you eat.
