Carbohydrates, or “carbs,” are the fuels your body runs on. Whether you eat whole-wheat bread or sweets, your body turns the carbohydrates in those foods into blood sugar or glucose. Does that mean both foods are equally good sources of energy? Hardly. The bread is the better value, supplying fuel to your body over a longer period of time. The sweets short-change your body, providing energy only for a short time. Read the rest of this entry »

How caffeine affects your weight loss can vary. Some people can continue to drink a couple of cups of coffee or a caffeinated beverage every day and have great success on a low-dieting weight-loss program. Others may find that it slows down progress.
Caffeine all by itself, even without cream and sugar, can stimulate the production of insulin because it can indirectly raise blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of glycogen stores. And, as stated previously, this can increase fat storage and thwart fat burning. Read the rest of this entry »

These tables, printed on the labels of many foods, offer consumers a quick and easy way of detecting fats in food, and are probably your most powerful tool in the quest for fat-free eating! Unfortunately, only some local manufacturers and two major supermarket chains (Woolworths and Pick ‘n Pay) include these tables on their products.
These tables usually show the nutritional breakdown of the food per 100 g of product, showing the proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, sugar, fats, and so on. For the purposes of the X Diet, you can ignore all the food groups except the fats. Read the rest of this entry »

Imagine that your stomach is empty. You have not eaten during the night, and you are ready for breakfast. Your blood already has a certain concentration of sugar (glucose) flowing through it. This has an approximate value of 5. To simplify matters drastically, this means there are five ‘bits’ of sugar in each sample of blood, and that this concentration is constant throughout the body.

The discovery of leptin has prompted a gold rush of further hormone discovery around appetite. For instance, how does your body know when to stop eating because you are full up? An obvious mechanism is via nerves that run from the gut to the brain which are fired by physical distension of the gut — that too-stuffed-tomove feeling. The problem with this theory, although there are nerves that undoubtedly do this, is that a meal of boiled cabbage can still leave you feeling hungry, even though you feel completely bloated. Nor does putting 600 calories in through a line intravenously make you feel full the way that a 600-cal0rie Big Mac does. Read the rest of this entry »

Consider your average working person: let us call her Samantha. She is in a rush to get to an early meeting, so she doesn’t have breakfast. She drives through the smog of the early rush-hour traffic, fretting about being late. When she’s finished the meeting, she rushes out to lunch. She orders a toasted sandwich with smoked salmon, and finishes off with filter coffee that has been brewing on the stove for many hours. She eats her meal sitting in the sun. Then it’s back to the office for more coffee as she frantically races against a deadline. Read the rest of this entry »

The lymphatic system plays an integral part in detoxification. It transports lymph, a clear, colorless fluid that bathes and purifies all of the cells of your body. The lymphatic system runs parallel to the circulatory system and is composed of a network of porous lymphatic vessels that are similar to arteries, as well as hundreds of lymph nodes that are scattered throughout the body. Lymph passes into and out of the bloodstream through permeable membranes, bringing nutrients to the cells and carrying away waste products. Read the rest of this entry »

Whole grains and beans are rich sources of fiber, providing bulk that helps to naturally cleanse the intestinal tract. Fiber is an essential component of a cleansing and detoxification program. Pesticides, toxic metals, estrogen and other hormones, and a variety of other toxins are all swept out of the body by fiber. Through speeding up the movement of wastes through the intestines, fiber helps to detoxify the body. The longer that wastes remain in the body, the more opportunity toxins have for being reabsorbed into the bloodstream through the porous walls of the intestines. There are basically two types of fiber: insoluble, and soluble. Read the rest of this entry »
