| General nutrition - Synerprotein/TNT Whenever people eat a lot of simple carbohydrates, they experience a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. This prompts the pancreas to secrete large amounts of insulin to bring the sugar down. This sugar is moved into storage in the cells, increasing fat deposition. High insulin levels also cause blood sugar levels to fall off rapidly, resulting in low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and sugar cravings. This causes the person to crave more simple carbohydrates and starts the cycle over again. People who start the day with simple carbohydrates (cereals, pastries, coffee and doughnuts, etc.) initiate the body into a carbohydrate burning pattern, and put themselves on a blood sugar roller coaster for the rest of the day. This causes them to crave too much food later in the day too. In short, skipping breakfast or eating a breakfast that is primarily carbohydrates is one of the easiest ways to ensure weight gain. In contrast, protein and high quality fats don’t spike blood sugar levels, which keeps insulin levels lower. This helps with weight loss, improves energy levels and stamina, and reduces inflammation. It also reduces cravings for sugar. Sugar cravings are always a sign that you aren’t eating enough protein or good quality fats, or that you aren’t eating regularly enough. This is why something as simple as a shake made with SynerProTein first thing in the morning can be helpful in improving health. Adding a high quality fat like Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids and Coconut milk makes it even more effective, because the fats actually help the body assimilate the protein and make for even more stable blood sugar levels. Interestingly enough,
the newest artificial sweetener, Splenda (sucralose) spikes both blood
sugar levels and insulin levels, making it worthless for weight loss.
