The Number One Thing You Can Do To Lose Weight

I know that this is something that you don't want to hear, but it's the truth. The number one way to begin losing weight immediately -- barring other health problems that may be causing you to gain weight, such as hypothyroidism -- is to eliminate all sugar in all its forms from your diet. That includes fruit juices which are high in fructose.

The health industry today would have you believe that fat is the culprit in causing you to gain weight. I suppose it could be if eaten at high levels. Good fats are very healthy and they are not why you are having weight problems. It's sugar. Our bodies are not designed to handle the high quantities of sugar that the average American consumes.

Years ago I was found to be hypoglycemic. I was just boarder line hypoglycemic but non-the-less decided to stop eating sugar at the advice of my chiropractor. I lost 15 pounds in one month. The only change I had made in my diet was to exclude sugar in all its forms. I also felt better than I had felt in years -- more energy, more clarity of thought -- just great health.

The forms of sugar are: glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, maltose and other oses. Be sure to read the ingredients and see if there are any oses. If there is, it is probably a form of sugar. Another form of sugar is starch which is found in white breads and pastries. I guess starch isn't exactly sugar but the body treats it in the same way. So it's also good to avoid.
