Great news for all of us on our new year diets. Scientists have found a hormone that stops sugar cravings. We are constantly surrounded by sugary treats, scientists may have discovered an antidote for resisting those treats!! It is apparently a hormone secreted by the liver in response to high carbohydrate levels. It then enters the bloodstream and sends a signal to the brain to stop craving sugar. Sounds to good to be true. It could help those of us who are diabetic or obese, but has only been proven to work in clinical trials so far, so I’ll keep you posted with further updates.
Meantime we just have to be sensible and use our self control, combined with an awareness of what contains the most sugar. Fruit is great for a quick sweet fix, but try to avoid dried or processed fruits as these are high in concentrated sugars. It might sound a lot but on average we could eat as many as seven cubes of sugar per day disguised in our everyday food.Try if you can,switching to a no sugar diet. It is so much healthier and it does help to shed the pounds.
Try switching to a high protein diet, rather than just looking at the calorific content. Find the right diet for you. Use all of the information we haver now around us to find out what you need to stay slim and healthy. There are all sorts of fitness apps available and so much information on the internet. Try not to overload with information, but just choose what’s best for you and your lifestyle.
If all else fails, the latest news from scientific research is to eat in front of a mirror!! That’s right. If we look at ourselves eating it will make us cut down.We become more aware of the types of food we are eating and more aware of when to stop.
Sothose are my tips for healthy dieting this year so far. Stay strong and keep your goal in mind.
