Episode 95 - Eliminate This One Thing!

Over the years, Big Food was able to convince us that snacking was not only acceptable, but it was also healthy! A whole new category of food was created and it needed to be cheap and easy to eat. So most snacks consist of crackers, pretzels, cookies or anything that is a refined carbohydrate. Sugar and flour was the perfect match for snacking because it never spoils and can be eaten on the run!

The pattern of the increase in snacks throughout the years was a great money maker for Big Food companies which increased the risk of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance requires 2 things - high levels and persistent levels. High levels of insulin are provided by refined carbohydrates found in snacks. Persistent levels are provided by the increased eating opportunities.

Insulin resistance is the ultimate outcome of all this snacking. Instead of a balance between the insulin dominant (fed) state and the insulin deficient (fasting) state, we now spend most of our time in a 'fed' state. And you wonder why we gain weight?

Try eliminating snacking and eat 3 satiating meals. If you have the urge to snack, wait, take a drink of water, tea or black coffee (no sweeteners) and let the hunger wave subside!
