| Learn to Burn Fat Not Sugar - ASAP from Youngevity |
The only reason that you are overweight is because you eat too many calories. It has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with gender, nothing to do with being lazy, nothing to do with exercise. If you are nutritionally starved your body will force you to eat. The body knows that you are starving. But if you are eating the wrong foods no matter how much you eat you will soon be hungry. If you are eating correctly your body will be satisfied and your desire to eat will subside.
You are not a steam engine. The idea that all you have to do to lose weight is stop eating calories is true. However, you must supplement with minerals and vitamins to let the body know that you have supplied all that it needs. This idea comes from the age when steam and coal were the latest in technology. That coal represented a certain heat potential. A Calorie is a measurement of heat. By eating say 10 candy bars you may get a lot of heat or energy but it will not supply all the nutrition you need and you will soon "crash". And then you will eat another sugary food to try to boost your energy. While consuming sugar you are actually starving the body.
We now know that the mechanism for weight gain or loss is a lot more subtle than what is being advertised on TV. Without a true understanding of this complex mechanism permanent weight loss is an unachievable dream and will most likely lead to illness.
"Stop the insanity". Do you remember that? People sweating themselves to death trying to look healthy. If it really worked why are there more fat people today than ever before? Lack of nutrition in the food the people are eating.
But you can lose weight easily once you understand how the body works. It is not difficult. In fact it is fun. You have to become a fat burner not a sugar burner. We have been taught that to lose weight we have to burn sugar based calories. This may be true for an athlete. But the truth is we regular non competing people have to train our bodies to burn fat.
Sugar burns in the body like an explosion. When sugar burns it oxidizes. This oxidation leads to premature aging, diabetes, cancer and a host of other diseases. Oxidation actually leads to the acidification of the body and to obesity. There are other factors involved but you can easily see that burning sugar is not the right approach. This mechanism becomes even more complicated if you eat sugary fruits such as apples and peaches. Fructose, the kind of sugar found in fruits are broken down differently by the body and actually puts more stress on the liver. Fruits are in fact carbohydrates too. But a sugary fruits such as is found in orange juice can present problems because of the fructose..
Sugar itself is a carbohydrate. So is a piece of wood or a carrot. The difference is that sugar burns in the body rapidly and in vegetables it burns slowly. When you exercise vigorously you are burning sugar. The body heats up because calories are being burned rapidly. You are also creating free radicals. The free radicals do all sorts of damage to your body, your cells and your DNA. This is why athletes do not live too long.
To lose weight naturally you must burn fat. The body stores sugar as fat in case of a food emergency. You could say that fat is in response to a health emergency. Depending on what you eat the body determines how much sugar to store. One strategy and the strategy we use is to burn fat. This can be achieved by walking or other anaerobic exercising instead of aerobic exercising. The problem with this approach is time. It takes time to lose weight anaerobically. And of course you must be eating correctly otherwise the body will drive you to eat more calories. You need Essential Fatty Acids, high quality protein, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids and more to be healthy.
The Youngevity team has developed another plant based product that uses amino acids to send the body towards burning fat. The product is called ASAP. By using ASAP from Youngevity as well as the other Youngevity products you get all 90 necessary nutrients plus a lot more. Through using the recommended doses you can achieve amazing results safely in less time. Literally a few drops per day is enough to encourage the body to burn fat first for energy. In addition, by reducing or eliminating fast burning carbohydrates such as pasta, breads, ketchup, grains, beer, rice, potatoes, cereals, fruit juices and sugar including fructose you can quickly reduce the loads on the sugar management systems and other systems in the body that contribute to weight gain and other degenerative diseases
Let us take a more detailed look at this complex weight gain system. A little understanding about how the body evolved may be helpful. Over thousands of years human beings lived on the Savannahs of Africa. They were hunter gatherers and foragers. They ate roots, berries and small plants. Occasionally they would eat high value meats and even sugars. At that time most of our carbohydrates came from plants.
Over the years we began to associate protein with meat and carbohydrates with sugar. At that time it is estimated that 60% of our protein came from plants and that most of our carbohydrates came from plants. Today we call this the Paleolithic Diet.
As recently as 100 years ago the average American diet consisted of 1 pound of sugar per year. Today the average American consumes 4 pounds of sugar per year not including high fructose corn syrup and other non-natural sources of sugar. Many people consume a lot more.
Our brain and taste buds have been so corrupted to crave sugar that we will eat any substance that tastes sweet even if actually made from recombinant bacteria waste as in Aspartame. Never use a sugar substitute unless absolutely necessary. It is better to teach yourself to consume bitter tasting items rather than sugary tasting items. Use protein to wean yourself away from sugar.
The brain is hard wired to lead us towards carbohydrates and protein. It drives us to eat minerals in the form of salts, proteins in the form of plants and meats and carbohydrates in the form of sugars. It is an exquisitely designed system. But it can be tricked.
Food manufacturers have spent Billions of dollars to learn how to turn off the satiety switch in the brain so that the person will continue eating far beyond his actual hunger or needs. One possible strategy for weight loss is to turn this satiety switch back on. This can be achieved by consuming necessary minerals and vitamins in their natural plant derived form. It is said, that we are not sick, we are starving (for vitamins and minerals).
The second approach is to encourage the body to convert stored fat into useable fuel. Sugar is stored in the body as fat. When you see a person with excessive fat you are looking at a body that thinks it is facing famine and needs to store up fat for times when food is scarce. The storage of food as fat is an emergency response to a shortage of vital nutrients, acidity / toxicity and chemicals designed to make a person overeat by turning off the satiety switch.
The third and final issue is protein. Over the years the body has learned to associate carbohydrates with protein. Therefore, key to reducing carbohydrates is to not use will power but to increase the uptake of high quality protein. We suggest whey protein in powder form from grass fed cows. A person should be taking 1 gram of protein for every 10 pounds of body weight. So if you weigh 180 pounds you should be eating 18 grams of protein per day. By the way, meat is not the best form of protein given the hormones and antibiotics fed to the cattle.
You must recognize that sugar is a carbohydrate. You must also recognize the vegetables are carbohydrates. What is the difference? One is slow burning. The other is fast burning. Can you guess which is fast burning? Can you guess which one is insulin spiking? Which one explodes in the body? Which one is loved by cancer cells? Which one contributes to insulin resistance or Type 2 Diabetes?
To effectively reduce fast burning carbohydrates you must avoid bread, wheat, barley, rye, oats, pasta, flour, rice, sugar, corn, grains, potatoes, beer, alcohol, wine, manufactured foods, soda pop and starch. 'Fructose presents its own unique problems to the body because of how it is broken down in the body.
There is a lot more involved in weight gain and weight loss. One thing for sure is that Western populations are obese and suffering from a lack of understanding about how the body functions. ASAP presents a naturally formulated method to cause the body to lose weight, build muscle and rapidly adjust the body to metabolize fat first leaving you with a sculpted and muscular body. When taken with other plant derived vitamins and minerals also available from Youngevity ASAP provides startling results the way the body was designed in the first place. Rapid, Permanent and Safe.
