Day 11 Press Up Challenge | Fruits, Fructose & The Liver

24/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Most of us believe that the consumption of Fruits & vegetables is an important part of our diet.

Since being on the Carnivore Diet, I’ve not missed eating fruits and vegetables. My system has got used to not consuming all that fibre you find in vegetables.

The danger with eating too much fruits is that you can consume too much sugar. The sugar in fruits is made up of sugar and fructose. Too much fructose can adversely affect the liver.

Fruits that are very high in sugar content are dried fruits especially raisins, dates, apricots, figs which have between 55 and 75 grams of sugar per 100 grams. These should really be avoided.

The fresh very sweet fruits such as bananas, figs, grapes, cherries, mangoes, Kiwi & pineapple should also be avoided if your body does not tolerate carbohydrates, ie you experience an insulin surge. These fruits contain between 12 and 20 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit. These days most of the fruit we get are engineered or manipulated to be sweet.

The next category of fruit that can be eaten in moderation are apples, blueberries, apricot, orange, grapefruit, which have between 9 and 11 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit. They are not as sweet as the previous category, but they are still sweet and can cause insulin spikes.

The low sugar fruits are raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and lemon are safe to eat on a regular basis.

Of course, age, metabolism, genetics, activity level and insulin sensitivity play a part in how the body deals with sugar.

Be Healthy to Lose Weight

The key to losing weight is to get healthy first. When you’re in a healthy state, the body works properly, and this helps to keep the body in optimum shape.

How the body is fuelled
The body can run on sugar fuel and/or fat fuel. Sugar fuel is the dirty fuel, like diesel. Fat fuel is the clean fuel, like what electric cars run on. The majority of people use sugar as fuel due to following a high carbohydrate diet and eating at least 3 meals a day with snacks in between.

Frequent eating and snacking stimulate the production of insulin. Insulin is the hormone that makes you gain weight. Insulin prevents you from losing weight. Therefore the key to losing weight is to avoid raising insulin.

How to avoid raising insulin
Eating carbohydrates triggers the insulin response. Eating fat, on the other hand, has no effect on insulin. The body tends to burn sugar fuel first before using fat stores. Therefore, it makes sense to either reduce the carbohydrate consumption or eat less frequently.

Carbohydrates are the culprit that makes you fat. Check the labels on packages to see what quantity of carbohydrates is in that food. Ideally, aim for 20 g-50 g of carbohydrates a day. Even a tiny amount of sugar blocks fat burning.

Some Examples of Hidden Carbohydrates
Grains: Rice, oats, wheat, pulses, corn
Starchy Vegetables: Potato, beetroot, most below the ground vegetables
Restaurant Food
Fruit Juice: contains fructose which can only be processed by the liver.
Fruit: With the exception of berries, all fruit contains a high amount of fructose.
Sweeteners: Honey, Agave, brown sugar

Can a Ketogenic diet help fight cancer?

Nearly all cancer cells share one common trait: they feed off carbs or blood sugar in order to grow and multiply.

When you eat a ketogenic diet, some of the standard metabolic processes are altered and your blood sugar levels go way down.

Basically, this is claimed to "starve" the cancer cells of fuel.

    I've been teaching yoga since 2009 and always had an interest in healthy living.

    Having recently been diagnosed with elevated cholesterol, I went in search for ways to lower it. In my search, I came across the Ketogenic diet.
