Fifty Ways To Meet Your Lover


Written by John E. Whicomb, M.D. from the Aurora Sinai Wellness Institute


Sugar, We love sugar. Our tongues have receptors for sugar. Our brain puts out endorphins when we eat sugar. Throughout our evolution, sweet meant valuable nutrition that was safe to gorge on. Now, in the twenty first century, sweet is our downfall. We are all addicted to it. When we get it, we gorge on it. We all know that sugar is a problem. Our food manufacturers know that we are learning to watch nutrition labels.


Here is where it gets tricky. Law requires that processed foods have a label on them that list their ingredients in order of content. If sugar is the most abundant ingredient, it must be listed first. Then, you, savvy shopper, would not buy it. So, let’s pull off some sleight of hand. Let’s fool you, knowing that you really want to be fooled anyways. Let’s put sugar into many different forms and list each of the forms separately. They are all still sugar, glucose and fructose combined together. It gets to be kind of fun. Here are the 56 names I’ve found so far for sugar. Fifty ways…

  1. Barley malt
  2. Barbados sugar
  3. Beet sugar
  4. Brown sugar
  5. Buttered syrup
  6. Cane juice
  7. Cane sugar
  8. Caramel
  9. Corn Syrup
  10. Corn Syrup solids
  11. confectioners’ sugar
  12. carob syrup
  13. castor sugar
  14. date sugar
  15. dehydrated cane juice
  16. demerara sugar
  17. dextrose
  18. dextran
  19. diastatic malt
  20. diatase
  21. ethyl maltol
  22. free flowing brown sugars
  23. fructose
  24. fruit juice
  25. fruit juice concentrate
  26. galactose
  27. glucose
  28. glucose solids
  29. Golden Sugar
  30. Golden Syrup
  31. Grape sugar
  32. HCFS
  33. Honey
  34. Icing sugar
  35. Invert sugar
  36. Lactose
  37. Malt
  38. Maltodextrin
  39. Maltose
  40. Malt Syrup
  41. Mannitol
  42. Maple Syrup
  43. Molasses
  44. Muscovado
  45. Panocha
  46. Powdered Sugar
  47. Raw Sugar
  48. Refiner’s Syrup
  49. Rice Syrup
  50. Sorbitol
  51. Sorghum Syrup
  52. Sucrose
  53. Sugar (granulated)
  54. Treacle
  55. Turbinado Sugar
  56. Yellow Sugar

There are more! Alarm, Alarm! You are being lied to. Give me a break. Turn it around and have some fun. Look at your next “Fiber Bar” and see how many forms of sugar you can find. If there are more than three, DON’T eat it. It’s mostly sugar. You lover is lying to you. Toss it. Have an apple. Eve may be a fallen angel, but she offered you a sweet apple, and it’s better for you.

4 Snack-Smart Guidelines

Eat This Not that brings you 4 simple guidelines to nibbling away pounds
The most effective way to lose weight is by eating the right foods at the right times. Slurping down a cup of coffee for breakfast and ignoring your rumbling stomach until noon isn't just uncomfortable -- it will also leave you more likely to order up a burger and fries at the first sight of a drive-thru. Would you like extra pounds with that?


The good news is that it's okay to munch in between meals. A 2005 study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that people on a weight-loss plan who snacked lost as much weight as those on the same weight-loss plan who didn't. Bet you can guess which group of people felt less restricted.


But that doesn't mean you should go have a free-for-all in the aisles of 7-Eleven. Choosing the right snacks is essential to maintaining good health, reaching your goal weight, and having more energy. That's why Eat This, Not That! developed the following snack-smart guidelines.


Don’t snack if you’re not hungry
French researchers found that when people who weren't hungry ate a snack a few hours after lunch, they did not eat fewer calories at dinner, regardless of whether the snack was high in carbohydrates or fat


Go for high-protein, not high-carb
Another group of French researchers found that high-protein snacks help people feel full longer and eat less at their next meal. Study participants ate 200 calories of protein or carbs or nothing at all. Those who ate high-carbohydrate snacks were hungry again just as quickly as those who ate no snacks.


Keep the salt down, especially for your kids
A study published in an American Heart Association journal found that kids who eat salty snacks get thirstier (obviously), but they're also more likely to drink calorie- and sugar-laden sodas to tame their thirst. According to the USDA, most of the sodium in the American diet comes from packaged and processed foods. Naturally occurring salt accounts for only 13 percent of total intake, while 77 percent is added by food manufacturers.


Think dips
The average corn chip is hardly a model of nutrition. But you can turn it into something much healthier by pairing it with the right dip. Sour cream and dried onion soup? Not so fast. But mix a little avocado, some lime juice, half a jalapeno, and a few sprinkles of salt and you have instant guacamole-and a delivery system for fiber, vitamins and minerals, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. Low-cal, high-in-vitamins salsa and fiber-rich bean dips are also smart choices.

The Skinny on Cheese

 

Want to treat yourself to one of the more than 400 varieties of cheese but don’t want to add to your waistline? How can you balance your love of cheese with healthful eating?
You can control the amount of fat in the cheese you eat:

  • Low-fat or fat-free mozzarella or cheddar complement many casseroles and ethnic dishes

  • String cheese comes pre-packaged so you can control your portions more easily

  • Low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese with fresh fruit slices makes a great snack

  • Sharp cheeses allow you to enjoy all the flavor in smaller portions

  • Shredded cheese gives the appearance of more while using less

  • Grated or crumbled cheese like feta, bleu or Parmesan offer flavor that lasts.
