High Fructose Corn Syrup Discussion

Those in a quest to find out How to Lose Weight Fast fill hopefully find the following discussion very helpful, as it is by far the single most important and impactful thing you can do to Lose Weight Fast.  Sugars are the topic, and you must avoid them at all costs. Now I’m not referring to carbohydrates in general, but I am referring to soft drinks, candy, and sweets in general. It is extremely hard to find food these days (especially processed foods), that are not chalked full of sweeteners, in specific High Fructose Corn Syrup. High fructose corn syrup, aka HFCS, is the worst of all the sugars in terms of the amount of pounds we pack on when it is included in our diets. Now, there are plenty of scientific studies out there that show the science behind this fact, and for most of us that don’t understand the technical stuff, that’s Okay. The simple fact remains that we all need to avoid HFCS like the plague!! There does seem to be a bit of confusion out there regarding fructose in which the question becomes, if HFCS is bad for me then can I still eat foods containing fructose? The answer is of course Yes!! As we all know fructose is a naturally occurring sugar found in many fruits. The difference is the form fructose is in when produced by plants. You see plants have been producing fructose in a very specific form for millions of years, and the entire animal kingdom have adapted to this type of sugar. HFCS is a different form of fructose that our bodies aren’t used to, and digests the fructose the best it can. The problem is, large quantities of fructose is what causes your body to turn on the “Fat-Storage Switch”, requisitioning all your metabolisms resources to store as much fat as possible. Our bodies are programmed for this and there’s no way around it. This effect of fat storage is very useful for survival in the animal kingdom, not so useful for the overweight-conscious crowd. However, this is not a rant on how bad carbohydrates in general are, in-fact carbs can be used to your benefit when trying to Lose Weight Fast if taken in the right way, right time, and right amounts. This IS a rant on HFCS however, and if you want to Lose Weight Fast you must cut out all the sugars!! You must gain the self-control and be able to say NO to candy bars and the worst of them all, Soft Drinks. Even foods like yogurt, which I’m sure your doctor or trainer have told you are high in protein and must be included in your diet, are packed with HFCS.

Have you ever looked through the yogurt isle of your local supermarket and looked at the label on the yogurt containers? I have and believe me, all of them say “Low-Fat” or “Non-Fat” on the label. Ironically, who cares about how much fat it contains? HFCS is the enemy and 98% of the yogurt isle is full of HFCS. It may take you a few minutes, but its well worth finding the lowest sugar content in all your foods if you want to know How to Lose Weight Fast. Much more information on this topic to come, including food options low in HFCS and low in the glycemic index. Please continue to read our weekly posts and you too can learn How to Lose Weight Fast!!
