Is Sugar = Fat ??

Yes.. this is also one of my BIG questions... I am sooo curious about Sugar put together with FAT...

Well, I put here all of my questions about SUGAR and the Answers that I found from the internet..

I hope you can also find what you've been looking for in here.. ^_^


Is SUGAR equal FAT??
The Answer is NO. Sugar actually has a purpose as ENERGY for our body. The problem is, our body only need a certain amount of sugar daily, so if we consum sugar too much, they will be put on the side as "FAT", and will be used later only if our body need them again.

However, the conversion from FAT back into a form "Energy" that can be used to do physical activity is chemically rather slow...


So, How much does our body need SUGAR daily?
It is recommended that we only take 8 teaspoons / 32 grams per day based on a 2000 calories/day DIET.

Watch out.. There are GOOD Sugar and BAD Sugar.. Good ones are normally in fruit, vegetables, and low fat milk. And BAD ones are mostly in market products. Don't forget, snacks, yoghurt, sodas, and juices contain also alot of SUGAR...

Sugar Substitude / Other Sweetened Products... Are these GOOD??
The answer is NO!!

Scientists at Purdue University did some series of experiments, they have proven that animals that ate food with substitude sugar, consumed more calories and gained more weight. And as they continued the experiment, those animals were tended to eat more..

You can find these kinds of sugar substitude in our daily products, for example 0,1% fat yoghurts, diet soda, low calories food products, etc.. Wohoo.. scary,right??


Does brown sugar also has the same effect?
Brown sugar at grocery stores is actually white granulated sugar with added molasses.

The pure unrefined brown sugar contains indeed more amounts of minerals than the white sugar.

So, if you are thinking about the brown sugar at the market, YES, they have the same effect as the white sugar. But the unrefined ones, which is called demerara or muscovado, are actually a good substitude for sugar..


How about mapple syrup or honey? Can we use them as substitude for sugar??
The answer is YES.. But remember, only the pure one... and don't ever think that you can use them as much as you want... They also have daily balances for our body, just like sugar.. It is only that they are healthier than the white refined sugar...

We also have to be carefull, because mapple syrup and honey are less sweet than sugar, sometimes we just don't think about the amount that we add to our drink / food... They can also be the cause for diabetes...


So... I think what we shold do is only to hold our sugar / sweet consume every day... WOW.. it is hard than I thought.. hehe..

Can Oil help Us in LOOSING Weight??

Hey guys,

you know what.. Oil can help us to burn our body fat and help us in our DIET Programs..
Maybe most of you guys already know about this, I just want to keep this information here, just in case if I want to recheck again, what kinds and what are they for..

I collect again some infos from the internet.. I hope you enjoy reading my blog until now.. And thanks for dropping by..

1. Olive-Oil.

Olive-Oil is one of the "good Fat", as I already mentioned in my fist chapter, its called the unsaturated Fat. Olive Oil is rich in mono-unsaturated fat. They help you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down.

Just One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monounsaturated fat.

Don't forget to buy the VIRGIN Olive-Oil, this denotes it is unrefinded. Many people take virgin olive oil for breakfast instead of orange juice.. Nice idea..

A study in Japan has proven, with bunch of rats that're being feed with virgin olive oil, and the other with the ordinary olive oil. The rats with virgin olive oil showed the lowest bodyfat, particularly brown fat, and highest concentrations of noradrenalin and adrenaline excretion, a key indicator in burning brown fat.

2. Virgin Coconut oil.

Many people are reporting that comsumption of Virgin Coconut Oil is bringing about Increased energy levels, fewer cravings for CRABS and SWEETS, and a more satisfied of being FULL after meals.

Coconut oil is unique in nature with medium chain fatty acids that are also found in human breast milk, with volumes of research showing that it leads to greater metabolism and weight loss.

Some of the people take 3 /4 Teaspoon daily.. And they manage to loss 20 Pounds in 2 Months... Hmm... want to take this a try?


3. Omega 3 Fish Oil

Omega 3 are also the good buddies or included in unsaturated fat. A recent study has proven that by suplementing diet with Omega 3 fish oil would increase the number of fat calories burned in a single day.

Why does Omega 3 Fish Oil make some effect? Its because Omega 3 Fish Oil has 50% Lower INSULIN than the normal Fish Oil. Insulin increases the activity of an enzym known to promote the storage of FAT...


I will add more, if I find some new informations.. ^_*
