Why do junk foods make us fat? According to thenakedscientists.com, a study conducted by the Medical Research council on junk foods reveal that junk foods contain high energy density. This means that it contains a lot of calories which is the result of high levels of fat and sugar it contains, and low level of fiber and protein.
Cut out on carbohydrates. Too much carbohydrates intake may make you fat. Carbohydrates is the body’s main source of energy, however, once you intake more than your body needs, it is stored in the body as fats on your belly, arms and other parts of the body where excess fat deposits are stored. When you eat carbohydrates, it is then rapidly digested and turned into blood glucose by the body. The pancreas then produces large amount of insulin which regulates the glucose levels of the body. Glucose is then taken out from the bloodstream and converted to starch called glycogen and then stored in the liver and the muscles in the body. Once the body has used the necessary amount of glycogen, excess amounts of it is then stored as body fat. If there is too much body fat in the body, the person then puts on weight. It is therefore necessary to take carbohydrates in moderation to be successful in your weight loss goal.
Cut out on sweets and your favorite desserts. Sugar makes you fat. Too much sugar in the body will cause fat deposits which are unsightly. Sugar when taken into the body alerts the pancreas to produce insulin in order to regulate the body’s sugar level. This reaction causes high amounts of insulin to be released. After this, the body’s sugar levels drops as well as the body’s energy level. The body then interprets that it needs another supply of sugar in order to bring back the body’s sugar balance. Thus, you become hungry sometimes even too much hungry as the body’s way to cope to bring back the energy it needs. If you continue eating too much sugar, the process repeats itself which results to more food intake than usual. The excess glucose also taken in by the body from the foods you eat are also stored in the body as excess fat similar with carbohydrates. This is the reason why it is necessary to take sweets as well as carbohydrates in moderation.
