Carbohydrate foods convert to sugars that trigger insulin production, which our body needs for certain processes, and triggers fat storage. So does sugar. There is no use trying to fight it, instead work with your body. The first step is to check how much carbohydrates and sugar you are taking in every day. It means eating smaller portions of the things we love that are carbohydrates and cutting out the things that are bad for us such as sugar containing products and refined foods.
Protein is the counter balance to the carbohydrate problem.
Eat more protein containing foods and less carbohydrates. Protein also builds muscle mass which helps to burn fat. Eat a little more often as well, so that the blood sugar remains more stable without the ups and downs. So that would mean eat 4 to 6 times a day. Now go to your cupboard and take out a few packaged goods.
