It’s official – 1 in 3 Americans will develop diabetes. That is outstanding and disgusting. Just in case the prevalence causes some sort of desensitization let me be clear for you, diabetes takes an average of 15 years off your life, it is also the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure and amputations. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death and your chances of dying are twice that of someone that does not have diabetes.

It is ALL about the food you eat. Food is broken down into molecular units to be processed by your body. Sugar and carbohydrates are broken doesn’t into glucose, glucose gets in the bloodstream and raises blood sugar. In response, the pancreases releases insulin to help get rid of the sugar. However, we are not eating food, we are eating poisoned food like substances like high fructose corn syrup and genetically modified food products. The result we have too much sugar floating in our bloodstream and our pancreases can not keep up and so you get diabetes.

The absolutely only way to control this is to control the carbohydrates you are eating. I am NOT talking about a low carb diet – far from it. Low carb diets are not healthy, cause brain problems, weigh loss always stalls, lack of nutrients and depression. I am talking about eliminating all refined carbohydrates – meaning sugar and flour and keep your protein intake up. If you do this you can not only lose weight quickly and without suffering, you will keep your insulin and blood sugar in balance which will change everything about your health.

The Skinny Coach diet has been sugar and flour free for 17 years. While the diet gurus where still promoting low fat, I knew no refined foods was the way to go.

Sally just came for her weigh in today and lost 11 pounds and 29 inches and so can you.
