So, another great video very pleasantly presented. For the otherwise healthy, managing sugars must start with breaking the chains of consumerism which is a form of slavery. Sugar other than what is found in nature is being used by manufacturers to compete for our “business” by letting the tongue be the judge of how good what we ate was. Sugar other than what is found in nature is no different than the bate we use to change a living fish into dinner. Fish is not smart enough to avoid the bate, but we are smart enough to evaluate the food we are going to eat. French fries is the way to get us to eat extra sugar that exists in ketchup; we are conditioned to use the potato as a sugar-delivery tool. First thing we need to do is to become aware of what we eat and understand that not everything we are sold as food is actually food, and if it isn’t food then we need to be careful about it. Then we need to understand a little more about the human body and how it works at least to a level we all try to understand our cars and how they generally work and not to the level that a mechanic must know although it would be great if we knew our bodies to those levels. Liver regulates blood sugar supply mostly for the sake of the brain, and it ensures a minimum amount is always available. Among other things, the pancreas has a responsibility of watching for the blood sugar not to exceed what is required by the body to “operate” either on the couch or in the gym and everywhere in between. Excess sugars will first be stored as glycogen primarily inside muscle cells as ready reserves of energy, the rest of excess sugars will get turned into fat. And when this system breaks down due to overuse, then the system goes out of balance and various issues such as obesity and eventually T2 diabetes will begin. Eat clean natural foods, give fiber very high priority, don’t drink fruit juices, think of your body as a car: if you fill it up with gas then drive it, and if you don’t drive it then stop filling it with gas because the fuel tank will overflow. We are designed to work hard to get our food and not to pull onto drive through and pick up artificial food and sodas and ketchup - heck, a decade or so ago we at least had to roll the window down to get that food, now it is electric, and now we have “food” brought to us through our phones.

Fundamentals of a balanced Diet:
1) STOP comfort food.
2) STOP eating food which taste good to your tongue.
3) Intake food in 6 hrs intervals, STOP with half empty stomach.
4) Test your sugar levels regularly.
5) Listen to your doctor.
6) Excerise regularly, try to fit in your old cloths.
7) Stay alone, and learn to manage a household without assistance.
8) Cook 2wice a week; and eat refrigerated food! The idea is looking at the same food may lesson carb cravings.
