Eating high glycemic food such as processed, rapidly digested carbohydrates triggers changes in levels of insulin and other hormones. Hormone responses that profoundly changes your metabolism resulting in increased fat production which leads to excess fat storage.
The increased fat deposits lead to hunger and consumption of more calorie-rich foods leading to obesity. That excess fat storage leaves fewer calories circulating which deprives you of fuel and saps your energy.
There are different types of carbohydrate and not all of them are created with a n equal numerical value. Carbohydrates are divided into 2 main categories: Sugar, Fiber, and Starches; based on their structure and ability to be quickly digested.
It’s not just about eating. What you eat has a huge impact on whether you have obesity or not. Banish high processed foods (snacks, baked goods, sweets, white bread, and any pasta that is not 100% whole grains).
The US adult obesity rate stands at 42.4%, the first time the national rate has passed the 40% mark.
