Don’t believe me? When was the last time you found someone who was compulsively overeating plain brown rice? I didn’t think so. Let’s get real here. It’s the Danishes, the double chocolate muffins, the cakes, the cookies, and the fried stuff that makes us fat. That banana or carrot stick had very little to do with it.
Refined carbohydrates (or carbs) raise your blood sugar very quickly. Your body goes into panic mode and dumps a bunch of insulin on it to restore balance. Unfortunately, your sugar level then drops very quickly. You start craving sugary, fatty foods (which is what got you into trouble in the first place). Unless you break the cycle, this will go on forever. Cut out the refined stuff and it will be easier to eat less.
The Place for Protein
You need protein. But not as much protein as you are probably already eating. If you eat more protein than you need, then your body is forced to get rid of the excess. It does this by pulling the calcium out of your bones and using that to flush out the protein. This is fine if you like the hunch-back, osteoporotic look later in life.
