Just a Bite

Many people do not understand that just one bite or sip of the wrong food at the wrong time can ruin a perfectly good meal. For example, if for breakfast you have steak and nuts your breakfast is perfect, but as soon as you have a bite of bread, a sip of orange juice or sugar in your coffee you just messed up the whole meal. That one bite can trigger your body to store most of the meal. You must remember that it is not the calories that we are worried about, it is the hormonal consequence of what we eat that matters the most. Here's what happens, when you eat a protein and fat meal and add in a fast acting carb that one carb stimulates insulin. Insulin acts like a key to open the door to your fat cells allowing all the fat you just ate to be stored. If you can avoid eating carbohydrates that door stays locked and the fat is burned for energy.
