Not All Healthy Meals Lead To Weight Loss

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
California, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2012 -- It is a common misconception that all foods found in a natural food market and recommended as healthy also will help to promote weight loss. Many of those foods may instead make you gain weight. Some of those foods even if they are advertised as being healthy meals and natural may not be healthy at all. Pre packaged and frozen meals for example are first of all made to taste good so people will buy them, then a lot of effort is put into advertising to make people believe they are eating healthy meals so they can feel good about buying it.

These dishes may contain a lot of salt which is not healthy, and a lot of salt makes it harder to lose weight since it can cause fluid retention, making you weigh more. Usually these so called healthy meals also have a fair amount of sugar added since that makes them taste better. Sugar however triggers more of the hormone insulin because the body needs to metabolize and transfer that sugar into the cells. A big insulin response will make you hungry, and sweet foods will make you crave more sweets. For a while you may be able to resist eating more even if you feel hungry, but in the long run that usually does not work. Long term you most likely will end up eating more than you need to and of the wrong kind of food, gaining weight instead of experiencing weight loss.

Lets look at some foods that is promoted as very healthy even by healthcare professionals. Whole grains are by most people considered very healthy and for example a whole grain sandwich would then be a very healthy meal. The problem however is that the whole grains you find in most whole grain breads have been milled quite fine so the fiber in the whole grain is not very effective in slowing down the absorption of the carbohydrates in that sandwich. The result is that you digest it fairly fast, raising the blood sugar high and triggering a lot of insulin. Even if whole grain sandwiches are by many considered to be healthy meals, when your body has access to the calories very quickly, you will not be able to use those calories that quickly, and your body ends up storing the excess as fat. Instead of weight loss you will experience weight gain. Whole grain pasta is another example. Healthy meals that incorporates a lot of whole grain bread or whole grain pasta will make it very difficult for you to experience any weight loss.
Fruit is a type of food that is healthy if eaten in moderation, but if you eat a lot of fruit at one time or drink a lot of fruit juice, you end up ingesting a lot of sugar, making it very difficult to lose weight. It is much healthier for example to eat an orange than to drink a big glass of orange juice, it would also be better from a weight loss point of view.

Think what a difference it would make if you could combine foods in a meal that research has documented to cause more weight loss when they were compared with other foods. That is what you will learn from The Special Effects Diet.
