#006 The main energy source for our bodies
Regardless of what you have heard about the dangers of carbohydrates, they are an important part of a healthy diet.
Simple sugars vs. complex carbs
Simple sugars:
Complex carbs:
Glycemic Index:
Glycemic index measures how fast & how high our blood sugar rises after consuming a particluar carb. For example white bread has a high gycemic index. White bread will convert to blood sugar almost immediately, resulting in a rapid spike.
Compair this to brown rice which has a low gycemic index. Brown rice is digested much more slowly causing a steady rise in blood sugar. The slow rise in blood sugar is what the body prefers.
Diets rich in high gycemic index foods often lead to diabetes. Overall, we are more concerned with glycemic load.
A good database reference is www.glycemicindex.com

IN THE NEWS
CBS is reporting that “Diabetes has become such a pressing healthcare concern in the United States, one in three kids will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives.
AND
NPIcenter is reporting on the The Natural Marketing Institute’s 2005 Health & Wellness Trends Report where the topic of consumer awareness of the key differences and benifits of low-carb versus slow-carb is on the rise, primarily due to blood sugar control issues and diabetes.
Now if you do eat somthing you didn’t plan on, you should use your skills to change the situation, either by bringing something you can or should have into that environment or by removing something you shouldn’t have. This may also include removing yourself from the situation, go take a walk or play with the kids or something to get away. There are some things you do NOT want to do in response to eating an unplanned food.
Realize that it may take a week or more for those calories to show up on the scale.
Try to have fun and be social without makeing the entire event about food and eating.
No matter how good or bad your day goes, tomorrow is another day.
The Eating Well Podcast #005 on Environmental Control for Wednesday October 19th 2005
Today’s show topic is Environmental control, We’ve mentioned it a lot in previous shows. Now we really break it down and talk about it.
There are two types of environmental control: Additive and Subtractive
Either your bringing things into your environment because you want to their influence, or you’re removing things from your environment because you don’t want their influence.
Environmental Control is a behavior modification tool, that you can use to help yourself make better decisions, and change or encourage or discourage a particular behavior.
That behavior can be anything from eating things from vending machines to getting exercise to what time you eat, the list is really limited by your own creativity because environmental control is a tool. Once you learn how to wield it you’ll find all sorts of uses for it.
Environmental control can have a tremendous impact on your ability to eat a healthy nutritious diet and lead a more active lifestyle.
There are a great number of choices you can influence in each enviornment where adding something to them or removing something from them would help you make a better choice.
