Over 90% of chronic disease stems from one lie taught to doctors, dieticians, nutritionists, and personal trainers worldwide. Glucose is the body’s preferred energy source! If glucose is so good for you, why does your body do everything it can to eliminate it from your blood?
The average thin person has about 100,000 calories of stored fat and only 1,700 calories of glucose. When you consume sugar, it’s removed from the blood very quickly, and the excess sugar is converted into fat. The body requires a small amount of glucose, but your body can make this small amount.
The single root cause of chronic disease is high glucose! Blood sugar spikes create inflammation on the inside of the arteries, leading to chronically high insulin levels to remove the sugar. The body compensates with insulin resistance to slow down the glucose that enters the cells.
Early symptoms of insulin resistance include:
•Frequent urination at night
•Brain fog
•Loss of memory
•Belly fat
•Visual problems
•Mood issues
•Anxiety
•Depression
•Excessive hunger/cravings
•Heart palpitations
•Fluid retention in ankles and feet
•Sleep apnea
These initial symptoms can ultimately lead to diabetes, dementia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
People are not taught about the dangers of sugar and carbohydrates. In fact, most people aren’t worried about their high-carbohydrate diet because the food pyramid tells us that we should consume 65% of our calories from carbohydrates. This is a lie!
A low-carb diet of less than 30 grams of carbs per day is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. One study showed a 90% success rate of ceasing insulin use in 10 weeks on a low-carb diet!
The food industry has created the lie that glucose is the preferred fuel because you can profit the most from refined carbohydrates!
