Vanadium for blood sugar control and weight loss

Vanadium

And then, we started doing some research in the area of diabetes and blood sugar disorders and what they found was, low and behold, vanadium had a very positive impact on blood sugar, much in the way chromium would, but even to a stronger degree. So, vanadium is very good in terms of helping you utilize your glucose. One of the things that we’ve noticed is that the interest in vanadium, of course, comes from everybody, and from people who suffer from , say, type 2 diabetes, things such as that, but athletes, in particular, have been really after vanadium products. It’s because the athletes feel that in the course of an athletic event that they need vanadium to help stimulate their ability to use their energy better and the vanadium, they believe, helps them do that—unlocks it, if you will, as an energy source and gets it more involved in metabolic actions that help them build muscle and perform better.
Remember, controlling blood sugar prevents insulin spikes and keeps you from storing excess fat.

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load

We’ll now turn our attention to the concept of glycemic index and glycemic load. Why bother with this? The answer is quite simple, those foods with low glycemic index will almost invariably be best for us in our quest to lose weight. On the other hand, foods with high glycemic index lead to fat storage and weight gain.
What is the Glycemic Index(GI)?
The Glycemic Index (GI) is one the best tools for fat loss. It measures how quickly foods breakdown into sugar in your bloodstream. High glycemic foods turn into blood sugar very quickly. Starchy foods like potatoes are a good example. Potatoes have such a high GI rating, it’s almost the same as eating table sugar.
What is the Glycemic Load (GL)?
The GI tells you how fast foods spike your blood sugar. But the GI won’t tell you how much carbohydrate per serving you’re getting. That’s where the Glycemic Load is a great help. It measures the amount of carbohydrate in each service of food. Foods with a glycemic load under 10 are good choices—
these foods should be your first choice for carbs. Foods that fall between 10 and 20 on the glycemic load scale have a moderate affect on your blood sugar. Foods with a glycemic load above 20 will cause blood sugar and insulin spikes. Try to eat those foods sparingly.

Drink Water to Lose Weight

Water


Almost 70% of our body weight is water, making water by far the most plentiful nutrient in the human body. A person can survive for two months without food. Without water you will survive at most for one week and only a day or two if you are perspiring in a hot or humid environment. Every physiological process in your body uses water. It is required to transport nutrients, regulate temperature, and build tissues.
Water is a powerful weight loss tool. Water naturally suppresses the appetite and helps the body metabolize stored fat. A decrease in water intake will cause fat content to increase in your cells. This happens because your kidneys don’t function as efficiently when you are dehydrated. This places an increased load on your liver. Your liver is normally responsible for metabolizing fat. This increased load on your liver impairs its ability to metabolize fat, so instead of metabolizing the fat, your body stores it.
As for water weight gain, drinking enough water is the best treatment to get rid of excess fluid in your body. When the body gets less water, it perceives this as a threat to survival
and begins to conserve it. Water is stored in extra cellular spaces (outside the cells). This shows up as swollen feet, legs and hands.
The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs-plenty of water. Only then will stored water be released. Any good weight loss program will talk about the effectiveness of drinking enough water.
The average person requires at least 8 (12 oz. or 360 ml) glasses per day. If you are overweight, drink 10-11 glasses per day. Of course if you are perspiring a lot in a hot, humid environment you will require much more water than this.

Benefit of Nuts

Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts,Peanuts, and others)


All nuts are high in protein and monounsaturated fat (good fats). Almonds and walnuts are the kings of nuts. Eating nuts does not result in the high caloric intake that you’d expect,
because 5-15% of their calories are not absorbed by the body.

Nuts help build muscle. In addition to having protein, almonds have an adequate amount of magnesium, which is crucial to building muscle. Fight cravings by eating 24 almonds for a snack or before a meal, then drink 8 ounces of water to suppress your appetite. The water will cause the fiber of the nuts to expand in your stomach, making you feel fuller.
Nutrition: fiber, potassium, vitamin E, fiber magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron.

Trick Your Stomach

Trick your stomach
 
You can trick your stomach into thinking it’s full by eating a low-calorie, though dense first course before your main meal. For your first course, choose water-rich vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, zucchini, or salad. These low-calorie vegetables will fill you up, and you won’t feel the need to eat as much.

You can also accomplish this 'trick' by taking Fiber capsules.  As part of our weight loss system. Synergistic Nutritional Labs has incorporated Master Fiber Capsules. Take them 20 min before a meal with water. They will decrease your appetite and they are also great for the health of your digestive tract. Fiber also slows the absorption of carbs that you eat which prevents insulin spikes leading to less storage of belly fat.

To lose belly fat it is important to keep your blood sugar stable. Glucose(sugar) spikes cause your body to release a lot of insulin ( insulin spike) and store fat in your belly. Take cinnamon and chromium to help stabilize sugar spikes. Fiber also helps. I will report some other great things to take to stabilize blood sugar as well. This is also great news for type II diabetics or pre-diabetics.
