What's Making Us Fat"

Have you ever noticed that no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you exercise or no matter how many calories you cut, you still can't get rid of the extra fat? There could be another reason for your size.

My friend has a twin born at the same time but one guy's bigger and still is 40 years later. The bigger brother is overweight and the smaller one is thin and fit. The overweight brother can't seem to lose the extra fat. At family gatherings, they always eat the same amount of food but the smaller one never gains weight. So what's going on is pretty normal for siblings. I've read a lot about families with some overweight members and some thin members. 

Research shows that we are all different even when we're twins. So even if we look the same, we all process our food differently. It's your DNA that's different. DNA is in every gene that you were born with and siblings from the same parents won't have exactly the same DNA. So in that respect, we are all different. Science is working on this right now. If everyone at the family table eats exactly the same thing, for some of them, it's too much and for some, it might not be enough, but it's not just the quantity, because of different DNA each person processes that food differently. Maybe some of those people can't eat starchy foods, for example, their system can't process the starch and the body turns it into fat and stores it. 

That can happen with any food group, my wife can't eat beef. She can't digest it.  Some people can't eat dairy products, everyone's   different even though we all 

look the same or come from the same family. 

You can still overcome these differences by listening to your body  and            understanding what your limitations are. It will take some work on your part, but  if you really want to slim down and get back to a healthy weight You must take your weight problem serious and do the work, investigate your behavior and find out    what foods are causing your weight problem. I know guys that are seriously         overweight and  know that breads and other bakery goods are their problem, but they won't stop. They won't change, their in denial. Guys are harder to  convince that “they need to make the tough choices”. Generally, they won't change until their    Doctor has the big “come to Jesus” talk about their health. 

Personally, I think the overweight problem is mostly genetic.  Because of your DNA maybe you who are African shouldn't be eating   Chinese or even Italian. Because ofyour ancestry you should be eating more like Africans. Maybe the overweight problem in China is because of the recent prosperity and the introduction of food from    different parts of the world. Even American fast food is becoming   popular in 

China. Because of the DNA of different people and the    relatively new craze of 

eating out and eating a big variety of different foods from different cultures, 

this maybe causing the overweight problem. 

There's another possibility, and this one your Doctor can help you  with. If you seriously want to stop the cravings you have to stop   eating food or drinks that spike your blood sugar. Your blood sugar will normally increase when you eat, but you want the increase to   be slow and gradual. We know that sweet foods or sweet drinks will  spike your blood sugar, but now science says that wheat flour also  will spike your sugar levels. And what's so bad about that,you might ask. 

I'll explain as if you're looking at a graph. If a normal blood sugar is below 5.6 and you eat ice cream and your blood sugar spike to 8, and your body is working normally, your blood sugar will drop 
rapidly to say 4 because the affects of the sugar won't last very 
long, but now your below your normal level and your body will 
trigger another craving to get you back up to your normal level of
5.6. Now these numbers are just numbers and if your concerned about your level you want to see your Doctor and get a blood test.      

When your overweight it's important to have regular checkups that include blood tests. High blood sugar levels are a serious problem. 

But let's get back to cravings, people who snack a lot often don't  understand why, and snacks put on the weight. It can be caused from your blood sugar or glucose levels spiking and dropping, so that you keep creating the cravings for more food. So we know sugary foods  
will spike glucose levels and now science thinks that wheat flour   can do the same. Wheat flour is in almost any bakery goods. Bread,  cakes, donuts anything that comes from a bakery. Now you might think because you don't eat wheat bread that your safe. All processed    flour is made from wheat flour or partial wheat flour. You want to  start reading the labels and avoid foods with processed flour. 

Ever wonder why gluten-free is so popular now. Gluten-free means    there's no wheat flour or any wheat in that food. Read the label on gluten-free bread and you find it's made of rice flour. Gluten-free products will help you control the spike in you blood sugar. You can buy gluten-free bagels, pasta and bread at any of the major grocerychains. So gluten-free will help you control you weight and avoiding sugary foods and drinks will also help cut your calories.
