Ever wondered why, despite your BEST EFFORTS, you can't seem to lose that stubborn fat around your belly, hips and thighs?
Fitness Expert Tina Sprinkle and Dr Alicia Johnson, ND as they explain the relationship between sugar, stress, hormones as weight gain (or loss!) For more information, http://Pilates1901.com
9. A staggering 69.2% of adults
age 20 years and over are
overweight or obese in this
country.
10. The rate of
childhood obesity
in this country has
more than
doubled in
children and
tripled in
adolescents in the
past 30 years.

13. In the late 70’s there was a
mandate to cut fat
consumption in this
country.
We did, but replaced the
same total calories with
sugar…

18. • A normal cell is covered with
receptors for sugar
• The “receptor” is basically
just a shuttle that allows
sugar to go in
• When the sugar goes into
the cell, our body uses it for
energy
• Insulin acts like a key to open
that shuttle
• When you eat sugar, you
release a small amount of
insulin
• That small amount of insulin
helps your body move the
sugar from your blood into
your cell’s powerhouse to
use as energy
19. When things go wrong
• If you eat a whole lot of
glucose, your body instantly
recognizes this as an
emergency
• Insulin spikes to use as
much glucose as possible in
the cells
• You can’t use all of it, so the
rest gets packaged as
triglycerides (cholesterol)
and stored as fat as quickly
as possible.
• Your body has effectively
switched to storage mode
• If this happens too often,
the insulin stops unlocking
the shuttle and you just
store

The fact is we have a weight epidemic in our country. In the past 30 years, we have seen an explosion in obesity in this country that is now spreading across the world.
The CDC says that a whopping 69% of adults are obese or overweight in this country. And those rates are expected to rise in the future.
Further the rate of fat children has nearly doubled in the past 30 years and it’s nearly tripled for adolescents in the same period! The percentage of obese kids went from 7% in 1980 to 18% in 2010. And the percentage of fat adolescence rose from 5% to 18% over the same period
The rise in diabetes is staggering, rising from 30 million to 346 million people since 1985. That means 1 in 12 Americans now have some form of diabetes and many of these new diagnoses are children.
Does this that we are just eating more calories overall? With the easy access to food and calories, you might think this is the case. But it’s not. The total number of calories we are eating is only up 8% since 1985 so that would not justify the sharp rise in obesity and diabetes
So what’s going on? By the mid 1970s, dietary fats were blamed for heart disease, giving rise to the "low-fat craze."
Market response was an explosion of processed convenience foods, all nonfat and low fat, most of which tasted like sawdust unless sugar was added. Fructose was used to make fat-free products more palatable.
In 1982, the American Heart Association (AHA), the American Medical Association (AMA), and the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA) reduced fats from 40 percent of your diet to 30 percent.
And we eagerly complied, believing you were lowering your risks for both obesity and cardiovascular disease.
The problem was what we began replacing it with. Sugar, High fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and trans fats. That and they’ve since found that not all fats are bad for us.
Of all the sources of ready sugar, sodas, sports drinks, and even purportedly healthy meal supplements (ensure) are loaded with sugar. When you drink 20 0z of regular coco cola, you are consuming 65 grams of sugar… and that’s not even considered a Big Gulp which is 44 ounces! Ensure, the meal replacement drink marketed as healthy to older adults contains up to 23 grams of sugar in an 8 ounce serving!
An estimated 47 million americans have metabolic syndrome. That’s one in five americans! In general, a person who has metabolic syndrome is twice as likely to develop heart disease and five times as likely to develop diabetes as someone who doesn't have metabolic syndrome.
The risk of having metabolic syndrome is closely linked to overweight and obesityand a lack of physical activity. Insulin resistance  But there are people who look thin as well that can develop metabolic syndrome as well.
This "insulin resistance" may occur because, along with excess sweets and refined carbohydrates, an unhealthy diet is also frequently deficient in the nutrients necessary to support healthy cell membranes, insulin receptors and a strong insulin signal. Insulin Resistance can lead to…
Â
* Diabetes* Heart disease* High blood pressure* Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)* Hyperlipidemia (high triglycerides and high cholesterol)* Polycystic ovary syndrome* Obesity.
 Â
Some insulin resistance symptoms are:
Â
* Acne* Apple-shaped obesity* Difficulty with weight loss* High blood pressure* Sugar or carbohydrate cravings.
Unhealthy insulin receptors can result in poor binding of insulin and, in concert with other factors, a diminished insulin signal, thereby reducing sugar delivery into the cell.
Sugar addiction is a vicious cycle. We eat sugar and then we have a sugar crash and we crave it all over again. If we’re eating junk food on top of that as our source of food, we’re also starving nutritionally. We’re hungry all the time because we’re nutritionally bankrupt and starving!
