GOOD NIGHT FITNESS FRIENDS! Here is one last fact to ponder on tonight!:) FACTS: If you are finding yourself bingeing at night, chances are you are not eating anywhere near enough GOOD calories during the day. You gain weight when you consume more calories than your body burns. And yet, not all calories are the same. Its really the good carb/bad carb distinction. Bad carbohydrates (refined simple sugars) are rapidly digested and absorbed into the bloodstream. If there is a high concentration of blood sugars, then [the excess sugars] can be STORED AS FAT. The fiber in good carbohydrates helps slow down the rate of digestion, controlling blood sugar levels, which results in a longer window of time during which the body can burn the calories from those good carbohydrates before the excess is stored as fat. Eat more complex carbohydrates -- fruits, vegetables and whole grains -- and try to avoid simple sugars like candy and soda and any of the white foods like regular pasta, potatoes and bread. Rapid digestion of simple carbohydrates can make you feel tired and can mess with your appetite control regulation. That cant be good for those of us who already feel like our appetites are out of control.
