We now know all that lemonade is one of the most unhealthy beverages at all … the bad chemicals, the thick-inducing fructose syrup and all the other innumerable diseases that cause the carbonated drinks that are cheered by people who are not their health and their body care.

I know that you care about your health and your body. Surprisingly, some people mistakenly believe that “diet drinks” in principle are good if you want to remove healthy. I keep hearing people say how healthy they eat and that they only diet drinks.

So, here are the facts:

There is absolutely nothing healthy mind to drink diet soda. I’ve even seen some studies that report that people drink, the lemonade diet, often even soft drink as such, the normal lemonade.

There are some elements that show us side effects

One reason is the artificial sweeteners that cause a negative hormonal response and thus promotes fat storage. It also promotes the desire for more sweets and refined carbohydrates, after taking the diet beverage.

Another reason that people think subconsciously, that they can save calories and so something else is able to commit. In the end, they consume even more calories.

I say this really the whole time. The fact is, if they serious about your health and your body – slimmer tummy! – Interested, they need to avoid soft drinks in whatever way (artificially sweetened). Only in exceptional cases, if you can not avoid it can, this is allowed.

Diet Recipes: What is the alternative to diet soda?

The best alternative is the best water with lemon or unsweetened iced tea. It is a lot of alternatives at the tea;green, white. black oloong red. Be creative and make your own iced tea. In addition, you can get as even more different antioxidants.

An old rule called the 421 LPG determines the distribution of calorie intake for the day as follows: 4 carb diets for 2 portions of protein and 1 portion of fat which gives clear approximately 60% carbohydrates, 25% for protein and 15% for lipids.

Apply this rule would be virtually impossible daily (need to weigh everything you eat and know the exact composition) and quickly transform a meal into a problem of arithmetic! … But the key lies elsewhere: Just remember the principle.

Carbohydrate / sugar fast

Simply put, there are two categories of sugars:
* slow sugars or complex: it is all foods from cereals (rice, pasta, bread, but also potatoes and pulses) that slowly raise the rate of blood sugar (glucose).

Advantage: These foods should be consumed at almost every meal in order to replenish the glycogen (muscle fuel is also stored in the liver), used to hold long efforts.

*the quick or simple sugars: these are the very foods taste sweet: cakes, candy, sodas, sugar cubes (sucrose), etc. … these are foods that quickly raise blood sugar.

Advantage: consumed in an effort throughout the short, fast sugars can obtain an effect “boost” that minimizes fatigue temporarily.

Disadvantages: avoid eating these foods before exercise or face a reactive hypoglycaemia (the elevation of blood sugar is balanced by a sudden drop).
On the other hand, consumed in excess of these sugars have a tendency to become fat.
