HEALTH DANGERS OF EATING THE WRONG FOOD..

Many people don't know that eating too much sugar, refined carbohydrates and processed foods can lead to:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Sleep Apnea
• Depression
• And even some kinds of cancer.

And refined carbohydrates like sugar and white flour can rob our bodies - and our children's bodies - of important nutrients like calcium and fat-soluble vitamins that help build strong bones and nervous systems.

Nobody wants to be overweight, and no parent wants to feed their kids in a way that will make them another statistic in the childhood obesity and diabetes epidemic...

But how can you lose weight and eat right if you always feel hungry?

Even worse - what if you're one of those folks who actually gain weight even when you eat less food than your thin friends do? Did you know that many people put on weight even when they eat a low-calorie diet?

Most people think that everyone who is overweight got that way by overeating, but scientists know that isn't true.

Control Your Appetite Naturally

Some of us (and I'm one of them) have a genetically-inherited tendency to process our food differently from other people. When we eat refined carbohydrates they turn almost immediately to fat.

The reason why we gain weight easier than other people is a condition called insulin resistance, which makes us store more fat. Insulin resistance is the precursor to diabetes, and can also cause other illnesses like heart disease, gout, some kinds of arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, and more.

There are some people in the world who can eat sugar and other refined carbs without getting insulin resistance, so they don't have to worry about getting fat, and they probably won't get heart disease. I'm not one of those people, and if you have strong cravings for sugar and chips and ice cream, you probably aren't one of the lucky ones, either.

Unfortunately, the people who are most prone to insulin resistance are the folks who have strong cravings for the foods that will do the most damage to our health - refined carbohydrates like sugar, pastries, noodles and desserts.

I recently found out something that made me mad...

Back in 1917, and again in 1945, studies were done to find out what happened when people went on a low-calorie diet.

The study volunteers actually ate more calories than the kind of diet that almost every doctor tells you to go on when he thinks you're overweight, and they certainly ate way more calories than you get on most fad diets, like the cabbage soup diet and the 3-day diet.

You'll see why I got mad when you see what scientists have known for over 91 years - that low-calorie and low-fat diets actually cause the following health problems:

• Weight gain.
• Depression.
• Food cravings.
• Feeling tired and listless.
• Constant hunger.
• Reduced interest in sex.
• Chronic fatigue.
• Hypothyroidism.
• Hormone imbalance.
• Scaly skin or eczema.
• Premature wrinkling of the skin.
• Dandruff or dull, lifeless hair.
• Mood swings.
• Chronic yeast infections.
• Poor immune system - frequent colds or respiratory illnesses.
• Digestive problems such as irritable bowl syndrome or Crohn's disease.
• Insulin resistance.
