What is the
Glycemic Index?
The Glycemic Index (GI) is one the best
tools for fat loss. It measures how quickly foods breakdown into sugar in your bloodstream. High glycemic foods turn into blood sugar
very quickly. Starchy foods like potatoes are a good example. Potatoes have such a high GI rating; its almost
the same as eating table sugar.
What is
the Glycemic Load
(GL)?
The GI tells you how fast foods spike your blood sugar. But the GI won’t
tell you how much carbohydrate per serving you’re getting. That’s where the Glycemic Load is a great help. It measures
the amount of carbohydrate in each service of food. Foods with a glycemic load under 10 are good
choices—these foods should be your first choice for carbs. Foods that fall between 10 and 20 on
the glycemic load scale
have a moderate affect on your blood sugar. Foods with a glycemic load above 20 will cause
blood sugar and insulin spikes. Try to eat those foods sparingly.

Dr. SEARS' TIPS:
Follow these tips for Fat Busting Meals:
- Avoid grains, including corn
- Avoid potatoes and other white foods, like white rice, sugar and salt.
- Try making protein the focus of each meal. It kicks your metabolism into higher gear.
All meats, fish and poultry are the real “guilt-free” foods. The protein will help you handle insulin better,
build muscle and repair tissue-all essential for staying lean and preventing diabetes.
- Snack on nuts and seeds. They are a good source of protein and have Omega
3’s.
- Avoid processed foods, trans fats, caffeine, and high fructose corn syrup. All
increase insulin resistance.
- Choose vegetables that are low glycemic.
- Choose fruits such as berries and fruits you can eat with the skin on.
- Eat a high protein breakfast every morning. It will stabilize your blood sugar and
get you off to a good start.

program. Your physician should be aware of all medical conditions that you may have, as well as any medication
and supplements you are taking. Those of you on diuretics or diabetes medication should proceed only under a
doctor's supervision (You may also read our page "Obesity related diseases - Diabetes and diabesity" - click on the

the guidance of their physician.
People seeking for fast weight loss, sometimes forget about their individual, very specific medical status and, in
the hope of getting a one-fits-all solution type miracle pills, start taking the ultimate weight loss
supplement.
The aim of this website is to help you along your way with proven and trusted programs and products.
You deserve the best as your health, the quality of your entire future is at stake. This statement may sound a bit
exaggerated, but it’s not. Too few people realise the hidden risks (the silent killers) that come with obesity and
overweight. It’s not their fault. Despite information overload millions live without basic knowledge.
Weight loss is doable. However, in most of the cases it requires more than a weight loss pill. You need a
high-quality weight loss program, proper exercise advice and important daily supplements (for example, a good
multivitamin).
