It’s true what they say.
Life is about the little things.
Eating over years and decades is like little drips becoming rivers in our bodies.
Take the odd treat.
The odd treat of banana bread that you’ve had once or twice a week for decades.
Or it could be those few rice cakes, crackers, beers or bananas over decades.
They add up.
Take this sliver of banana bread.
It’s equivalent to 12, yep 12 teaspoons of sugar.
And if you say ‘I’ll just run it off, count my steps or move more’?
Sorry, this is a dietitian/dietary dinosaur myth.
I’d estimate to run off those 12 spoons would require a minimum of 2 hours of moderate jogging to even start to run off.
And the fine-print about exercise and weight-loss? (that your dietitian, exercise physiologist, diabetes educator or personal trainer fail to mention?)
If your insulin levels or blood sugars are just minutely elevated a few hours after meals?
Weight-loss (or fat-loss) is impossible.
So yes, you might be seeing your dietitian on a subsidised chronic-disease health-plan.
But your chances of ‘getting better’ are minuscule.
If you really want answers to minimise diabetes/reverse it, reduce dementia and heart disease risk, and know how to minimise prostate and breast cancer?
Book it to have a chat.
Along the way I’ll help improve your reflux, blood pressure, gout, skin, bloating, fatigue and brain-fog 😊
