Eat cake or cookies with breakfast to lose weight, study suggests

"Typically carbohydrate is 100 percent converted to sugar within an hour in the body, causing your blood glucose to spike and then crash quickly, leading to increased hunger," Murray told HealthPop in an email. "The addition of protein-enriched foods slows this process down, reduces the feeling of hunger, which in turn can help individuals from snacking in response to sugar crashes."

Smith says, "I definitely wouldn't recommend to my patients to start eating dessert to breakfast."

Sorry to disappoint those who thought cake or cookies for breakfast is a good idea. ;)

Are you scared of fat?

Saw this video today. Love this dietitians fear of fat. Dietitians in Sweden are the same. Still live in a world were fat is the demise of mankind. People cut down on fat, yet obesity is going up. Time to wake up and smell the coffee?

According to this woman you should not eat: meat, fat, sugar, white flour and pasta or "anything that spikes your blood sugar." So what should you eat?

Love that woman at 2:28.

"Is it possible to eat healthy when you live a life on the go? Please don´t tell me to pack snacks or my own lunch, because I know that´s not gonna happen."

Oatmeal healthy? If you like high blood sugar.

Oatmeal = Tons of carbs (52% carbs)
Tons of carbs = Raised blood sugar
High blood sugar = Insulin production
Insulin = Prevents fat burn
Insulin = Instrumental in fat storage
Insulin = Falling blood sugar
Falling blood sugar = Hunger
Hunger = Eat more
Eat more = Overeating
Overeating = Obesity

Simply put. ;)

I meet a lot of people eating oatmeal believing it is healthy. I am from Sweden and we have a long, long tradition of oatmeal.

The grain industry has been sponsoring Swedish athletes for a very long time.

Apparently, kids who get into sports get a brochure, from sponsored by one of the biggest grain producers, AXA in Sweden, loaded with propaganda about how athletes must eat a lot of carbohydrates. If nothing else the AXA executives can afford new Beamers.

Fortunately there are more and more athletes breaking away from traditional diets. One of the main reasons being, that top athletes get sick a lot. Björn Ferry, who won a gold in Vancouver, is on a low carb diet. No oatmeal whatsoever for him.

I now no longer recommend any oat product due to its blood sugar-increasing effects.
