Apple cider vinegar
Numerous peer-reviewed studies
have looked at the blood sugar, carbohydrate, and insulin management effects
of consuming apple cider vinegar before and/or after a meal.
For example, one study showed a 19% decrease in blood sugar levels when consuming 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar after a high carbohydrate meal. Another study in which participants consumed 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed resulted in their morning fasting blood sugar levels decreasing by 4%. But what are the actual results of apple cider (ACV) vinegar on fatloss? Well, there has only been one study conducted looking at ACV and weightloss directly, that being a 175-participant study conducted in Japan. In the study, 175 obese but otherwise healthy individuals consumed either ACV or water daily for 12 weeks. At the end of the study period, the ACV group lost 1 - 2 pounds each while the water group lost no weight. Unfortunately, the AVC group gained the small loss back shortly after the study period. I don't know about you, but downing vinegar daily to experience a 1 - 2 pound loss over a 3 month period, only to gain it right back, doesn't sound like an effective weight management strategy to me! If you're in agreement, you'll be happy to know that at the link below we're going to show you our #1 carb-fighting trick that you can use each and every time you eat carbs (that actually works). This simple carb-fighting "ritual" is shown through peer-reviewed research to: *Lower your blood sugar *Increase insulin sensitivity *Decrease fat storage *Increase fat burning Even better, there's no vinegar required, you can perform it in just a few seconds, and again, it actually WORKS! ==> Do THIS before eating carbs (every time) To your success, Head Nutrition Coach, BioTrust Nutrition |
Leeks - Did you know?
With their unique combination of flavonoids and sulfur-containing nutrients, the allium vegetables belong in your diet on a regular basis. There's research evidence for including at least one serving of an allium vegetable in your meal plan every day. If you're choosing leeks, make your individual portion 1/2 cup or greater, and try to include at least one cup of chopped leeks in your recipes. Many people are unfamiliar with how to cook leeks or how to include them in a Healthiest Way of Eating. We recommend cutting them very thinly and preparing them by using our Healthy Sauté method of cooking. Like their allium cousins, onions and garlic, let leeks sit for at least 5 minutes after cutting and before cooking. Our Tips for Preparing and Cooking and How to Enjoy sections below will give you more details on the best ways to bring leeks into your meal plan.
