Are You Struggling with Your Weight? Food Sensitivities Just Might be the Culprit…
While it is generally postulated that calories in
minus calories burned should determine weight, this overly simple equation leaves many factors out. Not all calories are created equal. On face, that may seem puzzling, but different foods have the ability to trigger the release of certain hormones, as well as to trigger different immune reactions, and the consequences of these biological mediators released secondary to foods eaten all play a
role in weight gain. The fact that different foods, based on our body’s reactions to them,
will release different mediators, means not all calories are created equal. This is the rational
beyond diets that are low in carbohydrates. Even if you portioned food so that the calories
from a portion of cake was equal to the calories from broccoli, there would still be higher
carbohydrates in the cake, as well as less fiber. This means the cake will trigger a release of
insulin, where as the broccoli does not. Insulin tells the body to store fat. This means even
though the calories are the same the end result is not. This is one of many reasons that calories
are not the only cause of weight gain. Food sensitivities, like carbohydrates, will be another
reason for weight gain. It is not just calories.
