Men's weight reduction: it's a sensitive problem for many men. If you're like many men, you're fighting to keep your weight in balance. It's fine though, because once you understand these simple tips, you'll find that it's less of a challenge to shed weight than you thought.  Men's Fat Reduction Rule one - Keep Glucose Levels Constant  One of the main factors behind fat gain is fluctuations in glucose levels. Whenever you eat an excessive amount of fast-releasing foods, the body secretes too much sugar directly into your bloodstream. This leads the pancreas to secrete the hormone insulin, which removes the surplus sugars out of your blood stream and saves it in tissues as glycogen. If this temporary energy is not used up soon after, it becomes converted into fat.  The two ways in which you can keep your blood sugar levels stable. The first is to consume little and often. A different way is to consume food which is slow release. This consists of ...

Myth: "High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is worse for you than sugar" High-fructose corn syrup was created to mimic sucrose (table sugar), so its composition is almost identical to sucrose's (55 percent fructose 45 percent glucose; with sucrose the ratio is 50:50). Calorie-wise, it's a dead ringer for sucrose. And in studies that compare the effects of HFCS with other sweeteners, HFCS and sucrose have very similar effects on blood levels of insulin, glucose, triglycerides and satiety hormones. In short, it seems to be no worse--but also no better--than sucrose, or table sugar. Epidemiological studies show that consuming large amounts of added sweeteners--primarily in sodas and other sweetened drinks--is associated with greater risk of fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. And it's not just the extra calories they provide that may be hurting us; research by Stanhope and others suggests that fructose itself in added sugars ...
