TAP INTO THE POWER OF FOODS AND KEEP SATISFIED

Here is the answer you have been looking for as you add healthy years to your life and life to your years, with a deeper sense of satisfaction, according to Rob Thompson, M.D.

Sugar Blocker No. 1: Have a fatty snack 10 to 30 minutes before your meal. It must be eaten before you eat your meal. The pyloric valve regulates the speed at which food leaves the stomach and enters the bloodstream. A handful of nuts or a piece of cheese will do the trick.

Sugar Blocker No. 2 Start your meal with a salad. It soaks up starch and fibre before you eat a starch.

Sugar blocker No. 3. Have some vinegar - most salad dressings have some type of vinegar with it.

Sugar Blocker No. 4. Put some Muscle Behind it. A waist size 35 for women and 40 for men, exercise helps.

Sugar Blocker No. 5. Include protein with your meal to blunt insulin spikes. Even though protein contains no glucose, it triggers a "first phase" insulin response.

Sugar Blocker No. 6. Eat lightly cooked vegetables.
