There is one common "all natural" food that is hidden in just about everything you eat. And unless you know about this food and eliminate it from your diet, it will make it almost impossible for you to lose weight, and especially that weight that accumulates around the middle as belly fat or love handles.
That food is High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).
You've probably seen the "Sweet Surprise" ads saying corn syrup is wonderful, all natural and doesn't cause weight gain. What those ads don't tell you is that when you consume high fructose corn syrup, your body doesn't register that you've eaten anything, so it doesn't allay your hunger at all - it actually makes you hungrier. How does it do that?
HFCS actually inhibits secretion of two hormones called leptin, which is a fat burning hormone, and gherin, which tells your body that you have eaten and you are full. So it encourages your body to store fat and it makes you hungry!
HFCS isn't natural at all. HFCS is created by chemically bonding fructose and glucose molecules together. Caustic soda and hydrochloric acid are only two of the chemicals used to produce HFCS. The production process leaves traces of mercury in HFCS.
Sadly, HFCS is hidden in virtually all processed foods. It might not be too surprising to see it is used in foods that are sweet such as snacks, cookies, pastries, fruit juice drinks, and sodas. But it in foods you wouldn't expect - bread, lunch meat, condiments, diet products, just about everything.
When I decided to cut HFCS out of my diet, not only did I lose weight. I specifically lost a lot of belly fat. Belly fat that I'd been trying to get rid of for years! I noticed I wasn't hungry all the time like I used to be. I experienced what some experts say - that eating high fructose corn syrup makes you hungrier.
f high fructose corn syrup is so bad for us, why is it in everything we eat? The main reason is that it is inexpensive. Not only is it cheap to produce but corn farmers receive government subsidies encouraging them to grow corn for its production.
There have been studies showing that the time Americans really started getting fat correlated with the time that high fructose corn syrup was introduced, in the late 1970's.
An interesting aside, did you know there is a black market for Mexican Coke? That's right, Coke as in Coca Cola. They still sweeten it with sugar there, so some people from the states bring it back from Mexico so they can drink "the real thing".
So why not try eliminating high fructose corn syrup from your diet and see what happens. You may find you start lose weight and start to get rid of belly fat or love handles by just making this change to your diet.
