Lost Fit

Are you growing up or growing out? Loss the ability to fit into all the beautiful you have bought through the years?

Many people and websites will introduce you to 'Low Carbo diet' or even the 'Anti Carbo diet' which was said to help low weight, without really knowing the reason why! Some people may even introduce you to the 'Meat and Vegetables diet', 'No salt diet' or 'Eating less than 3 meals a day'! Yes they may provide you with temporary solutions that make you loss 'weigh' and 'water', which will cause your body to suffer later. This is why very often, these diets will have an after effect of weigh re-bounce or even becoming heavier!

If you are looking for ways to fit into those dresses and jeans again, you need to first understand your body and the digestive system! The very obvious thing you should do is to EXERCISE! However, knowing the busy-ness of life, to some people, eating right is the best you can do. So let us go through our digestive process together:
Mouth
Fats --> one molecule of fats will result into 3 fatty acid molecule and one molecule of glycerol, that can only be adsorbed at small intestine
Starch (Carbohydrate) --> simple suger, glucose and maltose, that can only be adsorbed at small intestine
Stomach
Protein, vitamin B-12, alcohol and smaller molecules --> breakdown and adsorbed at the stomach
Small intestine
Fats, nutrients and sugar --> breakdown and adsorbed at small intestine
Large intestine
Water, fiber and fluid --> adsorbed or passed out at large intestine

Our body adsorbs protein and things of smaller molecules before the absorption of fats and carbohydrate. Carbohydrate are broken down into sugar molecules while fats molecules are broken down into 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 molecule of glycerol. This means that, to have high intake of fats and carbohydrates will slow down our digestion in the stomach because it adds on to the workload of our stomach and will take a longer time to fully digest our food. Carbohydrates can also result in high sugar level in blood leading to diabetes. However, your focus should not be just cutting down on carbohydrates because it provides us with the energy we need. Instead we should be looking into food that are high in protein and fiber to help increase our digestion and give our stomach a light workload!
