Some American fad diets demonize carbohydrates; sugars and starches.
They either severely restrict or totally eliminate refined carbohydrates, primarily refine white flour and sugar, but also starchy white potatoes and rice.
Why should Americans eliminate refined carbs when billions of people around the world rely on them for their major source of glucose?
The answer is simple, it is easier to ask dieters to give up carbohydrate rich foods instead of educating them about how they can enjoy these foods (cakes, cookies, pies, pastries and more) and still loose weight.
Part Two of this two part series looks at:
- What is considered normal and high blood glucose
- How prepared & restaurant foods not only provide too many calories they provide too many refined carb calories
A diet high in refined carbohydrates can cause blood glucose spikes, insulin resistance, and type-2 diabetes.

Zero Calorie Foods Video

Many websites have eye-catching banner ads with diet and nutrition claims like:
“5 Foods You Should Never Eat”
“Zero Calorie Foods”
“Negative Calorie Foods”
“Belly Fat Busting Foods”
The real purpose of these ads is to get you to click on the ad taking you to another website trying to sell you dietary supplements or a diet plan.
One website had a 30 minute video sales pitch to had to watch before you found out what 5 foods you should never eat.
Usually there is very little if any credible scientific information backing up the claims.
This video reviews some of the foods typically listed as having zero or negative calories. Most are fruits and vegetables that are very low in calories. Some provide almost no calories when eaten in small quantities while others were nowhere near providing calories.

700 Calorie Thanksgiving Dinner

With Thanksgiving Day about a month away, people will be taking about Thanksgiving dinner and how many Americans add 5 to 10 pounds during the holidays that are almost impossible to lose after the festivities are over.
Excluding, breakfast, lunch, beverages and snacks, the average turkey dinner is between 2,000 and 2,500 calories before you go for a second helping. Considering most people need between 1,700 and 2,500 calories to maintain a healthy weight, you can gain up to a pound on Thanksgiving Day.
The sample meal pictured is a generous 22 ounces of food providing 880 calories. Omitting the dinner roll saves 100 calories. Buttering the roll adds about 30 calories.
The stuffing provides the most calories at 265. Decreasing the stuffing and increased the vegetables (not mashed potatoes) can shave 100 calories from this meal.
Even if you eat the meal as shown, it still provides fewer calories than a “traditional Thanksgiving” turkey dinner after subtracting pumpkin and pecan pie calories.
Twenty-two ounces of food is more than most frozen dinners. Reduce portion sizes to equal a 16 ounce frozen turkey dinner and total calories drop from 880 to 640.
You also significantly reduce chemical additives.
