The Devil in Disguise

So why no sugar substitutes?  Take for instance the dilemma of the diet soda.  Most diet sodas are calorie and carb free, caffinated, sweet and totally delicious (this can be debated).  At first glance, this sounds Zone perfect and a great alternative to that nasty water-stuff. 

Let's start with a very basic principle of the Zone – hormone regulation.  One of the primary benefits of Zoning is the hormone regulation that results from eating a low-glycemic balanced meal.  By controlling your carbohydrate intake and monitoring the glycemic impact of your carb choices, you limit the amount of insulin released by your pancreas.  This maintains a neutral to favorable insulin sensitivity (as opposed to insulin resistance) and circumvents excess carb storage as fat.

Enter the sweetner.  Sweetners are just that – sweet.  When your tongue tastes something sweet entering the mouth, it talks to the brain (specifically the hypothalamus) and says "Hey, here comes energy!"  The brain then says to the pancreas "Yo, dump some insulin because here comes glucose!"  And there it is – a big insulin dump, but all for nothing.  The body is now very confused and unable to effectively regulate insulin and all because of artificial sweetners.

CrossFit Parker opens today!

Our friends Ryan and Kyla are opening their doors today.  They are having a free WOD at 10am for anyone that's interested with BBQ afterwards.  Let's get some people together and represent!  Check out their site for location info.  Of course, this would be an excellent opportunity to refer-a-friend in the Parker area.  Ryan has headed up CrossFit Parker Fire for several years, so they aren't new to the game.  Post to comments if you'll be attending.
