Sugar makes you gain the worst kind of fat

When you eat more sugar than your liver can handle, the liver turns the excess into fat. Some of this fat lodges in the arterial walls, increasing your risk of heart disease, while the rest accumulates inside liver cells, making your liver inflamed. This condition causes insulin levels to rise, which drives up blood pressure and increases your risk for pancreatic burnout and diabetes, premature aging problems and cancer.

Starting this week, develop the habit of eliminating refined sugar from your diet. The following are some steps to help you achieve this goal:

• Retrain your taste buds - Over time, you can retrain your taste buds not to like refined sugar. Get rid of sugar-free juices, soda pops and treats which cause you to crave refined sugar. Start retraining your taste buds to enjoy the natural sweetness of fruits and vegetables.
  

• Drink the Master Juice for breakfast - Prepare and drink the Master Juice for your daily breakfast. See Appendix B of the Mastermoves Jump Start to Success manual.
  

• Drink sugar-free - Don't put refined sugar in your drinks. If necessary, substitute in moderation with raw honey or raw cane sugar.
  

• Eliminate sugar products in your kitchen - Resist the temptation to indulge by getting rid of products such as candy, cookies, cakes, soda pops, processed foods and so-called "diet" products.
  

• Eat fruits - Apples, pears, berries and citrus foods are lower in simple sugars and calories. Citrus fruits and apples, in particular, help your body burn fat. The more whole fruit you eat, the less processed sugar you will crave. Fiber in fruit is filling and dampens food cravings.
  

• Enjoy treat meals - Good nutrition takes dedication, but it shouldn't mean you can't treat yourself once in a while. Be flexible after Week 2; if you feel the need for a sweet treat once in a while, allow yourself in moderation.
  

Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. You need to replace bad habit of eating process food with the good habit of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Good habits or bad habits, your habits determine your character, and your character fixes your destiny. Stop eating sugary foods and start eating an apple a day. Apples are packed with vitamins C, A, and flavonoids and with smaller amounts of phosphorus, iron and calcium. Apples provide a source of potassium which may promote heart health. If you learn to sugary food with fruits, then even a small effort can create big changes. The Core Challenge is designed to make sure Best Practices are as consistent as possible and are repeated every day for 100 days.
