Stevia Sweetner - Sweet without Harm

If you have ever read anything on subject of healthy nutrition then you know that there most of the stuff is debatable. One author says this another something different, but there is one truth that no one can dispute (ok some lunatic can, but he would be barking mad) and that is that sugar is bad or more accurately that raising insulin levels is bad for your health.

Sure you raise your insulin levels whenever eating a piece of fruit or vegetable, but problem is in bagels, table sugar, soft drinks, they all raise insulin levels too much, way too much.
So if you all know this but still love your coffee sweet and can't hack bitter taste, or like cakes which by definition must be sweet otherwise they taste like well sh..t, you should try Stevia based sweeteners.



Stevia is a plant which mostly grows in tropical regions and is used to produce sweetener that is 300 times more sweet than table sugar but contains nothing that will elevate your insulin levels, in other words it is diabetic safe and good even if you wan't to reduce weight or just care for your health.
You can use it instead of sugar in your coffee, or in making cakes, just be careful since it is 300 times more powerful than sugar, only small quantities are needed, you don't want't your coffee too sweet :).

I have recently bought my stevia sweetener from manufacturer Kal and I am loving it/

Here are some excerpts from wikipedia.
In relation to diabetes, studies have shown stevia to have a revitalizing effect on β-cells of pancreas,[10] improve insulin sensitivity in rats,[50] and possibly even to promote additional insulin production,[51] helping to reverse diabetes and metabolic syndrome.[52] Stevia consumed before meals significantly reduced postprandial insulin levels compared to bothaspartame and sucrose.[53] A 2011 review study concluded that stevia sweeteners would likely benefit diabetic patients

PALEO Diet

Excellent way to eat without worrying about calories. Yes without counting calories :)
Only catch is that there is no pasta, sugar, bread, cookies, chocolate, grains  :) but if you want to feel full of energy get a six pack or lose some fat, gain muscle, improve health, beat diabetes this is for you.

Base of this theory is that our metabolism didn't change much from days of when humans were hunters and gatherers (only way to get some food in days of dinosaurs :)) but what is interesting that these cave men weren't plagued by modern day diseases, in fact they were much healthier then we are today. They didn't live long but they didn't die from stroke, cancer, heart failure, they died from animal attacks from cold, but they were quite healthy, and since of agricultural revolution or start of grain cultivation there is more and more of cancer, heart problems, obesity,...

One thing that could attract is that cave men were muscular with low body fat, who doesn't want that kind of body !

I am a big fan of Zone Diet by Barry Sears and Paleo Diet would be just as good, Zone diet is good but you need to count blocks of foods (weight), Paleo allows you to eat without that kind of worries, just remember not to over stuff yourself with food.

Here is a great web page where you can get lots of info for free http://www.robbwolf.com/

Have a nice Paleo day.
