Why Sugar Makes You Sleepy

There is a reason protein has been called the “food of the gods.” Proteins, such as beef, pork, lamb, turkey, chicken, fish, and select protein powders, contain the amino acid tyrosine, a precursor of norepinephrine and dopamine. Eating more of this amino acid causes increased production of these two very powerful chemical neurotransmitters produce increased alertness in the mind and body.

Eating protein also keeps your blood sugar level steady, your energy level high, and helps you to burn more blubberuski, which keeps you from becoming a Lardassian, and a menace to your own health.

When you eat protein with vegetables, that carry a low glycemic load, such as spinach, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, broccoli rabe, kale, or other greens, even green beans, you are complementing the protein you are taking into your system with complex carbohydrtaes and giving yourself a very real energy boost.

You are also activating the fat burning system in your body.

When you eat a lot of crapola, such as pasta, bread, almost all cereals, rice, taters, and such…you are taking your body on a…downer…man. The effect is the same as if you were taking a sleep inducing drug.

Why?

The crapola, though it has a thousand different names, is seen by your body as one specific thing: SUGAR.

This makes it very easy to process, which in your case, is not a good thing at all. The faster the crapola is processed, the faster your body is releasing sugar into your system, and the faster your body has to release massive amounts of insulin, to keep up. Insulin takes the sugar and sends it to your liver, fat, and muscle cells, which are already full, so all the excess is stored as…FAT. All that sugar clearing, and storing, causes the body and mind to be very sluggish and lethargic.

AND THEN…AND THEN…your body sends out a very bad signal.  I’M HUNGRY! I’M HUNGRY! I MUST EAT NOW!

This is “The Lardassian Cycle” (newly named by yours truly.)

So you eat poorly…which triggers a cycle, in which you continue to eat poorly…and your body is constantly sending out wacky signals that make you fat. Or fatter.

You have to get control of your diet…and stop The Lardassian Cycle. The only way you can do that is by eating wholesome food, which is food that is not prepackaged, or in a container. The consumption of real food steadies your blood sugar and insulin response, and keeps you bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Taking my Powerhouse Omega Formula also keeps your mind and body in harmony and balance. It also triggers your body’s fat burning mechanisms, and “oils up” your joints and sockets, so that you can do some exercise, which everyone needs, but not enough of us get.

And if you need that extra shove, if your body still isn’t responding, as well as it should, to wholesome food and exercise, my Heart Charging Formula could be just the ticket. My first class CoQ10 is superb at putting the zip back where it belongs (and if you’re taking any kind of drug to reduce your cholesterol, this is an absolute must).

Anti-cholesterol drugs lower cholesterol, but they also remove vital nutrients from your body that you absolutely need, to function at a high level. They won’t tell you this in the cardiologist’s office.
