Sugar Free Diet designed by Houston Cardiologist

Sugar free diets promote weight loss and proper blood sugar levels. A Houston sugar free diet plan should eliminate all sweets made with refined sugar and certain fruits and vegetables with a high sugar content. Sugar as we now understand through years of research and study is toxic to your body's biochemical system. Sugar is toxic to the body in that it completely rearranges the way the body produces and uses insulin.

When the body is fed a meal that is high in carbohydrates or sugar, it quickly raises the level of glucose in the blood stream, which in turn stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. This results in an excess amount of insulin being released into the blood stream, rendering the body unable to turn that glucose into glycogen – which the body uses for immediate energy needs. This then decreases the body's ability to store glycogen and results in that insulin production becoming stored fat. The body's ability to hang on to stored fat is relentless and has resulted in the numerous health conditions and diseases that we suffer due to what we eat.
