A​ ​Columbia University​ ​study​ found that women who eat a diet high in added sugars and refined grains are more likely to experience anxiety, irritability, and mood swings! ->>>>>> www.mydfit.com

To lose fat, my cardio exercise needs to be low intensity for a longer period of time.FALSELow intensity exercise uses fat as its’ fuel. That is true. But the amount of fat calories burned is less than you will burn from higher intensity cardio over time. After a higher intensity cardio workout, you will experience “after burn” which is the energy (aka calories) it takes to bring your body back to normal temperature, breathing rate, heart rate, etc... In comparison, you will end up burning more calories after a high intensity workout than after a low intensity workout.

Eating added sugar promotes the buildup of fatty deposits around your liver. These deposits contribute to insulin resistance and undermine the work done by your pancreas, which normally stalls the production of insulin, says Robert Lustig, MD, author of​ ​Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease. In a study​ of sugar consumption in 175 nations, Lustig found that eating 150 calories of added sugar is 11 times more likely to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes, compared with 150 calories from protein or fat. So swap that sugary granola for a handful of nuts, pronto.

Good-bye, midlife zits! Systemic inflammation is a known acne trigger. And sugar—wouldn't you know it?—is inflammatory. One​ ​study​ in the ​American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when non-soda-drinkers consumed one 12-ounce can a day for 3 weeks, their inflammation levels increased by 87%.

Added sugar chronically raises insulin levels, which activates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing blood pressure and heart rate," DiNicolantonio explains. "Within a few weeks' time, you might expect to see a 10% decrease in LDL cholesterol and a 20 to 30% decrease in triglycerides.

True or False?

If I do a bunch of ________ (insert body part) exercises, I will tone up that area.
FALSEThis is otherwise known as “spot training” and it’s not possible. No matter how many crunches you do, it won’t get rid of the fat on your belly. It will make your ab muscles stronger underneath, but you won’t see the definition and it won’t take off the inches. Interestingly enough, in a study published by the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, a single leg resistance program created the same amount of fat loss in both legs (trained and untrained) and even more fat loss in the upper body (even though it wasn’t worked.) In other words, a well rounded training program including cardio and strength coupled with healthy eating will tone up your trouble zones.
