Food,Exercise and Nomz

[DerpiesFreud]

So I`m farely active (Heavy sports thrice a week & 6km walk daily)
Which should be pretty good fitness wise
I`m mostly a skeleton but I`m developing a bit of a belly which I`d like to get rid of.

my Food consumption is a bit :erm:
I take Multivitamins and omega 3 daily.
Ignoring 3 basic meals (Breakfast Lunch Dinner) which are partially beyond my control (I live in a res)
My snacks are usually the following

Today I was craving sugar so I ate 1.5 packets jelly beans,1 330ml just juice,a bit of doritos and 2 small PS bars
Thats waaay over the daily reccomended limit(?) I think for sugar,kj and a few other stuff...

Thats probably an express way to diabetes and health problems too
I get the feeling I should do some intense exercise after eating all that junk?

Also a snickers bar has 2000 odd kj while a jungle oats energy one has 900 kj yet both are reasonablly filling
THEREFORE!! Nutritional content and filling ness are completely unrelated :erm:

WTF are they pumping in those sweets/candy bars/chips etc :erm: :wtf:
like 1 bar is equivalent to an entire meal in terms of energy,fat and salt stuffs
but completely lacking in terms of protein and minerals

I get really hungry,anybody reccomend good snacks that wont give me diabetes/obesity?

tl;dr

sugar rush? state of mind?

glucose, rubbish more rubbish

almonds(and some other nuts), home made protein bar, biltong, banana, air popped pop corn (without too much salt etc) - not the best but way better options

Stop eating sweets constantly. Snack on fruits.

In a nutshell what happens is when you consume high sugar foods your blood sugar goes up and you get a surge of energy (which is very effective for studying as the brain is a monster at eating glucose when its in use). However when your body deals with the sugar (insulin), the blood glucose drops and you will get hungry again even though your sugar is not really low.

Your body will adjust to what you put in it.

For example:

A person who doesnt eat sweets might get hungry when their sugar is like say 3mmol. Then they eat it goes up to 7mmol then they reach their normal state which is 5mmol.

Now someone who eats a lot of sweets they shift this axis. They will get hungry when their sugar is at say 4mmol then they eat and it goes up to 9mmol (because they eating lots of sugar) then they reach their normal state around 6/7 mmol.

Its the decrease in sugar that causes it when insulin starts doing its job. This is basically (very basic) how diet relates to the development of diabetes. You keep shifting that axis and eventually you get insulin resistance over time.

so to fix this you need foods that have a long gastric residence time (take long to digest) and contain complex starches not simple sugars. One could argue that fructose is a simple sugar but the fiber content in fruit keeps it in the stomach for a long time.
