00:01 Is there such a thing as a good carbs or bad carbs,
00:04 if so what makes a good carb bad, 00:07 and a bad carb bad. 00:10 And why is it so important to have glucose 00:12 in our bodies and what is its best source. 00:14 These questions and more will be answered 00:16 authoritatively in our program entitled 00:19 Curbing the Carbs Part 2, we'll be right back. 00:47 Hi welcome to Abundant Living and 00:49 this is my beautiful wife, 00:52 now this is a second time, last time 00:54 you were reading this magazine as well, 00:55 and I am trying to introduce you, 00:57 let me just introduce you first and then maybe 01:00 Paula Eakins, okay, Paula Eakins, 01:02 okay this is my wife, okay this, 01:04 this is magazine is hot. Okay we're still on the 01:07 carbs and so you are still reading that magazine. 01:09 This time it's actually talking about the 01:11 different ones out there, it talks about the 01:13 no carb or low carb, no carb and low carb. 01:14 no carb and low carb. 01:16 Yeah, we got Dr. Atkins, the new diet revolution, 01:19 you got the south beach proteins, south beach, 01:21 power, protein power, you got the fat flush plan, 01:23 fat flush. I am telling you the names keep going on 01:26 and on and on. In fact you could eat according 01:27 to your blood type, that's another one. 01:28 All of those are out there I am telling you 01:30 and you know it's just talking about how in 01:32 the book stores, okay, where there was only 01:34 a few books that was actually you know listed 01:36 as far as books that talked about low carb, 01:38 okay, that they have actually tripled in the 01:40 amount of books, they kind of tripled within 01:42 or what the last few years I guess. 01:43 Oh yes absolutely, absolutely. 01:44 And then I think the most amazing thing is, 01:46 it talks about major food manufacturers, okay, 01:50 who have actually moved into this low carb craze, 01:53 and just goes on and on and on and on and on 01:56 and Curtis, I've got a subject, I've even 01:58 found low carb wine and I think, 02:01 it's in here, its in here, its one of them in here, 02:04 that's incredible. Dog food, low carb yes, 02:07 and cat food, it's sort of commercial, 02:09 oh it's everywhere, I know, it's everywhere. 02:10 Well, low carb craze is here to stay for, 02:12 well may not be here to stay but here for a 02:14 while anyway, I hope not I hope not, okay. 02:16 A lot of money, a lot of money is being spent 02:19 on this whole carb, okay, that's why lot of 02:23 manufacturers and you know who is 02:24 suffering a lot, well who was suffering 02:26 tremendously from it was the pasta group, 02:28 the people who were doing pasta foods, 02:30 and the bread group, the bread companies, yes, 02:31 but guess what they are even on a craze, 02:34 low carb bread, orange juice, I think that's gone 02:37 down low carb ones. No, no, no the last 02:39 commercial I saw on orange juice Curtis 02:40 was where it showed, how about oranges 02:42 were lifting weights not in a round okay, 02:45 I mean because orange is an orange, 02:46 is an oranges, and is orange okay but now 02:48 the oranges are now doing weight lifting 02:50 and they are running on treadmills and stuff, 02:51 they are trying to show you the orange juice. 02:54 Curtis, all I can say, what can you say, 02:57 is that stats right now, believe it or not 02:59 and I can understand, why people get into 03:01 these different crazes but once again, 03:03 they want something quick, easy, yes, 03:05 they don't have to give up any foods that they 03:07 really like to eat and to enjoy. 03:10 And so this is really excuse to do what they 03:12 want to do and yet gain a benefit and like 03:15 I said last time we met that, 03:19 if there is a benefit attach to something 03:21 then of course more people will be deceived 03:23 and there is a benefit of course the weight loss 03:25 not so much fat but weight loss but then 03:27 again there is a deception along down the 03:30 row lying so Satan is here to destroy us 03:32 and Jesus came to give us life and Satan 03:35 came to give us death and. So Satan has studied 03:38 anatomy physiology, he knows how our bodies 03:41 work and function so I think, we can learn 03:45 a lot more in our next, this program 03:47 in our next program too. Mixing truth with Era, 03:50 here we go the power to deceive with Satan. 03:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know God is all 03:54 about all truth, that's right, 03:55 so we talked about last time we met about 03:58 God's word that the low carb diet is not 04:01 Biblically sound for those who are Bible base 04:04 Christians and so the low carb of course 04:07 does not emphasize eating a great deal 04:09 of carbohydrates and of course God's word 04:12 emphasize carbohydrates. In Genesis 1:29 04:16 and in Genesis 3:18 then to the low carb also 04:19 emphasize eating other foods protein 04:22 and fat and some of those foods are emphasizing 04:25 that when we eat unclean foods, pork 04:29 and your shrimp and fish that does not have 04:32 skins or scales and lobster and crab 04:36 and that kind of things so those far forbidden 04:38 in the word of God. Leviticus chapter 11 04:41 and Deuteronomy chapter 14, so therefore 04:43 the low carb diet is diametrically oppose 04:47 to God's plan for mankind as far as to word 04:50 of God has concerned. I think the thing 04:52 is amazing to me too Curtis while you talking 04:53 about the same thing and that is that 04:55 I was reading here where it was saying 04:56 that in order to stay on any of these diets 04:58 I call it out in a few minutes ago, 04:59 it would mean that, that individual was spending 05:02 where between a $150 a week. 05:05 Oh! My goodness, just buying the foods 05:07 that are recommended by like the South beach 05:10 and Dr. Eakins diet you have to buy all 05:12 that items that you are asking, actually asking 05:15 you to buy so the average person can't even 05:17 spend that kind of money. So now you have 05:18 a increase of your grocery bills, 05:21 the grocery bills, with that, and a whole 05:22 family is not gonna be have to go on it 05:23 I am talking about for one individual, right, 05:25 not to be able to buy like you said as lobster 05:27 and crab. I think the other thing was amazing 05:28 to me was that of individuals who know 05:32 they are not suppose to be eating unclean foods, 05:34 hello, okay, they are actually questioning now, 05:37 whether it's okay to even to eat the unclean 05:40 foods when the Bible, yes, has already said 05:42 what we're suppose to do. And this is since 05:43 we got into one website where you know 05:46 even vegetarians want to go in this low carb diet 05:49 and of course the low card diet emphasizing 05:51 eating meat and fat and animal products 05:54 so there is even a chapter in one of these 05:56 low carb diet there is a chapter on low carb 05:58 in vegetarian, but of course not meat there 06:01 but of course you have your milk, eggs 06:03 and cheese, oh yeah, so you're back we started 06:05 with the cholesterol saturated fat, yeah. 06:06 So, there is no way getting around God's word 06:09 that is the standard of truth. Now so, 06:13 now you read a magazine there and let's go 06:15 into some of things about different types of 06:18 carbohydrates because we need to understand 06:20 that all carbohydrates are not quite 06:23 equal correct, absolutely, absolutely. 06:25 So we're talking about the good carbs, 06:27 the bad carbs, what makes a good carb good 06:30 and what makes a bad carb bad. 06:32 Let's go to our next graphic and first graphic 06:34 and lets look at this, the Types of Carbs. 06:37 Number one we have simple, 06:40 simple carbohydrates, carbs carbohydrates 06:43 for sure, in that kind of group you have fruits 06:45 and vegetables. Now number two you have 06:48 what we call Complex. In that group you 06:51 have grains, or whole grains and legumes 06:55 and then the last one you have is called Refined, 06:59 that's when to Coarse Parts are removed refine. 07:04 So now honey let's comment on those 07:06 three types of carbohydrates and how 07:09 they act in the body. Well once again 07:10 when we think about the body system 07:12 we think about an anatomy physiology, 07:14 okay, or the body only looks at the chemistry 07:16 of foods even though we might look at a item 07:18 like an apple or a banana, or rice. 07:21 The body sees the chemistry of that food 07:23 is able to identify it by it's chemical 07:25 configuration, okay, the fats, the proteins, 07:27 the carbs all have their own chemistry 07:30 that the body can see. Now when you talk 07:32 about something like simple you know 07:33 of course now we are talking about, 07:35 we call one chain, which means there is a 07:37 chain one mono and then with that chain 07:41 is the rest of link to the carb, okay, 07:43 alright. And then we talk about which you 07:44 always said the food and vegetables are part 07:46 of that group. We talk about a complex. 07:48 Now we are talking about a diet, 07:50 which is two chain and the hook once again 07:53 of the carbohydrate. And then finally the last 07:57 one we call refine would be I am sorry, 08:00 complex would be the poly which means many, 08:04 many chains hooked up together, 08:05 I saw your face looking strange. 08:07 Then, and then refine would be, okay, 08:09 the one where nothing is left but the endosperm 08:11 the brand and the core of it, is actually missing 08:16 and so then you get that white spongy portion, 08:19 okay, okay. So, so we have, so basically 08:21 the whole chain for carbohydrates coming 08:24 to a one, a two or poly, okay. 08:27 So again these simple, all carbohydrates are have 08:31 a simple sugar molecules, that's right, 08:33 okay mono one saccharide sugar, monosaccharide 08:36 that's the fruit, and then you have vegetables 08:40 also have a simple molecule too, that's right, 08:43 but there is one attached to another, 08:45 so that's dye that still a simple carbohydrates 08:48 that's a vegetable and then anything more 08:50 than two is poly like you mentioned before 08:52 that's complex the whole grain. And so, 08:55 when we refined a complex and you gave 08:59 a good example of the wheat and when you 09:02 remove the germ, you removed a brand then 09:07 what you have left is the endosperm the soft 09:09 white sponge portion of the grain, 09:11 that's why white bread is so light and airy, 09:14 because nothing left but the endosperm, 09:16 the coarse parts have been removed, 09:18 so we need complex everything intact, 09:21 so we are talking about, I guess what you're saying 09:23 whole foods then. We need foods the whole, 09:25 not refined, just like they, not refined, 09:27 not refined. As a matter of fact there is a 09:28 new term out called good carbs bad carbs, 09:32 that's right. And now this is Dr. David Katz 09:35 from Yale School Of Public Health made a comment, 09:37 okay okay, and he said that a diet is rich 09:39 in fiber and complex carbohydrates, 09:42 which would include your whole grains 09:44 and of course your beans and then your simple 09:46 carbohydrates would be your fruits and your 09:48 vegetables, okay. He says it have been shown 09:50 in a wide array of studies to be associated with, 09:53 listen to this, okay, longevity, 09:55 longevity alright, lasting weight control, okay, 09:59 okay it regulates the serotonin levels, 10:02 where you have the good mood not the bad 10:05 mood swings. A lot of people need those carbs 10:07 for that too, absolutely, absolutely, 10:09 but we are not going there, you know, 10:10 low risk for cancer, low risk for cancer, 10:12 low risk for heart disease, because the fiber, 10:13 low risk for diabetes, antioxidants, 10:15 and low risk for gastrointestinal diseases, 10:19 okay. Alright, and now these are the ones called 10:21 the good ones, these are the ones you know 10:22 you want to eat we already named those. 10:24 Let's look at those refined. Now refined 10:25 the coarse parts removed, okay the white bread, 10:27 white rice, refined that's right that's 10:29 why we're talking about that we call as bad carbs, 10:31 right, okay. Because, they actually introduce 10:33 to our system no nutrition, 10:35 but lots of calories, okay that is your 10:37 white rice, your white breads, your commercial 10:39 breads that have lot of the white stuff 10:41 in them as well, your cookies and your chips, 10:43 I know somebody is feeling is getting hurt 10:45 out there. Oh you get some of my feelings, 10:46 you are starting your candy bars 10:48 what can I say and what happens is these 10:50 foods Curtis may go into the system, okay, 10:52 because they are so easy assimilated, 10:55 they give us that spike real quick that high, 10:58 the glucose high, the glucose high 11:00 and then. So the higher the spike, 11:03 the greater they drop. 11:05 There you go, there you go, okay, 11:06 and then you really go into a serious mood 11:08 swing then. It doesn't have that sustainability, 11:09 that's a complex carb we have, good comments, 11:12 good comments. Because we need the simple 11:14 and complex together, that's right, intact, 11:16 intact, but not refined or the coarse parts 11:18 do not need to be removed, and you get all 11:21 the good benefits, okay alright, excellent. 11:22 Well I guess one of the questions I want to ask 11:24 you and that is. But before we go into that, 11:26 yeah, because I remember one person 11:28 said, very popular person, television person 11:31 said that oh I don't eat any bread at all, 11:34 we heard it a lot, and so we need to differentiate 11:36 between the types of bread that needs 11:38 to be eaten, and types of bread that does not 11:40 need to be eaten, so again we are talking 11:42 about whole wheat 100 percent whole 11:45 wheat bread. We need the complex and bread 11:48 is a very good staple for our diet, 11:51 I mean that's why even Jesus turn himself, 11:53 I am the bread of life. You get everything 11:56 when you get Jesus Christ, so you know from 11:58 the word of God you know Jesus alluded 12:00 to the fact that bread is a very good staple 12:03 around the world, so we need that, okay. 12:06 Well, one of the question I have for you then, 12:09 what is the most important thing that 12:12 we get from the carb group, I mean how does 12:14 it help us and benefit us, okay. 12:15 One of the most important things we get from 12:17 carbohydrates, okay, and I'm talking about 12:20 this is glucose. The body needs glucose to function 12:27 everyday in our life, as far as mental function 12:31 is concern, the brain, the nerve cells, 12:34 the neurons, the same thing, they need glucose 12:37 to function. Even when we're sleeping 12:39 the brain is still active, so we need a constant 12:42 flow of glucose even in the central nervous 12:45 system and also in the brain as well. 12:47 And of course, carbohydrates that 12:51 do not last in the brain cells as long, 12:54 so we need a constant flow of carbohydrates 12:57 to get that glucose into our brain for clarity 13:00 for thinking, and cognition, 13:02 for studying etcetera. The brain uses 2/3rd 13:07 of all the glucose of the body, 13:10 three times more glucose than rest of the body. 13:12 So without glucose the brain or central nervous 13:15 system will definitely suffer. 13:18 Also glucose is needed for the synthesis of 13:20 nucleic acids such as RNA, DNA, 13:26 so this very vital as far as glucose is concern. 13:30 Again remember folks we do not get glucose 13:33 when we eat foods that contain protein, 13:37 we do net get glucose when we eat food 13:39 that contain mostly fat, we only get glucose 13:41 from foods that mostly contain carbohydrates. 13:45 So again this gives us a good added reason 13:47 why we need a constant flow of foods that 13:51 contain carbohydrates on a daily basis, 13:55 so the primary source of food is glucose 13:57 and we get that from carbohydrates. 13:59 Now, I think that is very very important especially 14:01 I have notice sometimes that I've done lifting 14:04 weights, okay, and our daughter kept saying 14:06 to me you know you need to really make sure 14:09 that you get some glucose in before 14:10 you start lifting, that's right, because 14:12 it's very very necessary and so my regime 14:14 before that time was I would just go ahead 14:16 on and just lift the weights, 14:17 but now I've discovered that I actually get 14:19 more staying power, more staying power, 14:20 when I've actually gotten in some carbs, 14:22 then go lift the weights, okay, okay, 14:24 good point. I actually have a longer duration 14:27 as well. I like now and did Dave tell on that 14:29 I think our next graphic because I think that 14:32 will explain what you just said about what 14:35 other functions of glucose other than what 14:37 we just mentioned about the brain cells 14:38 and neurons. So what are some of other 14:40 functions, I think we have a graphic on it, 14:42 don't we. Yes we do, yes we do. Okay, 14:43 let's look at that graphic. 14:45 Well in this graphic you will see the dietary 14:47 carbohydrates which is the foods we eat 14:49 that has the carbs in them. 14:50 Of course that increases the blood glucose levels, 14:53 and from there it alerts the pancreas that 14:56 we need to have some insulin in order 14:58 to be able to get that glucose into the blood 15:01 and into the cell. The first thing it does 15:03 it goes over to the liver in the form of glycogen 15:07 and in that glycogen is stored in the liver 15:09 and from that it only lasts for a few days 15:12 also in the same result it goes into the muscle 15:17 and the muscle once again is storing 15:19 this glycogen and anything Curtis in excess 15:22 our body need then moves down to the fat 15:25 storage cells, and once it gets there of course 15:29 we got problems. Okay, okay we have problems, 15:33 so that kind of necessary now of course even 15:35 those in a liver and also in a muscle as 15:37 glycogen remember it has a small 15:39 duration of time, doesn't stay 15:42 there forever, okay, so. Now let's, 15:44 so now that's a good graphic because 15:46 we need to emphasize something now, 15:47 when we eat food that contain carbohydrate, 15:51 it first has two major pathways one to fill up 15:56 the liver store sugar, we call that glycogen, 15:59 and other goes into the muscles 16:01 and are storing to the muscles for physical 16:03 activity anything in excess goes into stores 16:06 fat cells that is a small pathway well that 16:10 was left over. So, the bulk of it is gonna be 16:14 in the liver and also in the muscles 16:17 and then very small amount is gonna be 16:19 in store into fat cells. So, then in of course 16:21 to the blood glucose go down to is 16:23 normalcy as well. Now of course that small 16:25 amount is made into these fat cells, 16:27 also want that being something that when 16:29 a fat cells are larger than they need to be 16:33 they actually move over and make more fat cells, 16:35 and of course this is where the increase 16:36 weight and where problems is gonna be with 16:40 over weight, okay, being over weight. 16:41 We're gonna go more into that next time 16:44 we meet about, if carbohydrate really 16:48 is the main culprit in weight gain. 16:50 We're gonna look at that in relation to, 16:51 to fat and also protein as well, alright. 16:55 Well, I think we're moving along with here, 16:58 I guess we want to look at, a one cell approach. 17:02 Let's go to our last graph and let's see 17:04 what we're talking about a one cell. 17:07 Alright here we have is a cell here 17:10 and this is just a isolated one cell approach, 17:13 when we eat carbohydrate of course 17:16 it turns in the glucose. It does alert the 17:18 pancreas as my wife said in the last graphic 17:21 and the pancreas release a course 17:23 of insulin. Insulin is represented by the 17:26 round blue ball there. That insulin attaches 17:29 to the cell wall, when that happens it triggers 17:34 to glucose entry and those doors open up 17:38 and then the glucose itself which is 17:40 represented by the triangle enters in through 17:44 those doors into the cell and that's 17:47 how are billions of cell receive energy in that 17:52 fashion and that's the way the creator 17:54 God had designed every living cell in our body, 17:59 including the brain and including all cells 18:02 in our body it works just like that. 18:05 We are created fearfully, wonderfully made. 18:07 Now next time we meet, we will demonstrate 18:10 why people loose weight on the low carb diet 18:14 because that cell acts very differently 18:18 then what we just seem just now, 18:20 so that's way they suppose to work. 18:22 Next time we'll tell you how it should not work 18:24 or to back up plan which is not that accurate 18:26 at all, but that's how the cells receive energy 18:29 on a day to day basis. Well you can see 18:31 we are not finished with the subject, 18:33 no we are not. We still got more to talk to you 18:35 about and so you want to make sure which you, 18:37 you know keep up with the programs now one 18:40 top of that you probably say, is she gonna cook 18:42 anything, the answer is yes. As a matter of fact 18:45 we're gonna be fixing a Yummy Granola, 18:48 get your paper and your pencil 18:49 and meet us in the kitchen. |
