Blood sugar levels and fat burning go hand-in-hand. If you don't reduce your sugar intake while exercising, you're burning glucose, not fat. Many people trying to lose weight count calories consumed and calories burned. But healthy weight loss and eventual management require much more. You can count how many calories you burn daily, but you should also track carbohydrates. To lose a little or a lot of weight, you need to consume fat-burning foods.
It's important to know what you're eating. Sugar is more than in the desserts you eat. To hide this fact, companies use alternative names. Many processed foods are high in sugar. These aren't fat-burning foods. When you read food labels, anything that ends in "-ose" is sugar.
To burn fat and lose weight effectively, the foods you consume should have a low glycemic index. The higher the number on this indicator, the more likely what you're eating will cause your blood sugar to increase at a fast rate. There is an optimal blood sugar level for fat burning and the glycemic index is key to managing this.
