on one of those websites that show you a video and promote their own diet systems I have found something that might be interesting and might explain why carbs are so high in propoints and also why people who eat a lot of carbs don't lose any weight under the new ww plan even if they follow it religiously.
Apparently, most bread, even wholewheat is not good for your sense of satiety, because it is too transformed into sugar in your body. Hence, foods that are advertised as "healthy" like porridge or cereals or brown bread, exactly like white bread increase the sugar in your blood over 90, which stimulate the production of insulin. This means that your body goes off the "fat burning zone" and goes in the "weight gain" zone, meaning that either you won't lose weight or could in fact put on. Besides, when insulin is released, your sense of satiety goes down very quickly, making you feel ravenous very soon. That's why even having 5 propoints of porridge in the morning you might feel ravenous after 2 hours.
Now, I think that this is the same principle with which propoints was thought. On that website they recommend as alternative to bread and wholewheat, sprouted grain bread which, apparently, does not get turned as much into sugar after you eat it. As carbs they also recommend rice, spelt, millet, quinoa, sweet potatoes and obviously all fruit and vegetables.
Funnily enough they also recommend proteins vs carbs, although they too point out that carbs need to be eaten in a healthy diet.
They also say that you must have fats in your diet too... or your body will hang to its own fat, but the "good" type of fats, not any fats.
Bad fats: hydrogenated oils, margarine, butter substitutes
Good fats: real butter, whole eggs, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado, raw nuts
They also recommend not to have processed foods. They say that if your liver is busy trying to get rid of the toxins found in processed foods and in the bad fats, then it won't work as hard to burn the fat your own body is storing. Hence, they recommend not to eat processed food, especially those prepackaged foods containing margarine, butter substitutes (which they say is not real food) and hydrogenated oils, but also anything that contains: artificial sweeteners (even splenda!), high content of fructose, corn syrup, processed soy products (yes even soy milk is a no no!)
Now, I won't spend $49 to buy their diet, but I found what they said very interesting and very similar to propoints, so I thought I'd share it with you guys There were things I didn't know, especially about whole wheat products, this sprouted grain bread and the processed soy products. I might stop eating cereals for breakfast and have something else instead... I'll look into what I can do from next week, it might be better for me!
