How Blood Sugar Affects Your Weight

Your blood sugar level is the amount of glucose from what you eat that’s circulating in your bloodstream to provide energy to cells immediately or be stored for future use. A well-balanced blood sugar level is crucial to your overall fitness and well-being, regulating your hormones, triggering your body to burn stored fat, and increasing your metabolism to help you lose weight.

Unfortunately, most people’s blood sugar is not properly balanced. If you’re getting too much glucose, it leads to high blood-sugar levels, which your body can’t break down and stores as fat. Ironically, not getting enough sugar can also lead to putting on extra pounds! Eating too little glucose can lead to a low blood sugar level, causing your body to go into “starvation mode” where it burns your lean muscle instead of the fat – a double whammy to your system and your diet.

How Does Plexus Slim & Accelerator Help to Balance Blood Sugar?

How your body processes sugar (glucose) plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy weight. While some people have optimal sugar-burning processes, others find themselves challenged in breaking down ingested sugars, managing the glucose levels in the blood, and getting the glucose into the cells where it is used for energy (rather than stored as fat!). Multiple processes have to work properly in order to effectively process sugar in your body. This is the underlying focus when working with Diabetics, which is why the Plexus products are much more effective in weight loss than other products. Remember, Plexus Slim was originally formulated to help Type 2 Diabetics control their blood sugar.

Turning glucose into energy is important in the management of blood sugar. While you may try your hardest to limit the amount of sugar you ingest, it’s difficult to know what foods contain sugar and what foods don’t. There are so many different types of sugar often called different names, making sugar difficult to track in your diet. Most people are familiar with granulated sugar (granulated sugars differ in crystal size, and include white sugar, fruit sugar, superfine sugar, confectioners or powdered sugar, sanding sugar, brown sugar, and many more!). However, it’s important to be familiar with other sugar names such as sucrose, which can be split into its two component sugars glucose and fructose. Sugar is also referred to by the major classifications of “simple sugars” and “complex sugars”. Simple sugars are called monosaccharides (single sugar molecules) and include glucose, fructose and galactose. Complex sugars, like sucrose, are disaccharides which mean they are formed by the combination of two monosaccharide molecules. Other disaccharides include maltose (formed during the germination of certain grains) and lactose (the naturally occurring sugar found in milk). To add even more complexity to the issue, certain food groups, such as dairy products and carbohydrates, when metabolized are converted to glucose! So to track your sugar intake requires knowledge of how certain foods are digested and broken down. Wow! That’s a lot to know!

Now that you know some of the common names for sugar, and that certain foods are broken down into sugar molecules, it’s also important to know that some food is metabolized into sugar quickly, while others are not. This is referred to as the food’s Glycemic Index. Different food raises blood glucose to varying levels. The Glycemic Index is a numerical Index that ranks carbohydrates based on their rate of conversion to glucose within the human body. The glycemic Index uses a scale of 0 to 100, with higher values given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar. Pure glucose serves as a reference point, and is given a Glycemic Index (GI) of 100. Nutritionists used to believe that all simple sugars digested quickly and caused a rapid rise in blood sugar, and that the opposite was true for "complex carbohydrates". But that's not always the case. While many sweet and sugary foods do have high GI's, some starchy foods like potatoes or white bread score even higher than honey or table sugar (sucrose)!

Your body performs best when your blood sugar is kept relatively constant. If your blood sugar drops too low, you become lethargic and/or experience increased hunger. And if it goes too high, your brain signals your pancreas to secrete more insulin. Insulin brings your blood sugar back down, but primarily by converting the excess sugar to stored fat. Also, the greater the rate of increase in your blood sugar, the more chance that your body will release an excess amount of insulin, and drive your blood sugar back down too low. Therefore, when you eat foods that cause a large and rapid glycemic response, you may feel an initial elevation in energy and mood as your blood sugar rises, but this is followed by a cycle of increased fat storage, lethargy, and more hunger!

Plexus Slim and Accelerator+ contain ingredients known to have a low glycemic index, meaning that it will not raise blood glucose levels quickly after consumption, and therefor not create large fluctuations in blood glucose levels. Therefore, the Plexus products help prevent food cravings and binging, fat storage, spikes insulin levels, and dips in energy levels.

Plexus Slim and Accelerator address blood glucose management from THREE perspectives:

The first is through all-natural sweeteners, such as Lo Han (a fruit) extract, with low glycemic indexes that help maintain a balanced blood sugar level throughout the day.
The second is through ingredients such as alpha lipoic acid (a natural antioxidant) that help turn sugar into energy (metabolize glucose).
The third way Slim & Accelerator help maintain healthy glucose levels is through ingredients that increase insulin sensitivity, such as chromium, stevia, and magnesium. By helping insulin get the glucose out of the blood and into the cells where it can be used for energy, Plexus Slim & Accelerator help prevent elevated blood glucose levels.

By addressing blood glucose from a holistic perspective (1: breaking down ingested sugars, 2: managing the glucose levels in the blood, and 3: getting the glucose into the cells where it is used for energy), Plexus Slim and Accelerator provide a more complete approach to blood glucose management than any other weight loss product on the market! On a side note, excess weight increases insulin resistance (when your muscle and fat cells are resistant to your body’s insulin and cannot use the sugar available in the blood). Since Plexus Slim and Accelerator help you lose excess weight, it also helps lower insulin resistance so your body’s insulin works better thus helping manage glucose levels.

I was a skeptic when I first heard of Plexus Slim. All my friends were doing it and I thought they were nuts. Aren't there way too many products on the market claiming weight loss? But I couldn't deny that my friends were shrinking and I eventually gave in and tried it for myself. I was completely shocked at the results. In a week's time I had lost 5 pounds and 10 inches overall!! All that without the gym!
