Someone brought this into work the other day and left it out for people to have if they wanted it.
I looked at it, and couldn't help but chuckle and take a quick snapshot. Skinnygirl popcorn indeed. How many years did I believe things like popcorn would help me lose weight. After all, it wasn't caramel popcorn right? There's only 25 calories per cup, and this stuff is low in salt, so it's heart healthy too, right?
Couldn't be more wrong, it turns out. Calories don't have a thing to do with it. It's all about the insulin. Don't be fooled. Carbohydrates cannot help you lose fat, because they spike your insulin every time you eat them, and insulin prevents the burning of fat. Nobody wants to just lose weight. It doesn't help to lose muscle, bone, and sinew, or thews as Edgar Rice Burroughs always liked to talk about in his John Carter books. We all want to lose fat. That's the stuff that causes the health problems, and it will only go away if you lower your insulin and allow your glucagon to take over and get that fat put to the use that evolution invented it for, powering your body.
If I remember right, this video talks about the issue pretty well in a relatively short video.
