Frappuccino contains sugar as much as 31 biscuits

They are sweet, creamy and cold - the perfect choice for a summer drink. Many experts, however, condemn them as "toxic bombs sugar" because it is found in a frappuccino has the same amount of sugar as 31 biscuits. Investigation of "The Mirror" shows that favorite summer drinks some coffee chains contain alarming amounts of sugar.

Besides sugar, in the composition of these drinks have more saturated fat, which recommended daily amount is exceeded only by a few sips. Some kinds of summer frapeta mislead with a healthy appearance, as they contain fruit in the title. Expert advice is to avoid drinks with cream and whole milk because the calories in them vary around 550.


Other option is to select a small amount of drink, reduce sugar or remove any harmful ingredients such as cream, for example. Even if you think that skipping greasy hamburger, you save calories, the truth is that an "ornate" frappuccino may even exceed the calories of junk food. Many world famous brands of coffee are under pressure to show the nutritional value of their products.

Only in this way, users will have full clarity what is worth eating. Activists against obesity in the UK even go further and suggested that the government imposed restrictions on calories and sugar in drinks and food, the newspaper Daily Mail.

The fruit juices harm trainings

Fruit juice always have a favorable opinion, but specialists pay attention to a slightly neglected fact: by them drink about 150 calories in less than a minute.

Such "healthy" temptations are real enemy of good practice, because they are high in sugar and low in fiber, which means only one thing: without fibers, sugar is absorbed much more quickly. Similar doses of sugar often lead to unbalanced emotional states, alternating irritability and apathy.

Experts recommend the fruits has to be taken whole or sliced​​, but not in the form of juice before or after workouts. Fruit peel is one that contains the highest amounts of fiber.


Another negative format of juices, associated with sugar overload that causes a "sugar crash" expressed in sharp jumps in energy, followed by an equally sharp declines in which hunger yield very strong size and can hardly be controlled.

Sugar from the fruit which has been expended, is rapidly accumulated in the fat and juice from three apples, after being processed, containing the same amount of sugar as in the four donuts.

Although juices are rich in vitamins and minerals, the amount of sugar which is taken up by them is opposed to each type of diet or exercise.

Sweet or greasy ?


'Cravings for sweets is not a big problem, but to greasy is, "explains Joe Piscatella. The author of three books on nutrition says: "For many years restrained appetite for sweets, which makes us prefer greasy. Most sweets like chocolate and ice cream contain much less sugar than fat.

The only appetite of the body fats, combined with those in nutrients hidden fatputs many of them in our body. Misconception is that people refuse fat. "They just changed some of the dietary fats with other," says Piscatella. Consumption of meat,butter and whole milk is reduced to a minimum, but people continue to eat ketchup, cheese and croissants. "This means that the fat is still a large part of their food" explains Piscatella.

The solution is not to completely eliminate fat. We need a certain dose of them(even the participants in the "Mr. Olympia" accept 10-20% of calories as fat).Instead, one should not overdo with fat and comply with the limit.

The recommended daily dose of fat is about 30% of total calories. Bodybuilderstake even less. For example, if the daily amount is 2500 calories, you should consume no more than 83 grams in the form of fat, and so to keep within a margin of 30%.

Dark Chocolate

Chocolate - the universal language of friendship and love!

Dark chocolate (also called natural or dark chocolate) contains cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla and lecithin (emulsifier).

Cocoa mass in dark chocolate available commercially ranging from 30% (sweet dark chocolate) to 70-80% and the content of milk is up 12%.
European rules specify a minimum content of cocoa mass in dark chocolate is 35%. In the U.S., there is no definition for dark chocolate, but only definition of "sweet chocolate", which means that the minimum concentration of cocoa mix should be 15%. Sweet chocolate does not have to be dark, and do not necessarily contain milk. 
Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids and gallic acid. They protect the body from cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, claims that regular consumption of dark chocolate in small amounts can reduce the risk of heart attack and other heart diseases.

TYPES:

  • SWEET CHOCOLATE  
Semi-sweet chocolate has a cocoa mass more than 15% and  milk content under 12%.
  •  SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE
Semi-sweet chocolate is dark chocolate with low sugar content. Often used in cooking. It contains at least 35% cocoa mass and generally perceived as darker than sweet dark chocolate and sweeter than bittersweet chocolate. However, the lack of rules on the sugar content means that these classifications are still relative.
  •  Bittersweet chocolate
Bittersweet chocolate is composed of at least 35% cocoa (cocoa mass and cocoa butter) 1/3 sugar, vanilla and sometimes lecithin. In most cases, this type of chocolate cocoa mass content ranges from 50 to 70-80%. The flavor is deeper and more bitter than the sweet dark or semi-sweet chocolate. However, the sugar content is not strictly regulated.
Bittersweet chocolate contains less sugar and more cocoa liquor semi-sweet chocolate, but the two are completely interchangeable when used for cooking purposes.

  •  Unsweetened Chocolate
Unsweetened chocolate is pure cocoa mass and is known as "bitter chocolate" or "chocolate for baking." Is mixed with fat to obtain a solid substance.

It is unadulterated chocolate with a strong and deep flavor. With the addition of sugar, however, unsweetened chocolate is used as the basis for the preparation of cakes, biscuits and other types of chocolate (except white).
