I do not think it would be an exaggeration to say that Spanish auteur Agustí Villaronga (In a Glass Cage aka Tras el cristal, Black Bread aka Pa negre) is the most proficient director of bleak coming-of-age films. Out of all of Villaronga's films, Moon Child (1989) aka El niño de la luna – an exotic and sometimes erotic esoteric Adventure-Fantasy work worthy of any adult's time – is easily the Spanish filmmaker's most optimistic effort, yet the film is far from an feel-good-flick that one would watch with the entire family, let alone with small children. In the film, a 12-year old orphan boy named David discovers the prophecy of an ancient African tribe that foretells the random appearance of a white child (the "moon child") that will become their god: The Son of the Moon. Overtime, David begins to believe that he is, indeed, the soon-to-be-all-powerful Moon Child. Due to his budding extrasensory perception, David is adopted by an odd Occult institution with unsavory intentions that is sort of like a dystopian X-men academy, that experiments and does research on idiosyncratic Übermensch children. Unfortunately, for God-in-the-making David, the academy has plans to make their own Moon Child by channeling the energy of the moon into an unborn child. To an extent, the plans of the occult group somewhat resembles that of the conspiring white magicians featured in British alpha-occultist Aleister Crowley's novel Moonchild (1917). During his dangerous journey, David befriends a blonde girl named Georgina (played by Lisa Gerrard of the ethereal neoclassical music group Dead Can Dance in her only acting role) who becomes a mother figure for the boy and whose slender body becomes a vessel for the evil occult group's man-made Moon Child. Davey also fancies an older woman with split loyalties named Victoria who struggles over her allegiances to the all-power Occult organization she is an unflinching member of and the lost boy that needs her love. On his precarious journey, David encounters everything from institutional lunar sex (featuring Lisa Gerrard totally nude) to the totally devastating and debilitating heat of African deserts. Needless to say, David and his struggles make that of the children in The Goonies (1985) seem like those of young peons on a slightly perturbing playdate.
Like Villaronga's previous film In a Glass Cage (1987), Moon Child is an aesthetically-splendid work that, despite its stark story, brings solace to the eyes and harmony to the ears. For fans of Dead Can Dance, Moon Child is also quite the rare treat as the ineffable score composed by the music duo was done specifically for the film, thus, the only way to hear it is by watching this unfortunately scarce and mostly magical motion picture. Moon Child is certainly the best and most fitting marriage between avant-garde filmmaker and musical group since the collaboration between Derek Jarman and post-industrial group Coil for The Angelic Conversation (1985). Like the music of Dead Can Dance, Moon Child transports the viewer to various mysterious and nonexistent thaumaturgic lands and sparks emotions that range from delightful dread to indescribable splendor. Thankfully, the storyline of Moon Child is for the most part in tune with the aesthetic qualities of the film. Although, the plot of Moon Child may seem rather incoherent at times, this seemingly glaring flaw inevitably adds to the already persuasive mystique and intrigue of the film. Needless to say, Moon Child becomes more potent upon subsequent viewings. If any cinematic work manages to mix thematic and aesthetic elements of Nicholas Roeg's Walkabout (1971) and The Witches (1990) and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Moon Child is surely that seemingly unreal and otherworldly film. All of the actors featured in Moon Child, including the one who played David, also deserve praise for their talents. I must admit that I find most child actors nothing short of deplorable and ultimately unbelievable, but Enrique Saldana (the boy who plays David) is certainly convincing as a daunted yet daring child who is totally devoted to fulfilling a metaphysical mission that he has trouble verbally articulating. Despite her lack of acting experience, lovely Lisa Gerrard – who is indubitably a modern Renaissance woman – brings a strong performance to Moon Child that is an imperative to the believability of the film. In what is probably the most memorable scene in the film, Ms. Gerrard goes from being in a state of bewilderment as she lays naked on a cold, sterile metal ritual bed; to a mood of total ecstasy as she makes love with her seedman; to a position of total terror as a couple occult members takeaway her lover and surgically pick at her freshly soiled vagina in a most crude and calculating quasi-scientific fashion.
John Waters' once remarked regarding Villaronga's In a Glass Cage, "(it) is a great film, but I'm too scared to show it to my friends." Moon Child is not a film one should fear showing to one's friends, but it most certainly has the capacity to stupefy both small children and Quention Tarantino fans alike. If you're one of those many individuals who found themselves slightly disturbed by films like Wolfgang Peterson's The NeverEnding Story (1984) and Jim Henson's The Labyrinth (1986) as a young and naive child, Moon Child is probably one of a handful of films that can potentially help you recapture those youthful emotions of partially petrified nostalgia. Like In a Glass Cage, Moon Child is a film that neglects to follow the gospel of the Hollywood studio system, as it is a work that is certainly not cognizant of the taboos of political correctness. I am sure that had Moon Child been produced within the strict, authoritarian socio-political confines of a typical Hollywood studio production, the Moon Child would have been a starving and saintly Ethiopian boy who is on a journey to central Europe (with the help of a good liberal white couple, nonetheless) to fulfill an ancient Germanic prophecy for peaceful world unity. Politically incorrect or not, Moon Child is certainly a rare work of 'World-Class Cinema', as the film manages to swimmingly cross both cultural and country barriers (whether they be real or not as none of the locations, aside from the continents, are mentioned in the film). Of course, most important of all, Moon Child is a flavorsome flick that manages to activate the imagination of the most bitter, skeptical, and misanthropic of viewers (myself included), and for that reason alone, it is a must-see film.

I want to bugger Lisa Gerrard (as the bird was in 1979 when the bird was 18, not as the bird is now obviously).
You know that song that George Burns used to sing when he was 100,: "Oh, i wish i was 18 again", well i was thinking, wouldn`t it have been hilarious if the words had instead been: "Oh, i wish i was a chicken-shit mother-fucker again" ! ! !...ha..ha..ha.., you see, you have to actually imagine George Burns singing those words then it really is truly hilarious believe me.

Just with regards to "The Neverending Story": i want to bugger Tami Stronach (the child-like Empress), as the gorgeous little darlin` was at the time that film was made, not as the bird is now obviously. In that movie Tami was arguably the most stunningly beautiful vision of loveliness that has ever graced any film in the entire history of cinema.
Just with regards to "Labyrinth": I want to bugger Jennifer Connelly (as the bird was in 1988 when the bird was 18, not as the bird is now obviously).
I just watched the edited version of "Thundercrack" on Youtube and if it hadn`t been for all the pansy queer bull-shit it would`ve been the perfect "cult-movie", as i was watching it i was thinking what a truly great film it would`ve been if all the characters in the movie had been naked 18 year-old chicks and all the sexual activity depicted had been "lesbian anal" ! ! !. Dirty faggots, they always ruin everything (especially potentially great cult-movies).

EVEN IF THE ABOVE FILM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALEISTER CROWLEY's NOVEL, I WANT TO LEAVE YOU THE FOLLOWING COMMENT :
"L'enfant de la Lune - Moon Child"
éditions Marathias, Athènes, 2001, pp.413
Ce roman du Grand Magicien anglais Aleister Crowley nous a donné la certitude que notre pays d'origine n'est pas si arriéré comme les journalistes français le décrivent. Ce roman n'a jamais été traduit en français et c'était le aMagicien français Philippe Pissier qui nous a donné la confirmation. La première édition anglaise a été faite en 1929 par l'éditeur "Mandrake Press", un éditeur qui a fermé ses portes il y a seulement une dizaine d'années. C'est grâce à la magie de Crowley qu'il a existé plus que quatre-vingts ans.
Nous allons essayer de faire un résumé du roman pour les curieux. Plusieurs réunions de magiciens se déroulent en trois villes : à Londres, à Paris et à Naples. Les magiciens sont de religions différentes : "Jésus nous a oubliés" est un premier jugement sur la page 52. Quel est le but de leurs réunions ? C'est de créer un homonculus avec le support de leur Magie. A travers les pages du roman il y a le mélange des dogmes rosicruciens, théosophes ou autres par le biais de plusieurs artistes qui ont été illuminés par la doctrine de Crowley. En étudiant les Grimoires, les magiciens récitent des phrases en latin ancien. D'autres phrases comme "Le coté noir de la Lune" (c'est le titre d'un chapitre) nous font penser aux succès du rock que nous connaissions très bien depuis longtemps.
Dans cet univers magique et littéraire coexistent la poétesse Georges Sand (page 120) le producteur pas encore né juif Steven Spielberg et son "Poltergeist" qui signifie esprit frappeur en allemand, mais aussi l'occultiste français Eliphas Levi dont le nom nous revèle sa religion. Et le point culminant sera le mariage paganiste à quatre qui aura lieu sur la page 333 (c'est symbolique ? il faudra poser cette question à Monsieur Marathias ou à son impimeur qui a fait la numérotation des pages) et qui fournira l'homonculus lunaire du titre. Sur la page 146 fait son apparition l'acronyme magique SRMD que le traducteur grec laisse sans traduction. C'est sûrement intentionnel mais nous allons vous l'expliquer quand même. ça veut dire "Royal is my Race". Faut-il vraiment le traduire ?

Add a Japanese twist to the classic barbecue brisket sandwich by rubbing the meat with a 7 spice blend, also known as Shichimi Togarashi, before grilling. Serve with a fresh carrot and fennel slaw.
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C, 325°F Gas Mark 3.
For the brisket, mix the 7 spice blend and Sea Salt. Place brisket fat side up in a large ovenproof saucepan, or casserole dish with lid, just large enough to hold the brisket without it touching the sides. Rub all over with seasoning mixture, then pour stock around brisket. Cover with tight fitting lid, or if necessary use a layer of foil before placing the lid on to ensure no moisture escapes. Cook in the oven for 3-4 hours, until brisket is tender.
Meanwhile, for the fennel slaw, mix vinegar, orange juice, granulated sugar, oil and Sea Salt in large bowl, until well blended. Add carrots, fennel and red onion. Toss to coat well, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the BBQ Sauce, mix all ingredients in medium saucepan on a high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened and sauce is reduced to about 500ml (17fl oz). Stir occasionally.
To serve carefully remove brisket from pan and allow to cool slightly before pulling. Reduce any juices from the beef in a large frying pan over a high heat until around 200ml (7floz) remains. Pull the brisket using two forks then pour over the reduced cooking liquor. Serve in rolls with BBQ Sauce and Fennel Slaw.

'Fantastic Beasts' Has Worst Opening In 'Harry Potter' Franchise
All along, Warner Bros. has said the plan for the Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them franchise is a five movie saga. This week's Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third chapter of that grand scheme, following the original film and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. But given The Secrets of Dumbledore's box office, you have to wonder if that original plan will be carried out to completion.
That's because The Secrets of Dumbledore debuted at the box office with just $43 million in ticket sales in the United States, by far the worst total in either the Fantastic Beasts series or the Harry Potter franchise which inspired it. True, the pandemic has generally hurt box office totals across the board, but Fantastic Beasts is supposed to be the kind of enormous tentpole that people will still come out to see in theaters, like the Marvel franchise or the Fast & Furious pictures. At least this time, it did not do its job.
Here's how The Secrets of Dumbledore compares with every opening weekend in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies; as you can see it barely made a quarter of what the final Harry Potter grossed in one weekend in 2011, despite the fact that it still cost a reported $200 million to produce:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - $169.1 million
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - $102.6 million
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - $93.6 million
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - $90.2 million
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - $88.3 million
43. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - $77.8 million
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - $77.1 million
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - $74.4 million
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - $62.1 million
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore - $43 million
According to Deadline, there is some uncertainty about Harry Potter's movie future. They write that there are "no concrete pans immediately" for a new Potter movie, and the much-publicized Harry Potter HBO Max series still has no writers attached. There also isn't a script for a fourth Fantastic Beasts yet, despite that five-movie plan. I'm no wizard, but if I had to could into the future, I sincerely doubt I would see two more Fantastic Beasts there; I think either a reboot or some kind of movie set in Hogwarts and much more in the style of the original Potters would make a lot more sense.

Buffett bets big on oil and gas stocks
By Sue Norton
For decades, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett has maintained a fairly conservative approach to investing, favoring retail and banking stocks while leaving plenty of room for to more volatile sectors such as technology and energy. In fact, America's big banks have been Warren Buffett's business preferred investment because they are part of the infrastructure of the country, a nation he continually bets on.
As recently as the end of 2019, Berkshire had significant stakes in four of the five largest US banks, with Wells Fargo remains Buffett's top stock held for three consecutive years through 2017.
But Buffett appears to have radically changed his investment philosophy over the past two years, taking new multibillion-dollar stakes in energy and IT companies while avoiding the banking sector.
After the coronavirus pandemic began in early 2020, Buffett unloaded Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) cheap, despite many stocks in the sector becoming significantly cheaper to own.
"I like banks in general, I didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that we haven't gotten so far,Buffett told investors at last year's shareholder meeting.
Various analysts shared their views on Buffett's bank divestments.
"What that tells you is that he thinks we need to batten down the hatches because we're looking at a long cycle of inflation and probably stagnation. Banks are very cyclical, and there's every indication that we're in inflation. high, high rate environment for a while, which generally means lending activity is going to be compressed and investment activity is going to be depressed", Phillip Phan, a professor at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, told CNBC.
Despite rising interest rates this year, which typically boost banks due to improved credit spreads, the banking sector has been hammered: WFC is down 14.0% year-to-date , JPM cratered 26.2% while GS lost 22.7% on fears the US economy could stall. the Fed fights inflation by raising interest rates.
Buffett's energy investments
Buffett doubled his energy investments while trimming his bank holdings despite oil and gas stocks having high multi-year valuations.
Namely, the legendary investor added new shares in burning E&P companies Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:OXY) and Chevron inc. (NYSE:CVX) although both are currently trading at multi-year highs.
According to Berkshire's Last 13F Folder, the company purchased 118.3 million shares of OXY in multiple transactions from March 12-16, increasing its stake in OXY to 136.4 million shares, or ~14.6% of its outstanding shares. Berkshire also holds OXY warrants giving the right to purchase some 83.9 million additional common shares at approximately $59.62 each, plus another 100,000 OXY preferred shares. Earlier, Berkshire revealed it bought about 9.4 million shares of oil titan Chevron in the fourth quarter, boosting its stake to 38 million shares with a current value of $6.2 billion.
OXY has more than doubled in the past 12 months, while CVX is up 50%, with both stocks trading near multi-year highs. But, obviously, Buffet thinks they still have a lot of potential judging by the huge positions opened by his investment conglomerate.
Buffett is not alone.

Vicki Hollub, CEO of OXY, has bought back OXY shares in the open market, even as stocks trade near three-year highs. According to a Filing with the SEC, Hollub paid $798,000 on March 28 for 14,191 OXY shares at an average price of $56.24, increasing his holdings to 467,282 shares and an additional 23,390 shares through a savings plan. Hollub last bought OXY stock on the open market nearly three years ago, when it paid $1.8 million for 37,460 shares at an average of $48.15 per share on June 10. 2019.
Wall Street is also fascinated by OXY.
Raymond James analyst John Freeman recently raised his OXY price target from $60 to $85, setting a new high on Wall Street. That's good for nearly 50% upside.
OXY has 9 strong buy reviews; 2 buy, 13 hold, 1 sell and 1 sell odds on Wall Street.
Meanwhile, Shale's player APA Corp. (NYSE:APA) hit a 52-week high after Mizuho upgraded stocks to buy from Neutral with a price target of $56, down from $38 previously, saying the company is in a "unique position" among oil and gas producers.
Mizuho says APA has a "clear plan for a 10%+ cash return 2022-24 at current oil prices, as well as catalysts for near-term growth (Egypt) and longer-term development (Suriname) outside the United States"
"Energy is the only sector that sees its quality, growth and momentum scores improve simultaneously while maintaining an attractive value and revenue profile.JPMorgan's Dubravko Lakos-Bujas told Business Insider, adding that current estimates are conservative and underestimate strong macro fundamentals going forward.
According to JPM, the energy sector still has considerable upside despite its massive rise over the past year. JPM says a combination of rapid earnings growth and revaluation of major multiples will help boost the sector further.
A final remark: oil stocks remain undervalued, with The S&P energy sector is still far behind its 2014 levels since the last time oil broke $100 a barrel.

Padací (chytací) jámy jsou hluboké jámy vykopané v zemi nebo postavené z kamení za účelem chytání zvířat. Jde o nejjednodušší a zároveň pravděpodobně nejstarší typ pasti.

Evropské skalní i jeskynní malby vypovídají o tom, že losi byli chytáni už v době kamenné. V severní Skandinávii je ještě v současnosti možno nalézt chytací jámy, které byly používány pro chytání losů, sobů, vlků a medvědů. Tyto několik metrů hluboké jámy, které mohou být až 4 metry široké a 7 metrů dlouhé, byly nahoře zakryty větvemi a listy. U jámy byla přivázana návnada, která měla zvěř přilákat (živá ovce, při chytání lišek kachna). Jámy měly příkré stěny lemované kůly, což mělo zvířeti znemožnit uniknutí z jámy. Zvíře spadnuvší do jámy se buď zabilo pádem na dole nastražený kůl, nebo bylo zabito nedaleko čekajícími lovci. Padací jámy se používaly ještě na počátku 20. století. V současnosti je chytání zvěře pomocí padacích jam v České republice, Německu a Rakousku zakázáno.

Přísloví
K padací jámě se vyjadřuje i jedno (nejen) české přísloví:
Podobné citáty jsou i v Bibli.

Horizon Portal - Cloud-First is not Cloud only! Read why you need Hybrid IT.
The need for a different approach to IT has become ever more pressing as business and technology have dramatically accelerated. Hybrid IT is proving to be more economical and more flexible, whilst also supporting a seamless evolution in a rapidly-changing world and makes more sense than any other approach.
The traditional '5-year refresh' is a thing of the past, companies of all sizes are looking to IT to be more flexible, to provide a flexible and scalable experience at a lower cost than ever before.
Rapid change can make what was a leading edge environment pretty much obsolete in a short amount of time, placing the entire business at a severe competitive disadvantage. This requires a mindset change from everyone involved in the process, including the financing of the equipment and services. Moving from a CAPEX to OPEX model is becoming ever-more important, talking to customers about buying-back old kit, flexible financing models, asset disposal and generally making more of a budget that seems to be shrinking every time the business blinks is paramount.
Ensure you get the right mix by looking to HPE and Ingram Micro to support you and your customers on your Hybrid IT needs.


It's Monday. You've just started a brand new health kick, and you're convinced that THIS TIME you'll stick with it. You have an event coming up in three months and you want to lose 10kg in that time. You've removed all the junk food from your house, and you got pizza for dinner last night as a kind of last supper – just to prove to yourself that it was the last time you were going to eat food like that for at least 3 months. You've got this. Motivation is at an all time high, and nothing is going to stop you this time.
It's Thursday. You skipped the gym this morning because you snoozed your alarm too many times. You were running late to work and didn't have time to eat breakfast or make a healthy lunch, so by the time 11am comes around you are starving. Sushi is the healthiest choice around, so you grab a couple of rolls and basically inhale them without thinking. But it's okay, you're still on track, you haven't given up yet! Back to your strict diet tomorrow, for sure.
It's Sunday. It's now been 4 days since you went to the gym, or exercised at all. You're feeling like a bit of a failure. Your diet hasn't been terrible, but it hasn't been very good either. And now you're sitting on the couch thinking about the packet of potato chips sitting in the cupboard. You rationalise; "I haven't really stuck to my diet this week anyway, so I might as well just start again tomorrow". Before you know it, the packet is empty and you're hit with guilt, regret and shame. Why did you do it? Why did you give in so easily? Why couldn't you just be a bit stronger and ignore your cravings? You didn't even enjoy the chips in the end, you were just eating them to punish yourself! Why, why, WHY do you always do this to yourself?
Gosh, that cycle is exhausting. Trust me, I've been there! And the reason I'm sharing this with you is because I know what it's like to struggle through with nothing but willpower and CONSTANTLY feel like a failure.
You feel like you'll never lose weight.
You feel like there is something wrong with you because you just can't stick to a diet.
You feel worthless because you'll never fit into those size 9 jeans sitting in your cupboard that you bought 4 years ago as "motivation to lose weight".
It's a really horrible place to be, all that guilt and shame and failure.
But wait for it…. *drum roll please*….. THERE IS ANOTHER WAY! While the dieting industry would love you to believe that will power is your only option when it comes to losing weight, I'm here to smash that myth. Let's be cynical for a second: if all those dieting pills and weight loss shakes actually worked, wouldn't the dieting industry be out of work? Wouldn't they lose customers every time someone actually succeeded in their programs? Wouldn't they make A LOT MORE MONEY if they actually set you up to fail in the first place? By convincing you that your willpower is not strong enough, and then convincing you to try again, use a different product, start again next week or in the new year, the dieting industry is making you into a lifelong customer. And that's a win for them and their wallets.
So what's the alternative to willpower?
Willpower works against your body. It tells you to ignore food cravings, push through your low energy, ignore your stress and stick to your diet plan no matter what. So the alternative to using willpower is to work with your body. Listen to your body, get in touch with you and your individuality, and work from the foundations up.
When you work with your body, you delve deeper into your food cravings and figure out what is causing them, so that you can eliminate them completely. Not having food cravings in the first place is a lot easier than fighting those cravings will willpower. (This is what I teach in my online program Overcome Food Cravings).
When you work with your body, you figure out what is causing your low energy and you fix that first, rather than forcing yourself to "smash it out" at the gym when your body is screaming out for rest. It might require increasing your iron intake, or improving your quality of sleep, or a number of things. But whatever is contributing to your poor energy, that needs to be addressed before you can expect to stick to a consistent exercise regime.
How do I work with my body? I don't know where to start.
This is exactly what I do with clients in 1:1 sessions, online. I will help you understand what is going on at a foundational level so that we can get you to a place where eating healthy foods and exercising regularly feels easy. No battling willpower, no feelings of guilt or failure, just a really down-to-earth and simple approach to getting you on the fast track to success in your weight loss goals.
I'll help you get rid of your food cravings altogether. I'll help you improve your energy levels, get your digestion working properly, and give you coping strategies for stressful and emotional situations. Whatever obstacle you need to remove before you can start living a healthy, happy life – I can help you out.
For more information on working with me, click here.
I struggled against my body and blamed my lack of willpower for way too long, and I don't want you to do the same. Book a session with me and together we'll get to the root of your issue, so that you can find freedom with food and healthy living.
When I was younger, I was a huge fan of reading. Then, growing up happened and soon enough I couldn't remember the last time I'd read a book for leisure. These days, reading is a part of my self-care routine, and it's my favourite way to wind down before I go to sleep at night. I wanted to share with you my top three favourite books that have changed the way I think and feel about myself and my body – I hope that you choose one of these books to read yourself, so that you can start seeing the changes too.
Cassie Mendoza-Jones writes in a way that is easy to follow, and totally relateable. Her first book, You Are Enough, helped me to learn self-acceptance, and to stop comparing myself to others. It's also a great book for overcoming perfectionism, something the author herself understands.
Filled with practical tips, affirmations, meditations, energetic tools and more, It's All Good guides us to surrender, tune into trust, and ultimately achieve the peace of mind that comes from knowing we are always supported.
I highly recommend purchasing both of Cassie's books, It's All Good & You Are Enough, because they complement each other so well.
If you haven't heard of Brene Brown's work, you're in for a treat. Her uncanny ability to make anyone feel understood combined with her blunt sense of humour makes for a winning book. In Daring Greatly, Brene talks about the importance of vulnerability, and how shame impacts us on a personal and societal level. Brene gives you permission to be fully, unapologetically, vulnerable you.
I would love to know your thoughts once you've read these books! They have absolutely changed the way I view myself, and the way I live my life.
Blood sugar balance is often overlooked when it comes to sugar / sweet cravings.
Imbalanced or dysregulated blood sugar levels can play a huge role in the development of cravings and ultimately, weight gain.
Have you ever had one of those days when you had a green smoothie for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and you're feeling super motivated and healthy.. but by the time it hits 3pm or when you get home from work at 5pm, you're raiding the pantry and eating anything you can find? This is one of the biggest signs of blood sugar disregulation and I'll explain later why eating "healthy" can sometimes cause this problem.
Have you experienced any of the following? Tick the boxes below.
All of the symptoms above are signs of poorly regulated blood sugar levels – so if you've ticked yes to three or more of these then it is highly likely that you have experienced some level of blood sugar imbalance or hypoglycaemia. The good news is, it's generally easy to correct!
Here's a graph that makes it easy to understand what happens to your blood sugar levels when you eat certain foods.
What does it mean when we talk about blood sugar levels?
Blood sugar levels refers to the amount of free glucose (sugar) that is circulating throughout your body in your blood. Glucose is the form of sugar that your body uses for energy. When you eat a meal or a snack, or even when you drink something containing sugar, your body converts those sugars into glucose and sends it straight into your bloodstream, where it can then be delivered to the area of your body that needs it. There are lots of things circulating in your bloodstream, but blood sugar levels are just in reference to the glucose molecules.
Why are blood sugar levels so important?
If you eat a meal that is stable in terms of glycemic load (more on this later, but it basically means it doesn't have too much sugar in it) then your body breaks the food down to glucose molecules, releases glucose into your bloodstream and the glucose is sent to wherever it is needed for energy. Once that glucose has been used up for energy, you'll have a healthy hunger response to signify that it is time to refuel your body with more food. This is the blue line on the graph.
If you eat a meal that has an unstable glycemic load, the following cascade of events takes place: your body breaks down the food into glucose molecules, your body sends glucose out into the bloodstream and it is delivered to where it is needed most. Then, your body starts to realise that there is too much glucose circulating in the blood and starts to go into a stress response to fix it! Excess glucose is sent to your liver, where it is converted into fat and stored in your body as fat tissue. Meanwhile, your brain begins to become starved of glucose because it's all been converted into fat and your brain has no fuel to function! So your brain sends out a signal to your hunger control centre, and all of a sudden you have a really strong craving for carbs or sugar or any kind of food. You might feel light-headed, a bit weak or even be a bit grumpy until you manage to satisfy your brain's craving for more glucose. And once you eat that glucose-rich food, the cascade starts all over again. This is the purple line on the graph.
Scenario #2 is complex and stressful to your body systems. This is the basis of imbalanced blood sugar. Now let's look at how you can avoid this cascade and keep your blood sugar levels stable.
Glycemic load (GL) refers to the level of impact a meal has on your body and your blood glucose levels. If a food or meal is balanced in terms of carbohydrates, fats and protein content, and therefore causes minimal impact on your blood glucose levels (i.e. it causes scenario #1) then it is said to have a stable glycemic load. When a food or meal creates havoc in your body and causes large increases or decreases in blood sugar levels (scenario #2) it has an unstable glycemic load. By eating foods and meals with a stable GL, you can reduce your sugar cravings and mood swings, minimise stress in your body and even lose weight!
avoid refined wheat products (i.e. 'white' wheat products such as white bread, store-bought bakery foods, biscuits, etc) as much as possible – the refining process that the wheat is subject to removes protein, fats, vitamins and minerals necessary for our body to digest the food in a healthy way. White, refined wheat products basically turn into sugar when digested, and are more likely to cause the red line on the graph (unstable GL). Wholegrain and wholewheat breads and wheat products have a stable GL because they still contain the necessary fats and proteins to help slow glucose absorption (green line).

Should you really quit sugar?
You've probably heard a fair bit about sugar lately, and how bad it is for our health. There are even dedicated programs online to help you quit sugar for good – but do you really need to quit it? Let's take a look at the role of sugar in our diet and whether or not we actually need it to survive.
Sugar turns into glucose when it's digested. High-sugar foods such as lollies, soft drink and even fruit cause a huge spike in blood glucose levels are we eat them, and our body then produces a hormone called insulin to help reduce the amount of glucose in our bloodstream and turn the sugar into energy that we can use to get through our day. Usually when our blood sugar levels spike, say for example after a high-sugar food, we might feel really energetic, really happy and sometimes even a little bit anxious or jittery. Once insulin comes along to get rid of all the glucose from our bloodstream, our blood sugar levels will drop and suddenly we're left feeling flat, tired and moody. You might have heard this explained as 3.30itis, when you're feeling flat and tired and reaching for something sweet – but it is often simply due to imbalanced blood sugar levels.
High sugar intake can cause insulin resistance and may eventually lead to diabetes. The pancreas is responsible for producing and secreting insulin, and if it is overworked due to a high sugar intake (which increases your need for insulin) then your pancreas may start to over-produce or under-produce insulin. This leads to moderate to severe blood sugar imbalances and can manifest in symptoms such as feeling shaky, anxious, light-headed and/or cranky between meals. Your body may also become less sensitive to the hormone insulin if it is overproduced, meaning your pancreas has to produce even more insulin to be able to process and transport glucose – and so this negative cycle can down spiral, causing further insulin resistance and placing more strain on the pancreas to produce insulin. Type II diabetes occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to manage blood sugar levels – sometimes the pancreas becomes unable to produce any insulin at all!
Insulin resistance and excessive sugar intake leads to weight gain, and can make weight loss very difficult. When sugar is eaten in excess, our bodies are unable to use all of that glucose for energy and the excess glucose is sent to the liver, where it is converted to a different form of glucose and stored in your body as fat tissue. Weight gain can then be very difficult if insulin resistance is present, as your body's resistance to the hormone insulin means that your body converts more and more glucose into fat cells rather than processing it as energy.
However, glucose is necessary for brain function. That's right, your brain NEEDS glucose to function. Without glucose – say for example if you went on a low-carb diet and weren't getting enough sugar – your brain will actually send you extremely strong cravings for sugar to ensure that it is getting the glucose it needs. Glucose is the energy that your brain uses to complete all of its extremely complex processes that keep us living, breathing and moving. Without glucose, we would literally become brain-dead. So don't quit sugar altogether.
There are some forms of sugar you should definitely quit. Refined white sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are two of the worst inclusions in any diet. Both of these products place an incredible amount of strain on your pancreas and your entire body, and both contribute absolutely no nutrition or benefit to your health. These forms of sugar contribute to weight gain, fatigue, poor liver health, diminished eye health, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as being linked to higher rates of stress, anxiety, depression and even some types of cancer. Opt for raw, unrefined sugar, brown sugar, honey and other natural sweeteners rather than the highly refined sugars and syrups. Check nutritional labels to determine what sugar is in your food, but basically all processed foods will use the cheapest, nastiest forms of sugar available – so opt for homemade treats over store-bought ones!
To summarise, sugar itself is not the devil. It's when sugar is processed and refined to remove all its minerals and nutrients that it becomes a bigger problem, and consuming any form of sugar in excess is not ideal for your overall health. However, we are all individuals and some people can handle more sugar in their diet than others, so listen to your body and if you are noticing any of the symptoms of imbalanced blood sugar that I mentioned above, you might want to limit your sugar intake (regardless of the type or form of sugar). Remember, your brain NEEDS glucose to function, so don't quit all sugar & carbs! And plus, fruit is so darn delicious and good for you, it'd be a shame to miss out on your favourite fruit every now and then.
So find what works for you as an individual, be sure to give your brain enough glucose to survive, and stay away from those nasty refined sugars and corn syrups.
