Body 4 Believers is based on Greg Locklear’s weight loss journey (see story, this page) and 1 Corinthians 6:19, which says, “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.”
It’s also based on Locklear’s studies on insulin and blood sugar.
Blood sugar, or blood glucose, is the amount of glucose in the blood at any one time. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy. The pancreas releases insulin to keep blood sugar from reaching dangerously high levels after consuming a candy bar or sugary drink.
Locklear describes insulin as the “trash truck” of the body, carrying energy from food and storing it as fat. But if blood sugar is controlled and insulin levels are kept low, then the body will use food energy instead of converting it to flab.
Body 4 Believers participants receive a business card with seven key food combinations to prevent blood sugar spikes:
• Lean protein
• Lean protein and fibrous carb, such as green beans or turnip greens
• Lean protein, fibrous carb and natural carb, such as potatoes
• Fatty protein and fibrous carb
• Balanced foods, such as peanut butter, some cereals and certain beans, that contain a balance of proteins, carbs and fats
• A balanced food and fibrous carb
• “Believer-approved” options, which include homemade recipes carefully calculated to ensure a healthy balance of carbs, fats and proteins
With these combinations, the pounds slide off quickly — and healthfully.
“It works every time, for every Believer,” Locklear said. (TAB)
