METABOLIC TRICKERY: HOW TO LOSE FAT




The trick to keep going down in body fat is all down to simple metabolic trickery.
While at this point, the instinct of many athletes is to eliminate carbs from their training diet and go on a ketogenic diet (replacing carbs with fats), this may not necessarily be the best strategy.
It may be a good idea eliminating carbs from your diet as it initially brings about some results in the way of less water retention and a sudden drop in weight, but when you cut carbs very low for long periods of time (without cycling), you eventually plateau in terms of how much body fat you can lose. Long term carb reduction eventually begins to reduce the number of calories your body burns each day. And this ultimately means that your metabolic rate will lower to the point where you're at maintenance, and you are unable to burn additional body fat.

By including higher carb days 1 or 2 days a week helps kick up your metabolic rate overall so that youíll continue to burn body fat. This occurs through a reduction of thyroid hormone production (which is the hormone responsible for keeping the metabolism high)
So instead of just eliminating carbs from the diet, a better way to accomplish fat loss is through the use of an advanced technique called carbohydrate cycling.
The premise behind carb cycling is that you deplete your carbohydrate stores, allowing your body to exhaust muscle glycogen and burn body fat. Carb cycling is a process used to help bodybuilders and athletes alike to drop body fat. If you consume more caloric energy than your body needs, the extra will be converted to stored glycogen and fat.
There are various types of this diet, one version is where you have a High Carb, Low Carb and No Carb Days
Generally, the three days are rotated, or cycled, equally but carbohydrate manipulation is the key here, By lowering and eliminating the carbohydrates for a few days the body is put into a fat burning state, by having a high carbohydrate day the helps prevent metabolic slowdown and also allows you the opportunity to have better energy levels throughout the fat loss process and this could even result in the gain of muscle tissue.
If you cannot cope with not having any carbs at all then you can also carb cycle by having 3 low days followed by 1 high day, it is important to stress that the high day should be on a day when you a most likely to be exerting the most amount of energy, an example of this would be if you were training legs on this day, it is also important to eat carbs at the correct time of day as carbs are readily available for energy shortly after you consume them. The times of day when you need them most are when you first awake, and before and after your workouts

Here is a list of the carbohydrates which you should be consuming:

• Sweet Potatoes/Yams
• Wholegrain rice
• Rolled Oatmeal
• 100% Whole Wheat Bread (if you need bread this is the best choice. darker the better)
• Beans/Legumes
• Granny Smith Apples

Here is a list of protein based foods products which you should be consuming:

• Tuna (drained well)
• Salmon
• Chicken (skinless)
• Turkey
• Lean Beef/Steak
• Whey
• Cottage Cheese
• Skim Milk
• Peanuts

Here is a list of fats you should be consuming:

• Sesame Seeds/Sesame Seed Extract
• Flax Seeds and Flax Seed Oil
• Fish Oil
• Hempseed
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Natural Peanut Butter
• Walnuts
• Cashews
• Almonds
• Pecans

Each time you go through a cycle of 3 days of low carbs followed by one day of high carbs you will be essentially re feeding your body thus helping to burn body fat and retaining, or even gaining, muscle.

By sticking to this diet this simple manipulation technique will have you shedding the lbs before the summer is out.

high fat? remember diff in sat and unsat....both are needed, but genrally the lower the carb, the higher the unsat ....in abstract

[Greenegorilla2]
