Fat loss isn't about deprivation. And staying trim isn't about having good genes. It's about hormonally programming your body to burn fat.
And that's exactly what the easy-to-follow tips and intelligent ingredients I'll go over will do for you! In fact, not only does this way of eating work to shed fat fast... it will help you keep it off forever!
Here are the four fat-melting mantras you must follow to unveil a sleeker, sexier YOU:
1. Stop the blood sugar spike:
Eating carb- and sugar-rich foods spikes your blood sugar and causes your body to produce insulin - the "fat-storage hormone". The number one way to send your body the metabolic message to slim down and burn fat is to limit carbs, keep your sugar intake low and avoid grains.
2. Power up your fat burning with protein:
Protein is the most thermogenic - or fat burning - nutrient on the planet. That's because it stimulates glucagon - the "weight loss hormone". But be sure to choose clean proteins - like grass-fed dairy products and pastured, cage-free eggs. Otherwise, you'll get a hefty dose of obesogens - compounds that mess up your metabolism and stifle your weight loss efforts. Be sure to include a source of protein with every meal or snack.
3. Feast on fat:
Think a low-fat diet is the way to a sleeker you? Think again. Healthy fats - like those found in wild coldwater fish and those in nuts, nut flours, avocados, and olive oil (called monounsaturated fats) are metabolic power ingredients. Another healthy fat to include is coconut oil. As a medium chain triglyceride (MCT), the body uses these unique fats for fuel, not storage. And what about saturated fats? If you're eating grass-fed products (like butter, milk, ghee, kefir) you're getting an excellent fat profile that includes a very unique fat-burning fat called conjugated linolenic acid (CLA). CLA is so effective at burning fat that it is made into a supplement for that very purpose. To keep your metabolism cranking on all cylinders, be sure to include a serving of healthy fats at every meal.
4. Use healthy flours:
Take a close look at the flour you use. Many bakers (even so-called "healthy" bakers) choose whole grain flours over refined white flours. But whole grain flours are still very high in carbohydrates and score high on the glycemic index. And when it comes to your waistline and health, that's a really bad thing. High glycemic foods cause your blood sugar to spike, raising your levels of insulin, the "fat-storage hormone." Eating high glycemic foods promotes weight gain. If you want to avoid "muffin tops" and "dough boy bellies" then you MUST stay away from grain based flours. And here's another reason to avoid traditional flours: Most are made from wheat and contain gluten - an allergenic protein that causes health issues for many people.
But what about gluten-free flours and baking mixes?
Unfortunately, most gluten free flours use a combination of high glycemic ingredients like rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour and sorghum flour. So while the gluten is missing, all the blood sugar-spiking effects are still there. Don't be fooled.
The good news is that there is a healthy, low glycemic, gluten free option you can use: Nut flours!
Nut flours are surprisingly versatile and lend buttery richness to all kinds of baked goods - from biscotti to cupcakes. And unlike grain-based flours, they are gluten free and low carb too!
If you follow these simple tips you'll be well on your way to a slimmer body!
