Anyway you eat sugar, if you eat more than your body needs you will store it. Once insulin is elevated no fat burning can take place! Even if you cycled ten miles into work you wouldn’t burn fat for fuel if you got to the office and had an itty bitty muffin. Sugar will shut down your fat burning engine.
Think of insulin as an A-Type personality that only wants its’ sugars to be metabolized before anything else. Insulin will push its’ way around the system until all fat (stored fat and dietary fat) is dormant and stored and not circulating.
If you regulate insulin you will regulate fat burning. Here is a one day diet to kick start you into fat burning.
Hormone Response Meal Plan:
Breakfast:
Delay breakfast after your workout for up to one hour.
2 poached eggs, 3 strips of bacon or sausage, 1 sliced tomato with salt, pepper and olive oil
1-2 cups coffee with cream (not milk or half and half)
Lunch 12-1:30pm
1tin tuna fish or salmon with 1tbsp mayonnaise mixed on 2-3 cups green leafy vegetables, cucumber, tomato, avacado with garlic, salt, pepper, oil of choice (no vinegar)
Dinner 6pm – 7:30pm
6-8oz steak
6 spears asparagus with butter
mixed salad with pine nuts
1- 3oz glass of wine
Go to bed early. Note how you feel in the morning. If you feel as if you lost water and have less distention in your lower belly (digestion of oligosaccharides) this might be a plan for you. Try it for another day. If you need more starch add green vegetables.
Please let me know how it works for you.
Keep up the good work.
