FAT LOSS SECRET #2...

AVOID THE “DEADLY COMBINATION”

By using just the one strategy listed below, you will immediately be able to eat 300-500 additional calories each day without putting on a single extra ounce of fat.

Why would eating more be beneficial? Well, remember our last secret--The more you eat, the less likely it is that your body will turn to its nasty starvation defenses.

And I don’t know anyone who would be opposed to eating more food when watching their diet, do you? More calories = greater satiation and fullness; two things that go a long way when it comes to actually sticking to the plan.

So what’s the secret to eating more without the fat gain? It has to do with avoiding one simple combination: carbohydrates + fat.

To understand why this combination is such a big no-no, let’s analyze what happens in the body when the two nutrients are combined.

When fat is ingested, a good amount of fat is released into the blood stream. Now how about carbohydrates? Not only does carbohydrate digestion release plenty of sugar into the blood, but it also causes the pancreas to secrete large quantities of the hormone insulin.

Insulin, also known as the storage hormone, functions to shuttle nutrients present in the blood, including fat, to their respective storage sites.

To simplify the whole scenario:

Carbs + fat = insulin + fat.

Insulin (storage hormone) + fat = fat storage.

Now, of course fat can be stored even without insulin, but a ton of insulin resulting from carbohydrate ingestion certainly makes the job easier. Start avoiding the combination and you should see immediate results.

Again, some practical advice I’ve been saying for awhile: Eat protein with every meal and choose to combine it with either carbohydrates or fat, never both. And don't combine carbs and fat in the complete absence of protein (i.e. cookies, pastries, chips, bread & butter, pastas with cream sauce, etc).

And remember, this suggestion is referring to the majority of your diet. About 10% of the time, it’s certainly more than fine to indulge a bit in some carbs + fat containing foods.

So, avoid the deadly combination 90% of the time, and the other 10% of the time, indulge away. Everything in moderation!
