Fat burning diet was introduced by Jay Robb, a well-known Nutritionist who
suffered hypoglycemia. The main reason for this diet is to stabilize his very own sugar levels which were causing his condition at that time. Some people think that fat burning diet is formulated as a weight loss diet but Robb argued that it was written and published not for this reason but to increase the energy level of the dieters. He said that once the level of energy is increased, the excess weight of the dieter is lost simultaneously without effort.
The Basics of Fat Burning Diet
Unlike low carb diet that often leaves the dieters weak and prone to illness, this fat burning diet’s solution is to have a cycle of low carb and high carb days. His diet is consist of 3 meals and once in every week, the dieter is allowed to eat whatever they feel like eating but only for a total of one hour. The reason of alternating the cycle of low and high carb is for the manipulation of the glycogen metabolism which causes the burning of fat; it will not be stored in the body anymore.
In addition, good selection of food or sources of good carbohydrates for fat burning diet must be incorporated. It must also be noted that the wrong choices of carbohydrates can cause fatigability and drowsiness. Sweet potatoes and pasta are good selection of good carbohydrates as well as wheat bread and wide array of fruits like apples, lemon, oranges, grapes, strawberries and blueberries.
Protein is also essential as well as good fats. The intake of good protein is the key to the stabilization of the dieter’s sugar level and will certainly give the dieter enough energy all throughout the day. Thus, there is no need to worry about being hungry if you are following the basic guidelines on what and when to eat.
Jay Robb also emphasized the need to do exercises such as daily walks and some weight training to increase muscle power. Jogging and running can also be included in your daily regimen.
But Jay Robb said that the diet itself is the most important thing that dieter should concentrate on if the dieter’s main intention is to lose weight.
Whether you decide to burn fat gradually or quickly, your health must always be considered. There is no better way than to ask your Doctor the appropriate way of burning fat.
