Subject: Are you a "Carb Burner" or a "Fat Burner"? (short quiz)
Because
bottom line...if you're a "Carb
Burner," this could be KILLING your
fat-loss results...
You're going to have a much harder time losing fat
than
somebody who is a "Fat Burner."
If your body's preferred fuel is sugar/carbs...well, that
is
what it's going to burn INSTEAD of bodyfat, any chance
it gets.
And there IS a way to fix it, which I'll get into below, after the
quiz.
Let's get started...
Carb Burner or Fat Burner
Quiz
Question
#1 - True or False...If you go without carbs for more
than a few hours, you get an energy crash, dizziness or a
headache.
Question
#2 - True or False...You need to have some carbs
to eat before you have enough energy to train with any intensity.
Question
#3 - True or False...You can't fall asleep at night
unless you eat some carbs in the evening.
Question
#4 - True or False...If you don't eat carbs for a good
part of the day, you start to feel nauseous.
Question
#5 - True or False...When you go on a diet, you have
a lot of stubborn fat all over your body that refuses to go anywhere.
RESULTS:
If
you answered TRUE to one or more of these questions, you
are likely a Carb Burner...and the more questions you answered
"true" to, the more your body relies on carbs as your major
energy source and the harder it will be for you to lose fat.
Now, the reason you're a Carb Burner is simple...your eating
patterns and activity patterns have favored the "carb burning"
machinery in your body to be more active over the "fat burning"
machinery.
You basically haven't given your body a REASON to switch to
fat as a primary energy source.
It could be...
1. The types of foods you've been eating...
...if you eat low-fat foods all the time, your body hasn't had
the
need to fully develop the cellular "machinery" required
to
efficiently burn fat for fuel. It turns to carbs/sugars...and when
they're not available, you get an energy crash. When you're
burning fat...no energy crash, even when you don't eat for
long periods.
2. The types of exercise you've been doing...
...long-duration, slow cardio does burn a somewhat greater
percentage of fat for energy WHILE you're doing it, but has
very little impact on your overall metabolic rate...which is
where the REAL fat-burning results are. Your body uses fat
to help fuel the recovery process...if you've got nothing
challenging to recover from, your body won't demand much
from your fat stores!
3. You've never really FORCED it to burn fat for energy
as a preferred fuel source...
...your body is a very efficient machine in many ways. And
one of those ways is that it will do as little as possible to deal
with the demands placed on it as a survival mechanism. If
you've always fueled yourself with carbs and never forced
your body to burn fat for energy, it has no reason to learn
HOW to really use fat for energy.
---
Don't get me wrong, though...I'm not saying carbs are
somehow bad or evil...carbs are just fine. It's just important
to know how and when to best eat them so that they work
FOR you, not against you.
Now...what if there was a way to RESET your body's fat burning
switch so that your body burns fat FIRST every time you move
and exercise?
Well there IS.
It's a super simple 3-step metabolic primer from my colleague,
and Stubborn Fat Expert, Shaun Hadsall that TURNS OFF your
body's "addiction" to burning sugars, while making your
most
stubborn fat your "go to" energy source in ONLY 3 or 4 days.
STEP #1: Try to consume zero starches or fruits for 3 or 4
days in a row during the week.
This will help accelerate depletion of glycogen (your stored energy)
and get your body burning fat again. This should equate to a total
of 25 to 50 impact carbs for the day. Consume protein in every
meal to help increase satiety and keep your body in "fat burning
mode".
You'll program your body to burn a ton more belly fat by using this
approach a just a few days of the week.
STEP #2: Increase your fats and double your servings
of green cruciferous veggies on "deplete" days.
When you lower carbs for a few days you'll automatically need
energy from other sources. Friendly fats and cruciferous
veggies should be your go-to macronutrients to help provide
this needed energy.
Some good examples to use are extra fish or krill oil, olive oil,
coconut oil, grass fed butter and small amounts of raw nuts
for fats -- spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus,
arugula, green beans, Brussels sprouts and cabbage are
great choices for extra veggies.
This will help provide all the fiber, vitamins, and minerals
necessary to maximize fat-loss during a lower carb phase.
It will also decrease your cravings in a BIG way.
STEP #3: Double your daily water intake when you
deplete carbs.
Remember, for EVERY gram of carbs you eat over the
weekend (or any other time) your body holds nearly 3 grams
of water.
So if you had a few slices of pizza, some bread and a bowl
of ice cream we're talking an extra 700 to 1000 grams of
water sitting under your skin.
Consuming extra water is the fastest way to UNDO the
damage of over-eating, getting rid of excess water retention,
and facilitating other metabolic processes that burn fat.
A good rule of thumb is to consume at least 50-60% of your
total body weight in ounces of water a few days after
overeating.
After 3 or 4 days of using this strategy, your body and
hormones will be PRIMED to burn PURE fat when you exercise.
Next, you just have to make sure you're using the RIGHT TYPE
of exercise...or all this could be nothing but a waste of your
time and energy.
That's why Shaun created the 7
Day Ab Targeted Solution.
It's specifically designed to release fat-burning adrenaline,
while quickly targeting stubborn fat from your WORST trouble
spots.
And it's proven to DOUBLE the fat burning effect of 3 step
nutrition approach above in ONLY 12 short minutes per day:
