Remember, nothing causes us to burn fat faster than starvation. But…starvation has
negative consequences on our lean body mass. So, ideally, we want the body to
“think” we are starving so that it is breaking down triglycerides and burning that fat
for our energy needs.
Since the body relies primarily on carbohydrates for its energy, when we remove
those carbohydrates, the body will be forced to get its fuel elsewhere. Now, in the
case of starvation, the body would normally begin to break down lean body mass
for glucose (energy) via a process known as glucogenesis. However, since we are
“sneaking” small amounts of protein to the body, we end up getting all the “benefits”
of starvation without the loss of our precious lean body mass.
Now, glucogenesis will be completed by using the protein we are getting from our
diet which spares our lean body mass. And, consuming less carbohydrates increases
glucogenic activity. The presence of glucogenic activity means we cannot store fat
because that glucogenic activity needs all the fat it can get to be able to fuel the
glucogenic process. In other words, glucogenesis requires a lot of energy…and it will
burn even more fat to supply that energy.
This results in the ability to turn our bodies into a 24/7 fat burning machine. And
needless to say, maximizing the hours that your body is burning fat in a day is the
ultimate key to a sexy, lean body. Again, your body NEEDS energy on a 24/7 basis.
Without carbohydrates, your body is forced to turn to an alternate fuel source to
keep you running all day long.
So, let’s get now get our bodies revved up to burn body fat on a 24/7 basis.
