to bring in a second high
carb day. Basically, if you
go low carbs for too long, your
body will start to slow your
metabolic rate and switch to
starvation mode. This means
your body will start to try
and hold on to fat as an
emergency back-up fuel and
burn muscle instead. The key
to fat loss is to keep the
metabolism high. To achieve
this we have to bring in high
days so the body doesn’t start
to think it’s starving.”
