Rotate "Carbs" for Rapid Fat Loss

Rotate "Carbs" for Rapid Fat Loss
Millions of people have tried both "low-carb" and "no-carb"
approaches in an attempt to lose weight quickly. But few
have tried a much safer and healthier approach known as
Carb Rotation. It is a much more effective and realistic
method of rapid fat loss.

There are two general approaches to Carb Rotating. The
first approach is to follow a "no, no, no, high carb"
program. This means you would eat no carbohydrates at all
for the first three days and then eat a "high" amount of
carbohydrates on for the fourth day. The fifth day you are
back to eating "no carbs" again.

This plan can be effective, but you have to be very strict.
It is an aggressive approach that may trigger your
starvation response. Yes, the very same starvation response
which causes elevation of a hormone called lipoprotein
lipase. When this hormone becomes elevated your metabolism
begins to slow down. And since that is the last thing
anyone who is trying to get rid of unwanted pounds wants,
it is not the approach I recommend.

Additionally, when people deprive themselves completely of
"carbs" for three days they have a tendency to:

1) Go completely overboard with carbohydrate consumption on
the fourth day of the rotation.

2) Not be able to go back to the three days of carbohydrate
deprivation resulting in failure of the program.

The much more common sense approach is to follow a "high,
low, no carb" program. There is much more room for error
with this type of plan. It is much easier to follow and
leads to much greater success.

Rotating your "carbs" in this manner allows you to shed fat
and keep your metabolism elevated, which is the key to long
term weight loss. There is a consistent transition with a
"high, low, no" approach because every fourth day you
repeat the cycle and you aren't depriving yourself of
"carbs" for three days straight. And again: potentially
triggering the elevation of lipoprotein lipase.

We tend to eat too many "carbs", we eat improper "carbs"
and we don't eat enough protein in our diet. But by
following the guidelines laid out in a "high, low, no carb"
program we are manipulating the blood sugars and insulin
response in our body to achieve rapid fat loss. Rotating
Carbs allows you to control and manipulate your blood
sugars and insulin response so you are allowing your body
to burn more calories for energy instead of storing "carbs"
as fat. This means you are shedding fat and increasing your
metabolism. Two very good things!

If you have been desiring rapid fat loss and are struggling
with seeing success then give carb rotating a try and you
will be surprised at how fast the fat melts off your body.
