THE 3-WEEK DIET—INTRODUCTION MANUAL
Since the body relies primarily on carbohydrates for its energy, when we remove those carbohy-
drates, 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 in a day that you body is burning fat 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.
