THE BETA SWITCH: THE NEW STUBBORN FAT SOLUTION FOR WOMEN You might be wondering what happens if you exercise and fast. The answer… You’ll get the benefits of both. In fact, working out while fasted turns off even more alpha receptors and fires up even more beta receptors. Even a 30-60 minute walk while in a fasted state is a turbo blast to your fat loss. If you can’t work out first thing in the morning but still want the benefits of suppressing your alpha receptors and switching on more betas, just make sure it’s been at least 4 hours since your last meal before you exercise. There’s one thing to keep in mind, though. It’s really important to eat enough food if you want to lose fat consistently — too little will shut down your thyroid hormone and ultimate shut off your fat-burning beta receptors. So, if you opt for training and fasting (or even if you’re just fasting) but it seems to be slowing your results instead of improving them, eat slightly larger portions at your other meals. For most people it won’t be an issue, and you should certainly try it without increasing your portions first, but you can always add a little more food if it isn’t working the way you think it should, your energy is lagging, or you’re too hungry. So if you’re interested, try one or both techniques and see what happens for you. If you don’t like them, you can always return to this diet and still see results. Let’s take a look at other ways you can influence your beta receptors and your “stubborn fat set point.” Balance Your Hormones Your hormones may also play a large role in where you store fat.
