Chapter 2: Secrets of How the Body Really WorksChapter 2: Secrets of How the Body Really Works
The Theta*Genix program is designed to maximize the storage of energy as
muscle and as glycogen stores, and minimize the storage of energy as fat. This
is done via calorie and carbohydrate cycling eating program, presented in
Chatper 5. However, here we will explore the theory behind why this eating
program works so well.
Your body will store fat most readily when its glycogen stores are full, and you
eat large amounts of carbohydrates and fat. When this occurs the insulin
response causes the extra energy to be stored as body fat, causing you to gain
weight. Hence, the Theta*Genix strategic eating program minimizes the
situations where you eat lots of carbohydrates and fat together, especially when
your body is in a glycogen-filled state.
Similarly, when your body digests more protein than it can use at any given time
(which for most people is somewhere between 20-45 grams of protein every
three hours), the excess energy tends to be stored as fat. Hence, the
Theta*Genix strategic eating program avoids taking in excessive amounts of
protein at one time by eating smaller, more frequent meals.
It is also interesting to note that insulin transports glycogen from your
bloodstream into the cells of your body most efficiently during and after periods of
exercise. (This is why many people with type 2 diabetes are instructed to
exercise.) So, in order to maximize the storage of excess carbohydrates as
glycogen stores instead of fat, the Theta*Genix eating program times the eating
of large amounts of carbohydrates to occur during periods when your body's
glycogen stores have been depleted. This causes your body to release insulin
which shuttles the excess glycogen straight into the muscles and the liver, filling
your body with energy and keeping the metabolism high and out of “starvation
mode”, without creating additional fat stores.
