Spiritual Weight Loss

You can easily determine the caloric composition of a meal by reading nutritional
labels and using the following reference:
1g of protein = 4 calories
1g of carbohydrate = 4 calories
1g of fat = 9 calories
Eating this way has many benefits:
 By varying the number of calories you eat, the body is tricked into staying
out of starvation mode, because it never goes more than 2-3 days without
getting a high calorie day. High carb days replenish muscle glycogen
stores, keep the metabolism high. The hormone leptin is tied to calories,
and t3 hormone is produced by the thyroid and regulates the metabolism.
With high calorie days, these levels stay high and keep the body out of
starvation mode!
 By eating high protein, low carb meals most of the time, your body creates
a calorie deficit that causes it to burn stored fat (assuming you have
proper nutritional support.)
 Eating high protein meals increases the thermal effect of the foods you
eat, which is the number of calories the body must burn to simply digest
the food. (Thermal effects cancel out approximately 20% of the calories in
protein, 5% in carbs, and 3% in fats – and it is the body's high efficiency in
utilizing calories from fat that have given fat a bad name in the dieting
community!)
 Eating low protein, high carb, low fat meals on your high calorie days
optimizes the storage of glycogen in the muscle cells.
 Varying the kinds and amounts of food you eat is much easier
psychologically than eating the same kinds of foods and same amounts of
food every day.
