for you to
Keep in mind that our body is in constant need of energy—it needs energy whether
we are out for a morning jog, cooking dinner, sitting on the sofa watching television
or lying in bed sleeping. While we tend to think we only need energy when we are
physically exerting ourselves, you need to keep in mind that there is a lot your body
is doing “behind the scenes” even while you sleep. The fact is, our bodies are at work
24/7 to keep us healthy and functioning. And because of that, the body needs to
fuel its work on a non-stop basis for as long as we live.
Another thing to keep in mind is that YOU can make a decision to have your body
running on carbohydrates or have it running on fat. On The 2 Week Diet, we will shift
from carbohydrate burning to high-octane fat burning instead.
Contrary to popular belief, fat flows in an out of your fat cells (in the form of fatty
acids), on a continuous basis throughout the day, making itself available to be used
for energy. The problem is…this fat cannot and will not be used for energy unless
your insulin levels are way down. Insulin, however, will not be down so long as you’re
eating carbohydrates.
Now, when we eat three meals per day and everything is working properly, your
body will become fatter after eating a carbohydrate-rich meal and then, leaner in
between meals after all the carbohydrates have been burned and the body begins to
burn fat because it has run out of carbohydrates.
