HOW TO GET THIN As I’ve pointed out, the fastest and easiest way to lose weight is to stop using dietary carbohydrates for energy and to start burning our own body fat instead. Once you restrict carbohydrates from your diet (and keep protein intake up), your body has absolutely no choice but to break down and burn body fat for the fuel it needs. When your fat cells begin breaking down those stubborn triglycerides (the stored, stubborn body fat that is stuck inside the fat cells) and releases those fatty acids back into the bloodstream to be used for energy, your fat cells get smaller…and so do you! You will be truly amazed at just how much fat you will burn once you restrict carbohydrates from your diet. Remember, your body needs fuel all day long… It needs fuel to blink, think, talk and walk… It needs fuel for everything you do. On The 2 Week Diet, we will use nothing but stored, gooey body fat to keep us going. Losing weight on The 2 Week Diet is a matter of strategic eating—it’s a combination of reduced carbohydrates and eating very specific types of proteins and fats that are consumed in the appropriate amounts at just the right time. This diet alone will produce amazing weight loss. However, by following The 2 Week Diet exercise program, we can nearly double our weight loss goals, while obtaining some very favorable body composition changes. The 2 Week Diet - Launch Handbook | 34
