Muscle Nerd Articles Low Carb...Is It REALLY The Best Way To Burn FatLow Carb...Is It REALLY The Best Way To Burn Fat?
Ok...bottom line...do "low carb" diets burn fat?
In a word?
YES!
A recent study of 87 long term studies have proven that when it
comes to burning body fat, reducing your carb intake DOES work best.
BUT...
"Low carb" diets can be VERY frustrating for most people and hard
to stick to.
As an experiment last year, I went 10 full days with ZERO
carbohydrates.
I mean, not even a blade of GRASS in my diet...straight
protein...not a single carb or gram of fat in sight.
I went INSANE!
No, I don't mean that "figuratively"...I mean I literally went
INSANE!
I went from near sobbing fits over my computer not working properly
to hysterical laughter at the thought of even undertaking such an
experiment.
You see, your brain NEEDS carbs just to function properly so doing
without any at all was an extreme example of how your body does
need to get some carbs to function.
So here's a tip from the "Muscle Nerd Looney Bin" on how to easily
burn fat the "low carb" way from my Combat The Fat program
(http://www.combatthefat.com)...
>> >> Separate "Dry" Carbs From "Wet" Carbs
This is a little twist I've created in Combat The Fat that allows
you to EASILY reduce the WRONG kind of carbs WITHOUT counting
calories and NEVER going hungry.
You need more carbs on training days to recover your muscle so you
can consume 2-3 servings of "Dry Carbs" on those days (like
oatmeal, pasta, bread, etc.)
"Wet Carbs" include most vegetables and fruits and don't contain a
lot of carbs so you can eat MUCH more of these each day.
Use them as "fillers" in your diet to keep from getting hungry and
helping you avoid the real culprits...those "dry carbs".
I know this is a very different way of looking at "food" and
doesn't really follow the normal "low carb" pattern.
But it's a glimpse of the way that I'VE structured the RIGHT way to
use "low carb" to lose weight and forms one of the foundations of
the Combat The Fat "Daily Eating Guide".
Hope it helps!
