If you
have found it difficult to lose weight because you succumb to endless cravings
, then the problem could be the way you eat , or not eat , carbohydrates.
Studies show that your carbohydrate intake affects the levels of a hormone
called leptin in your body .
When leptin is high your cravings disappear, but
if you do not know how to maintain high levels of leptin while dieting ,
cravings will be your downfall.
Main
job of leptin is to prevent you from starving . To do its job , it triggers
cravings when you do not eat enough food and it prevents stored in your body to
burn the calories you cut fat. As you probably see leptin can turn against you
if you are dieting.
To
stimulate leptin you want to eat more carbohydrates . Hmmm, is not the opposite
of what you're supposed to go on a diet ? Well yes , and confusion about
carbohydrates is why so many dieters frustrated with diet and quit.
However,
there is a simple secret that you can follow that will allow you to
"trick" your body by keeping leptin levels high as you diet so that
you can turn your body into a fat burning machine and avoid cravings. And the
trick might surprise you
!
The
secret to keeping leptin levels to burn up fat as you work to lose weight is to
"cheat" . In other words , you want to add a high - carb and high fat
meals in your weekly diet . In a study conducted on students ( the classic
"guinea pigs" ) researchers found that a high carbohydrate meal is
the best way to restore leptin levels return to normal . There were similar
results for meals that contain high fat.
Here
is the paradox of leptin. If you are dieting your leptin levels drop
dramatically. When leptin is low your body can not burn body fat and you are
struck by terrible cravings. This is the way to protect yourself from starving
your body. To stimulate leptin and get rid of cravings that you need to eat a
high carbohydrate meal.
By
adding a cheat meal per week to your strict diet you increase leptin levels
back to normal and not only your body to start burning fat again, but you also
need a break from the regime.
But do
you gain weight the Cheat meals?
Because
carbohydrates are a nutrient type that makes you retain water (in fact every
gram of carbohydrates holds three grams of water in your body ) you will gain
" water weight " after a cheat meal. However, because you go
immediately to your weight loss routine after the meal, you can easily lose
weight and water at the end of each week, you will have a steady loss of fat in
the long term.
Adding
a weekly meal to your low carb diet cheat is a great way to stick to your
weight loss plan . But if I told you there was an even easier to maintain your
leptin levels to burn fat and boost your metabolism high average?

this something you 'd be interested?
