Understanding Rapid Weight Loss
Learn to live off of the body’s own fat reserves and rapid weight loss will occur naturally.
Understanding how rapid weight loss occurs begins by knowing the body draws energy from just three reserves: glycogen (carbohydrate), protein and fats.
- First, the body draws energy from simple and complex carbohydrate reserves and when depleted, turns simultaneously to protein and fat reserves for energy.
- Phase 2 Reach 100% of your goal quickly
- Simple and complex carbohydrates can prevent weight loss
- The body stores approximately three days worth of carbohydrates and the diet is specifically designed to take advantage of this fact which means it has a beginning and an end
- Until 100% of the weight loss goal is achieved, sugars are restricted
Why restrict sugars until all weight is lost?
It’s simple! As long as sugar is being consumed, the body is not burning fat! Remember, the first source of energy is derived from glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves. The main principle of the Ideal Protein Diet is to deplete the glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves completely in order to compel the body to turn to its fat reserve to burn calories.
How to Avoid Muscle Loss
- By providing the body with foods that have a high protein value, 97% absorbable, biologically-complete proteins
- By supporting the diet with nutrient-rich supplements essential in muscle building and electrolytes to replace those normally found in foods restricted (only) during the Ideal Protein Diet weight loss phases.
