The first two articles in this series discussed various aspects of the best fat burning diet. These included what not to do to burn body fat effectively while maintaining your training intensity as well as how to reduce your carbohydrate intake by "halving" them over a period of time. This third article in the series will report on what you can expect when you implement this diet strategy.
In a previous article the general recommendation was made to cut your intake of carbs in half for five days, then increase it back to your previous level for two days. You would continue to repeat this cycle until you have achieved the desired effect (i.e. you have reduced your body fat to the level you want).
What effect can you expect from this cycle? After the initial five days of depleting your carbs you can expect to see a loss of 1/2 to 1.5 pounds. This will vary from person to person. You may lose more or less. What happens when you increase your carbs? You may experience some weight gain. Don't be alarmed. This is normally due to water retention. Once you return to your 5 day carb reduction you should hit a lower bodyweight than you did previously. It's an amazing transformation!
This best fat burning diet strategy can have remarkable results. By chance you don't hit a new low after one of your 5 day cycles you will want to incorporate the following strategy. You will have to reduce your carb intake even more than before. Do this by limiting your carbs to 2 meals only on 2 days of the 5 day cycle. So the other three meals on those days would consist of only protein. Your carbs should be ingested at the first meal of the day and then before training. This will further restrict your carb intake and will cause glycogen levels to drop further causing your body to burn additional fat.
One last thing to consider. If you do have to resort to limiting your carbs to 2 meals on 2 days then you should increase your protein intake on those days. Increase the protein by at least one-third. This will help protect your body from potential muscle loss which is a risk of low carbohydrates diet.
Applying this best fat burning diet strategy will be effective in reducing your body fat and helping you get that ripped and shredded look. Combine this with a well-thought out work out plan and you can achieve the body that you want.
