My Fat Loss Diet

Low Carb High Protein Fat Loss Diet

100 grams of carbs per day. This is the magic baseline number for my fat loss diet.

You can read why this level of carbs is near perfection here.

Every time you eat carbs your body secretes insulin to store those carbs. Too many carbohydrates end up getting stored as body fat. And the more carbs you eat, the more you crave. It becomes a vicious cycle.

Your body also become resistant to carb intake. The body has to produce more and more insulin just to keep up with what you are shoveling in your mouth.

You want to be insulin sensitive. You want your body to be a sponge and soak up nutrients when you eat.

If you are a carb chugging eating machine you will not be insulin sensitive.

My Fat Loss Diet Plan

What individuals are lean? Bodybuilders and fitness competitors.

How do they do this?

They monitor their carb intake. Protein stays high. Around 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight(or higher) to maintain lean muscle mass. Healthy fat intake is also high to make up for the deficit in calories caused by reducing carb intake.

A wholesale cut in calories in NOT the answer. This will cause the metabolism to slow and may end up in you STORING body fat.

Low Carb High Protein Fat Loss Diet

100 grams carbs = 400 calories
210 gram protein = 840 calories
80-90 grams fat = 720-810 calories

I will have a carb up day once per week where I will increase my carbs to 150 grams.

Progress will be monitored weekly and adjustments made as needed.
