I’m sure you’ve heard all the different and crazy rules pertaining to carp consumption. After all we have the Atkins diet, South Beach diet, Sears diet, and plenty of other low-carb diets.
With so many low-carb diets out there it makes you wonder if they are the best fat burning diet around. Would it be that popular, could that many people be wrong if a low-carb diet didn’t work.
The long and short of it, low-carb diets have been proven to help burn body fat. Just ask any professional bodybuilder what they do to shed the fat to get into the low single digits and get shredded for competition.
Low-carb diets do work, but only if you can stick to it. In Western cultures, carbs was the most prevalent food source available, so to eliminate or greatly reduce carb intake is extremely difficult and can be very frustrating for a majority of people.
As a little experiment my buddy the muscle nerd Jeff Anderson went 10 entire days without one carb in his diet. He told me that he didn’t have any, nothing, not even a bread crumb in the way of carbohydrates.Anyway, he said he went crazy. He told me he went from one extreme to the other, one moment he was laughing hysterically, the next he was sobbing over the fact that his computer was working properly.
With respect to food, there are four things the body needs to function properly:
- water
- fat
- carbohydrates
- protein
If you eliminate any one of those from your diet, the body will react negatively. Carbohydrates are a major fuel source for the brain. Cutting out carbs only effective for fat burning, is detrimental to mental processing and other biological functions. Just ask any professional bodybuilder how much energy they have for their workouts may reduce the carbs to cut for competition.
Take a look at combat the fat, for practical approach to burning fat will still enjoying carbohydrates.
in the Combat the Fat Program, Jeff talks about limiting your intake of dry carbs, and replace them fill up with wet carbs. This little twists allows you to reduce the more troublesome carbohydrates, but never leaves you hungry or counting calories.
On training days an increase in carbs helps you recover. So on these days you can take advantage of that fact can have more things like oatmeal, pasta, bread, etc. In the Combats The Program, Jeff refers to these as dry carbs, wet carbs are fruits and vegetables.
While you follow the Combat the Flat Program, you are encouraged to fill up on the wet carbs. These provide an excellent source of nutrition, and provide some bulk to help prevent you from getting hungry. They also offer an excellent alternative to more carb rich foods or high calorie foods.
