3 Carb Depleting Tricks You Can Use to

DoubleYour Fat-Loss After a Weekend Binge

We’ve got to admit, we all “cheat” on our diets or go a little overboard on the weekends once in a while – you, me, EVERYBODY does it.

It’s just human nature and the way we’re ‘wired’ in today’s crazy world with convenience just around the corner.

If you’re really keen on burning an insane amount of fat WITHOUT obsessing over food all the time, constantly being cranky and irritable because you feel restricted, or worryingabout eating too many carbs and calories every frickin’ day – then you need the right strategy.

After all, WHO wants to deal with the pain and suffering of dieting down all the time?

It’s like taking a power drill to your head every day and every day and every day. OK…maybe it’s not THAT bad.But close.

If you’re anything like me, this is what leads to automatically associating misery and sacrifices with burning fat and losing weight.

We can fantasize about our leanest body all day long, but the bottom line is:

Extreme dieting is a pain in the butt.

And even if you’re one of the millions of people that has radically damaged and altered your metabolism from years of unhealthy eating, inconsistency or yo-yo dieting…

It’s Really NOT Your Fault.

The fact is, even though there are loads of weight loss plans that work, they’re specifically designed to be temporary. A quick fix. A short cut. That’s why more than 95% of people who “diet” gain all (or more) of the weight back within one year of losing it.

But – what you could make fat loss easier to stick to and enjoy? A way to strategically eat carbs and cheat foods as your best fat burning friends and kiss goodbye to diets – forever?

Well believe it or not, YOU have amazing fat burning potential right inside you. That’s right. At the end of the day we’re all human, and if others can do it, so can you.

It’s NOT about genetic superiority or

luck of the draw.

It’s about how you play the game.

And when you uncover how to use food Macro-Patterning™, you’ll see how you can easily make stubborn lower abdominal fat your primary “go to” energy source without old-school “dieting”.

Simply put, it’s your key to fix your broken metabolism and look your best ever – the fun way.

But first, it’s crucial to understand that there’s a specific pattern to how your body responds to food intake so carb cycling can work on your body properly.

Just remember that your body is always trying to evaluate and adapt to how much energy you’re taking in (calories and macro-nutrients) vs. how much energy you’re expending (burning off).

So you could think of your body like ‘the ultimate survivor’…

To survive, your body has to keep the amount of energy it takes in and the amount of energy it burns off in balance.

So to conquer the fastest fat loss possible… all you have to do is manipulatewhere your body gets its energy, and force it you use your own fat as your go-to energy.

Remember, the moment your body knows you’re on a diet, it will start thinking ‘Oh my god, starvation!!!‘ and hold onto as much body fat as it can get hold of.

Your brain tells your body’s systems to do whatever they can to conserve energy. That means shut down body temperature, slow your digestion, and slow down your metabolism, so it can store as much fat energy as possible “just in case.”

But that’s where food Macro-Patterning™ comes to the rescue and provides a long term strategy to help you overcome the obstacles that BLOCK your fat loss…

Today I’m going to unlock the most powerful way to FORCE your metabolism to rewire itself so it can keep finding and burning body fat every single day.

I call the Holy Grail of healing a broken metabolism – Advanced Depletion.

Is YOUR Metabolism BROKEN?

Here’s how you can FIX it…

 Advanced tricks like carb loading, re-feeding, strategic binging and ‘cheat’ days will all come later. First you have to teach your body where you fat is – and how to find it.

Structured carb depletion will create an environment for both instantaneous and long term fat loss while priming you body for a healthy calorie overload.

Remember, in order for ‘cheat’ days to work, it’s mandatory to work your body out first.

So when you plan this out and time it properly, the next time you tear up the buffet line or rip into that next pizza, you’ll be facilitating the fat loss process instead of blocking it.

At the same time you have to know that even though this is about putting the fun back into fat loss., sometimes super low calorie days, severe carb depletion and ‘clean’ periods will be a necessary evil. And for GOOD REASON.

Advanced Depletion can serve several powerful purposes:

1. It reprograms and fixes your metabolism to teach it where fat stores are readily available for energy needs.
2. One of the fastest ways to drain the body of carbohydrate stores and/or muscle glycogen.
3. Lowers glucose and helps level and stabilize blood sugar to create an aggressive fat burning environment.
4. Shuts off the body’s dependence on sugars.
5. Primes your muscles and hormones to “want” and “need” more carbs.
6. Creates a MASSIVE short term calorie deficit for extreme fat loss.

Plus, properly applied carb depletion “sets up” your metabolic foundation for the Macro-Patterning™ lifestyle to work properly.

The strategy may look complicated, but once it clicks (and it will, just like it did for me), your fat-burning becomes INSANELY easy.Like hitting the “reset” button on fat loss.

Carb Depleting: Far from easy, but definitely worth it.

The Problem: Abuse

The problem is that many people think they know this strategy and make their own rules – which doesn’t work.

Here’s a quick example. For EVERY gram of carbohydrates you consume, your body holds about 3 grams of water.

Read that last sentence again so it sinks in.

Done? Good.

So even if you use a trendy, low carb diet (you know the ones I mean) and deplete on unhealthy foods, the scale tell you you’re losing a bunch of weight…and you are.

BUT it’s water weight – NOT fat.

Congrats. You just lost a bunch of water.

But what if you could switch it around – and make most of that loss fat loss instead?

Well, you can… if you understand how to deplete the RIGHT WAY.

How to Deplete Carbs theRIGHTWay After a Weekend Binge and Make Lower Belly Fat Your Primary “Go To” Energy Source

 Depleting your carbs healthily so you get massive calorie deficit AND fat loss is as simple as 1,2,3:

1. Try to consume zero starches or fruits for 3 or 4 days in a row during the week.

This will help accelerate glycogen depletion and get your metabolism ready for the weekend fun. This should give you a total of 25-50 impact carbs each day. Eat a decent source of protein in every meal to help keep you full and keep your body in a high-energy fat-burning environment.

You’ll program for huge fat loss using this several days a week.

2. Increase your fats and double your servings of green cruciferous veggies on depleting days.

You’ve got to get energy and good stuff from somewhere. When you lower carbs you’ll automatically need energy from other sources. Friendly fats and low carb vegetables are your no.1 go to foods to help provide this needed energy.

Some good examples to use are extra olive oil, krill oil, coconut oil, grass fed butter and a few raw nuts for fats. Spinach, kale, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage are great choices for extra veggies.

This will also get you all the fiber, vitamins, and minerals necessary to maximize your fat-loss AND keep your appetite satisfied.

3. Double your daily water intake on deplete days and before noon on weekends.

OK it’s not ‘sexy’ – but it works.

And most folks don’t even begin to realize how powerful water can be to tackle post-weekend carb bloat and facilitating fat-burning processes.

Remember, if you cheated this past weekend you’ll be holding almost an extra 3 grams of water for every gram of carb you consumed. So if you had a few slices of pizza, some bread and a bowl of ice cream we’re talking an extra 600 to 1000 grams of water sitting under your belly skin.

Just lift up your shirt now and take a look. Yep. You can see it, right?

So here are a few fast fluid facts to help you keep in simple.

First, remember the starvation idea – not getting enoughof something just makes your body hold onto more of it. Sound crazy, but drinking water gets rid of water bloat.

Helping you look and feel leaner.

Also remember that all the processes that happen in your body work quicker with lubricating water – fat burning included.

A good rule thumb is to start with 100 ounces if you’re sedentary – and if you’re doing fat burning exercise (which you should be!) add 30, 60 or up to even 150 more on top of that.

You’ll also control your appetite and just “feel” a whole lot better when you’re hydrated.

But remember: Do NOT try to abuse the “deplete” day strategies above or they’ll backfire – just like exercise and cheating…

More is NOT better.

But you can feel free to use this type of approach for 3 or 4 days at time – before and after a junk food freak-out to serve as powerful damage control.

So now you can see carb depleting can actually be fun once you know how to do your cheat days.

That’s why it’s so key to deplete and carb load for the properdurations on specific days at specific times to avoid the adaptive response.

And it’s HUGE for your motivation… cause every week, you’ve got something to look forward to. OK, big grins allowed. Me too

That’s the real carb cycling advantage. Sanity.

TOO much Carb Depletion can make you lose you mind…

How You Can Use

Advanced Depleting as a “Lifestyle”

Is advanced carb depletion easy? NO. Is it worth it? YES.

Initially, advanced depletion seems like it can be a big pain in the ass, but remember to focus on the reward. You might have to sacrifice initially, but then you can start cheating and adding all your favorite carbs back into your plan.

Plus, if you’ve EVER dieted real hard, been up and down on the scale from yo-yo plans, or you’ve been living and eating kind of unhealthy, the likelihood of your metabolism being severely damaged is VERY high.

Don’t forget. THIS is how you can heal the damage.

Remember, your body is not a one cell amoeba. It’s a full-on rubix cube.

And when you harmoniously combine Macro-Patterning™ with Advanced Carb Depleting, along with ‘Strategic’ Cheating, you’ll finally experience how fun fat loss can be.
