Feed Your Muscles and Starve Your Fat
When it comes to fitness and weight loss, one of the most difficult things to do is eat so you lose fat without shedding muscle. There are a few things you can do to help make this possible.
Keep On Eating
The way to lose body fat without losing muscle mass is to eat more, not less! Eating 6-7 meals throughout the day will provide the body with protein at regular intervals while limiting muscle loss.
When you eat more often, you let your body know that it can relax because more food is coming soon. This keeps your body from panicking and keeping some of your calories tucked away in the form of fat.
Keep energies up by having constant regular blood sugar levels. Not eating for long periods, decreases your blood sugar and makes you tired.
When you eat smaller meals more often, your body can better digest what you're putting into it. This means greater nutrient absorption and utilization. When you're body runs more efficient it craves food less often. Try to keep your meals 3-hours apart at the most.
Clean and Lean Food
When you eat processed simple carbohydrates you cause a huge jump in your bodies insulin levels. Try to avoid foods made with white flour and sugar. Instead eat proteins that are very lean and complex carbohydrates from fresh fruits and vegetables.
Break Off the Love Affair with Sugar.
Sugar is everywhere! It's in our home and in our supermarkets. Sometimes it's in plain site but other times it's hidden with other names we don't always recognize: Glucose, lactose, maltose, fructose, and sucrose. Some sugars are even harder to find and go by the name sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, and malitol.
Drink more water
You're probably sick of hearing about water, but it really is God's perfect thirst quencher. I know the people at Gatorade don't like to hear that, but water does a great job. It will also help build muscle and burn fat. If you're drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day, you're doing a lot to help your body run more efficiently. This will result in better health and a leaner body.
Eat Protein
When you don't give your body enough protein it will turn to it's own lean muscle to gain energy. This obviously isn't a good thing. So, keep putting lean and clean proteins in and you'll be fine. Sometimes this is difficult to do. Try eating fish and chicken as much as you can. You can even throw in some lean beef every once in a while.
Rotate Your Carb Levels
Rotating carbohydrates allows you to control and manipulate your blood sugars and insulin response so you are allowing your body to burn more calories for energy instead of storing excess carbs as fat. Carbohydrate cycling is the act of lowering your carb intake for 1-2 days and bringing it back up. This keeps your metabolism from slowing down and makes dieting easier knowing that you can have higher carbs and calories in a few days.
Through carbohydrate rations and decreased overall carb intake you will push your body into massive fat burning mode. Watching your protein intake and intervals will make sure you don't lose your precious muscle tissues. - 17269
