Burn fat with low carb diets.

One of the benefits that we get with these types of diets is that we accelerate weight loss, controlling appetite and reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems.

You can use this diet for the most part of the week, but not in a constant way, because we should never eliminate one food group from our diet and carbs constitute the principal energy source for our body.

This diet works because, limiting carb consume helps to maintain low glucose and insulin levels burning fat constantly. Glycogens are the carbs store in your muscles. Different from our fat reserves that can be expanded in high levels, Glycogen has a limited capacity. It’s like a car if you put too much fuel in the tank it will spill all over the floor. The same thing happens with carbs and your glycogen tank, when it is full, the carbs left go to your blood and then to your liber and will be converted into fat. Also eating carbs increases insulin levels.

When your glycogen reserves are full, insulin puts your muscular cells and fat cells in “grow mode”. This is good for your biceps but not for your abs.

Now the positive part: low levels of glycogen that you can reach with a right diet and exercise, changes your body response to insulin. It orders your body to build muscle and not fat, because your body is refilling its glycogen tank in case it need and extra energy, so its stores glycogens in muscle for later use.

As a result your body uses fat as your main energy source; burning it in large quantities will you lose weight.

How to make it work: for this or other diets to work, you must eat until you feel satisfied not full. During your diet time low your carb consumption , do not eat products with more than 10 gr of carbs.
