High Protein Diet

Did you know that if you do not have enough carbohydrates in your system for your body to use as a fuel source it will start to tap into your protein stores.  That means MUSCLE!  You do not want to be burning your muscle as a fuel source.

Muscle burns 40 calories per kilo per hour

Fat burns 4 calories per kilo per hour

The more lean muscle you have the more fat you will burn without even having to exercise.  Taping into protein stores as an energy source will lead to poor recovery and no lean muscle mass.

——————————————-

You still need to watch the amount of carbs you are eating.  Excess carbs will spill over into glycogen stores and will be stored in fat cells.

Simply adding an extra 100 grams of fibrous green vegetables to your eating plan could stimulate weight loss.

 Optimal protein intake is 1.2—1.6 grams per kilo of body weight per day.

 

When can it be a good time to add a simple sugar into your eating plan?

Add a simple carb or sugar before a high energy workout or class and you will not only burn more fat in your workout you will stimulate your metabolism to keep burning after you leave the gym.  5 glucose jelly beans is a great hit before a high intensity workout.
