| Top 7 Diet Scams That Lighten Only Your Wallet | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. Lose Weight No Matter How Much You Eat of Your Favorite
Fast Foods! The laws of thermodynamics can only stretch so far, but fast foods are NOT healthy choices. They contain high amounts of saturated fats, lots of high glycemic carbs and little fiber. Now, eating a low carb diet actually gives you a thermodynamic advantage. This means you actually burn more calories as heat. Two studies in the New England Journal of Medicine found that those on a low carb, high protein diet shed three times as much weight as those on a low fat diet after six months. COOL!
Unlike high carbohydrate diets, protein triggers a response
in the stomach that affects motility and stimulates the release of glucagon,
a hormone that helps us to burn previously stored fat. In normal people,
within thirty minutes of eating a small amount of protein, glucagon starts
to rise, peaking at two hours. In fact, glucagon can stay elevated in
blood for several hours after a protein rich meal. This gives your body
plenty of time to use the fat stored around your waist and hips for fuel.
Combine this with the second law of thermodynamics and high protein/low-carb
eating should have the metabolic advantage over low fat and calorically
restricted diets when it comes to losing weight.
So the real way to lose weight when eating out is: Make sensible selections
when eating out.
