Faster Weight Loss
Leptin
By constantly altering your diet you stay one step ahead of your body and it never has time to adapt to your diet. To do this follow the recommendations below.
Day 1: Start with a Cheat Day. A high calorie day creates the right hormonal conditions inside your body to support rapid weight loss. The key to understanding why this works is to understand that weight loss is highly dependent on hormones. One in particular, leptin, is nicknamed the "anti-starvation" hormone and it is the one most responsible for slowing your metabolism when you fast or severely reduce your calorie intake for more than a few days. When you cheat or overeat you boost your leptin levels and this in turn keeps your metabolism high.
Day 2: Fast or near fast day. On this day keep your calories very low. The conditions are right inside your body for rapid weight loss thanks to Day 1 so use this day to drastically create a calorie deficit. You can further this deficit with exercise on this day.
Day 3: Low calorie day. Though not as severe as Day 2, this day you will keep your calories at a low level. This will vary for different people but generally the low 1,000 calories per day range for women and the mid 1,000 calorie per day range for men.
Day 4: Moderate carbohydrate day: You want to give your body a small energy boost on this day, which can also add back some of the lost glycogen storage (basically carbohydrate storage) into your muscles. Eat a diet with approximately 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fats.
Day 5: Protein only day: This day you will completely deplete your carbohydrate storage again to keep your body confused and also prepare for your next Cheat Day the following day. On this day exercise to further deplete carbohydrate storage.
Repeat this cycle up to 5 times then take a break. Check with your doctor before beginning the diet to be sure it is safe for you and then enjoy the results.
