The diet part of The Fat Decimator System is similar to a protein sparing modified fast because we are “tricking” the body to enter into 24/7 fat burning “starvation” mode but all the while we are providing it with protein that is necessary to spare the lean body mass. You’re also looking at the added thermic effect of digesting the protein. We have the carb restriction and the strategic protein consumption but we also have quality healthy fats so that we can enhance our fat-burning goals.
As we discussed earlier, carbs are not essential to the human body but we are unable to live without protein and fat. You may find this strange, but we could eat all of the carbs that we want and we could still die from starvation if we did not have fat and protein in our diet. Our restriction of carbs in this diet is because it immediately stops adding to the fat cells we have and it forces our bodies to start burning our fat for daily energy needs.
In the diet, we limit the fats to EFAs AKA essential fatty acids and the trace amounts of fat in the allowed foods. When we limit but don’t completely eliminate fat, it will force our bodies to burn the fat that is stored over using dietary fat for our energy needs. Don’t forget that our bodies do need a certain amount of fat every day to maintain our bodily functions. It just doesn’t care where it gets the fat from. Your hips, butt, belly, thighs or your diet can all be fuel sources!
