begins
to use more sugar for consistent energy sources, verses fat. If your
goal is to burn more fat, you need to bring the intensity levels down –
you literally need to “train” your body to utilize body fat as a primary
fuel source. For example, I have an experienced endurance athlete that
joined our program 8 weeks ago, since beginning the program; she has
dropped 17 inches - not by pushing harder, but rather by controlling the
intensity levels with a heart rate monitor to ensure that she is
burning fat as a primary fuel source. In addition to the loss of body
fat, her speed and endurance on the open road have improved
significantly (resulting in personal records in both the 15k and half
marathon!). This approach is used by elite athletes all over the world –
just ask Lance (you can Youtube him in a testing session speaking about
this EXACT concept).
Stabilizing blood sugar: the key to true weight loss is controlling your blood sugar levels on an hourly basis. This is accomplished by eating high quality/ripe fruits and vegetables & a small amount of high quality protein every 2 hours. By consuming food BEFORE you become hungry, you are able to maintain a consistent blood sugar level. If you wait to eat AFTER you become hungry, you will have the tendency to over eat (usually of convenient, non healthy processed snacks).
An additional benefit to eating fruits and vegetables is that you are providing your body plenty of vitamins and minerals along with large amounts of natural electrolytes and water – think about it as Pre-Hydrating for your exercise. By consuming protein you are provide your body the building blocks to rebuild your muscles and organs.
Fat and protein are the ONLY macronutrients that satisfy appetite. Don’t be afraid to consume high quality fats (avocadoes, cold water fish, extra virgin olive oil, coconut, etc.) and lean protein sources – they will not only satisfy your appetite, but also provide your body what it needs to perform optimally.
