Did you know that almost all your favorite high carb foods contain the ONLY macronutrient that is instantly available for energy the second it hits your mouth?

Did you know this is one of the primary reasons why carbs can send your fat storing hormones skyrocketing, making you fatter and fatter with every bite?

However, if you understand the 3 simple stages of carbohydrate storage below, you can AVOID these nasty side effects while eating all your favorite carbs and holiday treats this year – WITHOUT having to worry about fat storage.

Most people who don't have access to this information will constantly suffer from something called "carb-based fat spillover", which results in your body storing fat EVERY time you eat carbs.

However, you can easily avoid fat "spillover" from the carbs you eat, while preventing carb based insulin spikes that send your fat storing hormones soaring by following the 3 simple nutrition hacks below.

As with most weight loss topics, the contradicting information and research is everywhere when it comes to the subject of carb intake, food timing, and fat loss.   

But all you have to do is follow the 3 simple rules below to ensure that EVERY time you eat your favorite carbohydrates and holiday foods this year—you'll speed up calorie burning, STOP your metabolism from slowing down, and keep your body's #1 fat burning hormones at healthy levels day in and day out.

Remember, low carb, fad diets may work at first, but over time they can destroy your metabolism and wreak havoc on your fat burning hormones and STOP your body from using fat as fuel.

Avoid Carb-Based Insulin Spikes

EVERY time you take a nibble of your favorite carb filled snacks or consume starchy carbs alone, they immediately spike insulin, which is your body's primary fat storage hormone. This sends your body straight into a fat STORING environment.

This is why you should NEVER snack on your favorite high carb foods by themselves.

The easiest way for you to avoid this fat storing nightmare is to always combine your carbs with a complete animal protein and a fibrous vegetable. This will help stabilize insulin to keep your body in a fat-burning environment and help your body use the extra carbs available for energy needs.

There are, however, times when you can (and should) intentionally eat MORE of your favorite high carb foods without worrying about fat-storage. It's all part of a carb cycling nutrition strategy found below that will BOOST your metabolism and KEEP your body burning fat.

STOP Carb Based Fat Spillover
(3 stages of carbohydrate storage)

When energy intake is abundant and little or no energy is expended, your muscle and liver storage will over fill, and the body starts storing the unused energy, such as carbs, as fat.

So ANY and ALL impact carbs you eat will "spillover" and be stored as fat on your body. There's simply NO room in your energy tank (muscles and liver) for carbohydrates to be stored… so they spillover onto your belly, thighs, hips, and butt.

However, there are three super simple stages of carbohydrate storage... and if you understand how they work, you can eat your favorite carbs and NEVER have to worry about storing them as fat on your body.

But if you don't understand them, you'll continue to struggle with your diet, while suffering from the fat storing side effects of "spillover".

The first two were briefly discussed above.

Stage 1: Immediate Energy Needs: The second carbohydrates hit your mouth, you MUST make sure you're going to either burn them off (pre-workout)… or make sure you have room in your energy tank to store them for later use.

Stage 2: Storage in your Muscles & Liver: Next, your body stores carbohydrates as glycogen in the muscle and the liver as a source of energy for movement and daily function. Storage continues until the muscle and/or liver is full.

Stage 3: Carb Based Spillover and Fat Storage: After just a few short days, when energy intake is abundant and little or no energy is expended, muscle and liver stores over fill and your body starts storing the unused carbohydrates as fat.

In other words, if you’re not SMART about your carb intake, your muscles and liver will "fill up" with glycogen. When this happens, every time you consume carbs they’ll start to "spillover" and automatically be stored as fat.

However, there is a super simple carb cycling nutrition protocol you can use to STOP stage 3 carb-based fat-spillover and still eat all the carbs you want. I reveal exactly how this innovative plan works on the next page.

Eat MORE Carbs at the RIGHT Times

 

Carb timing confusion is one of the primary reasons that 97% of the population gains back the weight they lost directly after following ANY type of crash diet.

But when you consume lots of your favorite carbs at the right times (and even your favorite holiday "treats" at specific times), you'll NEVER have to worry about them making you look thicker and fatter.

Here are 3 simple ways you can time your
carb intake to LIMIT stage 3 fat-spillover and
KEEP your body burning fat.

GOOD: A good time of day to eat your favorite carbohydrates is first thing in the a.m. when your metabolic rate is higher and insulin sensitivity is peaking naturally. After being in a "fasted" state during sleep there's significantly more room in your energy tank to let the carbs in without ANY fat storage.

This strategy may not be as appealing if you use strategies like intermittent fasting, but if you're a breakfast eater this carb timing strategy can be especially effective after exercising during the morning hours.

BETTER: An even better time to consume impact carbs is 4-5 hours before you exercise.

This will help you get all the fat burning benefits of exercising in a slightly fasted state, while ensuring the carbs you consume are burned off during and after the workout, which will help you avoid fat-spillover and prevent muscle loss. It will also provide you with increased energy levels throughout your workout.

Increased energy means better performance, and better performance equals more fat and calories burned during and after the workout.

BEST: The BEST time to consume your favorite carbs is post-workout. After intense exercise, your muscles literally act like a sponge that's been rung dry, so your body will literally "soak up" all your favorite carbs.

Additionally, your metabolic rate will be elevated for an extended period of time, STOPPING carbs from being stored as fat for a few hours after exercise.

Timing your carb intake properly allows you to ENJOY your favorite carbs without fat storage, while improving your metabolic health and increasing your body's fat burning efficiency.

Simply put, if you eat carbs at the wrong times, you'll STORE fat, but if you eat carbs with the right foods at the right times, you'll BURN fat.

One of the easiest ways to apply this strategy is by using the proprietary carb cycling strategy called Macro-Patterning™ that I show you how to use on the very next page.

My wife and I have been using these carb cycling strategies to stay in great shape all year round, while still having a life for over 11 years now and guess what? So can YOU.

Believe it or not, you CAN eat the foods you love (carbs, and YES, even your favorite holiday treats) as a way to rapidly speed up your metabolic rate, preserve lean sexy muscle, while reprogramming your body to burn fat as your "go-to" energy source – all at the same time.

You just have to "smart" about it by using the Carb Cycling Solution found on the next page.

But unfortunately, most people have been misled and they'll never have access to carb cycling, so they'll continue to AVOID carbs, or consume them the wrong way, which can SLOW down your metabolism, suppress your fat-burning hormones, and STOP your body from burning fat – WITHOUT you even knowing it.
