Did you know that you can lose belly fat fast by following a few proper food combining tips and keeping a list of high protein foods on your refrigerator door?
It's true, but first let me explain more about putting together the right combinations of foods for fast weight loss.
Up until a few years ago I hadn't heard about food combing.
The concept was first introduced to me by a fitness and bodybuilding coach who was involved in helping to prepare men and women for amateur bodybuilding competitions.
A few of the ideas he introduced weren't relevant to me personally as competitive bodybuilding wasn't my agenda, however there were a few other useful tricks I did make note of and decided to try them out for myself.
I was amazed at the results and I'll share a few tips that I thought were particularly useful to me and I believe will also be to you.
Protein is a natural metabolism booster and should be included in every meal you eat. Assuming that you're eating 5 to 6 mini meals daily (this is ideal) it's important to consume protein throughout the day.
Protein naturally takes longer to digest and helps to keep you feeling full longer. As well it also helps to maintain steady levels of blood glucose and avoid or at least buffer any sudden surges of insulin, particularly when eaten alongside carbohydrates.
When the body is flooded with insulin it literally becomes a fat storing machine.
Carbohydrates and fats together without a protein source is not proper food combining. In fact, it's one of the most fat producing food combinations you could possibly have.
Rather than digesting a meal of only carbs and fats (like that coffee with a muffin or a slice of cake) without protein to help to buffer the insulin surge that's created, your metabolism will slow down as it now must turn its attention to and deal with a flood of insulin and of course the result is almost always increased fat storage.
Carbohydrates will naturally increase your production of insulin and you certainly don't want all the free fatty acids that are in the fats to be floating about through your bloodstream only to end up being held on to for future energy needs and ultimately stored as fat.
It sounds somewhat complicated at first, but I assure you it's quite easy to put these tips into action.
What I found very helpful, especially at first was to keep a list of high protein foods stuck on my refrigerator door for easy reference. I then made sure that every time I went to the refrigerator to prepare a meal or snack throughout the day, I always included at least one of the foods on that list.
There are many other proper food combining tips and tricks that have been shared with me along the way and certainly a few are more effective than others, especially as most of us are likely interested in losing belly fat more so than building muscular physiques.
