Drink Lemon Water with Meals - The acid from lemon slows stomach
emptying and digestion. Consuming a full squeezed lemon in 20
ounces of purified water with a meal can lower blood sugar as much
as 30%. By controlling blood sugar, the body can better rebound
from the post meal insulin spike and begin burning fat sooner.
Psyllium Husk – Like acid from lemons, the fiber known as psyllium
husk also slows stomach emptying and digestion. Consuming a
tablespoon in water before a meal will prevent a spike in insulin
and blood sugar. Post meal fat burning will begin sooner.
Drug Induced Obesity - Commonly used prescription drugs can
interrupt many weight regulating factors. When used long term (6
months or more), these drugs elicit obesity among most users and
will negate the benefits of all fat loss endeavors. This is true
despite rigorous workout or diet routines that may be employed.
The most common of these drugs are those used for birth control, to
treat high blood pressure (beta blockers such as Atenolol),
depression (SSRI's such as Zyprexa), and diabetes (sulfonylureas
such as Amaryl and thiazolidinediones such as Avandia).
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) – The nutrient ALCAR prevents fat
storage. It is responsible for enhancing energy output by
transporting fat to the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the
powerhouse or engine of the cell and responsible for converting
fatty acids to energy in the form of heat and ATP. Without this
transportation, fatty acids are simply stored as fat.
Limit Alcohol Consumption– Alcohol is processed just like sugar.
The body will burn alcohol before it burns fat. Most any amount is
detrimental to your fat loss goals.
If consumed, alcohol should be limited to no more than 3 drinks per
week (a drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 1.5 ounces of
distilled spirits or 4 ounces of wine). To curtail the negative
effects of alcohol consume it with a meal consisting of protein and
fat. This will slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream
and prevent its negative impact on weight gain due to insulin and
blood glucose levels.
