THE FIVE IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF DIABETIC FAT LOSS NUTRITION THAT ALLOW YOU TO STAY LEAN 365 DAYS A YEAR!
PAY ATTENTION TO CALORIES
Provided you keep a close eye on your calorie intake you can lose fat without giving up the foods you love. How you fill your calorie allowance is up to you – but, make sure the bulk of your diet comes from high quality minimally processed great tasting food.
ALL OR NOTHING DIETS DO NOT WORK
The latest scientific research claims that a strict all-or-nothing approach to dieting is associated with overeating, increased body fat mass, symptoms of an eating disorder, mood disturbances, and anxiety.
I personally feel all-or-nothing clean eating diets are one of the biggest reasons why so many men and women in the fitness industry develop eating disorders.
The best fat loss diet is a little bit of give and take. Being told to “eat healthy” generally doesn’t do the trick. Finding the balance between enjoying food and making sure to not abuse it is the key.
IF YOU DON'T ENJOY YOUR DIET YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO CHEAT AND OVEREAT
Your diet needs to taste great and suit your personal schedule. Otherwise, you’ll get bored, frustrated and develop an unhealthy relationship with food which increases your chances of cheating and overeating.
You are fooling yourself if you think you can eat traditional clean eating foods like plain chicken, steak, egg whites, tinned tuna, oats, rice and broccoli for the rest of your life.
If you want to consume all your calories from tasteless fitness foods that’s perfectly fine – as long as it is a genuine preference, and not a painful battle of will.
The context of the foods within the diet as a whole is often lost. You are a result of what you eat on average. NOT what you eat at one meal sitting. Only good or bad diets exist, not good or bad foods.
CARBOHYDRATES ARE NOT THE ENEMY
Most people still don’t understand why they need carbohydrates and how simply dropping carbs is one of the most deceiving ways to lose weight.
When energy intake and protein are matched, there is no evidence of a superiority of keeping carb intake very low for fat loss. It comes down to energy balance irrespective of carb/fat intake.
In fact, carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy for hard training sessions. They also taste great and provide you with fibre, and a tone of other vitamins and minerals essential for well-being.
Cutting carbs jeopardizes your strength training sessions and forces your body to use fat and protein for energy, which increases your chances of losing all the valuable muscle you work so dam hard for.
YOU MUST CONTROL YOUR DIABETES
You must control your blood sugars if you want to gain optimal amounts of high quality muscle mass. The recipes contained within The Ultra Lean Diabetic Cookbook have been designed to support healthy blood glucose levels.
