Slow-Carb Diet - Better Fat-Loss Through Simplicity

It is possible to lose 20 pounds of body-fat in 30 days by optimizing any of three factors:

1. Exercise
2. Diet
3. Drug Supplement

Full TWENTY pounds is a lot for most people, which also means removing few to several inches off of your waist line. That also applies to shirt sizes which can result to two clothing sizes down. That'd be impeccable don't you think?

Slow-Carb diet definitely helps a lot in losing body fat for it focuses down the flaws of our eating habits that makes us gain weight.

In the Slow-Carb diet, you just have five rules to follow.

1. Avoid WHITE Carbohydrates

Definitely avoid every carbohydrate that is white! - all bread, rice (including brown), cereal, potatoes, pasta, tortillas, and fried food with breading.

No Fried Rice

No French Fries

No Cereals

No Pastas

2. Eat the same few meals over and over again.

Just a note, this diet is totally intended to be effective, not fun.

According to the book, 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman by Timothy Ferriss, "the most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat-loss, eat the same few meals over and over again." Therefore, here is a list of grocery items that are going to help ensure you to stay on the less fatty side.

Mix and match from the following list, constructing each meal with one pick from each of the
three groups:

Proteins:
Egg whites with 1–2 whole eggs for flavor (or, if organic, 2–5 whole eggs, including yolks)
Chicken breast or thigh
Beef (preferably grass-fed)
Fish
Pork

Legumes:
Lentils
Black beans
Pinto beans
Red beans
Soybeans

Vegetables:
Spinach
Mixed vegetables (including broccoli, cauliflower)
Asparagus
Peas
Broccoli
Green beans

Eat as much as you like of the food items on the list, but keep it simple and not FRIED.

Eat meals approximately 4 HOURS apart.

3. Don't Drink Calories

Drink massive quantities of water and unsweetened tea and coffee or other no-calorie/low-calorie
beverages as you like. Do not drink milk (including soy milk), normal soft drinks, or fruit juice.
Limit diet soft drinks to no more than 16 ounces per day if you can, as the aspartame can
stimulate weight gain.

And YES, avoid beer as much as possible.

4. Don't Eat Fruits

The only exceptions to the no-fruit rule are tomatoes and avocados, and the latter should be
eaten in moderation (no more than one cup or one meal per day). Otherwise, just say no to
fruits and its principal sugar. Again, according to the book, 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman by Timothy Ferriss, "fructose is converted to glycerol phosphate more efficiently than almost all other carbohydrates. Glycerol phosphate → triglycerides (via the liver) → fat
storage." There are a few biochemical exceptions to this, but avoiding fruit six days per week is
the most reliable policy.

And for the best and final rule of them all...

5. TAKE ONE DAY OFF A WEEK!

No it is not a joke. Choose a day of the week that'd be your cheat day in which, you can eat anything, everything until your heart fails and you go on a coma. You can definitely go out of your way to order a 20 inch pizza and feast on it alone. Eat ice cream, your favorite chocolate bar or any other. It is definitely a feeding frenzy for you. Makes yourself sick every cheat day so that you'd be sick of them all throughout the next week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate doesn’t downshift from extended caloric restriction.

That's right, eating fatty things once a week can help you lose fat. Hello hedonistic lifestyle.

And that's it! The Slow-Carb Diet that'd get you thinner in 4 weeks by just doing what the five rules state.

To summarize it all, you just need to remember:

Rule #1: Avoid “white” carbohydrates
Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again.
Rule #3: Don’t drink calories.
Rule #4: Don’t eat fruits.
Rule #5: Take one day off per week and go nuts.
