5. NATURAL FAT BURNING STRATEGY Webhealthforyou.com

6. WHAT YOU EAT The “Thermic Effect of Food” – the effect of food on your metabolic rate -- works like this. Every time you eat, your body begins to burn calories faster as a result of the work it has to do to digest the food. Webhealthforyou.com

7. This actually contributes an increase to your Resting Metabolic Rate. Because we all have our own natural eating pattern, and if you keep eating the same way you always have, there will be no net change in your metabolic rate. For most people, those changes begin with the Natural Fat Burning Factor of eating enough. In addition, another Natural Fat Burning Factor is the type of foods you eat. Webhealthforyou.com

8. What you eat will also have an effect on the rate at which you burn calories because certain foods automatically cause you to burn calories faster or slower; regardless of whether or not you’re we're exercising. Webhealthforyou.com

9. The Right Fuel for the Job A quick‑burning fuel will increase the rate at which your body burns up calories while you're resting. Webhealthforyou.com

10. There are four different types of fuel from which we derive calories. On the surface, they seem deceptively alike: • Fats: 9 calories per gram. • Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram. (And, if carbohydrates are eaten in the form of whole starches such as brown rice, potatoes or whole wheat, the nutrient content is roughly one calorie per gram). • Proteins: 4 calories per gram. • Alcohol: 7 calories per gram. Webhealthforyou.com

11. The first group of people was placed on a diet in which the calories were approximately 45 percent carbohydrate, 40 percent fat, and 15 percent protein (40/40/15). The second group was placed on a diet in which the calories were approximately 75 percent carbohydrate, 10 percent fat, and 15 percent protein (75/10/15) The results of the study were unexpected…if not groundbreaking. One of their conclusions was that: “With the high carbohydrate, low fat diet, the energy expenditure during sleep was found to be higher than that with the mixed diet.” Webhealthforyou.com

12. The researchers found that those people who were on a high starch diet burned their calories at a significantly higher rate than those who were on the low starch, high fat diet. Simply by eating a different mixture of nutrients, the second group showed a remarkable difference in the rate at which calories were burned while they were at rest! Webhealthforyou.com

13. This means that the people who were on the high starch diet could lose weight faster or more easily than those on the low starch diet simply because they burned the calories faster. They could either eat the same amount as those on a low starch diet and lose weight faster, or they could eat a little more yet weigh a little less. Either way, they were coming out ahead in the calorie-burning race. And they were losing weight while they slept, too! Webhealthforyou.com

14. USE HIGH-OCTANE, FAST-BURNING FUEL When you follow the Eat More, Weigh Less Diet, you put your body on fat burning autopilot. The diet enables you to automatically make use of the “Thermic Effect of Food” by eating the right kinds of foods --‑ unprocessed carbohydrate foods that are low in fat ‑- to lose weight while you sleep. The truth is that the slimmest populations in the world eat the most carbohydrates. Webhealthforyou.com

15. Weight Loss Saboteurs Refine carbohydrates do their dirty work by raising your blood sugar quickly and causing insulin levels to spike and remain high for longer periods of time. This is a setup for your body to produce fat and sabotage your weight loss efforts. Webhealthforyou.com

16. The other problem with refined carbohydrates is that they don’t fill the stomach up like whole, unprocessed carbohydrates. Those pangs push you to continue to consume high calorie foods, including even more high fat and highly refined carbohydrate products. You then wind up eating too many calories even though you may have consumed a smaller amount of food. Webhealthforyou.com

17. Weight Loss Allies You will find that these foods are foods that tend to be high in carbohydrate and low in fat. You’ll also want to pay attention to Chapter 4 of the Eat More, Weigh Less Diet book where it encourages you to limit the amount of fat in your foods and any added fat in your diet. In following these recommendations, you maximize your use of the fat-burning effect of food to help you burn more calories even in your sleep. Webhealthforyou.com

18. 8 Simple Things You Can Do To Get The Right Nutrient Mix 1.Understand how nutrients affect the rate of burning of calories while you sleep. Realize that the Formula for maximizing the fat burning effect of food (Food-Induced Thermogenesis) is a high complex carbohydrate diet that is also low in fat. Let that knowledge guide your food choices. 2.Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates. This is the first part of this Formula. Understand that carbohydrates include sugar (simple carbohydrates) and starches (complex carbohydrates). Webhealthforyou.com

19. 3.Use more whole grain. It is important that the most of the carbohydrates you eat are whole rather than refined. In other words, it is best to eat whole grain instead of polished white flour products. 4.Use more beans. Beans and legumes are good sources of protein but they are also high in complex carbohydrates and low in fat (an average of only about 4% fat). For example, lentils are 3% fat, navy beans 4% fat, lima beans 4% fat, and kidney beans 4% fat Webhealthforyou.com

20. 5.Understand the meaning of “Elipidate.” It is a word that was coined for the Eat More, Weigh LessCookBookthat means to eliminate the lipids, i.e., to eliminate fat and cholesterol. (Lipid means fats and cholesterol). Practice “Elipidation” using the suggestions in the tips and the Cookbook recipes that go along with each tip. 6.Eliminate meats. Removing meat, especially processed meats, from the diet is a good way to start cutting back on fat. An average cut of beef is 71% fat and an average hot dog is 83% fat. Using beans for protein instead of meat gets rid of a lot of unwanted fat Webhealthforyou.com

21. 7.Eliminate oils. Removing oils from the diet is important because oils and fats are essentially the same (oils are 100% fat). If you must use oil, use it sparingly by using the spray type oils. 8.Learn what to order when eating out. Eating out can be hazardous. For instance, fast foods are notoriously high in fat. A large cheeseburger, for example, could be as high as 740 calories with 45 grams of fat. But there are a number of things you can do to make a dining out experience healthy. Webhealthforyou.com
