Fwd: Eat THIS to turn on your fat burning switch…

          

Keep the level of carbohydrate eating low so that the insulin level goes down and the glucagon HSL switch works.  This way, fat is released to the bloodstream... The glucagon HSL does the opposite work of insulin.  The glucagon burns fats and releases these into the bloodstream.  Unless you have glucagon HSL, you will not be able to reduce fat in the body.

Where do you get glucagon?

By keeping insulin level down, by reducing intake of high GI carbs, you allow the glucagon HSL in the body to do its job.


This is the only time I understand why taking sugary food causes obesity.  I thought the carbohydrates sugar molecules congregate to become fat.  No the reason is the that the high level of insulin keeps glucagon level low.  It cant do its job of metabolizing fats....

In today's guest newsletter, you're going to learn about a special fat burning
molecule from rogue nutritionist, Dr. Jonny Bowden that I know you'll enjoy...

Have you ever wondered how your body actually burns fat?

Years ago a popular health magazine decided to try to answer that same question
with a novel approach. They looked at how people actually gain weight, reasoning
that if we knew all the "tricks" to gaining weight, we could learn what not to
do if we wanted to stay lean.

So they followed around a bunch of Sumo wrestlers whose job requires them to
maintain enormous stores of body fat. Whatever it is they were doing, that's
exactly what we shouldn't do.

Now Sumo wrestlers gain weight for a number of reasons, and genetics certainly
plays a role, but what they did eating-wise is the thing we want to pay
attention to, because it's ultimately going to teach us something about how to
burn fat.

Here's what the Sumo guys did …

They worked out a bit. They lazed around. They worked out some more. They took a
nap. And then, at the end of the day, they ate their one meal, a veritable Roman
orgy of food that would make the buffet at the Bellagio in Vegas seem skimpy.
Shortly after this multi-thousand calorie feast they'd go to bed for the night.

Okay, folks, what can we learn from this?

One reason this technique is so effective for weight gain is that it mobilizes
every fat-storing mechanism we have in our body. I'll explain how in a moment …

The main point here is that if you want to burn fat instead of store it, you
have to learn how to turn off your fat-storing mechanisms, and instead turn on
what I like to call your "fat-burning switch."

Needless to say, the fat-burning switch on a Sumo wrestler doesn't get much "on"
time.

So here's the biochemistry behind the Sumos'
weight gain…

When you eat a big meal—which is inevitably loaded with carbohydrates—it sends
your blood sugar soaring. The body immediately releases a hormone (insulin)
whose job it is to wrangle that sugar and get it out of the bloodstream where—if
it were to stay elevated for very long and if that were to happen frequently—it
would do some serious damage.

Insulin escorts sugar into the cells. When the muscle cells don't need it, it
goes into the fat cells. No wonder insulin is also known as the "fat-storing
hormone."

Insulin does its work with the help of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase
(LPL), which is kind of like the "fat-storing enzyme." LPL takes triglycerides
from the bloodstream, cleaves them into smaller parts (called fatty acids), and
then promptly helps store these fatty acids in your fat cells.

In the Sumo scenario there are plenty of triglycerides to break up and store,
because he just ate a high-carb meal which not only increases triglycerides but
also drives insulin levels up.

It gets worse.

Once insulin is riding the seas of the bloodstream, it effectively locks the
doors to the fat cells. They won't open up and release their bounty (that is,
you won't burn fat) until insulin levels come back down. Of course, the more you
continue to eat that same high-carb diet, the less your insulin levels go down.

That's the (very oversimplified) biochemistry, and it works that way whether
you're an audience member of the Ellen show or you're a professional Sumo
wrestler.

And now to our question: How do you burn fat?

You do the exact opposite of everything I just said, and here's why …

Insulin has a sister hormone, and its name is glucagon. It's probably something
you've never heard of before, but it's a critical component of your fat-burning
biochemistry.

When blood sugar is low, and you need more energy, and food isn't available,
glucagon is secreted. Its purpose is the exact opposite of insulin's. Glucagon
goes into the cells and causes fat to be released. And it does so with the help
of a fat-burning enzyme called hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL).

Much like glucagon is the "opposite" of insulin, HSL is the "opposite" of LPL,
the fat-storing enzyme we spoke of earlier. HSL breaks down triglycerides (the
form of fat stored in your cells) into fatty acids and glycerol, so as they
travel around the bloodstream they can be burned for energy or excreted. This
glucagon-HSL axis is what I call the "fat-burning switch."

Working backwards, we can see the obvious: Fat burning (and weight loss) won't
take place unless the fat-burning switch (glucagon/ HSL) is turned on. The
fat-burning switch is in the "off" position as long as insulin levels are high.
Insulin levels are high whenever blood sugar is high, and blood sugar is
typically high in response to high-carbohydrate meals.

Hence the solution to the problem of how to burn fat is pretty simple. Keep
blood sugar in a nice, moderate range where it won't trigger excess insulin. By
keeping blood sugar (and insulin) down, you allow glucagon/HSL—the fat-burning
switch—to do its magic.

If you want to trigger your fat-burning switch, you have to learn to eat in a
way that won't trigger excess insulin. Fortunately, that isn't that hard to do.

A diet composed mainly of what I call "The Jonny Bowden Four Food Groups" is a
good place to start.

What are those "Four Food Groups"?

Food you can hunt, fish, gather, or pluck.

Now that's a prescription for healthy living and also one that's pretty much
guaranteed to flip your fat-burning switch to the "on" position!

P.S. Due to the overwhelming response I've received about this cellular switch
that can turn you into a fat-burning machine, I recently put together an exposé
that demonstrates EXACTLY how to do this yourself.

Folks, nobody is really talking about this, but it's something you MUST know if
you want to burn fat AND keep it off for good. The dirty little secret is that
slightly over 1 in 3 people have this switch turned off leading to excess fat
accumulation.

So, sit back, relax and go watch this exposé right now as I am not sure how much
longer I'll have it up.
