3 easy ways to "turn on" cellular fatburning

In today's blog post, I show you WHY the "low-fat" vs. "low-carb"
debate is important...


There’s been a lot of debate over the past several years about what works best at burning fat – “low fat” diets or “low carb”.

Well, when you look at how your body developed over thousands of years, we didn’t eat a “grain-based” diet.

We lived on plants, unlucky animals, and nuts.

In other words, proportionately, fats were higher on our intake list than grains were.

In fact, research has shown that reducing the amount of “dry carbs” you consume can have amazing results in returning your figure to its original cave-dwelling splendor.

One earlier study that had subjects follow a low carb or a low fat diet found that the low-fat group lost an average of 14 lbs…

…while the “low carb” group lost an average of 26 lbs!

One reason for this difference and great results is in how you stimulate a specific protein located in your cells’ mitochondria called UCP (or uncoupling protein)

This protein diverts “free energy” to be burned up as fuel rather than be stored away as body fat.

When UCP’s are turned on, there’s an increase in heat production and resting metabolism.

Yes, that means that you can burn fat WHILE YOU’RE DOING NOTHING!

But there are some key factors that go into triggering your body’s UCP for an all day fat burn.

Here are some easy-to-follow tips that will ramp up fat burning fast:


Fats That Trigger Fat Burning

In order for UCP’s to be stimulated, it’s extremely helpful to have availability of fatty acids within your diet.

Research has shown that adding the following fats to your diet, stimulate UCP’s to ramp up their fat burning efforts.

In order of effectiveness are:

Palm Oil
Olive Oil
Omega 3′s
Safflower and Sunflower Oils
Meat, eggs, and dairy

As you can see, you don’t necessarily need to increase your meat consumption.

I always prescribe 4 “servings” of fats each day to keep UCP levels stimulated.

Caffeine Increases UCP Activity

Your resting metabolic rate can be increased as much as 30% by increasing your body’s levels of norepinephrine.

Caffeine is a powerful stimulant of norepinephrine and can increase fat mobilization and the UCP burning process.

And here’s a bonus…

A cup of coffee is actually LOADED with more antioxidants than blueberries!
