  1. Strategies Movement mechanics

  2. Cutting Carbs and Fat Loss (WTO) AM • Final meal or last two meals ought to be lower in carbohydrates. • Lowering your carb intake before bed keeps glucose levels low • Helps release of growth hormone (GH) • GH is fat liberating • Released within 30-90 min of sleep High glucose levels blunt GH release A lean individual however will still experience the GH surge regardless of glucose levels

  3. Cutting Carbs and Fat Loss (WTO) PM • Do not skimp on carbs after training (nor do you skimp on your training) • Carbs (with Protein) are needed to rebuild muscle tissue • Carbs are immediately directed to the muscle from blood to replace glycogen. • Ideal for GH release

  4. Points to note • Glycogen Starved muscles crave carbs • Insulin receptors on muscle are highly excitable after training. • GH: Spark plug for fat loss

  5. Thermogenesis

  6. Diets that negate Thermogenesis • Low Protein Diets • Low Carb Diets • High Fat Diets • Low Salt Diets

  7. Diets that increase Thermogenesis • Adequate calorie diet • Overeating • Frequent feeding • Including lots of fiber in the diet (vegetable source)

  8. How to make a mess of Thermogenesis • Eating only 2-3 times a day • Eating a low fiber diet • Eating too many simple carbs • Excessive calories before bed • Skipping breakfast • Prolonged dieting

  9. Take home Points • Carbs and Protein have a high thermogenic effect • Low Carb diets reduces heat production • A low carb diet with an increased protein consumption may (just may) offset the compromised thermic effect.
