HOW TO GET THIN?

TRIGLYCERIDES 

Remember those fatty acids we talked about? Guess what happens when they are not used up for energy? Well, what happens is that they head back into the fat cells, where they “hook up” with two other fatty acids and a glycerol molecule, to form what is known as a triglyceride (triglyceride = 3 fatty acids +1 glycerol molecule). 

And this is not a good thing… Triglycerides are problematic because they are much larger than a fatty acid. In fact, they are so large that they cannot leave the fat cells like “free flowing” fatty acids could.Because of this, they remain stuck inside the fat cells and become the stubborn, stored body fat that we want to get rid of. 


Triglycerides cannot be burned for energy until they are broken down back into those smaller “free flowing” fatty acids and released back into the bloodstream. This is why so many people have so many problems with stubborn body fat. 

They can reduce their calorie intake all they want but as long as they are consuming carbohydrates, those triglycerides are going to remain intact! So…the question becomes, “how do we break these triglycerides apart, so that that they can be used for energy?” The answer is simple: significant carbohydrate restriction I know it probably sounds like I’m beating a dead horse here, but it is imperative that you understand this: carbohydrates cause insulin to be secreted into the bloodstream.

 Insulin causes your body to store excess calories as fat AND prevents fat from being released from your fat cells to be burned for energy. To put is simply, carbohydrates = excess body weight and fat storage. The 2 Week Diet - Launch Handbook | 33 Remember, nothing causes us to burn fat faster than starvation. But…starvation has negative consequences on our lean body mass. So, ideally, we want the body to “think” we are starving so that it is breaking down triglycerides and burning that fat for our energy needs. 

Since the body relies primarily on carbohydrates for its energy, when we remove those carbohydrates, the body will be forced to get its fuel elsewhere. Now, in the case of starvation, the body would normally begin to break down lean body mass for glucose (energy) via a process known as glucogenesis. 

However, since we are “sneaking” small amounts of protein to the body, we end up getting all the “benefits” of starvation without the loss of our precious lean body mass. Now, glucogenesis will be completed by using the protein we are getting from our diet which spares our lean body mass. And, consuming less carbohydrates increases glucogenic activity. 

The presence of glucogenic activity means we cannot store fat because that glucogenic activity needs all the fat it can get to be able to fuel the glucogenic process. In other words, glucogenesis requires a lot of energy…and it will burn even more fat to supply that energy. 

This results in the ability to turn our bodies into a 24/7 fat burning machine. And needless to say, maximizing the hours that your body is burning fat in a day is the ultimate key to a sexy, lean body. Again, your body NEEDS energy on a 24/7 basis. 

Without carbohydrates, your body is forced to turn to an alternate fuel source to keep you running all day long. So, let’s get now get our bodies revved up to burn body fat on a 24/7 basis.


As I’ve pointed out, the fastest and easiest way to lose weight is to stop using dietary carbohydrates for energy and to start burning our own body fat instead.

 Once you restrict carbohydrates from your diet (and keep protein intake up), your body has absolutely no choice but to break down and burn body fat for the fuel it needs. 


When your fat cells begin breaking down those stubborn triglycerides (the stored, stubborn body fat that is stuck inside the fat cells) and releases those fatty acids back into the bloodstream to be used for energy, your fat cells get smaller…and so do you! You will be truly amazed at just how much fat you will burn once you restrict carbohydrates from your diet. 

Remember, your body needs fuel all day long… It needs fuel to blink, think, talk and walk… It needs fuel for everything you do.

 On The 2 Week Diet, we will use nothing but stored, gooey body fat to keep us going. Losing weight on The 2 Week Diet is a matter of strategic eating—it’s a combination of reduced carbohydrates and eating very specific types of proteins and fats that are consumed in the appropriate amounts at just the right time. 

This diet alone will produce amazing weight loss. However, by following The 2 Week Diet exercise program, we can nearly double our weight loss goals, while obtaining some very favorable body composition changes.

THE FOOD PYRAMID AND OBESITY

Now, the last thing I could ever be called is a “conspiracy theorist” but you might think otherwise after reading what I have to say about the USDA Food Pyramid. I’m certainly not trying to turn this diet into a political debate, but the fact is, the USDA plays an important role in the economy of our country. And what goes into the food pyramid will, in turn, dictate how much money we spend on certain food products. 

Take a look at the USDA Food Pyramid that has shaped the way most American eat over the past few decades. 

As you can see, our own government recommends we get over 2/3 of our daily nutrition from carbohydrate laden foods (bread, rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables) and only about 20% of our food from protein sources—the primary nutrient that keeps us alive! It’s no wonder that nearly 50% of the US population is considered to be overweight! The 2 Week Diet - Launch Handbook | 23 I think the Harvard School of Public Health said it best in their famed article, What Should You Really Eat? Here’s an interesting excerpt: In the children’s book “Who Built the Pyramid?”, different people take credit for building the once-grand pyramid of Senwosret. 

King Senwosret, of course, claims the honor. But so does his architect, the quarry master, the stonecutters, slaves, and the boys who carried water to the workers. 

The USDA’s MyPyramid also had many builders. Some are obvious—USDA scientists, nutrition experts, staff members, and consultants. Others aren’t. Intense lobbying efforts from a variety of food industries also helped shape the pyramid.

 According to federal regulations, the panel that writes the dietary guidelines must include nutrition experts who are leaders in pediatrics, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and public health. 


Selecting the panelists is no easy task, and is subject to intense lobbying from organizations such as the National Dairy Council, United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association, Soft Drink Association, American Meat Institute, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, and Wheat Foods Council.

What the Body Needs and What it Doesn’t

NUTRIENTS

Our bodies need , vitamins, minerals and water for good health and proper functioning. Amazingly, the human body is capable of producing thousands of nutrients that it needs to sustain its own life. 

The nutrients that the body manufactures itself are known as “nonessential” nutrients because the body is able to actually produce those nutrients itself and it’s not essential that you go out and get them from the food you eat. 

Nonessential nutrients: the nutrients manufactured by your body that you do not need to get from the food you eat. Conversely, “essential nutrients” are those nutrients that you must get from the food you eat. To sustain life, it is essential that you get these nutrients from your dietary intake. 

Essential nutrients: the nutrients you must get from your diet because they are not being made in the body. Some examples of essential nutrients include water, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. One very common nutrient that has been purposely omitted here are carbohydrates. 

The biological fact of the matter is that there is not a single  that is essential to the human diet… Not sugar… Not starch… Not fiber. The fact is, carbohydrates do not provide any nutritional benefit to the human body—none whatsoever. You will learn a lot more about this in the coming sections. 

The 2 Week Diet is about maximizing the nutrients that we do need while restricting those that we do not. Really, it is all about eating the right foods in the right quantities at the right time. When done correctly, we are able to put our body into a 24/7 fat burning mode.

14 DAYS TO MAKE A HABIT The 2 Week Diet

Research has shown that it takes approximately 14 days for us to develop a new habit. This means 14 days of eating healthy... 14 days of going to the gym... 14 days of doing whatever it is that you want to implement as a habit into your life. Too often, when we try to implement a new habit into our lives, we look at it in unmanageable light. 

Because of this, these new healthy habits never get off the ground because instead of focusing on just 14 days, we sabotage our goals with the mindset that we will have to sacrifice forever. So, instead of starting with thoughts of making a new habit for life, you can make it a lot easier by simply telling yourself that you are just going to “try” this diet for 14 days. 

We can all do 14 days, right? Let your brain “know” that once this “trial period” is over, you can go back to your old eating habits.

 Then, while your brain lets you participate in this “trial,” it will also be working to form new neural pathways once it realizes that the new habit has benefited you positively in some way. 

This is the science behind habit developing and research has shown that it takes approximately 14 days to develop new habits or to break old ones. In the case of The 2 Week Diet, your brain will noticed that it now takes less work to move your body throughout the day because it has shed so many pounds. It will notice the increased energy you have as a result of your daily walks, weekly resistance training and other exercise components of this diet. 

Your  will also take note of your physical appearance, your muscle tone and how your clothes are now much looser. Basically, your brain will see remarkable benefits that will stick with you and cause you to follow along the path of good eating and exercise habits Now, understand that research has shown neural pathways to any habit (even the bad ones) can be life-long, which means bad habits can resurface when triggered to do so. 

This means that you constantly have to be aware of your thoughts and you need to make conscious efforts to avoid engaging in your bad habits of the past. Believe me, after 14 days, it’s relatively simple to convince yourself to avoid the bad habits. You will be able to indulge in your favorite food without them taking over your life. 

My intention of The 2 Week Diet is to not only burn fat away fast, but to also enforce new, good habits of eating and regular exercise that will stay with you forever. This will ensure that you get the body you’ve always wanted and keep it for life.

This is Not a Review Or a Free Report! 

This Launch Handbook is just a "small part" of the

actual Brian Flatt's The 2 Week Diet program,

so that you know THE FACTS and THE TRUTH of

what you will get if you decide to

make a purchase.

After reading this guide, if you feel that the

information

within The 2 Week Diet program is suitable for

you and helpful to achieve your goals,

Many of us are paralyzed by the conflicting information being given out in the health
and nutrition field. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of diets and nutritional
plans, quick fix pills and powders, gadgets and gizmos, infomercials and gurus
who are giving us confusing and very often, conflicting information on how to lose
weight.

¿WHO S RIGHT WHO S WRONG HOW DO WE KNOW?

The fact is, the weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar marketplace that thrives
on keeping us guessing. It seems like we can’t go a month these days without
something “bigger & better” to come along that can help us lose weight “faster
& easier.” It’s the constant barrage of new products and methods that keep us so
confused…
But here’s the thing…

The real, true “secret” of how we get fat and how we lose weight has been
discovered decades ago. And since then, that “secret” has been used to help millions
of people to lose weight. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine and the multi-billion
dollar diet industry want to keep this a secret.

The problem is that although we know how to lose weight, most people don’t know
how to take full advantage of these weight loss methods to really make the pounds
come off fast.

When the weight doesn’t come off as fast as we want, we are more susceptible to
those products that promise “faster & better.” But in reality, those products never
live up to their promises.

The fact is, the diet & fitness industry does not want you to learn the true secrets to
ultra-fast weight loss because once you learn it—they know that you’ll never need
to buy another one of their bogus products again. And when you don’t need their
products, the multi-billion dollar diet industry takes a great big financial hit

Building A Righteous Bod: 5 Commandments Of Smart Dieting

To see the best results from any diet plan, you’ve got to know the “Diet Commandments”. These guidelines are essential for superior results. They will take you to the Promised Land, flowing with good health and energy.

Sadly, many dieters miss out on one or more of these rules, and it costs them their success.

1. Thou Shall Eat More Protein

Of all the foods you might eat while on a fat loss diet, protein is probably the most important. Protein combats hunger, stabilizes blood glucose levels, and prevents lean muscle loss. The result is raised metabolism and accelerated fat loss.

Don’t let your protein intake fall short. Aim to consume some in every meal and snack. For some unexpected sources of protein, consider quinoa, bulgur, avocado, and whole wheat bagels.

2. Thou Shall Eat Regularly

You may have heard that metabolism increases the more often you eat. That’s somewhat misleading. Actually, the boost you get from a meal is directly related to meal size — eating regularly does help keep hunger at bay.

Feed your body frequently throughout the day to avoid food cravings and energy lows. Those who follow this guideline are more likely to stick to their diet or weight loss program.

3. Thou Shall Prioritize Fresh Foods

When selecting your foods, remember processed foods are a sin. Eating fresh is a must. In our world, processed foods are around every corner, waiting to cause weight gain and thwart our efforts for a healthy life.

Eliminate processed food and give your diet a major boost. Focus on natural foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and oils, and lean proteins. This isn’t the Garden of Eden—reaching for the apple is the right choice.

You could call this commandment the Golden Rule of dieting. If you make only one change to your diet plan, make this one.

4. Thou Shall Set Short Term Goals

One diet rule that you should abide by is to continually set short term goals. Think about your strategy in the here and now, not months ahead. If your goals can only be achieved far down the road, it becomes too easy to lose sight of them.

You should also ensure that you put your goals in writing and tell a friend or family member about your intentions. The accountability will redouble your commitment.

Try thinking in two-week segments. Two weeks is generally the period necessary to form good habits, so it’s the perfect amount of time to build behaviors that stand the test of time.

This is precisely why The 2 Week Diet was created. It will help you stay motivated and consistent until good decisions become automatic.

5. Thou Shall Avoid Fruitless Comparisons

Finally, stop comparing yourself to others. Realize this is your journey. Your body is unique and you won’t see the same results as everyone else, so don’t expect to.

Instead, start comparing yourself today to yourself from yesterday. That will give you everything you need to know. If you improve every day, or hold fast to your diet program, then you are already a success.

Keep these diet commandments in mind. Focus on them and be confident you are building a truly righteous body.
