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.

WHY 2 WEEKS Diet ?

Research has shown that most overweight people are carrying around 8-16 pounds of unwanted body fat. 



Research has also shown that most diets fail. From my experience, most diets fail because they take the long, slow, boring approach to weight loss. 

When weight loss comes off at 1-2 pounds a week, the rewards for the sacrifices it takes to get there really aren’t worth it. The 2 Week Diet accomplishes what most diets take 4-5 months to do in 2 weeks. The 2 Week Diet was specifically designed to be an extremely rapid method for burning between 8-16 pounds of body fat. 


I understand that for a diet to be ultra-successful, it absolutely must produce very rapid results. When results come quickly, the dieter receives the necessary feedback that the diet is working and that it’s worth doing. 


This results in the dieter sticking with the diet. When the dieter sticks with the diet, the results snowball and the outcome is successful weight loss and a brand new body. 

This is why The 2 Week Diet works! You will soon see that you will notice favorable body composition changes in the very first couple of days on the diet. In the very first week alone, you will be likely seeing 10 pounds of fat stripped away from your body. 


Your clothes will be looser… You’ll feel lighter… And you’ll look and feel 10x better than you did just a week before.

Enter The 2 Week Diet…

The 2 Week Diet is based on medical
science, rational thoughts and real-life
proven results.


As of right now, you can
rest assured that you will never need to buy

This isn’t one of those diets that works

for some but not others. 

The fact is, The 2

The 3 Most Common Dieting Mistakes of Women

A woman on a diet has many suitors. The weight loss world is full of companies and self-appointed experts competing for her attention, often spreading misinformation and making  impossible promises.

It’s so predictable. They just want to get into her….pocketbook.

If you’re a woman struggling with weight loss, there’s a good chance you have heard some unreliable information, causing you to make a mistake or two. Just a bit of misinformation can make weight loss seem like a code to crack.

It doesn’t need to be as complicated as it seems. By learning these mistakes, you can quickly unlock your potential and get back to getting results.

Let’s look at four need-to-know weight loss mistakes.

Starvation Diets

If 1400 calories is good, 1000 must be better, right? Wrong. Your body needs fuel to burn fat properly. As strange as it may sound, if you cut your calories back too far, your body will actually begin conserving its store of fat.

Think about wild animals in winter. When they eat less and less each day, the body gets “worried” and prepares itself for continued scarcity of food. Your body is the same. Too little food, and it will preserve its energy stores (i.e. fat) as long as possible. You may experience initial success, but it will quickly plateau.

You want to use a moderate calorie deficit, like the one detailed in the 2 Week Diet plan. This plan ensures your metabolism stays highly active for optimized fat loss.

Overdoing Cardio Training

If there’s one mistake that most women make in common, it’s hours spent on cardio machines. While some smart cardio training (such as sprint training) can be beneficial for fat loss, there’s no need to chain yourself to the treadmill, bike, or elliptical. In fact, doing so can do more harm than good.

Alternatively, what you need is an easy-to-follow weight training program that focuses on key lifts that make you stronger.

Check out The 2 Week Diet workout program if you need assistance in this area. This program will streamline the top calorie burning exercises that firm and tone your body while helping you drop fat quickly.

Overcomplicating The Process

Finally, the last big mistake that many women fall prey to is overcomplicated programs. Diet plans with a million rules and regulations only lead to confusion, demotivation, and eventually giving up.

Simplicity is best. A few smart, easy-to-follow guidelines are most effective for superior results.

Fat loss isn’t rocket science. It boils down to fueling your body with the right food choices and amount of energy. That encourages the body to burn fat cells for energy.

For a complete break down, consider using The 2 Week Diet plan, which has produced amazing results for thousands without making you feel like you need a Ph.D. in nutrition to succeed.

If you see yourself making any of these mistakes, then forgive yourself, make a change, and get on track to a healthier, more energetic future.

Don’t Be Duped! — 3 “Diet Foods” Guaranteed to Sabotage Your Health

Are you putting 100% into your diet program, but feel like you’re getting 0 results?

Many people find themselves in this pickle. They work hard, hold on to their diet strategy like bulldog, but fail to see the transformation they wanted. Hopes were high, but the scale just isn’t going downward.

What gives?

Often, the problem is not effort or motivation. The issue is that they are incorporating certain foods in their diet plan that are actually not diet foods at all. The diet industry is big business, and unfortunately many companies market their products as healthy, even though they are counter-productive options.

What are these foods? Here are three problem foods you need to cut from your diet immediately.

Fruit Flavored Yogurts

Fruit flavored yogurts are a favorite among many dieters, but many fail to see them for what they are: pint-sized sugar bombs. Individual yogurt packs have gotten unhealthier and unhealthier, while their reputation as a go-to diet food has regrettably survived.

Next time you’re picking out your favorite yogurt, double check the sugar content. You might be surprised to find there are 15+ grams of sugar per serving.

Of course you can purchase the sugar-free varieties, but then you’ll be consuming unwanted artificial sweeteners, which can be just as bad for you.

Instead, opt for plain Greek yogurt. Flavor it yourself by adding a handful of fresh berries.

Fat-Free Products

Beware of any product marketed as ‘fat free’. These products proudly label themselves as fat-free, and that very well may be true.

But ask yourself, if the fat is removed, what has been added? Time and again, the fat content has been substituted with something just as undesirable.

Often that means heaps of sugar.

If you are trying to lose body fat, sugar is just as bad — if not worse — than fat is.

Protein Bars

The last problem food to be wary of is the protein bar, despite its prevalence in many diet programs and meal plans. These may seem like a great option because they contain protein,  but once again you have to look a little closer.

Check that sugar content. Most protein bars have upwards of 15 grams of sugar per bar. Some contain 30 and even 40 grams.

In actuality, these are glorified chocolate bars. While you can buy a few bars with very low sugar content (five grams or less per bar), these will require a little searching.

Sadly, many dieters are blissfully unaware of these three problem foods. Are any of them in your current diet?

If you want to learn the two must-eat foods that will catapult fat loss into high gear, make sure you check out The 2 Week Diet. Highly-readable and conveniently-packaged in PDF form, it has all the best advice you need to correct any lingering misinformation you’ve fallen prey to.
