PHASE
1 WEEK 2: Low
Carb Fat Burning Index Plan
Here's
is the beauty of our diet. You'll
notice that you
don't
have to control portions or carb grams. We do all the
calculations for you and all the meals we suggest have high ketogenic
index. Why is it so important? Because, depending on how you combine
carb, fat, and protein, your meal can be "fat burning" or "fat
storing." In the fat burning mode, your body recognizes its own fat as
"food" and asks for less "external" food so your hunger decreases. Low
carb dieters eat all they want, yes, but then they also want less!

PHASE
2 WEEK 3: Low
Fat
The
recommended
pattern of the classical Cabbage Soup Diet is one week
*on*
the diet and two weeks *off*. On our program, for the weeks *off* you
return to the low carb WEEKS 1
and

You
can eat as much
cabbage soup as you can or wish for seven days plus
unlimited

Discussing
The
Fat
Burning Index
Insulin and Glucagon
There are two stars in the body's metabolic skies: insulin and
glucagon. They are eternal competitors: depending on their scores, the
body falls into one of the states: either energy storing (anabolic) or
energy spending (catabolic.)
Insulin directs dietary carbohydrates to be stored in muscles in the
form of so called animal starch or glycogen. It also takes the
circulating fat (in the form of triglycerides) coming from food and
directs it to body's fat
depots to be stored there.
Glucagon breaks down the stored glycogen and releases glucose into the
blood stream to provide carbohydrate fuel for the body.
Carbohydrates are body's favorite fuel. As long as there are more than
100 grams carbohydrates in the daily ration, all metabolic mechanisms
run on carb
fuel. What happens when there are below 100 grams of carbs a day in the
ration?
Insulin levels decrease and glucagon levels increase resulting in
metabolic
equation shifting toward spending and the body has no choice but to
learn
how to use alternative fuelfrom fat depots. To do this, it should
start
burning fat, including its own fat, for energy.
Ketogenic to Anti-Ketogenic Nutrient Ratio
Carbohydrates are absolutely anti-ketogenic, pro-insulin nutrient. The
more carbohydrate grams contained in a diet, the less ketone bodies the
body can produce and the more insulin it releases.
When carbohydrate intake exceeds 100 gram a day, there can be no
ketosis � period. Because of that, any diet allowing more than 100
grams carbohydrates a day are not ketogenic.
Fat is a 90-percent ketogenic nutrient because it is only 10-percent
efficient in releasing insulin and insulin is a regulator working
against ketosis.
Protein is something in between; an approximately 50-percent ketogenic
nutrient. For every 1 gram of protein consumed, 1/2 gram will be
inevitably converted into glucose, raising insulin levels and slowing
down the ketosis.
However, the rest of consumed protein will stimulate the release of
insulin's opponent hormone glucagon, thus helping the ketosis. It is
important that sufficient amounts of protein in a weight loss diet
allow keep the muscle tissue intact while using body fat for fuel.
The ketogenic diet starts with a three-week induction phase, but an
important difference between it and any other low-carb diet is that the
following phase requires further restriction of carb intake instead of
loosening the restriction.
This is based on the scientific fact that during the first three weeks
on the diet, the process of adaptation develops, leading to lower
carbohydrate requirements. This happens because all of the body's
tissues except the brain gradually stop using ketones for fuel and
start utilizing free fatty acids, so that only 40 grams of glucose are
now required instead of the initial 100
grams. We believe that this is a good time to break the process of
adaptation and switch the metabolism to the carbohydrate metabolic
pathway.
Discussing The Rotation Diets
"Too many carbs make you fat, and too few make you
tired. What's the
answer? Rotation." - Steve Stiefel, Men's Fitness April, 2001.
The idea of rotation in dieting gave birth to both low carb and low fat
types of diets...
... so you can now see that we have the best of both worlds. We
alternate fat-controlling phase with carb controlling but we don't
count anything: it works automatically through proper food choices.
Fat Burning and Carb Burning
The benefits of rotating carbs
To lose body fat, you must:
1) reduce calories below the level you need for body weight maintenance;
2) provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to
function at full capacity.
Logical as it seems, in fact these two contradict each other because
our bodies are designed to have all the nutrients coupled with the
amount of calories
that is too big for a contemporary human being with his decreased
energy
expenditure.
What's the answer? Rotation. On weeks when you eat fewer carbs (Low
Carb Cabbage Soup Plan) your body burns its own fat for fuel. On days
when you consume more carbs (Low Fat Cabbage Soup Plan) you're building
your muscles, thus enhancing your metabolism.
