The Secret
This by far is one, if not the biggest myth, when it comes to instant and permanent weight loss. The 2 secrets that none of the giant supplement companies or weight loss experts want to reveal to you is a hormone known as “cortisol” and the importance of “macronutrients”.
I mention the words “cortisol” and “macronutrients” several times
throughout my Fat Extinction Program because without an understanding of the role they play in your weight loss program, it will feel as if you are in a boat rowing against the current. You can try as hard as you would like but at the end of the day you will never, ever, ever achieve the weight loss results you deserve. And by eating 2 meals a day, you are breaking these principles and preventing your weight loss goals from becoming a reality. With that being said, I will give you some secret insight into how eating two meals a day will sabotage your weight loss results and continue to cause you to suck at losing weight!
Cortisol is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that when elevated can cause you to store more body fat and decrease lean muscle tissue. Cortisol elevates when you do not follow a good diet, exercise too long or do not get a good night’s sleep. If you are only eating 2 meals a day, your cortisol levels will skyrocket and you will go into a catabolic state. This is not the place you would like to be when attempting to achieve permanent and instant fat loss. It is like walking across miles and miles of quick sand and expecting to make it to the other side alive. You will fail miserably and get nowhere in a hurry because cortisol prevents fat loss by promoting fat storage and eating away at muscle tissue (thus lowering your metabolism)!!!
We most certainly cannot forget about macronutrients. In order to ever decrease body fat, you MUST eat the right amounts of macronutrients at the right times of the day. Think of your body as a car. If you have a 16 gallon tank, you cannot put 42 gallons of gasoline in your car. Instead you need to fill it up every couple of weeks or whenever you see the empty sign turn on.
Likewise, the body cannot metabolize large quantities of food at one time. The body needs to be fed in small amounts at the right times to burn off the unwanted belly fat. If you do decide to disobey the macronutrient principle of eating smaller meals throughout the day by eating 2 meals a day, your body will store more fat. This will affect your metabolism because 85% of your day should be used metabolizing fats, while the other 15% being used for metabolizing carbohydrates! This is the reason why in my Fat Extinction Program, I make sure that every 3 hours you are consuming some food in order to keep your metabolism cranking at an accelerated and alarming rate!
