According to Mark Sisson, Paleo Diet expert and author of “The Keto Reset Diet,” there are three ways to convert one’s body into a fat burning machine. First, banish sugar from one’s diet. This step will reduce inflammation in one’s body and help them to get rid of cravings. Second, stop consuming grains. This will alleviate digestive issues and help to normalize blood sugar levels. Finally, omit certain oils from one’s diet, including soybean, canola, and corn. Instead, consume avocado and coconut oils, full fat butter, ghee, and lard. More specifics on the how-to’s and benefits of this approach can be found in Sisson’s book.
Key Takeaways:
- Dropping carbohydrate intake is the quickest way to speed up weight loss. As one makes dietary changes one’s brain will adjust and one will become a fat burning machine.
- Eating grains can contribute to weight gain, arthritis and other health issues. Removing grains will greatly accelerate weight loss.
- Sugar increases unwanted hormone levels and thus should be avoided if one wants to burn fat.
