Fat Burning Q' & A
Diabetes and fat loss
If you're suffering from diabetes and you find it hard to lose fat you're not alone.
You might feel that it's hopeless because you've tried so many diets out there and no
matter what you just can't seem to get things going in the right direction.
I have helped many women over the years that not only does their health improve but
they start to lose fat and feel great..so their is hope!
One of the things I talk about in my system that can easily be applied to diabetics is meal frequency. Eating every 3 hours will help keep your blood sugar stable and produces a hormone called glucagon (which helps your body to burn fat).
Eating protein with each meal will help and the right types of fat-burning proteins that I address in my system like caseinate which can be taken as a protein powder or found in dairy products like low fat cottage cheese. This type of protein when combined with a complex carbohydrate reduces insulin levels and may help fat storage then eating carbs by themselves.
Eating the right types of carbs is crucial for diabetics. Foods that are highly processed like white bread have no place in your fat-burning program
Make sure you ingest enough fibrous carbohydrates like green beans and spinach. Fiber is crucial not only for your health but for fat-burning. Eat a variety of these and preferably with each meal.
Supplements that you might want to consider if you are diabetic and that helps with carbohydrate metabolism:
Green tea extract
Kelp
Zinc
Alpha Lipolic Acid
Strength training can help with controlling diabetes.
Number of sets and repetitions. 1-2 sets per exercise is a good starting point for you.
It's a good idea to start slowly and then increase your duration. Always consult with your doctor before starting a program.
