If you’re trying to lose weight, high protein foods including meat actually slow the movement of food, particularly carbohydrates, from the stomach into the intestines. This has two beneficial results. First, the rate of increase of blood glucose is slowed down, avoiding glucose spikes. That prevents your blood glucose from going into the “fat storing” zone. Second, if your stomach empties slower, you feel full longer and will tend to not get as hungry.
Be wise about the kind of meat you consume. Grass feed, also called free range, organic meat is the best because it is chemical free and typically leaner that other types of meat. When you consume meat, don’t get carried away. A reasonable portion is the size of the palm of your hand. Eat a well rounded diet and watch the portion sizes
Convential dieting wisdom often says to avoid dairy products because you get fat from the fats in them. However, the opposite is actually true.

If you want to drop off some excess weight, then it’s really important that you understand the most recent scientific research on why we gain weight. The problem is that everyone has been told the wrong stuff their whole lives. That misinformation is that weight is just about the amount of calories that you consume. So, if you’re overweight, the supposed reason was that you ate to much and exercised too little… and, yet, even people who cut back on calories to the point of starvation and started a regular exercise program didn’t drop off the excess weight.
It turns out that the real reason for weight gain isn’t calories. It’s the kind of calories that are consumed. The real culprit in weight gain involves insulin. If you eat in a way that constantly elevates the insulin levels in your blood then you are guaranteed to gain weight and keep gaining weight.
So, the ONLY secret to weight loss is to keep insulin levels low… and the only thing that kicks up insulin levels is sugar and carbohydrates. You’ve got to learn to eat the right kind and right amount of sugar and carbs. The full story is covered in the first and second bonus days of the Vitalogy 7 Day Program.
