How to Become a Fat Burner

Your body can switch into fat burning within the space of a few days, here is how…

Snacking

By snacking we stimulate more of the hormone insulin, by putting more calories in changes the hormonal situation in your body. Essentially you are training your body into a metabolism where it is using fuel from food not using fuel from your body. To train your body how to use the body fat within us, means taking periods of time without snacking, this means consuming no calories and minimising insulin levels. 

“As soon as we eat something, our pancreas releases insulin, which does two important jobs for metabolism: it helps absorb sugar from our blood into our liver, muscle, fat, and other tissues, and it signals these organs to convert some of the sugar to body fat. This process continues for up to 2 to 3 hours after we eat, every time we eat. So, as we keep on snacking, our body remains in fat-making mode.” — Dr. Satchin Panda, The Circadian Code

Fat Burning Zone

According to research, fat-storing only turns off after 2 hours without food, therefore we want to be aiming for 4 – 5 hour blocks of time without food (a key principle of Body Reset programmes) this includes flavoured drinks, coffee and tea.

These 4 – 5 hours without consuming any calories are essential for allowing our body to burn fat for energy and by continuing this way of eating over the space of your programme, your body reprogrammes itself, becoming fat adapted.

Fat adaption is a long term metabolic process that can benefit the body with reaching optimum weight, improved cholesterol, better sleeping patterns, reduced inflammation, decreased cravings and increased energy.  

How to Sustain Fat Burning Long Term

Knowing this it is vital that our meals provide us with enough calories and nutrients to take us through to the next meal time. Body Reset meals are based on science and include carefully selected food types high in bioavailability (how well the nutrients is absorbed by the body) to support fat burning.  

Turning your body into a fat burner is one thing, but being able to sustain it long term involves changing our eating habits. Body Reset programmes focus on behaviour change; following key Body Reset principles make these changes in eating patterns manageable and simple. See what clients have to say:

“The programme has made me realise that hunger is about re-adjusting your mindset and habits, reprogramming your thoughts to tell yourself that you are actually full up and not hungry.”

“It’s just so easy, the meal plan makes it so easy to follow and I love the food.”
