Smarter Science of Slim: Fat Burning Foods

Background

The Smarter Science of Slim is written by Jonathan Bailor, who has collaborated with doctors and scientists for the past ten years, analyzing over ten thousand research papers regarding diet, exercise and weight loss.

Bailor aims to condense all of this information into his book in a way that is easy for readers to understand so they can implement a program that will provide a permanent fat loss solution.

Smarter Science Of Slim Diet Basics

smarter-science-of-slimBailor summarizes the results of a very large number of scientific studies and reveals unique information dispelling some of the myths related to weight loss.

He explains how certain foods dramatically impair our ability to burn fat, how it is possible to lose weight while eating more food and how to fix the underlying conditions that cause us to gain weight.

The foundation of the diet plan involves emphasizing foods that allow you to eat more and still lose weight. These foods have a high amount of nutrients in comparison to the energy they provide.

Primarily this includes non-starchy vegetables and lean proteins, which are relatively low in calories, yet fill you up quickly and keep you satisfied for a long time. Consuming these high quality nutritious foods also heals the hormones that control your body’s ability to burn fat.

Dieters are advised to eat ten or more servings of non-starchy vegetables each day. Bailor says this is easiest to do if you make smoothies containing green vegetables with berries or oranges and @whey protein@.

The Smarter Science of Slim outlines “five steps to eating more smarter”.

  1. Eat so many non-starchy vegetables and lean protein that you are too full for starches and sweets.
  2. Remember your ancestors. Dieters are advised to avoid grains as well as any other food that requires preparation other than cooking or blending.
  3. Buy groceries in bulk to save money.
  4. Drink lots of water and green tea.
  5. Do what works for you.

Exercise Recommendations

According to The Smarter Science of Slim you only need to exercise for ten to twenty minutes each week but it must be “high quality exercise”. Rest days are very important because they allow for complete muscular recovery between your workouts.

Once a week you will do ten minutes of a special form of weight training using high resistance, followed by two days of rest. The next day you will do ten minutes of high intensity cardiovascular exercise, followed by three more days of rest.

He says this regime has the effect of working our deepest muscle fibers, which triggers the hormonal changes necessary to promote the burning of body fat.
