#1 Secret to Losing Fat

Insulin causes our cells to store fat. To reduce fat storage and to encourage movement of fat out of our cells, eat a diet that does not spike your insulin level. Foods to avoid – the fattening carbohydrates, i.e., foods with high glycemic index or meals with high glycemic load:

• Sugars and all foods containing sugar

• Food made with flour

• Cereals

• White root vegetables such as potatoes

Foods that you can eat as much as you like:

• Meat, fish, poultry

• All green, non-starchy vegetables (they contain carbohydrates but low in glycemic load, so the will provide your need for fuel without spiking insulin level)

• Eggs and good quality cheese

• Fruit, except banana and grapes
