You're DOUBLING Your Visceral Fat Every Night (And Don't Even Know It!)

Dinner mistake number one: Researchers took a group of patients and fed them a meal of chicken, salad, bread, and orange juice.

Then they measured their blood sugar at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and then again at two hours later.

A few days after that, they brought the exact same people back, gave them the exact same meal, but with one small difference, and this time their blood sugar came back 29% lower at the 30-minute mark and 37% lower at one hour in.

Their insulin stayed dramatically lower the whole time during that second round.

For those who don't know, insulin is your body's fat storage hormone, and as long as it's up, your fat cells are locked shut.

So that second group started burning fat hours sooner than they did the first time around off the exact same dinner.

The only difference was the order they ate their food in.

The second time they ate the meal, they were instructed to eat the protein first.

That's it.

They simply ate protein before anything else on their plate.

So tonight, when you sit down to dinner, start with your protein, and if there are vegetables on your plate, eat those alongside with it because that fiber slows your digestion even further, and then it fills your stomach so there's less room for the starchy, carby stuff later.

The order should go vegetables and protein first, healthy fats next, and then rice or bread or pasta or potatoes last.

By the time you get to those carbs, your stomach is already telling your brain you're full, and the sugar drips into your bloodstream instead of flooding it.

This works so well that Japan put it into their national guidelines for preventing diabetes.

The country with the longest life expectancy in the world decided the order of your meal mattered enough to make it official health policy.

So that's the mistake.

Number one, eating your dinner in the wrong order.

This second mistake happens before the food even hits your plate, and it can result in six times the fat loss.

Most people plan a meal around protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

The problem with that is that broccoli, bread, and brownies all count as carbohydrates.

[laughs] They do completely different things once they're inside of you.

So thinking in terms of protein, fat, and carbs tells you nothing useful about whether dinner is going to help your fat loss or hurt your fat loss.

Instead, I plan meals around protein, fat, and fiber.

That's because fiber is predictable.

It slows the release of blood sugar into your blood, which keeps your insulin down, helps you stay full, and taps into fat burning.
