ATTENTION:! ALL WEIGHT-LOSS MUSHROOMS

 This secret to permanent and effortless weight-loss has been suppressed since it was first discovered in 1957 by a group of scientists researching energy pathways.

What diet experts all agree on is that a diet high in refined carbohydrates and simple sugars will wreak havoc with your hormonal system, preventing growth hormone release (due to constantly high circulating levels of both cortisol and insulin).  In practice this means:

• greatly reduce or eliminate white bread, pasta, white rice, and other refined grains
• greatly reduce or eliminate simple sugar in all forms (corn syrup, white sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, etc.)
• consume other high glycemic foods that may have some health benefits (dried fruit, fresh orange juice, low-fat milk, beer) only in small quantities (if at all)

Dietary fiber, fat, protein, and eating slowly will all help prevent both overeating, and excessive blood sugar spikes.  However, even experts in the paleo/low-carb community acknowledge that a continuous VLC (very low carb.) approach may not be the most effective method for consistent strength gains and fat-burning.  Occasional post-workout “carb refeeds” may help us reach the ideal hormonal profile (including GH, IGF-1, leptin etc.) for fat loss and muscle growth.  For those who don’t do well with gluten (myself included), foods like yams and brown rice are high carbohydrate, high fiber, high nutrient, and low in anti-nutrients like phytic acid. You know the facts now do your own research, looking for foods and exercises that boost real fat burning.
