The GLYCO-CYCLE is a
systematic three-day eating cycle in
which low glycemic carbohydrates are
used in order to allow the body to
convert stored body fat into energy
without the loss of lean muscle tissue.
To reduce body fat percentages, not only
must stored fat be used for energy, but
any additional deposits of fats must be
prevented. This is accomplished by using
two powerful concepts of controlling
carbohydrates contained in the GLYCO-CYCLE.
The first concept is a three day eating
plan which rotates the amount of
carbohydrates that a person would
receive each day. On day one and two the
person receives 80 percent of the
carbohydrates that their body requires.
This encourages the body to use stored
body fat to form the Adenosine
Triphosphate or (A.T.P.) which generates
the energy for muscle contractions. On
day three the carbohydrates are
increased back to normal levels. This
replenishes the glycogen storage in the
muscle and the additional calories
consumed in the form of carbohydrates
boost the metabolic rate. The three day
cycle prevents the loss of lean muscle
tissue and allows the body to use stored
body fat, without lowering its metabolic
rate.
The three day cycle changes the body
chemistry of most overweight individuals
from being sugar burners and fat storers
into sugar storers and fat burners. Most
people with high percentages of body fat
have allowed their bodies to self adjust
and activate glucose (sugar) burning
enzymes and suppress the fat burning
enzymes. This occurs as a result of too
much carbohydrates or wrong type (high
glycemic), which creates erratic blood
sugar levels. When blood sugar levels
vary from high to low the body self
adjusts to burning enzymes when blood
sugars are low. The end result is a
fatter body that has been conditioned to
burn sugar and store fat.
By limiting the amount of carbohydrates
on day one and two the body self adjusts
by releasing an enzyme called glycogen
synthase, which allows for greater
glucose storing ability on day three,
when added sugars are available. By not
only controlling the amount of sugar,
but also slowing the time it converts to
blood sugar (low glycemic), the body
self adjusts and activates more fat
burning enzymes. The end result is a
leaner body that has been conditioned to
store sugar and burn fat.
