Default Cheating

Good Luck - and think of it this way.....

Every time you cheat, you send your blood sugar back up, and you body will immediately stop burning fat and go back to burning glucose for fuel - it will always burn the easiest - most readily available fuel first...Ketosis stops.

If you eat more carbs than you need, they will go to your storage areas, if the storage areas are full, they turn right back to fat. Your body already knows how to do this really easily.

So think about this process....You have to break back out of the process of your body using glucose for fuel....which can take 3 or 4 days depending on the individual...So every time you cheat it can take almost a week to get back to burning your fat for fuel....

Do you see where I am going? Even if you only cheat once a week, you can cause your weight loss to come to a screeching halt.

Don't think that the one bite of cake, french fry or piece of bread won't hurt you - it will.

I personally also have trouble losing if I don't stay away from diet soda and coffee.....

Drink your water and take your vitamins!!!
