ultra lite information video

Ultra Lite program is a fat loss, not weight loss program. It differs from most calorie counted programs because it maintains adequate protein in the diet to ensure muscle mass is
preserved. Protein in the diet, when combined with exercise is essential to maintain muscle mass while safe and effective fat loss can occur. This differs from most other diets that simply restrict calories, which means the body loses fluid, muscle and may be some fat.
The importance of muscle preservation means that once the person has reached their goal weight, they are less likely to put the weight back on because the muscle mass ensures that their basal metabolism is preserved. It also means the person after their weight loss is toned and has a healthy body composition.
The adequate protein also ensures detoxification occurs. The liver requires protein to detoxify the built up toxins that often accompany obesity. Fat cells store toxins and as the fat is being burnt the toxins are released and adequate protein in the diet ensures the toxins are
detoxified.
The program is largely based on the 'hunter and gatherer' diet, eliminating 'fad' foods such as grains and sugars, which have only been in the diet a few thousand years and only a few hundred years in large quantities. If you restrict high carbohydrate foods, the body will then turn to stored fat to be burnt as fuel. The diet then focuses on consuming high amounts of vegetables, salads and non tropical fruits, which are obviously great of our health and
wellness.
The overall effect is the person loses fat and preserves valuable muscle tissue, while
detoxifying.

Hi Healthyjulie,

Here is a scientific article stating all the benefits of exercising before you eat when compared to athletes who eat before they exercise. Not only does it burn more fat, but also improves muscle condition. As I stated, it is what the human body is designed for so it should come as no surprise:

J Appl Physiol. 2011 Jan;110(1):236-45.

Beneficial metabolic adaptations due to endurance exercise training in the fasted state.

Van Proeyen K et al.

Thanks, Stephen.

Hi Healthyjulie,

Thanks for watching the video.

You comments reflect a common misconception about exercise. Here is what we know.

1. The science. Studies confirm that ketones (a product of fat burning) increase dramatically after exercising before eating when compared to exercise after eating.

2. Evolution. We had to hunt and gather our food before we ate it.

3. Muscles are broken down with exercise and not burnt. They then repair stronger.

4. Starvation occurs in days, not hours after eating.

When exercising first thing in the morning, the body doesn't burn body fat, it burns muscle, because the body feels as if you are starving it. It down-regulates metabolism to work more slowly. To keep your blood sugars stable and get your body to burn fat, you need at least a little food in you before exercising! Not so much that you only burn the food you ate, but just enough to let your body know you are not starving it, and it can then tap into body fat for energy for the workout.
