Proteins contribute to weight loss of excess fat
If you support the intake of dietary fat with higher intake of protein, you have nothing to worry about. Protein contributes to burning fat, if large amounts of carbs are not ingested.
This backed up with proper weight training, will activate hormones which directly contribute to burning fat, fat loss and muscle-mass growth.
All carbs are not same (so what?)
Of course, there is a difference between different types of carbohydrates. The difference is that some carbohydrates are SIMPLE, while others are COMPLEX. Simple ones are called “fast,” and complex ones “slow.” But this classification is far from the truth.
Fast carbs (such as white bread, sugar) are very quickly broken down in the body and trigger fast insulin response.
Complex carbs trigger insulin in a slower manner. But this doesn’t change the fact that whether complex or simple, carbs increase blood sugar which lowers growth hormone (the key hormone to build muscle mass and lose excess body fat) and spikes insulin which causes weight gain (by excess body fat). Don’t be fooled by “Complex carbs don’t make you fatter.”
Note about sugar: Regular white sugar and brown sugar cause a high insulin response and fat storage. Fruit sugar (fructose) exists in processed form as sugar and can be purchased separately. Fructose and brown sugar, although considered healthier than white sugar, are fast carbohydrates and friends of fat. Fructose does not cause a high insulin spike like white sugar, but depending on the amount, it can significantly strain liver function and is easily converted into fat that accumulates in it.
The most important thing to have in mind if you intend to lose the excess body fat, is that your body won’t break down and use the fat reserves while there are carbs and elevated insulin present around.
