Carbohydrate Enemies

Carbohydrates don't cause weight gain

Carbohydrates don't cause weight gain. It's what your body does with carbohydrates that dictates whether or not you are going to gain weight.

Unfortunately, a lot of what you may be doing could be diverting a higher percentage of carbs to your fat cells.

So here are some things that will decrease your ability to absorb carbs:

1. A haphazard schedule: If you eat at irregular times and if you wake up at irregular times, your biological clock is going to be off kilter. And once this happens a higher percentage of carbs will get shuffled to your fat cells.

2. Cortisol: The main issue with cortisol is that it reduces the amount of glut-4 transporters on the surface of your cells. And these transporters are responsible for letting carbohydrates into your active tissues. Thus, try to avoid chronic stress and irregular sleep/wake patterns.

3. Hydrogenated oils: No level of intake is safe here. In fact, Harvard researchers believe that trans fats are the single dietary nutrient most accountable for heart disease in the United States. The problem here is that trans fats reduce your cell's ability to absorb carbs.

4. A lack of resistance training: The fastest way to divert more nutrients to your active tissues is with resistance training. You see, resistance training increases the concentration of glut-4 transporters by a massive percentage.

5. Imbalanced meals: Your meals need to be balanced with all the food groups or your digestion rates will be too fast. And fast digestion rates make it very hard for your active tissues to absorb carbohydrates. In fact, fast digestion rates make weight gain happen very quickly.

6. Not enough healthy fat: Dietary fat maintains the health of the outer lining of your cells. And this lining, also called a membrane, is responsible for letting carbohydrates into your cells. So make sure you do not follow a low fat diet.

Getting your active tissues to absorb more carbs will not only increase your energy levels, but it will also accelerate fat loss. So take action here sooner rather than later!
