The body has three compartments of energy from which to drawto meeet its metobolic needs: Carbohydrates, Muscle and Fats.
It draws on these reserves in a very specific order. Chronologically the body will draw on its carbohydrate reserve before turning to muscle and fat.
During the weight loss phases of the protocol we limit the carbohydrate intake to force the body to turning to muscle and fat.
During the weight loss phases of the protocol we limit the carbohydrate intake to force the body to turn to its fat and muscle compartments. Because we are consuming Ideal Protein high-biological protein foods throughout the day, muscle mass loss will not occur leaving the body to only target fat.
Our protocol is not a high-protein diet in any way. We simply provide the body an adequate amount of protein to ensure muscle is not lost.
