Low Calorie Recipe - Burn That Fat!

Low Calorie Recipe

Fat Loss Lie #4: Meal replacement products, powders and diet shakes help you "burn" fat.
Supplement companies would like you to believe that meal replacement products (MRP's), powdered mixes and shakes have some sort of "magical" fat-reducing or muscle-building properties. The truth is that they're nothing more than "powdered food" (or "liquid food").
Therefore, the primary benefit of these products is convenience. It's a challenge to eat frequently and to get enough high quality protein from whole foods, so quality MRP's are great when you're in a hurry and you don't have time to eat food, but they're not better than food, no matter what any supplement "guru" says.
Owners of supplement companies will say that MRP's are the greatest thing since electricity. That shouldn't come as any surprise; sales of these products run in the tens of millions of dollars each year.
With the one possible exception of post-workout nutrition during muscle size-building programs, eating real food is better than drinking shakes. The human gastrointestinal system has evolved to efficiently digest whole food, not powders or pills.
The process of digesting solid food every three hours actually increases your metabolic rate. This is known as the "thermic effect of food." Powders fail to fully take advantage of this metabolic boost.
Here's a fascinating and powerful fact about the thermic effect of food:
You can actually BURN FAT WITH FOOD. I know that sounds kind of odd, because when you think of food, you generally think that food is what makes you fat. However, it is physiologically correct to say that you can burn fat with food, provided you select the right fat burning foods and avoid fat storing foods.
Understanding the thermogenic properties of food and how to apply this in your own personal nutrition plan can have a profound impact on your results. It's part of the reason why "a calorie is not just a calorie" and why, with a program such as Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle, you can actually eat more food while burning more fat at the same time.
You can learn more about the "thermic effect of food" and how to burn fat with food in the ebook, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle,
