Eat smart, by choosing foods that regulate the metabolism at the exact point so that you burn fat, is what the hormonal control diets propose.
The hormonal control diet aims to manage the curve of insulin and glucagon, antagonistic hormones related to the level of glucose in the blood.
When you eat too much or abuse carbohydrates, insulin triggers and begins a chain of unfortunate actions: muscle breaks, fat accumulates. On the other hand, when eating proteins, the antagonistic hormone, glucagon, is released, which is released when glucose levels are low and uses the accumulated fat to raise them.
This diet involves three actions that you must follow during the day so that you get its benefits:
- Eat 5 times a day, every 4 hours — this keeps blood glucose stable and prevents insulin spikes
- Follow the ideal ratio of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat in main meals — with slow-absorbing carbs from fruits and vegetables and lean proteins with monounsaturated fats
- Do 30 minutes of exercise — this helps glucose metabolization, thereby decreasing the amount of insulin that must be secreted, which stimulates the body to burn fat
The ideal ratio at each meal is 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat. Prioritise slow-absorbing carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and monounsaturated fats for best results.
