This Guide is based on the science of rapid glycogen depletion. Glycogen, which comes from broken-down carbohydrates, is the energy source stored in your muscles and liver.

When you consume carbohydrates, your body breaks down the food into glucose molecules. The glucose first fills up your bloodstream until your blood can't hold anymore. The leftover glucose is then converted into glycogen and stored in your muscles and liver. When you still have extra glucose after the muscles and liver are full, the remaining glucose molecules are stored in your fat cells. 

​

When this happens repeatedly, this is when weight gain happens.

​

This Strategic Carb Depletion Guide will prevent your high calorie, high carb meal from being stored in your fat cells by 'first' emptying your glycogen stores from your muscles and liver. This process usually takes your body 3-4 days with deficient carb intake to empty your glycogen stores.

 

When those stores are empty, they are open and ready to be filled again.

That means that your splurge/cheat meal will instantly be converted to glycogen and stored in the muscles and liver. Since those stores were emptied prior, there is plenty of room to handle all incoming carbohydrates. This means that indulgent meal do not get stored as Fat, only as glycogen in the muscles and liver.

​

Exercising prior to consuming a high caloric, high carb meal will completely deplete your glycogen stores and allow the consumed carbs to be quickly stored in your muscles.
