Free Fat Burning Diet Plan
The fat-burning diet was developed by clinical nutritionist Jay Robb as a means of stabilizing his blood-sugar levels, having previously suffered from hypoglycemia. It works by encouraging the body to burn fat as its primary source of energy.

The Theory
-
Following Robb's fat-burning diet means three meals a day, alternating between high and low carbohydrate days. This allows you to avoid the fatigue that can occur with other low-carb diets by manipulating the metabolism of glycogen. Ideal carbohydrates include brown rice, pasta, wholegrain bread, sweet potatoes, and fruit. Dieters can have one free meal of their choice each week.
Breakfast Suggestions
-
On a low-carb day, try and egg-white omelet with cheddar cheese and salsa.
For high-carb days, fruit salad and yogurt together with whole-wheat toast and honey.
-
Lunch Suggestions
-
On low-carb days, prepare a raw vegetable salad with avocado and tuna.
For high-carb days, try turkey breast meat served with baked sweet potato and a green salad.
Dinner Suggestions
-
On low-carb days, stir-fry lean beef and serve with broccoli and peanut sauce.
For high-carb days, chicken breast meat with whole-wheat pasta and zucchini, and fresh fruit for dessert.
Pros and Cons
-
The diet does need a fair bit of discipline in alternating recipes between high and low carb days, but it can be easier to stick with for those struggling on purely low-carbohydrate diets. Followed strictly, the diet excludes processed foods, so preparation times can be higher than with some diets. The diet may help with management of hypoglycemia.
