7 NASTY Side Effects of Cutting Carbs Too Much

Published: Tue, 05/24/16

Over the next few days I’ll be talking about three rapid fat loss techniques that can help you achieve your fastest fat loss week ever before the summer hits.


- Rapid Fat Loss Technique #1 (today’s email below): Manipulating Carbs

- Rapid Fat Loss Technique #2 (coming tomorrow): Intermittent Fasting

- Rapid Fat Loss Technique #3 (this weekend): “Targeted” Spot Reduction


First up, the surprising danger of low carb diets. 


Everybody knows by now that lowering your carb intake can help you lose weight and burn fat faster for short periods of time… 


Published scientific research shows restricting carb intake can:


- Reduce body fat more than calorie-restricted low-fat diets

- Lower blood pressure dramatically more than low-fat diets

- Lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity

- Increase your good cholesterol (HDL)

- Lower triglycerides significantly more than low-fat diets


However, there can be a DARK side to low carb dieting…


Whenever you lower carbs in your diet for more than 5 to 7 days at a time, it can lead to a downward spiral of metabolic problems including:


- Suppressed thyroid output (inefficient conversion of T4 to T3)

- Decreased testosterone production (up to 43% DECREASE!)[1]

- Compromised immune system function

- Metabolic slowdown triggering slower fat burning and weight loss plateaus

- Increased appetite and ghrelin levels[2] (your hunger hormone)

- Muscle loss (NOT good)

- Leptin resistance (50% LESS fat burning hormone production)   

Not to mention each and every one of these negatives side effects can be even 

more damaging if you exercise regularly. 


That’s right: Even though low carb diets are very effective for losing belly fat… it’s only temporary so you have to BE CAREFUL and use low carb diets in “smartest” way possible. 


ENTER: The HIGH carb metabolic RESET


By increasing carb intake after an aggressive burst of lowering carbs for a few days (something I’ve coined “pre-cheat” depletion), you can literally REVERSE every negative side effect from above.


For example, increasing your carbs strategically can give you:


- More efficient thyroid output (increased conversion of T4 to T3)

- Increased testosterone production 

- Improved immune system function

- Elevated metabolism and healthier adrenal glands

- Gains in lean muscle 

- Faster fat burning 

- Better leptin sensitivity (increased levels of fat burning hormones)   


This is exactly what the High Carb Metabolic Reset Day from the 

Fastest Fat Loss Week EVER does. 


It allows you to indulge in your most intense cravings for carbs and purposefully abandon your low carb diet to offset the adaptations of short term low carb dieting. 


PLUS: you get to eat MORE of your favorite carbs, while actually INCREASING your results. Gotta love that! 


See exactly how to put this powerful combination to work on YOUR body today and look your BEST EVER for summer 2016:


==> Drop ONE Pound of PURE fat (not water) EVERY day for the next 7 days straight and experience your FASTEST Fat Loss Week EVER


Back tomorrow to discuss how you can combine strategic exercise WITH intermittent fasting for some insane fat loss. 


This is one of my favorite strategies found inside The Fastest Fat Loss Week EVER and it’s perfect to use right before summer hits. 


Talk Tomorrow,
