Never Combine Carbohydrates and Protein
The fact of the matter is, by utiliizing this approach, the insulin spike is dramatically minimized and the carbohydrates will do what we ant them to do, refill glycogen stores and support healty thryroid function. When you combine fat and carbohydrates, the fat encapsulates the carbohydrate and sloes down digestion, minimizing insulin spike. When you combine proteon and carbohydratesm it sends insulin skyrockting and can lead to the last thing you want when dieting, fat storage.
We like to refeed with starcky, nutruent-dense carbohydrates and good fats with no protein every thurs day depending on caloric intake. This all depends on the bodytype of the individual.... The reason for this is to get the body in a fat-burning state but not allow it to think it's starving. One problem we have with the low-carbohydrate phase is that a person's metabolic rate functions off of calories from? carbohydrates. If you cut out carbohydrates all the way, the body begins to sense a state of starvation. This will slow down the metabolic rate as well as thyroid production and you then hit the wall.
