Fitness influencers are losing a lot of body fat! These 5 types of people who eat out are not suitable for a low-sugar diet

There is a new hot topic in the fitness circle recently. He dropped his body fat from 110 kg at his heaviest to 8% - the "fitness influencer" YouTuber, Peeta. How did he do it? He shared his secrets for losing weight and reducing body fat, which turned out to be through weight training, a ketogenic low-sugar diet, and intermittent fasting, which enabled him to become an internet celebrity!

Gege successfully reduced body fat: heavy training + very low sugar/ketogenic diet

Gege once weighed as much as 110 kilograms, with a body fat percentage of 38%. At that time, he tried various weight-loss methods, and although he succeeded in losing weight, the rapid weight loss made his body proportions obviously unbalanced, making him look top-heavy. Therefore, in addition to maintaining weight training, he decided to review the food he ate every day and adjust the nutritional ratios in it, and then combined it with a very low-sugar/ketogenic diet. In this way, he successfully lost weight without the risk of gaining weight again. He later successfully reduced his body fat to 8% through weight training, a ketogenic low-carb diet and intermittent fasting, and his body shape became better.

Ge Ge suggests: People who are prone to obesity can try a very low-sugar diet

What is a "very low sugar diet"? In his new book, Peeta Gege's Body Transformation and Ketogenic Strategy! A mixed diet and intermittent fasting can help you lose 30% of body fat. It states that an extremely low-sugar diet is just what its name implies, a diet with extremely low sugar intake and high protein and fat intake. This diet pattern is the one that helped me lose weight from 110 kg to 80 kg for the first time, so I have a special liking for it. This diet is basically about eating high-protein foods as much as possible. It is not too taboo about meat with high fat content, but lean meat is still the main focus, and try to avoid high-sugar foods. The purpose of eating this way is to minimize the amount of sugar in the body, so as to better control insulin secretion and blood sugar fluctuations. When insulin secretion decreases and the sugar level in the body is also low, the body will use fat as the most effective energy source.

It is recommended that if you feel that you are prone to obesity, you usually have a low tolerance to sugar, so excessive sugar intake will easily cause fat accumulation. This is why Gege recommends that people who are prone to obesity try a very low-sugar diet.

★The main nutrient ratios of very low sugar diet:

Protein: 35-45%

Sugar: 5%

Fat: 50-65%

Extremely low-sugar diets are not suitable for muscle gainers who undergo high-intensity heavy training.

★Six types of people who are suitable for a very low-sugar diet:

People who like to eat meat: Yes, it’s okay to eat meat in big bites.

People who get hungry easily: According to research, very low-sugar diets and ketogenic diets are the most satiating diets, so they are particularly helpful for people who get hungry easily (like me).

People who don’t like to count calories when losing weight: Because they get full easily, it’s actually very difficult to eat more than they consume without counting calories.

People who have been overweight for a long time and have problems with blood sugar and insulin: Since most of the foods that can be eaten in a very low-sugar diet are ingredients with a low pancreatic index and most of them are also low GI ingredients, it is very helpful for improving hormonal obesity.

People with hormonal obesity: Avoid many foods with a high insulin-raising index, so as to effectively improve insulin problems. The vast majority of studies also show that a very low-carb diet improves insulin problems more than a mixed diet.

People who like intermittent fasting: A very low-sugar diet and intermittent fasting are basically a perfect match.

★Five types of people who are not suitable for a very low-sugar diet:

Patient: Although many countries abroad use very low sugar diets to treat diabetes, if you are already taking medication or have diabetes, please first tell your doctor that you want to follow a very low sugar diet and ask for his advice. People with other medical conditions such as excessive stress, adrenal fatigue, and kidney problems should also consult their doctor.

People who are doing heavy training with high intensity to gain muscle: People who have just started heavy training can definitely gain muscle using very low sugar, but this may not be the case for people who have been doing heavy training for a long time. For example, I can’t gain muscle by using extremely low sugar diet, but the main reason is that I get full too easily, so it’s hard to eat enough calories. There is currently no research to confirm whether ultra-low sugar is not suitable for muscle building, but if you try it and find that the muscle building effect is not good, it is recommended to use a mixed diet.

People who regard strength as their life: When you start to implement a very low sugar diet, you will definitely lose strength. Usually it will take one to two months for the body to regain the lost strength, and then the strength can still steadily improve. But the initial loss of 20% strength will make those who regard strength as life extremely sad and upset, leading to depression and the like.

For those who eat out: It is still possible to eat out with extremely low sugar content. You just need to find buffet restaurants, hot pot restaurants, salted chicken restaurants, etc., which are restaurants that can provide large amounts of vegetables and meat. But if there is no such store nearby, it will be a bit troublesome.

Vegetarianism: It is possible to achieve low sugar in vegetarianism, but it is a bit difficult to achieve extremely low sugar. After all, if you want to find ingredients that are high in protein and low in sugar, apart from meat, there may only be eggs, tofu and the like, and the choice of ingredients will be relatively limited.
