Why Practice the Metabolic Mastery Method? If you'd like to restore your body's ability to burn fat so that you have a consistent source of steady energy, free yourself from cravings, and let go of any stubborn unwanted extra fat, the Metabolic Mastery Method is your most important Everyday Practice. Without the Metabolic Mastery Method, your body is burning sugar instead of fat, leaving you exhausted, with cravings, more emotional stress and instability, and extra pounds around your belly. In Health and Joy, Jacob Griscom, Everyday Ayurveda President
Are You Burning Fat or Sugar for Energy? If you have become increasingly sedentary over the years, you have probably lost the ability to burn fat. If you eat multiple times throughout the day and don't give yourself a 12+hour break from eating each night from your last bite of food one day to your first bite the next, you have probably lost the ability to burn fat. If you have followed the trend of the Standard American Diet, with a foundation of carbohydrates, sugars, and stimulants, you have probably lost the ability to burn fat. Even if your constitution tends towards being thin or having difficulty holding weight, if you feel tired, anxious, and have trouble sleeping, you are likely burning sugar for energy instead of fat. This Everyday Practice is still the starting place for you to begin balancing your blood sugar. This is the typical environment for most of us in the West, with sugar in most of our foods, stressful schedules and demands. The result is that even though fat is the preferred energy source for your body, you've adapted to burn quick sugars and store fat instead. Sugar is quickly depleted as an energy source, which is why you feel tired, have cravings for more sugar, ride an emotional roller- coaster of ups and downs, feel restless instead of sleeping soundly, and have so much trouble carrying around extra weight. On the other hand, fat is a much more efficient and long- lasting energy source. It provides a steadier calmer energy, without the large ups and downs in emotion, and without cravings. When it's time to go to sleep, you'll feel a relaxed type of tired and sleep soundly through the night. Achieving and maintaining your ideal weight starts by switching your body's energy source from sugar- burning to fat- burning. This is really great news because it means you can start feeling better right away: more energy, better sleep, less stress, without big restrictions on your diet, and shedding pounds safely and steadily each week. When your body is burning sugar, your energy is up and down, you feel stressed, anxious, or depressed, you also hold a lot more tension and inflammation throughout your body. In the short run, this feels like pain: muscle pains, back pain, joint pains, headaches, etc.
Over the long run, you will have a much greater risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic arthritis, stroke, cancer, and other preventable diseases. That is why this is the #1 most important Everyday Practice for you to implement right away. The main focus of the strategy is HOW and WHEN you eat, not WHAT you eat.
Metabolic Mastery Method Principles The Metabolic Mastery Method focuses on eating 3 times a day, with one main meal, instead of snacking throughout the day. If you snack throughout the day, your body will not burn fat stores, it will just keep burning the meals you're eating. To get your body to start burning fat, you need to eat three meals a day without snacking. This will get your body to burn your fat stores and deliver its calm, stable energy. If you want to lose weight, you will start making your last meal of the day smaller and earlier over time. As your body adapts to burning fat again, cravings and urgency to eat will diminish and this will feel more natural. Smaller, earlier meals will increase the amount of time that you are burning fat throughout the night until eating the next morning. Again, you will only do this at the rate that is comfortable to you. Your body will let you know, and you shouldn't force anything. As your body adapts more and more to metabolize fat, you'll lose weight, and your energy and endurance will continue to deepen. You'll continue getting deeper improvements in your sleep and mood, and reductions in aches, pains, inflammation, and headaches.
How to Use the Metabolic Mastery Method Follow these 4 CORE steps to start burning fat instead of sugar for energy today: 1. First thing in the morning, drink a couple cups of warm water. 2. Sit down, relax, and have a big enough breakfast to get you to a mid- day lunch without feeling hungry. Don't eat ANYTHING else between breakfast and lunch, not even little snacks or bites or nibbles. Drink plenty of water, but no other beverages: no juice, no soda, no coffee, etc. 3. Sit down, relax, and make lunch your biggest meal of the day. You want to feel satisfied after this meal, and again, don't eat or drink anything other than water. 4. Sit down, relax, and have your dinner as early as you can. 6PM is a great starting goal, but the first priority is to get off of late night meals and snacks. Follow these 3 PROGRESSIVE steps to increase your fat metabolism and lose more weight: Note: Only take these steps as your body allows and feels comfortable and natural. Don't strain or starve yourself, and only follow these steps for 2-4 weeks at a time. If you tend towards being underweight already, don't take these additional steps. 1. Make your dinner lighter. Have a soup, salad or smoothie, instead of a normal dinner. 2. Make your dinner smaller and earlier. Eat less and finish before 6PM. 3. Every other night, skip dinner all together, and just drink water or unsweetened herbal tea.
