Visualization for Weight Loss -The Gabriel Method

The Essentials

The worst time to eat dead carbs is late at night because they’ll keep your body in fat storage mode 10 all night. That means you will be making fat all night. If you eat dead carbs for breakfast or lunch, you have a better chance of actually using the sugar, instead of storing it in your fat cells. The best way to eat dead carbs is with some source of essential fat, protein, fiber, or all three. Eat the fat, protein, and fiber before the dead carbs and it will slow down the rate at which the sugar enters your blood stream. If you’re out to dinner, it’s better to have the bread after you have eaten your appetizer or after you have had some of your meal. Also, pick the most whole-grain, seedy, nutty bread that you can get, as this has more fiber, essential fats, and protein. Here is a list of different types of breads, in order of preference: 1. Sprouted grain breads: These are usually found in the refrig- erated foods section of your health food store. They are made of sprouted grains instead of milled grains, and they are very good for you. Some of them taste excellent, but they don’t really taste like the breads you may be used to. You can cut slices off and toast them, and they go well with almond butter and banana slices. They make a great sandwich with sprouts, avocado, chicken, mustard, and other condiments and toppings. You can also use them for French toast. 2. Homemade breads: Buy organic whole grains from your health food store and grind them into flour with a coffee grinder. You can then use this flour with other ingredients in a homemade bread maker. Experiment with different grains, nuts, seeds, and fruits, and note that it is important to make the bread as soon as you grind the grain into flour. 3. Store-bought organic, wheat-free, and gluten-free bread: These are breads made out of grains such as spelt and rice and specifically say that they are gluten free. Gluten is a non- nutritious, gluey substance in bread that interferes with your body’s ability to digest and assimilate nutrients.
