The Three Priorities of the Metabolic Diet

1. Priority number one in the Metabolic Diet is switching your metabolism to burning fat as its primary fuel. This is done by limiting dietary carbohydrates and providing ample dietary fat. During this adaptation stage you don’t really need to change your normal caloric intake. Simply substitute protein and fat for your former carbohydrate calories. An easy way to do this is to stick to mainly meat, chicken, fish, eggs, hard cheeses, salads (watch the carbs in the dressing, and no croutons) and whatever vegetables you want (except for the starchy vegetables like potatoes, carrots and peas). As far as what to drink, that’s easy too. Water, diet drinks, coffee and tea (with cream and artificial sweetener only) are about it. That means no juices or any sugared drinks.
2. Once you’re fat adapted, the next priority is to vary your calories to suit your goal. To increase muscle mass you increase your daily caloric intake by increasing fat and protein in your diet. It’s usually a good idea to do a controlled weight gain first and then to drop that extra bodyfat while maintaining most of the muscle you packed on while you gained weight.
3. The third priority is to refine your physique so that you’re muscular and lean. To lose bodyfat while at the same time maintaining muscle mass, you slowly decrease your caloric intake and at the same time your fat intake. By providing less calories and dietary fat, your body will use its fat stores, not muscle, more and more to make up any energy deficits. In some circumstances, because of lower dietary fat levels, your diet may contain only moderate or even low levels of fat, mainly in the form of the essential and monosaturated fatty acids.
