How many carbohydrates you need varies based on your goals, activity level, and body type.
Diet Jail
If you want to lose the most weight in the shortest time, then Diet Jail is right for you. Although Diet Jail only has 10 grams of carbohydrates per meal, the type of carbohydrates you eat will keep you full while you burn fat. Diet Jail includes mostly high-fiber vegetables as well as a protein and a fat source.
Say you’re getting ready for a special event such as a wedding or a vacation and want to look good in a dress or bathing suit, Diet Jail is the way to go.
As you get closer to your goal weight, the Diet Jail program has a unique way of transitioning circadian diet concepts into your life using carbohydrate cycling method. Carbohydrate cycling incorporates occasional refuel meals into your diet to keep your metabolism from becoming too complacent.
Circadian diet concepts entrain your body with the 24 hour cycle and allows you to increase your carbohydrate intake at night. A higher protein to carbohydrate ratio in the morning facilitates mental focus (since protein turns into brain neurotransmitters) and more carbohydrates leads to a good night’s sleep.
Kapha body types (endomorphs) do well on the Diet Jail plan because such individuals are carbohydrate sensitive.
Core Fat Loss
The Core Fat Loss plan is a lifestyle diet which allows you a greater variety of food choices so you can lose weight at a steady pace without feeling restricted. The Core Fat Loss plan allows you to speed up your progress because the food charts let you choose carbohydrates based on the glycemic index, which is the most important factor if your goal is fat loss. The glycemic index simply measures the rate carbohydrate digest and absorb into your bloodstream. The slower the rate of entry, the less insulin is produced. The hormone insulin, the only known fat-storing hormone needs to be stable and not chaotic.
Vata body types (or ectomorphs) perform best with a higher level of carbohydrates because these individuals have a hyperactive nervous system. Vata bodies are long and lean and they can eat what they want without gaining weight.
