How Our Bodies Work

The body has a naturally programmed automatic weight gain/loss system. Simply put - if you eat more calories than you burn for energy, you will gain weight. It is important to understand that everyone's body metabolism consumes fuel at different rates. This accounts for some people eating little, yet gaining weight, while others can eat a lot and remain trim and slim.The principle of the Slim Diet programme is to tap into the body's natural weight loss system through controlling your daily carbohydrate intake. It is really just the weight gain system in reverse - if you eat less carbohydrate than you require for energy, your stored fat is burned to provide your body's energy requirements. It is therefore important to keep an accurate record of all carbohydrates you consume daily. One of the keys to our programme is the identification of your Critical Carbohydrate Level.
