5 Things You Can Keep Doing to Stay Fat

5 steps to stay fat for the summer!

1) Eat 3 “squares” a day

Fewer meals each day will slow your metabolism to a halt. If you are looking to get fatter for bikini season, use this fail proof method for success!

2) Avoid protein with every meal

In Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, he outlines how including a protein with each meal affects the insulin response of food and thus its fat-storage potential.

The glycemic index (GI) was created to test the insulin response of various foods in order to help diabetics make better dietary choices. Unfortunately, some of the information is misleading. Various fruits and vegetables ranked high on the GI, such as carrots, which were said to be as bad for you as some refined sugars.

Where the GI is misleading, however, is that the studies done to determine where these foods ranked was done in a fasted state. Many fruits and vegetables will raise your insulin levels a very small amount, in comparison to refined sugars, when combined with a source of protein.

Again to read more about burning fat you can read this book. But, of course, this article is about making you fatter.

This means that consuming protein with meal will cause you to store less fat. So, if your plan is to stay fat – keep avoiding that meat!

Protein also increases your metabolism due to the thermic effect of  feeding. — but who would want that?

3) Drink Juice and other high calorie beverages

Fit people typically drink only water or zero calorie beverages. We don’t want to look like them now, do we?

In his book, Nate Green outlines his personal alcohol rule as follows: 1 drink, 5 nights per week OR 5 drinks in one night (per week). Avoid fruity drinks and opt for beer or hard liquor.

If you want to stay flabby, however, keep getting your drink on!

4) Eat breakfast cereals

Typically, those of us who eat breakfast cereals have been eating Captain Crunch since we were 12 years old. Why stop now?

Avoid whole grain cereals and make sure you exclude a source of protein if you want to stay fat.

5) Consume more carbohydrates than other macronutrients.

Gary Taubes and Dr. Michael Eads have written some monumental works available here:

Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage)

Protein Power: The High-Protein/Low-Carbohydrate Way to Lose Weight, Feel Fit, and Boost Your Health–in Just Weeks!

These guys are huge advocates of limiting carbohydrate intake in order to lose fat. They are not internet chumps, rather, they are high-level scientists and writers.

Science seems to be pretty clear: carbohydrates are what make or break a diet.

It’s very simple, eat more carbohydrates than your body can handle and you will store fat. Make these carbohydrates refined sugars, and you will store more fat.

While the in the 1980s the media attacked fat, another macronutrient, as the leading cause for fat gain, this simply is not true. As a result people have hardly any Omega 3 fatty acids in their diets, hence the rising popularity of Omega-3 enriched foods and supplements.

So if you want to stay fat – don’t eat fat – EAT CARBS. Keep in mind; we want to get that insulin pumping as hard as possible to ensure that we maintain our love handles.
