In prehistoric times, humans had to hunt to get food. Sometimes there was abundance, sometimes scarcity. In times of food scarcity, the body switches from burning sugar to burning fat. In recent decades, our diet and lifestyle have changed considerably. We have started eating more sugars and carbohydrates and we have started doing much less physical work. As a result, our body increasingly opts for the easy, fast energy sources, namely sugars. These are always available in abundance in the body. As a result, we use the energy source for long-term use "fat burning" less and less and when the sugar in our blood runs out, we are tired and weak and want to eat more sugars. We often eat too much, which converts the sugars back into fats and these are stored, making us gain weight again. Due to the metabolic switch that you make with sports fasting to burning fat, we use the less easy, slow energy supply more often and for longer, and we maintain a more stable blood sugar level and we are less likely to crave sugars. We eat less (over) and stay slimmer.

From scientific research we know that people whose muscles are particularly good at burning fat (such as endurance athletes) are generally slimmer, more vital and healthier. In addition, they often suffer less from overweight or health problems as a result of the Western lifestyle and dietary habits.

The specific combination of sports, fasting and the use of certain nutritional supplements can influence the metabolism in such a way that the burning of fat by the muscles is stimulated. So-called type-2A muscle fibers then switch from sugar to fat burning. When making this switch, the body produces certain hormones and genes are influenced in such a way that the metabolism in the entire body changes. The genes in question are the so-called primal genes that enable humans and animals to hunt for food in periods of food scarcity. Due to social changes and current eating and living habits, these useful and protective primal genes are hardly used anymore.

The primal genes and hormones together ensure that the body will produce extra mitochondria (the power stations in the cells) and that the burning of fats is further stimulated. The energy production from sugar and fat will be better balanced as a result. As a result, the body becomes slimmer, the need for sugar decreases and therefore the pressure on the insulin system will also decrease. Because when muscles are mainly set to burning sugar, this causes a strongly fluctuating blood sugar level with a greater need for sugary food, resulting in greater pressure on the insulin system.

When your body has gone through the metabolic switch and you continue to exercise at least 2 to 3 times a week, do not eat too many sweets and eat limited carbohydrates, especially in the evening, you can continue to benefit from all the advantages after the treatment and even improve your results further.
