We all know that cheat meals are a part of training. They're a part of our nutrition plan-- restoring leptin levels, restoring glycogen levels. It does a lot of good things. We just have to make sure that we're focusing on how to make sure it doesn't convert to fat. You see, when we're looking at the process of having a cheat meal in general, what usually gets us isn't the fact that it's the excess calories. It's usually the combination of fats and carbs. You see, what happens when you consume carbohydrates, you have a spike in insulin. That spike in insulin opens the cell doorway. When the cell doorway is open, it's open to everything that's in the bloodstream, including fats. So what does a cheat meal usually consist of? It's usually combining some level of fats and carbohydrates. The carbohydrates, however, are the culprit. They are what is eliciting that insulin response that can cause you to gain fat. Insulin is the enemy here. So how do we reduce that?

In fact, there was a 2007 clinical study that took two groups of people. One group of people consumed white kidney bean extract. The other group did not. But both groups consumed a very high-carbohydrate diet between 2000 and 2,500 calories per day. Well, it was found that at the end of the protocol, at the end of this series, those that took the white kidney bean extract had a significantly less amount of fat accumulation and also had lower levels of glucose, meaning the carbohydrates were not impacting them as much.
