A fat burning food diet is one that will pack your meals with foods that are going to create a fat burning environment within your body.
Within the WLC System, you'll find a list of healthy foods that are perfect for burning body fat but in this fat burning diet I am going to narrow things down even further for you.
When you're trying to burn body fat, you'll need to create a calorie deficit within your body, but the trick here is to make sure your body is flooded with precious nutrients that gives your body everything it needs.
Most people, when attempting to lose weight, start eliminating more and more food from their diet without replacing that food with fat burning foods that flood their body with nutrients.
Or even worse, many people start eating foods such as frozen dinners and frozen lunches that contain negative foods that only take more nutrients away from your body. Processed foods should be completely eliminated from ANY diet and especially from a fat loss diet.
People have been doing it all wrong for a very long time. I'll show you the truth today, and I guarantee the excess body fat will melt away from your body. You'll experience very quick fat loss if you follow this fat burning food diet based on the WLC System.
Decrease the Overall Number of Calories
When using the WLC System, you will learn to flood your body with nutrients by eating only the best foods. If you haven't yet obtained your copy of the WLC System, you might not be able to recognize healthy foods due to all the marketing lies from food companies, weight loss companies, and other scammers.
Foods like frozen meals, protein bars, protein drinks, and packaged diet meals are horrible for your body.
Most people that switch to these diets will lose weight fast but their bodies will be wrecked afterwards. The weight loss came in the form of muscle mass so the people simply achieve the “skinny fat” look which means they end up looking and feeling worse because the muscle is gone but the fat is still there.
Yes, you have to create a calorie deficit with this fat burning food diet BUT your body will have a HUGE amount of nutrients because you're only going to eat foods that will flood your body with nutrients.
This is THE single most important thing you can do when decreasing calorie intake to burn fat.
The foods you choose to eat will make or break your results.
So, you are going to decrease the calories in your diet greatly BUT you'll fill your diet with the right foods so your body won't be lacking for ANY nutrients. And you'll eat a large variety of different foods too.
Limit the Overall Number of Carbohydrates
You're going to teach your body to use fat as fuel so you're going to limit the overall number of carbohydrates in this fat burning food diet.
But you're not going to cut them out of your diet completely.
You're just going to limit them for most days and most meals.
This will not include most vegetables. Vegetables are very nutrient dense foods so you'll be eating lots of veggies on this fat burning food diet.
Instead, you'll be limiting starchy carbohydrates and sugary carbohydrates for most meals. You will have a few meals per week that will contain a much higher amount of carbohydrates.
For example, you will be eating very low carbohydrate weekly on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Day 6. On Day 5, you will have ONLY 1 meal for Dinner that will be very high in carbohydrates. These carbohydrates will only come from good sources like oats, quinoa, brown rice, beans, and other healthy sources of carbohydrates.
On Day 7, you will eat higher carbohydrates the entire day. Again, all of these sources of carbohydrates will come from healthy sources. There are no cheat meals or free meals with this fat burning food diet. You will ONLY be eating the healthiest foods (as always) when using the WLC System.
One cheat meal can spiral you out of control so there's no cheating when using the WLC System. Junk food is not good for you at all (in no way, shape, or form) so you can forget it exists. You don't need it. Trust me on that one.
When you keep carbohydrates low on this fat burning food diet, you are forcing your body to use fat as fuel.
This Diet Will Be High in Protein
When you begin restricting the number of calories and carbohydrates that you are taking in, protein becomes very important to your body.
Your body will begin using fat for fuel but some protein is going to be broken down too. You don't want the muscle in your body being broken down for fuel so you provide plenty of protein through your diet plan.
To provide plenty of protein, I want you to be eating plenty of healthy meats at each and every meal. For example, a big piece of wild salmon is perfect for a meal along with herbs, spices, and a variety of vegetables.
You'll also be lifting weights a few times per week with this fat burning food diet so your body will need additional protein as building blocks.
You won't only be burning huge amounts of body fat quickly, you'll be lifting weights progressively which means you will at least be holding on to all of your muscle mass but you might even be adding some additional muscle. When you build some muscle while losing large amounts of body fat, you end up looking and feeling amazing.
I'll go into more detail later, but remember that your protein intake is going to be high on this diet plan.

Hi Josh everything is going great with my workouts but I do have a couple of questions, how do I build up the outsides of my pecs ?they seem to be lagging behind and how do I get rid of those ridiculous love handles? I also like the scriptures that you add in,God is great !
Rich
President of WLC says
Hey Rich, what weight lifting exercises are you doing right now in your workouts? I’ll help you change them around some to help with building your chest/pecs. For the love handles, can you tell more more about a typical day of eating for you? What foods are you eating each day? I’ll also help you with your diet. Cardiovascular exercise is one of the keys to burning the love handles off around your waist. Are you currently doing cardio? How often? God is definitely great! Glad you enjoy the Word of God. Words from God are extremely powerful and will guide us through life!
Rich says
Hi Josh
Working out my chest right now I’m using the cable machine just to change things. first I set the cables as low as they can go I do 3 set of 15 reps then I set the cables to shoulder height and do the same sets & reps then I set the cables as high as they can go and do the same sets & reps. all using 15 to 20 lbs. I get a good burn. then I do 3sets of 8 reps on the incline bench using 50 lbs dumbbells.For the love handles I do the side plank for one full minute on each side then I do the bird dog doing 3 sets for as long as I can do.(on elbows right hand out and off the floor with left foot up then switch hand and foot..I don’t do any cardiovascular exercises like treadmill but I’ve thinking that I should start.I eat healthy,Salmon, eggs,lean meats (as lean as I can get ) lot of vegetables, fruits and drink protein powder with water after every workout and when I drink fruit smoothies.
Thanks
Rich
God Bless
President of WLC says
Hey Rich,
What you are really doing with the above workout is pre-exhausting your chest with the cable chest flies. This then requires you to lower the amount of weight you are lifting with the incline bench press.
In other words, if you put the incline bench press first you would be able to lift much heavier weight. Building muscle depends on heavy weight more than anything else. Increasing the weight from workout to workout is what builds muscle every time. There are other ways to build muscle too such as ensuring you get a burn in the muscle group BUT increasing the weight to provide a muscle building stimulus is the BEST way to build muscle.
I would recommend to stick with only the dumbbell bench press and work on getting as strong as you possibly can on that exercise for the duration of a program. Use some of the weight lifting workouts you find here that give you a plan of progression.
You’ll see what I mean once you start using the workouts. The focus is not on fatigue of the muscle group. The focus is on lifting heavier weight each workout and allowing your body to recover. If you fatigue the muscle group as much as possible, this is NOT the best way to build muscle. You’ll get faster results for your chest by increasing the weight you are lifting on the best compound weight lifting exercises. For your chest, the bench press and dips are the best exercises for this. I highly recommend those exercises and all variations of those specific exercises.
Specific ab exercises or exercises that work the midsection won’t help much in getting rid of the love handles. The right foods as given in the fat burning food diet on this page and the right type of cardiovascular exercise will help you get rid of the love handles. Using the WLC System also lets you know when you need to make changes to the program to further continue your fat loss progress.
Please remember that fruit smoothies will have a lot of concentrated fructose which isn’t great for burning fat. If it’s directly after a tough workout, that’s okay but stay away from them at other times throughout the day and make sure they don’t have any added ingredients like sweeteners that are dangerous.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions, and I will help with anything!

You say that “Calories should be low on most days” without giving specifics. Just how low is “low”?
Josh, President of WLC says
For me, I hit about 1000 calories. You can try different amounts and measure results each week to see what works really well for you.

Hi Josh,
I just came across your site. You do a magnificent job of helping people, thank you so much. I have a similar background as you, struggling with overweight and for me, many diets, for too many years, yo yoing up to 275 pounds and down to 230 or so. It was impossible for me to get under 230 till I cut out bread and processed food which I have written about as well regarding eating real food daily. Who would believe that? So, I wondered what your view is on cholesterol? I have gone between vegan and paleo style but always feel a tinge of conflict with animal protein or not. You might have already written about it, but have not been through your site totally. Thanks, Hashi
