π₯If you want to burn body fat, you gotta eat fat. π And, limit/temporarily eliminate starches, sugars, and amounts of carbohydrates to reach your goals.
We’ve been brain washed to believe fat makes us fat and we NEED carbohydrates to stay alive and fuel our brains and bodies.π
π€The science is in…carbs are not essential for life and fat doesn’t make us fat, in the presence of low insulin levels and fat-adaptation. High levels of insulin makes us fat, which is a result from eating too many carbohydrates and not burning the glucose. π€
In short, insulin is secreted when carbohydrates are consumed. Insulin buffers glucose (blood sugar from breaking down carbs) to cells for energy (or storage as fat) as well as amino acids (protein) for muscle synthesis.πͺπ½
When we have chronic high levels of insulin, we are what’s referred to as “sugar burners” and fat-burning comes to a halt.π’
πͺπ½Carbs can be a tool if consumed appropriately for our goals. They’re not the enemy. There just needs to be an understanding for the biology behind carbohydrate consumption and clarity around our goals and what it takes to manifest those goals.
π₯If you want to burn fat, you gotta lower insulin levels, eat more fat, and initiate the adaptation process to become fat & keto-adapted.
Following a ketogenic lifestyle is the best way to burn fat efficiently, enjoyably, and it also supports your brain.
