Key Takeaways
- The quickest way to lose weight is to reduce the amount of food you put into your body from carbon sources
- You need to burn fat preferentially as a fuel instead of glucose.
- Clean up your diet and reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a huge issue and linked to many chronic diseases.
- Control your blood sugar variability. When the body has blood glucose it can either store it in the liver and muscles or as body fat.
- If you are looking to burn fat mastering blood sugar variability is key.
- if you are consuming foods rich in STAC’s this enhances the activities of sirtuins.
- You must be continually moving and strength training should be done 2-3 times a week
- Completing around an hour of exercise daily will increase your metabolic rate 7 fold
- You can enhance your metabolism by doing 60 seconds of exercise prior to eating as this has been shown to lower insulin resistance.
- The original stubborn fat 1.0 protocol developed by Lyle McDonald can be very effective in weight loss.
- Being under slept has been shown to affect weight loss directly and achieving good sleep is a huge factor in weight loss.
