Where does body fat come from?It’s not from overeating protein, healthy fats or vegetables.
Why is it SUCH A SECRET in the news where body fat comes from?
Do we need expensive drugs to get rid of it?
What if Steak, Eggs and Guacamole could actually drop fat without drugs?
The Role of Carbohydrates in Weight Gain
If you’ve been told your high Triglycerides, blood sugar and weight gain are not under your control, you need to know the truth.
95% of the time:
EXCESS CARBOHYDRATES CAUSE
YOUR WEIGHT GAIN AND HIGH BLOOD SUGAR
You don’t have a drug deficiency or exotic chemical problem…..
This Scientific American article from 2013 says what Functional Health Coaches and Doctors have said for 40 years. It’s excess grains, starch and sugars causing this.
Enjoy a Lower-Carb Life! 
Most people struggling with Type 2 Diabetes and hunger cravings are caught in a blood sugar cycle. This results from eating high-carb, fast-digesting foods, then having a blood sugar crash and reaching for another high-carb food to “feel better” quickly.
With hearty meals, on time, with proteins, fats and vegetables.
It’s a physical phenomenon you CAN stop. Quickly.
Regulating blood sugar swings is my FIRST goal with Clients. Stable blood sugar helps us sleep, control cravings and addictions, manage mood, keep hormones balanced and Adrenals strong.
And, lose weight. If we don’t need to lose weight, simply add more potatoes, yams and fruit.
Insulin Resistance is the Problem
Average adult humans need approximately 75 grams of carbs a day. We develop Insulin Resistance when we keep requiring more Insulin from eating 200 – 300 grams of carbs daily.
After decades of this, our cells develop Insulin Resistance and won’t ALLOW more Insulin to escort essential Glucose into our cells.
Our cells are literally STARVING for Glucose
because we are Insulin Resistant
This causes food binging and elevated blood sugar which cannot be metabolized without concurrent exercise.
Where Does Body Fat Come From?
Unutilized glucose is stored as body fat.
It’s simple chemistry.
If you have excess glucose (carbohydrate) in your blood and are not currently burning it off with exercise (right NOW), the body MUST convert it to fat.
Where else is it supposed to go??
You Cannot Pee or Poop Excess Glucose
Unless loose stool sends your entire dinner down the toilet, fat can only be burned off or stored.
In your arms, legs, cheeks, waist, Liver, thighs….
Low-Calorie Diets Don’t Fix Obesity
Protein, Fats, and Veggies Will Satisfy Brain & Belly
Food deprivation is not the long-term answer.
Satisfy your Brain and Belly with hearty meals of Proteins, Fats and Veggies. This breaks the hunger cycle and begins to reduce the Insulin Resistance blocking nutrient absorption and hormone regulation.
Happy (hearty) eating! See my article and Podcast on “The Definitive Guide to the Paleo Diet” for more.
