Key Takeaways:
🔹 From Sugar Burner to Fat Burner
• Most people are unknowingly carb-dependent, leading to energy crashes, cravings, and inflammation.
• Metabolic flexibility allows your body to switch between glucose and fat for fuel, stabilizing energy and reducing hunger.
🔹 The Problem with Modern Diets
• Industrial seed oils, processed sugars, and grains are the top inflammatory foods to avoid.
• Flipping the food pyramid: Prioritize whole foods (meat, vegetables, healthy fats) over carbs.
🔹 The Metabolic Reboot Process
• Step 1: Reduce carb intake strategically (no "low-carb flu").
• Step 2: Incorporate intermittent fasting and nutrient-dense meals.
• Step 3: Shift from chronic cardio to zone 2 training (gentle, fat-burning exercise).
🔹 Sleep & Circadian Rhythm
• Sleep hygiene is critical for recovery, hormone balance, and metabolic health.
• Digital detox before bed (no screens, dim lighting) boosts melatonin naturally.
🔹 Exercise Reimagined
• Huff-and-puff cardio (intense workouts) drains energy and spikes appetite.
• Optimal movement: Walking, resistance training, and low-intensity cardio (where you can hold a conversation).
🔹 "Planned Deviation" Over Cheating
• Instead of restrictive diets, schedule intentional indulgences (e.g., a favorite meal or drink) without guilt.
