It’s not excess calories, it’s not chocolate, gluten, or carbs.. 

It’s chronic inflammation - what causes it?

• Consumption of heated, rancid vegetable oils
• A stressful lifestyle and
• Sleep deprivation

All 3 of these can make fat cells resistant to dying!

1. Limit Exposure to Rancid Oils - What is that?

Canola, Safflower, Peanut, Soybean and Sunflower Oils.Which all contain omega 6-rich, inflammatory polyunsaturated fats. These are commonly used in restaurants and are in comfort foods like french fries, pizza, chicken wings, packaged sushi and even trail mix

Over-consuming omega 6 fats and under-consuming omega 3 fats significantly increases:

• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Obesity
• Metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Inflammatory bowel syndrome
• Macular degeneration (eye damage and blindness)
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Asthma
• Cancer
• Psychiatric disorders
• Autoimmune disease
• 
  

As you can see, a diet high in omega 6 fats is not ideal for optimal health.

What types of oils and fats should we choose that protect our heart and brain and reduce inflammation? Extra-virgin, cold-pressed, organic coconut oil, Extra-virgin, cold-pressed, organic olive oil, along with Grass Fed Ghee, butter and tallow are great cooking options too. Fatty fish—sardines, mackerel, herring and wild salmon—that are rich in omega 3 fats. Along with grass fed meats and avocado.

2. Control Chronic Stress

• Every time you're stressed, your adrenal glands release adrenaline and cortisol, and as a result, glucose (your primary source of energy) is released into your bloodstream. All of this is done to give you the energy you need to escape from a risky situation - known as the fight or flight response - what I do to relieve stress...
• Viscous cycle - get stressed, release cortisol, gain weight, crave more sugar, eat more sugar, gain more weight.

3. Make Sleep a Priority (Check out Episode 21)

• Research shows that getting between 4-5 hours of sleep per night causes insulin resistance and high glycemic variability leading to diabetes, cravings and weight gain
• What to do? Turn off phone, Don’t eat close to bed and sleep in a cool environment

So there you have it! Eliminate chronic inflammation by avoiding veggie oils, controlling chronic stress and making sleep a priority!

These three steps will go a long way to help you optimize your health and reach your weight loss goals. Thanks so much for listening!
