The ALL ME® Podcast Strategies to Increase Your Fat Utilization – Bob Seebohar, MS, RDN, CSSD, CSCS, METS II Over 70% of the US is overweight or obese and it is estimated that 45 million Americans go on a diet each year spending $33 billion dollars on weight loss programs and products. These programs usually advise the cutting out or lowering of carbohydrates, the use of fasting techniques or recommend dietary supplements. But what if you could manipulate your diet and food intake to help you increase the amount of fat your body uses as fuel throughout the day? In this podcast, I speak with Exercise Physiologist and Sports Dietitian Bob Seebohar, on how to become more metabolically efficient at using fat as a fuel source. We also discuss macronutrient needs for strength vs endurance athletes, fat burning zones, the best ratio of carbohydrates to protein for blood sugar control, and why carbohydrates are demonized. Stay tuned until the end to learn more about Bob’s certification program and the only 3 foods he could survive on forever.
