Angela goes solo in this episode and discusses how you can burn more fat and enhance your metabolism.

To burn more fat and keep lean you need to keep inflammation low and control blood sugar variability. Keep moving and get your 10,000 steps a day, complete strength training at least twice a week with some HIT training and focus on getting enough sleep and eating a plant-based diet. Follow Angela’s advice and you will be able to turn your body into a fat-burning machine.

 

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.
