180: Fat & Carb Energy Toxicity

If you want to be metabolically fit, it’s important to understand the way your body burns carbohydrates and fats as energy. It generally focuses on one fuel source at a time and, because carbs turn to sugar, it’s the metabolic priority. You can’t have too much sugar circulating so the body has to deal with it first. The problem is, if you’re keeping your body too busy burning sugar, it doesn’t have the opportunity to burn fat. This leads to fat accumulation and, over time, a less efficient metabolism. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to avoid energy toxicity so that your body can burn both carbs and fats effectively. We use strategies like the carb/fat seesaw, fasting and exercise in order to stay metabolically fit.
