Let’s talk metabolic flexibility!🔥the forgotten SWITCH for many!
.
90% or more of the population are NOT metabolically flexible. 
.
Meaning their bodies are NOT conditioned to burn 2 fuel sources.
.
The 2 fuel sources our bodies run off of are CARBS 🥯 🍝 and FATS 🥑🧈 
.
If someone eats a carb heavy diet, and eats often (snacking and grazing all day/night), carbs (glucose) is the primary fuel source the body will run off of.
.
Glucose has a limited amount of storage in the body.👎 
.
A sugar burner has approx. 1500-2000 calories of stored carbohydrates (glycogen). Most of it is stored in the liver and some in the muscles. 
.
A fat burner depending on the size of the individual has between 50,000 - 100,000 CALORIES you can utilize for energy🔥‼️
.
As a Fat Burner🔥if you miss a meal (NO BIG DEAL) your body is conditioned that it can tap into your stored body fat and utilize that for⛽️ fuel!
.
Whereas if a sugar burner misses a meal, you need to top up the glycogen stores so you don’t get Hannnngry😡
.
Fat is meant to be a storage form of 💥energy! But if the diet is consistently flooded with carbs this metabolic pathway WON’T be activated.
.
✨Metabolic flexibility✨is created when we reduce carb intake, consistently burn fat for fuel (at least  4 weeks) and it is helpful if we implement a form of intermittent fasting. 
.
When your body is Metabolically Flexible 
It’s similar to a hybrid car 🚘 
.
It’s able to run off 2 fuel sources very ✅efficiently. 
.
If carbs are present the body will burn through those first, then transition back to utilizing fat for energy‼️
.
This is how are body's are designed to function and how our ancestors ate!🙌
.
When you are metabolically flexible you have LIMITLESS amount of fuel ⛽️ you can access. 
.
Your energy is smooth, consistent, steady and you have more control over your hunger and your health!
.
You ready to become metabolically flexible for 2024 ✨and tap into your BIOLOGICAL right!?
