Teaching the body to burn fat for fuel is the best metabolic “bio-hack” that will help you drop weight more effortlessly, stop hunger and cravings, and reduce inflammation. This metabolic state will allow you to significantly improve your health and likely reverse many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, pre-diabetes and full blown type 2 diabetes.

The best bet to keep your body burning fat is to reduce your carb intake throughout the day. If you want to add some carbs in:
1) Aim for your dinner meal,
2) Focus on the cleaner carbs like rice, sweet potatoes, quinoa and winter squash
3) Eat them in moderation and if you can’t eat them in moderation (they are a trigger food for you) then don’t add them back in.

To increase your glucose/carb uptake, try these fun things about 1 hour prior to your meal that contains carbs:

1) Do a resistance workout (e.g. lift weight, do some squats, deadlifts, etc)
2) Take a cold shower
3) Consider taking a berberine supplement and/or put a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in your water
4) Consider making a no-sugar mocktail that includes bitters which has been shown to aid in carbohydrate metabolism.
