In a recent call with @Ray Thigpen he commented that he was unable to shift fat on his belly and yet he plays many hours of pickleball every week. His calorie burn is plenty BUT when you eat carbs, it causes a corresponding increase in insulin in your system. That insulin causes your cells to go into fat-storage mode. Once you have 'burnt' through the energy from the carbs, the body will start to use anything it can to create the energy needed, but not fat stores. The last thing you want is to reduce your lean body mass (bones, muscles, organs etc) As a first step I would suggest to everyone to remove carbs from your eating at least 3 hours before exercise. Try it. Within 4 weeks you will notice a difference. Then let us know how you go.

... before you resort to medications as your sole source of assistance. So many conditions can be improved via good food choices and good, regular exercise. Please make sure you try these before you resort to a 'medication' response

Before you turn to Ozempic. Before you done the Metformin. Before you gulp down some Statins. Ask yourself, have I tried every possible way of eating, exercise and metabolic protocol BEFORE you rely on medications. Nearly all of them have side effects, ozempic particularly. We are here to be your cheer squad. 📣 Metabolism starts in the pantry, the fridge, the stove, the air-fryer, in the gym or even just walking a dog.

Have you discovered the joys of an air fryer? I love mine. Between that and the small BBQ, that is about all the cooking equipment I need. Sharp knives and chopping board and life is good.

Kellogg's are promoting this rubbish and pushing that it has a 4-star health rating. Our health star rating system is so broken. Ignore these ratings for your own sake. OR Better yet, steer away from any food in boxes and/or barcodes That is totally absurd for a product that is; - 82% carbohydrate! - 24.6g per serve! That's the equivalent of 8+ teaspoons of sugar - and you can bet that most kids are putting more than 30g in a bowl. What shocking thing to feed anyone, let alone your own child.
