A1C and fasting glucose are not useless.

They’re just incomplete.

Your body can hide metabolic dysfunction for years by producing more and more insulin to keep blood sugar looking “normal.”

That’s why fasted insulin is one of the most overlooked markers in preventative health and fat loss.

Difference between fat loss and weight loss

Eating for weight loss and eating for fat loss are very different

Weight loss just implies I share solely about the scale weight

Fat loss prioritizes strategy to lose body fat, maintain/gain muscle mass, focusing on how we train and why we train to fit our goals

One involves blindly slashing calories and ramping up cardio or HIT classes

The other focuses on caloric intake appropriate to the physical demands as well building muscle

You will look diametrically different in each scenario

Weight loss vs fat loss

Eating for fat loss and weight loss are two separate things

If you are just pounding cardio and boot camp HIT style workouts while slashing your calories, you will most likely hit a massive plateau before ever seeing the results you want

Fat loss requires you are actually eating to preserve muscle mass and giving your body the environment to lose fat

Most people know how to lose weight and get frustrated because they hit a wall or don’t look the way they want

Workouts feel like 💩?

It’s likely what you ate or didn’t eat

Over the years fasting has become a fad people have used to lose weight and fat and I’ve found this only hurts your performance in the gym

If you want to build muscle and lift heavy things you need to eat like it

Meaning centering your nutrition around your workouts

Doing it on heavy meals or snack bars won’t get the job done long term

It will only leave you feeling weak and like you aren’t progressing

You NEED carbs!

If your blood sugar isn’t regulated, your hormones won’t be either

Order of priority is always to regulate your blood sugar first

If you are dizzy, have the shakes, even nauseous or waking up with night sweats….it could be a sign your blood sugar is not regulated

88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and cannot regulate their blood sugar
