Why Your Blood Sugar Is CRITICAL To Fat Loss Over 40
Well Beyond 40 - A podcast by JJ Virgin
What if I told you something as simple as your blood sugar could be the key to successful fat loss as you age? I want you to throw out everything you've learned about calorie counting, avoiding fat, and other outdated weight-loss advice. I'll walk you through how to eat your way to your ideal body composition. Blood-sugar balance is important for fat loss because it helps the body burn fat more efficiently. When blood sugar isn't balanced, the body is more likely to store fat and become resistant to the effects of insulin, leaving you less able to access that stored fat for energy. My #1 tool to help you stabilize blood sugar is always protein! In this episode, you’ll learn about the impact of protein on your fat-loss goals along with specific nutrients that can help manage your glucose response and keep your body in fat-burning mode throughout the day. I also share the foods to avoid that can sabotage your blood sugar. But it’s not just what you eat…it’s also when you eat. And let’s not forget the importance of quality sleep and stress management. I’ll talk about all of this and give you some actionable tips and tricks to keep your blood sugar balanced and your weight down.
