Wellness Wed: Fat vs. Sugar Burner

*****
Summary of Transcript:
In this video, Cindy Santa Ana, an integrative nutritionist for the Ammon clinics, discusses the difference between fat and sugar burners. She explains that our bodies are meant to be able to burn both glucose and fat for fuel. Still, overeating simple carbohydrates, eating too often, chronic stress, or sleep deprivation can cause insulin levels to rise, which blocks the body’s ability to burn fat and keeps us dependent on a steady stream of sugar for energy. However, this can be reversed by improving the body’s ability to burn fat, which involves balancing blood sugar, reducing external stressors, lifting weights, digesting food well, getting movement outside, and consistently including lean protein, leafy greens, vegetables, and healthy fats in every meal. Becoming a fat burner can lead to stable energy, moods, and better sleep, eliminating brain fog and cravings.

Understanding the Difference Between a Fat Burner and a Sugar Burner for Optimal Health

Regarding fueling the body, there are two essential sources: glucose and fat. Our bodies are designed to burn both energy sources, but did you know we can train our bodies to become more efficient at burning fat instead of sugar? In a recent video on Amen Clinics’ YouTube channel, Cindy explains the difference between fat and sugar burners. She provides tips for stabilizing your food intake and energy levels throughout the day.

What is a Sugar Burner?

Before we dive into what it means to be a fat burner, let’s first understand what it means to be a sugar burner. When we consume carbohydrates, our bodies break them down into glucose, used for energy. For most people, glucose is the body’s primary fuel source. However, if we continually consume high amounts of carbohydrates and sugar, our bodies become reliant on glucose for energy and can struggle to switch over to burning fat.

The Problem with Being a Sugar Burner

There are several problems with being a sugar burner. For starters, relying solely on glucose for energy can lead to blood sugar instability, which can cause energy crashes, cravings, and mood swings. Additionally, consuming high amounts of carbohydrates and sugar can lead to insulin resistance, increasing the risk of developing conditions like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

What is a Fat Burner?

On the other hand, the fat burner has trained their body to use fat as the primary fuel source. When we limit our carbohydrate intake, our bodies are forced to switch to burning fat for energy, which can lead to several health benefits. For example, when we burn fat for fuel, our blood sugar levels remain stable, and we experience fewer energy crashes and cravings. Burning fat for power can also lead to weight loss and improved metabolic health.

Tips for Becoming a Fat Burner

So, how can you become a fat burner? Cindy provides several tips in the Amen Clinics video. First, she recommends limiting your carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams daily. This can help train your body to switch to burning fat for energy. Second, she suggests eating healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts. These foods can help keep you full and satisfied while providing your body with the necessary fuel.

Finally, Cindy recommends incorporating intermittent fasting into your routine. Intermittent fasting involves limiting your eating window to a specific period each day. This can help improve insulin sensitivity, increase fat burning, and lead to weight loss.
