LEVER WITH FAT

In order to create a nutritious meal that supports both your fat loss/weight loss goals and metabolism, remember this golden guideline: Prioritize protein, Control your carbohydrate intake and Lever with healthy fats.

What does lever mean?

In essence, the natural fats found in meats and whole cheeses are integral components of these whole foods, forming part of their unaltered natural composition.

Many people add fats to their meals for various reasons, such as enhancing flavor or helping them to feel more satiated. Fat is 'used' as a lever to help individual needs based on that.

For example, if someone is overweight, there is no necessity to include fats in natural meats and cheeses. Why?

Remember the rule is keeping the carbs low enough so the insulin is low enough, so that their body can turn into the Fat Burning Zone, allowing excess fat cells to metabolize it's stores.

When someone is overweight and consumes additional fats, the body will prioritize metabolizing the newly added fats before turning to the ones stored in the adipose fat tissues.

That's why fat is a lever. It can be added or not, depending on your purpose and where you are at on your health journey, are you in your weight and have a satiation need?

Protein intake is the goal.

Getting carbs low enough is a goal.

But adding in fats? Think about it and use it as a lever.
