Our bodies burn two types of fuel: sugar or fat

An awful lot of people have been conditioned to be sugar burners rather than fat burners, which I am sure is a huge contributor to our obesity epidemic.

Being a sugar burner means you are probably insulin dominant and insulin tells the body to store fat rather than use the existing fat already found on our hips, bellies, and derrières. Sugar burners are often hungry, often can’t go more than a few hours without food, and tend to eat foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. Being a sugar burner is a lot like putting small twigs on a fire – you have to keep adding more and more to keep the fire going.

Being a fat burner, on the other hand, is the preferred metabolic state. Fat burners tap into stored fat to stay energized throughout the day. If you can miss a meal and go hours without feeling ravenous or craving carbs, you are probably a fat burner! It’s like putting a large log on a fire – it can keep burning for hours.

The following information is adapted from “Be a Fat Burner” at healthy-living.org

Fat is a more efficient energy source than is sugar (releasing more than twice as much energy than is released by burning sugar), so when fat, is burned for energy, FAR fewer free radicals (damaging elements) are released than if sugar is burned.

Unfortunately, most people’s cells are in a sugar-burning mode, i.e. have been ‘conditioned’ to burn SUGAR, with a whole host of resulting bad consequences.

The signs and bad consequences that you will have if you are a sugar burner include:

Abdominal fat or high percentage of body fat (anything over 20%)
Cravings for sugar
Age spots on your skin (these are actually glycation or sugar cross-linking marks)
Sugar burners often have large pantries of stored fat, but the cells of their bodies ignore that fat and look only for sugar.

How to Become a Fat Burner

Eat generous amounts of good fats
Eat sufficient amounts of protein
Eat high amounts of low calorie vegetables
Eat only enough carbohydrate to perform daily labors.
Eat very little sugar.

In “Shape Shifting” http://stopeatingyourheartout.com/201..., I discussed two ways (High Intensity Interval Training and Corsentials) to increase muscle so you become a fat burner.

In addition, Dr. Jonny Bowden’s latest program, “New You in 22” provides a very affordable program that will enable your body to become a fat burner.

The New You in 22 Program is unusual, easy to do, only takes 22 days – and surprisingly inexpensive. The cool thing is that it upgrades your metabolism so you feast on fat…giving you a leaner body, more sustained energy, and a sharper mind… in ONLY 22 days!
