In nature, high sugar foods are never accompanied with fat. 🍯🥓

Our metabolism is adapted to this. If you consume high fat and sugar together (called swamping), the sugar will be converted to saturated fat on the body so that digestion can favor the inputs that are harder to digest: fat. 🐖

This is called the Randle Cycle, and it's why #FruitTillNoon, which pushes off fat (and even protein) sources to later in the day, melt the fat off the body by enhancing metabolism via optimizing the glucose pathway. 🍊

This is valuable information

For a while I was doing fat and protein first and putting off carbs until dinner. Better to do that in reverse then?

Yes. Carbs should follow the sun. Earlier is better. You don't want loads of glucose in the blood at sundown.

The hardest part for me is having coffee + water + maple syrup instead of with milk.

Would you advise against butter and coconut oil blended in my morning coffee?

#askpeatstr 😃

If your goal is to melt fat off the body by exploiting the Randle Cycle I would either push both to your fat window or experiment with only coconut oil, which is suspected to be hyper metablized via a different mechanism than typical fat due to it's high MCT content.

So full fat ice cream is really bad?

Laser 8mo ago

If you are lean, muscular, with optimized fat and glucose metabolism, it's perfectly fine. Especially if it's your only form of swamping. Seek raw milk ice cream.

If you don't have great health, then ice cream is going to get in your way, metabolically speaking.

It's a no no for fat loss, and for most people it is fattening.

I remember Rhonda Patrick mentioning something like this on Rogan. Eating saturated fats does no lead to heart disease, but she mentioned that there is evidence that saturated fats with sugar does. What resources would you recommend to learn about this?

Wait I’m confused. So maple syrup and honey on my ribeye is good?

You’re gonna make me eat fruit all morning…

This sounds completely contradictory to everything I have ever learnt about digestion. Typically the food sources that are easiest to use (sugar) are used first because the body has to do a lot more work to use fat as energy. Where can I read more about the digestive and metabolic processes you’re describing?

Not true - coconut 🤷🏼
