In this episode, Dr Thomas Hemingway explains why we were DESIGNED to burn fat over sugar; at any point in our body our supply of available sugar (from our bloodstream and liver glycogen stores) can only power us for 2-3 hours max and then we may we get hungry or "hangry" and yet we CANNOT store more than this because once the Liver glycogen is loaded up, we store it as FAT!. Yet the irony is we can't even burn that FAT unless we are in what one may call fat burning mode which doesn't kick in for hours after our last meal; longer if we have had any significant carbohydrates.  Hence the utility of intermittent fasting or time restricted eating detailed in a previous podcast.  Yet, this can be different and we CAN have more energy if we primarily burn Fat as our primary fuel source.He will explain why FAT is a better and more efficient fuel and which fats are better for us:  natural saturated fats or the polyunsaturated fats; and why.He will also go into detail about how much energy we carry in our blood stream at a time and which fuel source, fat or sugar gives us more energy and which is more efficient in the end and will keep us from getting hungry or hangry and in stead leave us energized for hours and even DAYS!You WON'T want to MISS this one!Book recommended:"Fat for Fuel" by Dr. Joseph MercolaRelated articles:  UBC researchers connect common fats to a lazy lifestyle and diabetes April 12, 2017  https://news.ok.ubc.ca/2017/04/12/ubc-researchers-connect-common-fats-to-a-lazy-lifestyle-and-diabetes/ Learn more about Thomas Hemingway, MD and upcoming episodes, tips, tricks and more here:  www.modernmedicinemovement.comAsk to join his FREE Private Facebook health Group entitled:Modern Medicine Movement Health and Wellness Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/2543880582493990/?ref=share Although Dr. Thomas Hemingway is a physician, he is not to replace your primary care physician.
