Diet and Fat Burning

A meat-based diet provides B vitamins, trace minerals, co-factors, and complete protein that directly fuel mitochondrial function and is considered one of the best mitochondrial fuels. Diet accounts for approximately 85% of weight loss results while exercise accounts for only 15%. Consuming sugar before or after exercise causes the body to burn sugar rather than fat. Eliminating sugar and reducing carbohydrates shifts the body into fat-burning mode. High-volume exercisers often cycle through a sugar replacement pattern where burned glycogen is replenished with carbohydrates, preventing fat stores from being tapped.
