You can imagine my elation when my newest nutrition and diet book, Fat for Fuel , became the No. I knew that many people now had the nutritional knowledge they needed to take control of their health. And I knew they had some of the best information I had ever amassed.
Fat for Fuel met its intended goal of giving you the why and what to do with your diet to shift over from using glucose for energy to fat for fuel. But you still need the how to part of the equation to be successful putting into action the dietary changes and strategies. Pete shares my passion for eating healthy, fat-burning foods. And he knows how to take these foods to a level that few ever reach to make them as enticing and delicious as they are nutritious.
The most important book I have ever written to date, Fat for Fuel will become your go-to reference as you travel on your nutritional ketosis, or ketogenic journey. You may experience challenges along your journey, and Fat for Fuel will help you find your way. For many people, knowing the potential health rewards that await them once they reach ketosis can dictate their level of success.
This is an area that very few ketogenic diet gurus talk about, but remaining in a state of ketosis for too long can bring about unwanted consequences. The Fat for Fuel Ketogenic Cookbook appeals directly to your taste buds and takes the mystery out of getting started. From basics like Beef Bone Broth, to showstopper entrees like Crispy Duck Confit, to irresistible treats, including one of my favorites, Chocolate Fat Bomb, these dishes offer exquisite eating at every meal.
When you replace carbs with fat for fuel, potentially:. Since 90 percent or more of the total ROS in your body are produced within your mitochondria , these fragile components of your cells are continually under siege when there are excessive ROS. Some are needed for crucial cellular functions, but too many cause devastating damage. Previously, it was thought excessive ROS could be addressed by taking antioxidants, but we now know that this was a flawed strategy and it is far better to prevent their production by eating an optimal fuel mixture.
Nor is it a one-size-fits-all plan. My MMT program is a highly customizable, multi-step process that can take a few days or as long as a few months to become fully fat-adapted. Everyone is different. Fat for Fuel walks you through the complete step-by-step process. You learn which foods and practices work best for you. My goal is to help you get there smoothly and as easily as possible, identifying and removing potential challenges ahead of time that can derail you off course. As a healthy child, you had healthy metabolic flexibility.
When you ate a limited amount of sugar and net carbs carbs minus the fiber and greater amounts of healthy fat, you were easily able to burn clean burning fats as your primary fuel. After eating a high net-carb diet, your body loses its ability to switch effortlessly from glucose-burning to fat-burning. This is largely unhealthy visceral fat. You need a certain amount of body fat to protect your organs, but too much puts you at higher risk for chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
By making MMT part of your everyday life, you can regain that long-lost metabolic advantage. And that puts you squarely into control of your health — and weight — like no other step you could possibly take! Similar to a ketogenic diet, MMT is a high-fat, low-carb, and moderate-protein eating plan.
But unlike a ketogenic diet, it emphasizes on high-quality, unprocessed whole foods. Paleo diets are one of the hottest eating trends today. Many people claim eating that way helps them feel more energetic. Others swear by them for weight loss. Paleo restricts grains, dairy, starches, and processed foods, but the diet allows some starchy vegetables, fruits, and sugars like honey and coconut sugar.
And it encourages protein from meat, seafood, and nuts and seeds — lots of it! Many people who follow the Paleo diet consume far too much protein. Too much sugar and too much protein can make it impossible to maintain a state of ketosis, especially if you are new to nutritional ketosis.
Your mTOR pathway organizes all the nutrient sensors in your body to regulate metabolism, growth, cell differentiation, and cellular survival. Researchers have discovered that low-protein diets extend lifespan in flies because they improve mitochondrial function and inhibit mTOR.
MMT or my version of the ketogenic diet provides very precise protein recommendations to help avoid activating mTOR and, at the same time, restore health to your mitochondria.
Consider your early ancestors Instead, they evolved to withstand extended periods without food. You and I are here today, so they obviously thrived. Could your body perhaps be equipped to function optimally by not eating? Fasting can rapidly accelerate your transition to fat-burning and immediately begin to improve metabolic pathways involved with many health challenges.
Think of it as a jump start to success Fasting also provides numerous benefits in itself. When you fast, your:. You can do a traditional 2- to 3-day water fast where you drink nothing but water plus minerals, or you can take your pick of at least 5 other types of fasts to make the transition to fat-burning even easier.
As I show in Fat for Fuel, switching to burning fat as your primary fuel is a very powerful strategy for improving the health of your mitochondria, and in turn, your overall health.
