One tool 🛠 I take advantage of when hiking for fat 💥 metabolism Drink a litre of lemon water upon waking and walk fasted for one, two 🏔 maybe up to five hours Society has us believe we need to eat breakfast as soon as we wake, we don’t. It spikes insulin and shuts off your bodies fat metabolising pathways. Split the word up ‘break’ - ‘fast’ the meal that breaks the fast from sleeping. You can break the fast at any point of the day and thus eat breakfast at any point of the day. The more opportunities the body has to utilise fats as an energy source 🕺🏼 the more efficient it becomes at it and the easier fat loss and fat management is People generally find it hard because their body isn’t very well adapted to utilising fats as an energy source hence they can feel ill, tired, headaches, grumpy… Their body has adapted to a constant reliant on carbs as a source of energy. It’s basically forgot how to effectively utilise fats as energy. It’s the same reason some people can find the first few weeks on a ketogenic diet difficult whilst others breeze it. Different levels of their body’s ability to produce ketones from fat to be used as energy Using this little ‘tool’ when walking / hiking 🥾 whilst travelling / holidaying 🏖🏔 can help with fat management, especially for the big evening meals and drinks. With practice it becomes easier and empowering the more your body re-learns how to use fat as an energy source. I find I’m less hungry, don’t feel the need to snack and my cognitive focus is greatly improved throughout the day Hiker: @themoonontheotherside #backpackingsouthamerica #wildernessvibes #backpackingculture #wildernesslife #igersmountains #solobackpacking #wildernessexplorer #mytrailmyadventure (at Fitz Roy, El Chaltén, Argentina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_KsaQBl0i/?igshid=zljd1ntu031s
