Fat Problem, It's Easy to burn it | Cari Tahu

 

 Burning fat is the easiest thing on Earth. You are overweight because of hormonal chaos, hidden inflammation, and years of “healthy” bad advice. Here are 5 doctor-approved ways to lose weight for good:

 1. Eat more protein

Protein is the most fat-burning food on Earth.

Benefits:

• Boosts metabolism

• Reduces cravings

• Preserves lean mass

• Stabilizes blood sugar

 Aim for:

• 30–40g per meal

• Within 60 mins of waking

• Real food over bars/shakes

 

2. Fix your insulin sensitivity.

Insulin is your fat-storage hormone. If it’s high, your body can’t burn fat, no matter how little you eat.

Fix it with:

• No liquid carbs

• 12–16 hr fasts

• High protein + fiber Lowering insulin is the first step to unlock fat loss.

 

3. Stop chronic cardio. Lift instead.

3. Stop chronic cardio. Lift instead.

Cardio burns calories. Lifting rewires your metabolism.

Strength training:

• Boosts testosterone & growth hormone

• Lowers cortisol

• Increases insulin sensitivity

• Builds muscle = burns more at rest Muscle is metabolic armor.

 

4. Heal your gut.

Your gut controls inflammation, metabolism, and hunger.

A damaged gut

• sugar cravings,

• brain fog, and

• weight gain.

 Fix it with:

• Fermented foods

• No seed oils or fake sweeteners

• Magnesium + fiber

• Eat slowly. Chew thoroughly. No gut health = no fat loss.

 

5. Improve your sleep.

1 bad night:

• ↑ Ghrelin (hunger)

• ↓ Leptin (fullness)

• ↑ Cortisol & insulin

 

Fix it with:

• Morning sunlight

• No caffeine after 2PM

• Screens off 90 mins before bed

• Magnesium + glycine Most of our calories are burned resting.

 

Correct hormones

When you eat more energy than you burn, the excess is stored as triglycerides in fat cells.

Hormones drive fat storage and lock fat in your cells:

• Insulin

• Estrogen

• Cortisol It's not about creating a calorie deficit.

 

Burning calories is not the same as burning fat. Burning calories happens when you use any form of energy: Carbs, fat, or protein. You can burn 1,000 calories and barely touch fat stores if insulin is high or fat oxidation is blocked.

Reset Insulin and Trigger Fat-Burning | Cari Tahu

If your body’s insulin resistant, it won’t burn fat... it’ll store it. Most people don’t realize blood sugar habits can matter more than macros. Here's 11 cheat codes to reset insulin and trigger fat-burning again:

 1. Walk after every meal. Just 10 minutes can slash your glucose spike by 22%. Why? Your muscles act like sponges, soaking up sugar before insulin has to. 3 short walks a day over 1 intense workout.

 2. Eat dinner 3 hours before bed. Late-night eating spikes insulin when your body is primed to store, not burn. One study showed a 98% higher fat burn rate when dinner was moved earlier. This is the easiest metabolic win on the planet.

 3. Eat fiber before carbs. Always. Fiber slows gastric emptying and reduces glucose spikes by 74%. Salad before pasta. Veggies before rice. Order of eating over what you eat.

 4. Take Berberine (nature’s Ozempic). It improves insulin sensitivity, reduces blood sugar, and helps crush cravings. In one study, it worked as well as Metformin (but it’s plant-based). I took it for 30 days and was shocked by the difference.
