In this episode, Ben Azadi explores the crucial role of metabolism in transforming food into energy, essential for burning fat and overall well-being. He discusses the harmful effects of vegetable oils, which are more detrimental than sugar and smoking, and share a special drink recipe to help eliminate these bad fats. Dr. Cate Shanahan joins to explain how vegetable oils cause inflammation and chronic disease. Additionally, Ben details the unhealthy industrial process of making canola oil. He encourages listeners to make informed dietary choices for better metabolic health. PLEASE NOTE: The best option is to avoid these damaged fats as much as possible! Eating an animal based diet focused on saturated fat and monounsaturated fat combined with fasting and exercise is the BEST way to remove these bad fats from your body. The Special Drink for Fat Elimination To combat the negative effects of harmful fats, Ben introduces a special drink designed to help eliminate them from the body. He outlines the ingredients and their specific benefits: Ingredients and Benefits: Psyllium Husk: A soluble fiber that forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract, helping to bind to bile acids and dietary fats, promoting their excretion. Flax Seeds: Act as a mild laxative due to their fiber content, aiding in smoother bowel movements. Ground flax seeds release mucilage, which lubricates the intestines and facilitates fat excretion. Calcium and Magnesium: These minerals play a crucial role in binding to fatty acids and bile salts in the intestines, forming insoluble compounds that the body cannot absorb. This process helps lower bad cholesterol levels and supports weight management. Recipe: Mix psyllium husk, flax seeds, and a calcium-magnesium powder in water. Consume this drink first thing in the morning to maximize its benefits. 📍Resources Mentioned: 📍 Organic India Psyllium Husk: https://amzn.to/413vfjZ 📍 Spectrum Essentials Organic Ground Premium Flaxseed: https://amzn.to/3CMtldo 📍Calcium Magnesium Powder: THORNE Buffered C Powder - Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) with Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium - 8.32 Oz https://amzn.to/3VjPRRh 📍Studies: https://bit.ly/4eQnRvq https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12011-019-01687-6?utm_source 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here: https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals

Does cardio actually help with fat loss? Yes! If you don’t make these 5 mistakes that sabotage fat loss. If done right, you can use cardio to melt belly fat. Let’s start with the first mistake… #1 Overdoing Steady-State Cardio Why it's a mistake: Spending too much time doing long, slow cardio (like jogging) can lead to a plateau, increased cortisol levels, and even muscle loss. While steady-state cardio can improve endurance, it’s not the most efficient way to burn fat or build cardiovascular health. Fix: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or alternate between steady-state and resistance-based cardio. #2 Ignoring Strength Training Why it's a mistake: Many people rely solely on cardio for fat loss, neglecting the benefits of muscle-building exercises. Without strength training, you miss out on the metabolic boost and long-term calorie burn that comes from increasing muscle mass. Fix: Combine cardio with resistance training to maximize fat loss and metabolic health. #3 Doing Too Much, Not Recovering Enough Why it's a mistake: Jumping into intense cardio routines without building a foundation can lead to burnout, overtraining, or injuries. Fix: Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your cardio sessions to allow your body to adapt and recover. Track sleep, HRV and resting heart rate Discuss hormesis #4 Neglecting Nutrition  Why it's a mistake: People often overestimate how many calories they burn during cardio and underestimate how important recovery is. Overeating after a cardio session can offset fat-loss efforts, while inadequate recovery can lead to fatigue and reduced performance. Fix: Focus on balanced nutrition (high-quality protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs) and prioritize rest, hydration, and sleep. #5 Doing the Same Routine Repeatedly Why it's a mistake: Repeating the same cardio workout leads to diminished returns as your body adapts to the routine. This makes it less effective over time. Fix: Vary your cardio by mixing different types of exercises (cycling, rowing, running) and intensities to challenge your body and keep it progressing. 📍Resources Mentioned:  🥑 Fat burning keto recipes delivered to your inbox.
