hey folks Dr Mike here for out of sound securitization and today's BS video is about how to learn to burn fat for fuel like that but with that let's get into it the claim generally sounds something like this when you go low carb your body learns to burn fat is fueled brother they always say brother why do they say that it sounds sweet but there's a problem yes it's definitely true that you can learn to burn fat for fuel in high intensity exercise the problem is by the design of the system in your body that
burns anything for fuel fat is not the ideal fuel source for high intensity exercise and you know what is the great evil the eye of Sauron itself carbs I just had a vision the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings is like a Cheerio science finds your ass you're on a low carb diet you know what I'm saying and that shit goes zap and you're like you like crawl over to the ice cream and someone's like no Frodo don't stop going keto Sam was Sam wise doesn't help him right because what did he bring
like a bunch of like laminous bread or whatever motherfucker are we trying to get jacked out here and get keto'd up all carb diet you know the Orcs had it right and they might have meat in any case here's the thing anything faster than a very slow jog relies predominantly on carbohydrate for fuel so when people say you want to learn you know to burn fat as fuel they usually specifically refer to really intense exercise and that's just not a great idea can you learn to do it yes your body actually does get a little
bit better burning faster fuel even in high intensity exercise if you expose it to uh you know whatever protein kept equal higher fat lower carb diet especially if it's almost zero carbs yes absolutely your body gets better at it but the analogy there is like you absolutely can redesign a race car modify a race car to burn like 87 gasoline normal ass gasoline or petrol if you're from the rest of the world uh and it will run with regular gasoline and it won't Gunk up the engine but it'll run shittier because racing fuel is better
because it's optimized to make you go faster that's why the fuck it's racing fuel so if you're eating lots of fats and very low carbs to try to get your body to get really good at Burning fats for fuel you are redesigning your race car to burn regular gasoline and losing races all the fucking time now what if we're talking about fat loss it turns out that if you reduce any kinds of calories you burn about the same amount of total calories off and unless you're reducing protein don't do that that's stupid so whether you're
using carbs or fat you are burning almost exclusively body fat if you weight train and have a decent lock-in on your diet multiple high protein feedings per day regular weight training a calorie deficit of either carbs or fats Burns predominantly fats plain and simple and you don't have to eat exclusively fats it does not enhance your ability to burn fat and another thing is your body is a fat burning machine and exercise cool but exercise burns a very small fraction of your total calories per day and gets you not so lean most of your calories
per day are burned in just normal activities and a huge fraction during sleep you're not even exercising then so you don't have to turn into a fat burning machine you just have to create a small daily deficit keep your physical activity in check eat plenty of protein lift weights and it doesn't really matter if most the rest of your calories come from Mostly carbs mostly fats or anywhere in between you burn pretty much the same amount of fat and get the same level of lean period except if you do it with more carbs and fewer
fats you generally tend to keep more of your muscle on your body have better training and feel better for most people some people love low carb diet no judgment but a certainly very difficult to say listen go low carb teach your body to burn fat you'll have better results because you straight up won't in most cases so yes you can adapt to burn fat easier during exercise but that's not a net positive adaptation unless you regularly have to compete on low carbohydrates which is nonsense because in competition they let you bring any kind of food
you want with you if you want on a bike for example or an ultra run and at the end of the day eating low carb as a high performer when you have access to carbs and could be an even better performer is it's got the video that I can read it normal times on bullshit and stop running around and run over to the gym and lift weights nine nine and you can look at the big chest and you go through up to the endurance athlete at the beach and it's going to be like oh hello
sir you've got big packs a new shout out and you put your put your you kick the sand over in his face and then his girlfriend she's laying down you remind me of someone I think a famous actor an action star Arnold you're like yes it's me and then she's your girlfriend and then she's like we don't spend enough time together why don't we watch movies with me let's watch The Notebook and then you realize you don't even want a girlfriend all right see you later hasta la vista baby
