How will eating more fat affect my cholesterol levels?
When it comes to general health and longevity, research suggests that a more helpful metric than total cholesterol levels is the ratio of triglycerides to HDL. In healthy people who are unlikely to face heart issues, the triglyceride to HDL ratio typically falls below 1.5. People who eat less sugar and processed foods, even while consuming more saturated fat, have been shown to improve their triglyceride to HDL ratio. While cholesterol can still be a helpful measure, and can be greatly improved by increasing your daily fiber intake, it should be evaluated under the direction of licensed medical professionals through the lens of recent science.
If I’m increasing my fat intake, am I burning stored fat or dietary fat?
The body accesses energy in this order: blood glucose, blood fat, stored glucose, and stored fat. This is why we recommend extending the amount of time in the Fat Burning Zone. Following the nutrition principles, particularly 4-4-12, allows you to access the stored fat as quickly as possible. By keeping insulin low, you enhance metabolic flexibility.
What can I have between meals while adhering to 4-4-12?
