They give us energy, help us retain moisture, and produce amino acids that our bodies need to function. But too much of a good thing can also have an adverse effect. Too many carbs can lead to weight gain, so it’s essential to know the types of carbs to consume and the best time to eat carbs for weight loss of 40 years and above.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ve probably heard a lot about the ketogenic diet lately. The ketogenic diet is an eating plan that promotes the consumption of fats and proteins and the reduction of carbohydrates. The diet is nicknamed “keto” because it makes your body produce ketones, which act as a source of energy. It’s a reliable way of losing weight because the ketogenic diet is a more efficient way of extracting body fat from your foods but with the goal to promote metabolic flexibility- and flex in and out of ketosis. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode, I am chatting with Peter Defty. Peter is one of the pioneers in fat-adapted performance.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">He is a nutritional expert and ultra-athlete who developed a safe and healthy approach to fat-adaptation for endurance athletes called Optimized Fat Metabolism (OFM). After getting into running around 2000, Peter went from being a carb burner with poor results to a fat burner with success in racing. He specializes in using fat as fuel.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:
