Episode notes
Insulin, Not Dessert, Drives Nighttime Fat Storage
- Dessert itself isn't the main problem; insulin response is what drives fat storage especially at night.
- Spikes in insulin after evening desserts shut down fat burning and cause rebound hunger that undermines weight loss.
Use Whole Eggs To Support Muscle And Metabolism
- Use whole eggs (including yolks) because they provide all nine essential amino acids and leucine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
- Build lean muscle to increase insulin sensitivity and raise resting metabolic rate so you burn more calories at rest.
Egg Yolk Choline Protects Liver And Metabolic Signaling
- Egg yolks supply choline which supports liver function, bile quality, and overall metabolism.
- Healthy fats in eggs slow digestion and blunt glucose and insulin spikes, preserving overnight fat burning.
