In this video, we’re going to talk about weight loss and how to burn fat. Fat burning is a big problem for many people because of so many myths and misconceptions about how to lose belly fat. 

There are two major fuel sources that the body uses—stored sugar and fat. The fat burning hormones trigger the fat in the body, which is then absorbed by fat enzymes and release ketones (which is an efficient source of energy). Fat-making hormones trigger the storage of sugar and convert sugar into fat. Most people are burning sugar, which then converts to glucose and not fat burning. 

The single most important factor that determines whether a person burns belly fat or sugar is insulin. Insulin, even in a smaller amount, can stop fat burning. Sugar (or insulin) has to be zero in order to burn fat fast. 

Ketosis is the healthiest way to burn fat for the heart and brain. To get into ketosis, the carbohydrates have to be 5-10%, the proteins should be 25%, and the fats should be 65-80% in a daily diet.  

**I made 1 math mistake on the eggs. The correct answer is this: 1 egg yolk is 138 grams of cholesterol, and it would take 14 and a 1/2 egg yolks to equal the amount of cholesterol your body makes in one day.
