Saturated Fats. #CompleteIdiotsGuidetoFlourFreeEating

Again and again, we're told to consume less saturated fat because it raises cholesterol and increases our risk of heart disease. This statement oversimplifies the role of saturated fats.
Saturated fat is a fatty acid produced from triglycerides. Unlike other fats, it's fully saturated with hydrogen atoms and therefore becomes solid at room temperature. Saturated fats are further classified as long-, medium, and short-chain triglycerides. The majority of fat-bases foods we eat are long-chain triglycerides.
Saturated fats are found in numerous food products, including the following:
-Short-Chain Triglycerides: Cow's milk, Sheep's milk, Goat's milk
-Medium-Chain Triglycerides: Coconut oil, Palm kernel oil, Butter
-Long-Chain Triglycerides: Butter, Red meat, Chocolate, Solid Shortenings, Eggs

Exploring the Link Between Gut Microbes and #Diabetes. #Usnews

We carry almost six pounds of microbes in our gut, which forms our gut microbiome. Each individual has a unique gut microbiome (also known as gut microbiota) based on a number of factors such as genetic background, diet, antibiotics exposure and age. Your gut microbiota is personalized like a signature.
This unique mix of bacteria is diverse and responsible for numerous functions. For instance, some of our gut bacteria protect against external bacteria and support our immune system. They also help regulate intestinal hormone secretion and synthesize vitamin K and several B vitamins, including folate and vitamin B12.

Despite popular belief, yeast overgrowth isn't something that only affects women. #StubbornFatFix

Plenty of men have it, too. We recently treated an executive who had been diagnosed with sleep apnea and was using a breathing machine to keep his windpipe open at night. It turned out that a yeast overgrowth in his GI tract was causing an excessive amount of post-nasal drop. Within 4 days of starting a diet, the man was no longer using his breathing machine, and his wife no longer complained of him snoring.

Limiting carbohydrates will trigger your body to burn through its stores of glycogen and carbohydrate. #StubbornFatFix

Once your body depletes these reserves - a process that takes roughly 2-3 days, depending on your activity level - your body will preferentially burn fat for fuel, and your weight will drop quickly. This switch to fat burning will help reduce insulin levels, quieting your hunger and allowing you to feel more satisfied.
