#25 – Fats

Posted on October 9, 2018September 18, 2018 by Clarissa Thomas

Something we once thought was the reason we were seeing obesity was actually convicted wrong! Fats are extremely important for our growth, hormone balance and creation, and to get other nutrients to absorb when we eat them. We need fats and thankfully we love them too! Come listen and learn about what fats are, why they are important, how much you need and from what sources, and how the vision of fats has changed over the past 40 years.

Oh the dreaded carb! But is it really scary enough to be feared? We are debunking carbs today on the podcast and why they are really important for your body.

Six reasons carbs are important: carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel; carbohydrates are easily used by the body for energy; all of the tissues and cells in our body can use glucose for energy; carbohydrates are needed for the central nervous system, the kidneys, the brain and the muscles (including the heart) to function properly; carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles and liver and later used for energy; and carbohydrates are important in intestinal health and waste elimination.

On top of why these are important, I pass along my coaching tips and hints for getting the most out of carbs to help our energy and blood sugar levels. It’s a great listen!

As we learn more about nutrition, we are discovering that the way to build muscle and stay fuller longer is by protein. Proteins have amino acids which in turn, pair with our body’s amino acids to make proteins – proteins for growth, energy, tissue repair, etc. But mainly? Muscle!

Learn about protein with me and why ultimately it is important as I coach my clients to reach goals in their fitness and nutrition.
