Hello everybody welcome back to the primal potential podcast I am Elizabeth

Benton I hope you are having a wonderful day today we are talking nutrition

today specifically we are going to revisit the We are talking nutrition today.

Specifically, we are going to revisit the golden rules of carbs and fat loss.

I probably mention them several times a month.

I first did an episode on this idea. I didn't get it from anywhere. It just sort of evolved

from my nutrition education, my own fat loss experience, and my work with thousands of clients. I first talked about it back in

episode 195 and I always refer people back to that episode but of course that was

years and years ago so I thought it would be great to revisit it, answer some of the most common questions about it.

This is a strategy following what I call the golden rules of carbs and fat loss,

which might as well be called the golden rules of carbs

and energy, or the golden rules of carbs

and balancing blood sugar, or the golden rules of carbs and supporting your hormones, all of the above.

It's been a huge key for me not only when I've been in weight loss phases, but also it's a great structure for me to eat in a way that makes me feel as energized as possible and supports blood sugar maintenance and overall

hormonal balance. Obviously I've had pregnancies and periods of postpartum and after all of my pregnancies I've had

what's referred to casually as a postpartum thyroid storm,

meaning that in that postpartum period where your hormones are just all over the place,

it's like they initially fall off a cliff, and then as your milk comes in and you're breastfeeding more regularly and your sleep deprived is just wild hormonal experience.

I've had this thyroid rebellion after all of my pregnancies and

eating in this way really helps my thyroid but it's also very supportive of weight loss which is why I call it the golden rules of

carbs and fat loss. Of course this is not the only way to lose weight. Nothing is. It's not the only way to lose weight. Nothing is.

It's not the only way to balance blood sugar or to support energy.
