Summary

On today's Fat-Burning Man Show, we have a returning guest expert Dr. Sara Gottfried, author of The Hormone Cure. On this show, Dr. Sara talks about carbs! Why low-carb can sometimes be too low, and why most of the fatloss information out there is wrong.

Quickie Update

This week, I'll be speaking at PaleoFX, one of America's largest and most notable wellness symposiums that promotes the ancestral approach to eating and health. This convention is jam-packed with speakers and rockstars like Jonathan Bailor, Dave Asprey, Robb Wolf, Chris Kresser, Mark Sisson, Dr. Terry Wahls, Stefani Ruper, and loads more. It's a bona fide Paleo who's who. I'll be hosting a panel with Mark Sisson and Robb Wolf, Jonathan Bailor is coming over to my place to shoot a few videos, and there will be more than a few "surprises." If you're coming to PaleoFX in person, please swing by and say hello! Jonathan Bailor, bestselling author of The Calorie Myth, is coming by the house and we're going to have a feast. We're also going to be filming even more cuts for our upcoming video course called "Fat Loss Masterclass." We're launching soon (or if you're listening to this "in the future," then you can check it out it) at FatLossMasterClass.com. Much more to come about Fat Loss Masterclass and other fun projects. In this show with Dr. Sara, we chat about:

  • Why most fat loss information you hear is wrong
  • What you need to know about going "too low carb"
  • Why 150 carbs a day might make you fat OR skinny
  • How Sara is hacking her cortisol that came from writing too many awesome books

Enjoy the show.
