One of the biggest things you can do for better, metabolic health is to improve your body composition. And that means that you want to make sure that you have enough lean body mass and not too much body fat. So what you want to identify is, what is your ideal weight? And then for your ideal weight for a woman, you want to have somewhere between generally think of 20% body fat of very athletic woman. While 15%, you do not want to go over. Five percent and for a man, ideally, you're going to have more round 10 to 12% body fat. Don't go over 15 and real athletic will be down at the five percent. So that's where you want to start and if you are looking this, you're probably noticing on the scale that you need to increase your lean body mass. Now, the way you increase your lean body mass, which the thing you're going to be increasing, is your muscle, is to make sure that you're doing heavy resistance training. A couple of times a week, and you're also supporting it with good clean Protein, that's bioavailable especially that has the brand change. Amino acids, especially loosing in generally, I'll dose that at somewhere between point 75 grams to 1 gram, per pound of ideal body weight. So if you're going really heavy, I'm going up higher in protein to build muscle. Now, as you're building muscle at one of the places that you're going to start becoming more insulin sensitive meaning you're going to be able to burn fat better and Improve your metabolism quickly and the cool thing with eating more protein is that's very satiating, and it's also very thermic. It's like, 30% more thermic than carbohydrates, or fat. So, if you replace some of your carbs and fat with protein, and you put on more muscle without increasing, how much you're eating, you will buy that very nature start to lose body fat. So that's how I like you to focus on it. Let's focus on getting to your ideal body composition by first focusing on getting more muscle and then you will able to burn more fat and if you want to get enhance that for a fat-burning, make sure you're moving more all throughout the day and then add in some high, intensity, interval training, a few days a week as well.
