HOUSTON – Do you constantly find yourself exercising and eating healthy, but still can’t seem to lose the weight? Your metabolic switch may be stuck!
New York Times Best-Selling Author and Physician, Dr. Ian K. Smith joined us in-studio to talk about ‘The Met Flex Diet,’ and he showed us a few recipes that will keep you on track to achieve your goals.
Metabolic flexibility addresses the body’s ability or inability to switch from burning carbs to burning fats, and vice versa.
Dr. Ian K. Smith has designed a 6-week program for YOU to become your own mechanic, when it comes to your metabolism. His program works for everyone, including those over the age of 50.
Humans have 4 stages of metabolism that highlight people between the ages of 20-60 generally having stable metabolisms.
Signs that you may be ‘metabolically inflexible’ may include:
- Feelings of anxiety and/or depression
- The urgent need for a type of energy stimulant like coffee to function properly.
- Difficulty losing fat
- Constant cravings despite recently eating
- Fatigue when not eating (fasting)
- Fatigue after heavy meals like pasta
- Fluctuating blood sugar levels
In ‘The Met Flex Diet’ you can still enjoy all of your favorite indulgences like spirits, wines, pasta and more!
Watch the video above for a breakdown on metabolic flexibility and some food options to get you on track.
Included in the video, you can see testimonials with real results from people who have tried ‘The Met Flex Diet.’
