E80 Monday Motivation- Get the "skinny" on Fat Adaption: Part One

In this two part series, Matt and Billy discuss the fat adapted nutrition program. With so much information out there about this subject, listen to this perspective to break it down so that you can understand better and decide what's right for you!
3:28 "Wired to Eat" by Robb Wolf
Are you doing this for health, fitness, longevity, aesthetics or perhaps all of the above?
6:36 I look good, but do I feel good? Don't judge a book by it's cover. Look at the whole of what is happening, not just what is happening on the outside.
8:58 Fat adaption: what does it mean to be metabolically flexible? We are born adapted to burn fat!
16:14 Who would be a good candidate for a fat adapted program? If I already have a higher percentage of body fat would I go to a fat adapted program? Ratio of macros is less important than the type of macros you are taking in.
18:55 Build your base! The food pyramid from base to top: Dietary adherence, macro nutrients/total energy, quality of food, diversity of food groups, nutritional periodization/fat loading.
23:27 Caloric set point: excess f all your foods is the problem, not one macro over the other.
27:31 To perform to your best potential, you need to fuel for the work required.
30:21 Who has the faster metabolism? NEAT: non exercise activity thermogenesis and BMR: basal metabolic rate
39:14 Nutritional periodization to meet your goals and how stress can impact your overall health and fitness goals
44:02 Conclusion of Part One and intro of what to expect for Part Two
