How To Boost Your Metabolism & Burn More Fat

Can sugar actually help you burn fat? In episode 802 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes is joined by Mark Bell to explore the surprising science behind sugar diets, fat loss, and metabolism. Mark goes against what's normally talked about on the podcast, sharing insights on how carbohydrates, when approached strategically, can influence hormones, energy, and overall fat burning. This episode dives deep into the idea that being open-minded and experimenting with your diet, whether it’s high sugar, low protein, or high fat, high protein, can lead to better, more sustainable results. Robert and Mark also discuss why one-size-fits-all diets don’t work and how understanding your individual needs is key to making real progress.
