Hi
Carbs have two fates if they’re not utilized… Store in the muscle, or store as fat.
We have the ability to persuade the carbs to store in the muscle instead of in the fat.
I have the basics here in this email, but the full video with all the details is right here on YouTube: Eat More Carbs withOUT Storing Them Video
But, I will still give you the cliff notes version here:
1) Move… Moving your body is the best way to suck up glucose if you ask me. It forces the cell to take up glucose that is in the bloodstream because it recognizes that there is a need for it.
So, after you have some carbs, literally go do 50 air-squats or some push-ups. It’s phenomenally that simply.
Also, the kind of carbs that you eat matter as well.

2) Chromium – This is a cool little supplement to carry around with you. I usually bring 500-1000mcg with me if I know I am going to enjoy some carbs here or there. It helps with what is called GLUT4 translocation.
What this means is that is helps the cell reach out into the blood stream and ‘grab’ the glucose that is floating by. This is what is called an ‘insulin-dependent transporter.’ So it helps the signaling of insulin so that the cells can use the glucose better.
I usually only use this if I am having an amount of carbs that is abnormal for my normal intake. So for me, if I am having more than 60-80g in a sitting.
3) Green Tea – This is just good to sip on all the time. It found that the active EGCG seems to help translocate that GLUT4 transporter again.
Interestingly enough, in this case, it happened even in insulin resistant rodents… which is wild because normally Glut4 works alongside with insulin!
The human studies show a nice response as well, but it needs more investigation.

4) Cinnamon – This one is interesting because you could bake with it and get some benefit, ha!
There was a study in Journal of Endocrinology Society that looked at pre-diabetic men that consumed 500mg of cinnamon 3x per day for 12 weeks.
The placebo/control group ended up worsening in their diabetes, where the cinnamon group seemed to not worsen.
The science is still bleak, but the results seem very intriguing, so it is worth a try!
5) 5:2 Fasting Strategy
This is an interesting one. This is a timing strategy that seems to have some powerful results in terms of increasing insulin sensitivity.
In a very short explanation, what a study showed is that even just fasting aggressively 2 days per week (weekends) and not fasting during the week (5 on, 2 off) made a huge impact in insulin sensitivity.
This is exactly the kind of long term solution that I am always looking for.
It’s fun to eat specific kinds of foods for an outcome, but realistically, we need lifestyle to really make it work, and I think this could be totally do-able for lots of people!
I hope that this gives some context and don’t forget to check out the video if you want to learn more!
See you tomorrow!
