I hope you had a great weekend and happy Tuesday. If you listen us on Tuesday, hopefully had a chance to listen to my interview with dietician, author, nutrition and exercise educator Holly Baxter.

We discussed her health journey and lessons through competing as a professional fitness model. We also chatted about how to dial in your nutrition to meet your weight loss goals. The problem with too much restriction, Holly's tips on losing those last 10 to 15 pounds, her keys to hypertrophy training and much, much more. So if you haven't already, I highly recommend my interview. Episode 3 78, my interview with Holly Baxter. Now on today's micro podcast, we are gonna dive, dive into the pro metabolic way of eating. I've talked about this in the past and I've had Georgie dink off on Danny Roddy, Jay Feldman, and we have Kate Deering coming up as well. So if you're a health conscious individual looking to boost your metabolism and improve overall wellbeing, the pro metabolic way of eating might be the perfect fit for you.
Brian (1m 34s):
But what exactly does that entail? Here's everything you're gonna need to know, but before I get into that, if you're looking for guidance support in an individualized plan to help you lose weight, gain energy and strength, click on the link below for a complimentary 15 minute consultation. Now, metabolism is the process by which your body converts food into energy. It involves a series of chemical reactions that take place in order to break down and utilize nutrients from the food you eat into a TP. A faster metabolism means that your body is able to burn more calories and use more energy efficiently leading to weight loss and improved overall health.
Brian (2m 15s):
Now, this pro metabolic way of eating focuses on fueling the body with nutrient dense whole foods and balancing hormones through proper nutrition. The pro metabolic diet is designed to support and enhance your body's overall natural metabolic functions. This was popularized by Dr. Ray Pete. It's based on principles that thriving metabolism is the key to maintaining energy levels, hormonal balance, and overall health. Unlike restrictive diets, the pro metabolic approach focuses on nutrient-dense foods that nourish your body in keeper metabolism running smoothly. Now, one key variable is that the majority of your energy should be used from glucose oxidation because it produces the greatest amount of heat and CO2, in other words, the pro metabolic way of eating is about refueling your body with the right types and quantities of food to optimize metabolism.
Brian (3m 6s):
Now, how do you know you have a high metabolic rate? I'm gonna go through some of those telltale signs right now. A high metabolic rate is synonymous with optimal health and vitality. A lot of times it reflects the body's ability to efficiently convert food into energy, facilitating essential functions like digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. When your metabolism is running at a high rate, you are more, most likely experiencing high energy levels throughout the day, improve mood and effective weight management. If your metabolic rate drops processes like digestion, detoxification, sex drive, immunity and mental clarity can suffer. This could lead to a wide range of health concerns, brain fog, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, hormonal imbalances, and even sun chronic diseases.
Brian (3m 52s):
Now, recognizing signs of high metabolic rate can assess your overall health and wellbeing, and some of those common indicators could be your pulse and body temperature. Something I talk about with Kate during coming up. Also, the regularity of your bowel movements, which should typically range from one to three times a day. Also, a well-functioning metabolism can aid in reducing GI issues such as bloating, gas, or dec discomfort after meals. When the body is metabolizing foods efficiently, it typically leads to improved digestion and gut health, consistent energy levels throughout the day, avoiding the typical energy crashes that can accompany a poor metabolism, maintaining a healthy weight and having a healthy appetite throughout the day. Quick recovery from workouts is another telltale sign.
Brian (4m 32s):
If you're rebounding quickly after exercise, it may be a sign of efficient metabolic function aiding in muscle repair and energy replenishment. Lastly, a warmer body temperature. When you're working at a higher metabolic rate, this can lead to an increased body temperature indicating that your metabolism is working effectively to generate heat from the calories that you're consuming throughout the day. Now lemme give you some key principles of pro Metabolic Eating. Number one is you are on prioritize whole unprocessed foods, foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants. These are typically found in the pro metabolic diet. Examples of this could be for one, eating optimal carbohydrates, fresh fruits, cooked vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, raw carrots, beets, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin, onions, and so on and so forth.
Brian (5m 23s):
You could also get your carbohydrates from easy to digest grains like white rice, slow cooked oatmeal, sourdough bread, and then add-ons such as raw honey and even white sugar. Now, best proteins, dairy, eggs, cheese, shellfish, warm water, fish, muscle meats, beef, bison, lamb, occasionally pasture raised chicken, Turkey, or pork healthy fats such as saturated fats from coconut oil, ghee grass, foot butter, raw cocoa and beef large. One of the main things you wanna do is avoid foods that are high in what's called polyunsaturated fatty acids. I've talked about this in the past, such as vegetable oils, and these can be damaging to metabolic function.
Brian (6m 7s):
Now, one key principle of pro Metabolic Eating is balancing out your macronutrients not cutting out one or the other. Now, principle number two is balancing out macronutrients. A balance intake of carbs, proteins, and fats is crucial for supporting metabolic function. Each macronutrient plays a specific role in maintaining energy and overall health. Carbohydrates provide immediate energy, fuel your brain and muscles, proteins, supporting muscle repair and growth, also hormone production. Lastly, fats essential for hormone synthesis, brain health, and absorbing fat soluble vitamins. Next principle is something that doesn't always get talked about, but making sure that you actually eat regularly, not causing the body too much stress by skipping a lot of meals and restricting too much.
Brian (6m 50s):
So skipping meals can in the long term potentially lead to slowing metabolism and leading to energy crashes. The pro metabolic approach encourages eating small balanced meals and snacks throughout the day to keep your me metabolism active and your blood sugar levels stable. supporting digestive health, a healthy gut is essential for robust metabolism, incorporating some fiber rich foods as long as they agree probiotics and prebiotics into your diet to support digestive health. Next, hydration is vital for metabolic processes. Drinking enough water will help regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, and eliminate waste. Next, avoid extreme calorie restriction or just restriction in general, causing stress to the body, harming metabolism, where you could enter in what's called like a starvation mode, where your body is actually in this, your use your backup systems to conserve energy and slow down metabolic processes.
Brian (7m 41s):
Lastly, don't forget about stress and sleep management. Obviously, practicing stress management techniques to help lower cortisol levels along with getting good sleep can help support a healthy metabolism. So there you have it. Some benefits of a pro metabolic diet, increased energy levels, improved hormonal balance, better digestion, stable blood sugar levels, and enhanced weight management. So the pro metabolic way of eating is a holistic approach to nutrition that prioritizes metabolic health through nutrient-dense, balanced, and regular meals. By focusing on whole foods, staying hydrated, supporting digestive health and managing stress, you can boost metabolism and enjoy improved energy levels and overall wellbeing.
