You want to burn more fat, right? Sure, doesn’t everyone?

Well, what if I told you burning more fat could be as easy as using your two legs. Specifically, walking.

Walking for better health is no secret. 

But, taking a short walk after eating might be one of the underutilized, simplest and effective ways to improve your body’s ability to burn fat. 

Wait, what?

It’s all about Metabolic Efficiency Training and optimizing blood sugar!!!

After a meal, your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which enters your bloodstream. This process can cause a blood sugar spike, especially if you are not following my optimal carbohydrate to protein ratio (discussed in my newest edition book). 

When blood sugar spikes, insulin swoops in and lowers your blood sugar. However, what not many people know is that when insulin is high (because of high blood sugar because you did not optimize your carbohydrate to protein ratio) it significantly reduces your body’s ability to burn fat. NOT WHAT YOU WANT!

Back to where walking fits in…

Walking after eating can help you burn more fat in the following ways:

• Improves insulin sensitivity: Light physical activity, like walking, helps your muscles use glucose more efficiently, reducing the need for insulin.
• Lowers blood sugar and insulin spikes: Just a 15-minute walk after a meal has been shown to reduce post-meal blood sugar levels significantly.
• Prevents crashes and cravings: Regulated blood sugar levels help prevent energy crashes and sugar cravings later in the day.
  

So, what should you do?

Step one is to always try your best to optimize your blood sugar using the Metabolic Efficiency Training concept (watch my FREE masterclass HERE). 

Of course, I know life gets in the way at times so step two (which I should actually combine into step one because it is THAT IMPORTANT) is to walk for AT LEAST 15 minutes after you eat…meals and/or snacks!

Sounds pretty simple, right? That’s because it is!

As long as you can start making walking after a meal and/or snack a habit, you will be on the road to burning more fat and reaping all of the benefits that come with it. Schedule a 15-minute walk after you eat. Remember, it can also help reduce stress, improve cognitive functioning and support better sleep.
