You wouldn’t put low-grade fuel in a high-performance car.

It might run.

And not for long.

Your body works the same way.

We’re taught to use cheap fuel.
Chronic disease is the result.

Make sure you don’t run a high-performance engine on the wrong fuel.🧵 Many chronic health problems stem from a widely taught idea:

“Glucose is the body’s preferred energy source.”

This concept is taught across medical and nutrition programs worldwide.

But it does not align with human physiology.

Chances are, you’ve fallen into the biggest weight-loss trap: watching the scale every day.

Here are 11 reasons you should never weigh yourself:

1/ Water weight… 🧵 Initial quick weight loss is primarily due to losing fluids.

Glycogen stored in the liver holds significant amounts of water.

Ever wonder why the French eat bread and pasta so often…

But don’t struggle with obesity like we do in the U.S.?
