Everything you’ve been told about fat loss is wrong
The truth your DNA can finally answer.

Good morning friends,
This is one of the biggest nutrition debates of our time.
For years, we’ve been told to pick a side - low-fat or low-carb.
But what if neither is the full truth?
The truth lies in your biology.
Carbohydrates break down into glucose, your body’s preferred quick fuel.
Fats, on the other hand, provide slow, sustained energy,
but your ability to use them efficiently depends on your metabolism.
The problem starts when you mix both.
A mechanism called the Randle cycle explains why combining high carbs and high fats in the same meal often backfires.

It spikes blood sugar, increases inflammation, and slows fat burning.
That’s why eating pizza, fries, or pastries (all high in both) can make your energy crash,
and your waistline grow.
Your DNA holds the missing piece.
Certain genes determine how your body handles these nutrients:
• AME1 — affects how efficiently you digest carbohydrates
• TCF7L2 — influences insulin sensitivity and blood sugar balance
• APOA2 — governs how your body responds to dietary fats
Understanding these genes helps you eat in alignment with your biology,
no more guessing, no more diet roulette.
When you do, you’ll notice more stable energy, easier fat loss, better sleep, and sharper focus.
So… are you a carb burner or a fat burner?
Your DNA knows the answer.
