TMHS 212: Carb-Cycling For Fat Loss And The Sweet Potato Diet - With Michael Morelli

Published: April 5, 2017, 2:01 a.m.

I remember playing the hot potato game when I was a little kid. The music plays, and the \u201chot potato\u201d (usually a tiny beanbag) is passed around by kids in a circle. When the music stops, if you\u2019re the unlucky one holding the potato, you\u2019re out! The potato makes you lose.

Well, maybe that silly (and fun!) kids game was onto something. According to our guest today, if you get caught with the potato in your hand (specifically a sweet potato) then you will lose yet again\u2026 but this time the loss is in body fat.

Michael Morelli is an absolute superstar in the fitness space. With over 4 million followers and fans on his social media platforms, he\u2019s one of the strongest voices in the health movement today. This guy is super fit, and he\u2019s helped thousands of other people get super fit. One of the tools of the trade:\xa0The Sweet Potato Diet. It\u2019s a real food, intelligent carb-cycling approach that just flat-out gets results.

As you\u2019ll discover today, carb-cycling is a valuable tool that\u2019s heavily underutilized because major media hasn\u2019t been talking enough about it. In truth, it\u2019s a way of eating that we\u2019ve evolved with in many ways. Naturally we\u2019d have periods of overfeeding, underfeeding, and basic maintenance. It would be a shift in calories\xa0and\xa0in food type. Our ratios of macronutrients (the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) would shift much more frequently than the cookie-cutter, same-old-same-old way we tend to eat today. To tap into a way of eating that encourages a shift in your metabolism, and a way that your genes actually expect you to eat, just click play and find out the benefits of The Sweet Potato Diet!
