The program starts March 15th. Getting on the waitlist has benefits - you'll be eligible for special deals and promos for the program that will ONLY be for my waitlist members._________________________________________Here are the questions that I answer on today's show:Why is it important to be a fat burner instead of sugar burner? Are some people naturally one or the other?What are signs that you can’t burn body fat for fuel? So how do you switch from sugar burning to fat burning - is it just through diet or are there other lifestyle things you can do? People think that they need to eat every few hours. but you recommend not to snack in order to shift into fat burning, can you explain why this is important? I know you recommend the keto diet when trying to switch over, so what would you say to someone who is vegetarian or resistant to going very high fat? What do you say to those who say “but I will never be able to reduce my sweets; every time I try removing them, I’m craving them even more”  What would you say to someone who would say “fats are high in calories?” Thank you to my "special guest" for cohosting today!!Thank you for listening to the show!You can find me on Instagram @daniellehamiltonhealth and on Facebook at Danielle Hamilton Health.My website is daniellehamiltonhealth.com.
