How the Body Uses Fuel By Dr. Benjamin Bikman Ph.D.

The food we eat provides energy for us to go about our daily activities and is made up of three primary macronutrients: Protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Our bodies are designed to use both carbohydrate and fat for energy. The ability to switch between these macronutrients is called: metabolic flexibility.

Dr. Bikman addresses the effects of carbohydrate intake and insulin resistance in the body and how the things we eat affect metabolism.
