Episode 18: Glycolysis, Gains, and Getting Lean: The Real Fuel Behind Fat Loss
Ever wonder why you’re gasping after stairs but crushing your jog? Or why your fat loss stalls when you cut carbs too low? In this episode of FitBod Blueprint, Phil and Tyler geek out (in the best way) about glycolysis — the body’s metabolic switch that turns carbs into clean-burning energy.
You’ll learn:
- Why keeping carbs in your fat loss phase actually helps preserve muscle
- How your body shifts from using carbs to fat as fuel (and why it matters)
- Why your fitness tracker is lying to you about calories burned
- What nutrient timing really does for your workouts
- Why lifting weights matters more than you think when trying to lean out
We also toss in a hockey-themed “Would You Rather” you won’t forget.
Whether you're a coach, competitor, or just trying to understand your body better, this episode gives you the real talk behind fat loss and fueling performance.
