Using the Sugar Diet for Weight Loss with Gwenyth Burmingham

Mitolife Radio with Gwenyth Burmingham 2025-09-12

Summary

There is always a new diet circulating and they always get a lot of engagement. What makes the sugar diet unique is that it challenges the mainstream idea that sugar consumption causes weight gain. What the mainstream doesn't tell you is that fatty acids and glucose compete for absorption, so consuming lower fats while consuming a lot of carbohydrates with adequate protein will actually increase the metabolic rate and turn you into a "fat burner" like the keto people talk about. Gwenyth Burmingham joins us to talk about how she is using this as a short-term tool to support her weight loss goals.

Key Moments

Glycine

I think you promote Lifeblood as well

you know what if i balance it out with some gelatin and it's like yeah you could do that but you still want the benefits of the glycine there you don't just want it to all be counteracting the other...

"you want to at least counteract what you're because you do what you used to you do still want to eat meat meat's going to be very good for you obviously liver organs muscle meat's still good for you gelatinous cuts of meat i do still eat meat every single day but yeah just offsetting that a little bit with some of the glycine and those types of things that are going to mediate those inflammatory effects but at the same time you just do still want to have some of that glycine reserved for yourself as well you don't want it all to be wasted doing that generally the"
Sauna

Those are the ones I think are most important, especially if you're running like a super high carbohydrate diet

It's B5 people. Yeah. It's a toxin. No, I love B6. I was going to say like for B vitamins, like if you're not able to get a complex for some reason, definitely focusing on one, two, three, and six...

"And that could be detox symptoms too. But I think just overall, like the huge stress on the system there, I was already dealing with estrogen. My liver was already so taxed. Adding to that with detox and then also adding to that with just the stress of like the heat shock, you know, you just want to be careful with that. But yeah, now I love it and I can sit in there for a much longer time. I love to sweat. I love my sauna for sure. I think it's definitely a very useful therapeutic for detox and a lot of things for fat loss too. I think just warming up the body is huge."
