([Location 588](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=588)) - There are two primary fuel sources that your body uses: 1. Glucose (blood sugar derived from carbohydrates) 2. Fats ([Location 599](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=599)) - (It is crucial that protein be included in every meal but it is not a primary fuel for the body.) ([Location 602](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=602)) - If you focus on one primary fuel at a time, rather than squishing both together at every meal, you will burn through the fuel provided. ([Location 624](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=624)) - Your body does not burn both fats and carbs at the same time. When you eat a meal, you must always burn the carbs in that meal first. ([Location 632](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=632)) - Satisfying (S) and Energizing (E). ([Location 647](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=647)) - •  S stands for “Satisfying” and focuses on the fuel of luscious, delightful fats—yes, even butter and steak! ([Location 650](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=650)) - E stands for “Energizing” and focuses on the fuel of glucose through the safe amount of healthy carbs like gentle grains (unless you have sensitivity to them), fruits, beans, and sweet potatoes. ([Location 651](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=651)) - E meals always contain lean protein sources. ([Location 665](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=665)) - S meals can contain either lean or fatty protein sources (if an S meal contains a lean protein source like chicken breast, it will need to contain fat in some other form like butter, oils, or high-fat dairy). ([Location 665](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=665)) - Insulin is a hormone that can cause your body to go into fat-storing mode, while glucagon causes your body to go into fat-burning mode. ([Location 674](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=674)) - Fuel Pulls ensure that your meals are not constantly heavy in calories—and they ensure you eat your veggies. ([Location 708](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=708)) - all the non-starchy veggies you want, berries, and certain lean forms of meats and dairy ([Location 710](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=710)) - a non-starchy ([Location 862](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=862)) - starchy vegetable?” you ask. Basically any vegetable that is not a root vegetable (like a potato, sweet potato, or carrot) or a starch (such as corn). ([Location 862](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=862)) - we count only net carbs on Trim Healthy Mama, which is total carbs minus fiber. ([Location 867](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00U4VFYA6&location=867)) - Keep the starchy carb portion to a palm-size serving on your plate unless you are eating beans—and you can have more of those.
