Most people think sugar is the worst carb — but there’s one “healthy” carb that’s even more dangerous. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how whole-grain wheat bread, often labeled as “heart-healthy,” secretly shuts off your fat-burning hormones, causes insulin resistance, and keeps you inflamed — especially after 40. You’ll learn how this common food spikes your glucose just like candy, blocks your metabolism for hours, and fuels hormone imbalances like leptin resistance, thyroid slowdown, and estrogen dominance. Ben shares real data from his glucose monitor experiment and explains why removing wheat products for just 14 days can dramatically boost energy, improve sleep, and restart fat burning. You’ll also discover the best carb alternatives — sweet potatoes, cooled white rice, and root vegetables — plus how to download his free 7-Day Fat Loss Protocol to finally heal your metabolism and reclaim your energy. 👉 Download your free guide here:https://bit.ly/43yq2B5 📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today: http://www.metabolicfreedombook.com 🔎 Find all sponsorship deals and discount codes:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals⁠⁠
