Exercise: not for weight loss

Exercise has been oversold as a weight loss tool, especially by food and drink companies that want you to believe a cookie is fine as long as you jog it off. But the science doesn’t agree. Your body adjusts your metabolism downward in response to over-exercising and under-eating. That’s why “just burn it off” doesn’t work.

So what does work?

Moving in ways that respect your biology, especially your daily and post-meal blood glucose rhythm.

In Limbo, we use your glucose line to help you time movement for maximum benefit. Because when you train at the right moment—especially after meals or while fasted—you can flatten your glucose line, unlock stored fat, and improve metabolic health.

Try exercise when fasted

When you first wake up, your body’s likely to be fueling itself completely from your stored body fat. What a great opportunity to use high-intensity exercise to keep burning fat.
