As a nutritionist working in Dallas, Texas since 1975, Mark Herrin has helped countless people to make tremendous health improvements by following a diet that forces the body to burn fat as its energy source rather than sugar. By minimizing sugar intake and eating lean protein and high quality oils, his clients have increased their good cholesterol, lowered their blood pressure, lost weight, and increased their energy levels.

Mark has learned through research and experience to focus his efforts on the fact that the body has a specific preference for the type of fuel it uses to make energy. The body will never consume its fat supply while it is being constantly supplied with sugars and carbohydrates; two types of foods are over abundant in most peoples’ diets.[1]

Avoiding sugars and carbohydrates while consuming green vegetables, lean protein, and omega-3 oils will cause the body to transition to a fat burning metabolism. By scavenging lipids, oxidizing fatty acids, and activating mitochondrial enzymes, this metabolism can also confer benefits to energy production, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
