Everyone knows the big-name drugs: Ozempic, Wegovy, and the rest. What most people never hear is that your body already has its own GLPâ1 system â and it responds to real food, real fiber, and real biology.
When you work with the system instead of overriding it, you get the fullness, the appetite control, and the steady energy⊠without the biological invoice that always comes with shortcuts.
Hereâs the natural path your body understands:
đ± 1. Resistant Starch â The Unsung Hero
Resistant starch feeds the gut, slows digestion, and naturally supports the hormones that regulate appetite. Some of the best sources include:
- Green banana flour
- Raw potato starch (1 tablespoon = ~8 grams of resistant starch, even though the FDA label may say â0â because of how itâs classified)
- Steel-cut oats soaked on the counter for 12â18 hours
- Potatoes that are baked or roasted, then cooled in the fridge for 12â24 hours
Cooling changes the structure of the starch, turning it into resistant starch your body canât break down â but your gut bacteria love.
đ§ 2. Butyrate â Fuel for the Gut
Organic grass-fed butter and ghee are rich in butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that:
- Feeds the cells lining your colon
- Strengthens the gut barrier
- Supports insulin sensitivity
- Helps regulate appetite hormones
- Reduces neuro-inflammation
- Supports mood and long-term cognitive health
Butyrate is one of the most important fuels for the gut â and a strong gut means better metabolic control.
âïž 3. The Fullness Effect
When you combine resistant starch with butyrate-rich foods, you support:
- Slower digestion
- Better blood sugar control
- More stable energy
- Fewer cravings
- Less grazing
- A stronger gut-brain connection
This isnât a hack. Itâs biology doing what biology does best.
đĄ The FitAt66 Philosophy
Our bodies are the closest thing to a perfect system humans have ever known. Every time we try to force biology to do something unnatural, thereâs always a trade-off â an invoice that shows up later.
Supporting the system is always cheaper, safer, and smarter than bypassing it.
Build your biology. Donât override it.
