What you'll learn from this episode:
The protein that yields the best results for fat loss is the one you incorporate into your diet consistently. However, selecting lean animal protein provides a highly digestible and satiating protein with less calories—just remember to mix it up as different proteins are high in different micronutrients.
Why Thomas has shifted his thinking and is no longer following a keto diet, and leaning into a lower-carb version of the mediterranean diet.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet, but we can take the best learnings from low-carb and low-fat, consider our performance goals, body composition goals, personal preferences, and determine what works best for us.
The importance of removing the moral value from food, and learning to understand what energy balance is and paying attention to how each food you eat makes your body feel—also remember there’s a difference between using exercise as punishment and using it for energy balance!
The healthiest nutrition bars, tips for protein on the go, and why carbs from tropical fruit shouldn’t be an issue for non-diabetics with a healthy body composition.
