What you'll learn from this episode:
The problem with food abundance and frequent eating, and why time-restricted eating is more aligned with the way our bodies evolved to deal with food scarcity.
Why you should slowly shrink your eating window, and why eating earlier in the day is better for your circadian rhythms and improves insulin sensitivity.
How much protein you should be consuming in a day, and why you should always break your fast with protein.
Why the calories in, calories out approach is too simplistic and doesn’t account for the role of hormonal imbalance in weight loss resistance.
The importance of maintaining balance and flexibility in your fasting plan.
And so much more!
