What you'll learn from this episode:
How our modern food environment keeps us fat and hungry—and how to fight back by eating more satiating, nourishing foods.
Why protein is king, a quick hack for determining the ratio of protein in a food, and why we should shoot for eating food with at least 40% of the calories coming from protein.
Satiety is important, but we also need to consider ‘the hedonic factor,’ we get from eating high fat, high salt foods.
If you aren’t diabetic and have a healthy body composition, you really don’t need to worry about glucose spikes from food or vigorous exercise—one caveat, it’s probably not a good idea to eat high glycemic carbohydrate foods by themselves.
How to give yourself more wiggle room to add fat or carbohydrates by centering your meal around lean protein.
