Episode 3199:

Dr. Monali Y. Desai breaks down why the widespread advice to eat many small meals a day may actually hinder weight loss rather than help it. With a focus on listening to your body and debunking diet industry myths, she offers a smarter, more sustainable approach to managing hunger and reaching your health goals.

Quotes to ponder:

"Somewhere along the way, ‘eat many small meals’ became gospel."

"You are not broken. You do not need to eat constantly to manage your blood sugar."

"We’re taught that hunger is a problem, not a message from our body we can learn to understand."
