Are you overwhelmed by all the conflicting diet advice out there? In this episode of Extend, I simplify it all with a framework that works: the good, the bad, and the ugly of food. We’ll dive deep into how to structure your meals around nutrient-dense choices that nourish your body, help you maintain energy, and support long-term health.
I’ll walk you through the truth about carbs, proteins, and fats—what you should embrace, what you should avoid, and what’s downright harmful. You’ll learn why certain carbs can fuel your energy while others spike your blood sugar, why not all fats are created equal, and how to make smarter protein choices.
This isn’t about restrictions—it’s about eating smarter. Tune in to learn how to build a sustainable diet using the 80/20 rule and tips to enjoy your meals while avoiding harmful foods.
