#40: The 3 Things You ACTUALLY Need to Know About Nutrition

Navigating nutrition can be an absolute jungle. You can basically find information to claim almost anything as the "healthiest food" or "healthiest diet" and then find equal information claiming that same food or diet is the absolute worst thing for us.

Here's what I think: most of that is completely missing the point.

Getting into the nitty gritty of nutrition is an unwinnable game and one that rarely provides anything helpful. I came up with 3 very simple rules to follow to lead to healthy nutrition habits:

1. Eat minimally processed foods most of the time.
2. Eat a balanced diet.
3. Don't overeat.

Now these may seem simple, but without the basics, none of the rest of it really matters anyways.

I also realize that those 3 "rules" are not necessarily helpful or actionable, and therefore I recorded this podcast to go a bit deeper into what all of that means and how to implement it in your life.

Oh, there's also a bonus rule. If you can't remember those 3 above, then simply don't eat like an asshole, and it'll take care of quite a bit ;) But seriously, it works. And I explained what I mean by this as well.

I mentioned in the episode I'd be happy to look at anyone's food logs to provide some feedback. If you're interested in this, contact me on Instagram and I'll look it over and help you out!

I hope this episode helps clear up some of the confusion that is nutrition, and leaves you with some helpful tips to start eating healthier.

I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback. If you could share this with a friend, that would mean the world to me. If you enjoy this podcast, I would be extremely grateful if you subscribed and left a short review on iTunes. It really helps to spread the message and ultimately help more people.
