Episode notes
Elite Athletes and Basic Struggles
- John Berardi prepared an advanced lecture for elite athletes but found half arriving late with McDonald's bags. - This showed that elite athletes face the same nutrition struggles as everyday people.
Eat Slowly to Sense Fullness
- Slow down your eating to tune into appetite signals better. - Practice eating to 80% full, with occasional 100% or 120% meals to learn fullness cues.
Build Sustainable Habits
- Focus on sustainable habits rather than white knuckling through restrictive diets. - Build practices that fit your lifestyle for long-term success instead of short-term gains.
