Think you should eat less often if you want to lose weight? Think again says Dan Benardot, our guest for this podcast.

Dr. Benardot has served as a nutritionist for a number of US Olympic teams, including Track and Field, Ice Skating and Gymnastics. In recognition of this work, he received the Outstanding Educator Award following the US gymnastic team’s 1996 Gold Medal.

In this podcast, we explore Dr. Dan’s perspective on the downsides of popular fasting-based diets and discuss what science tells us about how to eat to function at our best. In particular, we discuss his strategies for maintaining consistent blood sugar levels by eating multiple small meals a day and tailoring food intake to the ever-changing energy needs of our bodies.
