ANECDOTE

Wade's Plant-Based Journey

  • Wade T. Lightheart hasn't eaten meat since 2021, but includes occasional eggs, ice cream, and cheese.
  • He adopted a plant-based diet primarily to address genetic predispositions and explore performance.
INSIGHT

Genetics and Weight Loss

  • Weight loss failures often stem from ignoring genetic predispositions and triggering starvation survival mechanisms.
  • GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic help override these mechanisms by managing hunger and metabolic slowdown.
ADVICE

Hunger Management

  • Prioritize protein and fiber intake to manage hunger.
  • Consider supplementing with protein, especially on a plant-based diet, and aim for high fiber intake.
