Chasing Excellence [ 🍽️ ] The 2 Questions to Ask Before Changing Your Diet
We’re revisiting a past discussion that focused on the basics of simplifying nutrition.
We explore the two primary considerations for creating a nutrition plan: understanding personal goals and determining one's eating style.
