Episode notes
Complete Nutritional Needs Matter
- A healthy diet meets all macronutrient and micronutrient needs without eliminating entire food groups unnecessarily.
- Restrictive diets often cause nutrient deficiencies because food groups contain unique essential nutrients.
Choose Whole Foods and Protein
- Prioritize whole foods over processed foods to better manage hunger and reduce overeating.
- Increase protein and fiber intake as they are the most satiating nutrients per calorie.
Big Breakfast, Small Dinner
- Eat a big breakfast and limit food intake late at night to improve hunger control and increase energy expenditure.
- Avoid large dinners to prevent impaired sleep quality caused by elevated core body temperature.
