Episode notes
Healthier Dark Chocolate Choice
- Choose dark chocolate with minimal ingredients like The Conscious Bar to satisfy sweet cravings without refined sugar.
- Eat measured portions (one or two 30-calorie squares) to enjoy antioxidants and avoid overeating.
When To Choose 100% Cacao
- Prefer 100% cacao for maximal polyphenols if you can tolerate bitter chocolate; use small amounts (e.g., Pasha chips) in coffee.
- If you want sweetness, pick bars sweetened only with whole dates to avoid refined sugars.
Minute Movements For Big Gains
- Break long sitting periods with 30–120 second movement breaks every 30–60 minutes to boost muscle protein synthesis.
- Simple options: 15 squats or 2 minutes walking; set a timer to make it consistent during the workday.
