Episode notes
Make Meal Times Predictable
- Create a consistent eating pattern by scheduling meals at roughly the same times each day.
- This trains hunger hormones and reduces decision fatigue, making dieting easier.
Don't Fast Through The Day
- Avoid long fasting or skipping meals to prevent extreme hunger later in the day.
- Use the four-hour rule: don't go longer than four waking hours without eating.
Log Food To Expose Habits
- Track your nutrition and keep a food diary to reveal habitual eating patterns and hidden calories.
- Use tracking to adjust protein, fiber, and calories instead of guessing progress barriers.
