If you’re a regular listener, I’m willing to bet you can guess my #1 weight loss tip. And if you’re not (yet!), just doing this one thing will make a massive difference in your metabolic health including loss of extra body fat.
This brings me to a very important point: true, sustainable weight loss is a side effect of metabolic health. Think on this for a minute… we’ve all been taught to pick a scale number and count/burn calories until we hit that figure. Once we do, we eventually gain it back and increase our body fat percentage in this vicious cycle: restriction reduces muscle and almost all post diet weight gain is fat. Diet rhymes with riot, and this is what you do to your metabolic health when you go on one.
Tip two necessarily includes some “duh” advice, three might make your eyes roll back in your head, and tips four and five get a little hippie dippy. Tune in to see how surprised you might be and let me know what you think in the comments!
I also discuss supplements for kids which was requested by a listener. This will also have some surprises and sneaky moves on how to get your kids to eat liver, for example!
This last topic isn’t included in the pod itself, but it’s worth mentioning to this audience. For those who want a deep dive into the research on why natural dietary fat (i.e., the saturated fat we’ve been told to avoid) is excellent for your health and more broadly, what can be done to combat a lot of the US government tomfoolery surrounding nutrition, I recommend Unsettled Science by the great Nina Teicholz. Nina is both a tremendous investigative journalist and someone who helped me transform my life. I admire her greatly! And the fact that she endorsed The Nourishment Mindset is a dream come true for me.
In closing, three things:
1. I’m still hunting for Abe Lever and rmmld03, who wrote terrific reviews on Apple podcasts — I owe y’all a signed copy so pretty please get in touch with me.
2. If you haven’t yet purchased The Nourishment Mindset, please consider doing so on Amazon, where you can read a chapter with the FREE preview option. Or, if you’d like a signed copy, buy one directly on my site.
3. For those who have purchased my book, a gi-hugic MERCI! Please consider leaving a review on Amazon to help me raise our metabolic mission to achieve vitality through real, whole foods and pleasures of the table!
