Grilling: the original human cooking method. 

Unfortunately we are finding out that grilling, especially grilling meats, can create harmful carcinogenic compounds in our food that we definitely want to avoid. 

Luckily, there is a solution that comes in the form of alcoholic marinades. 

A researcher from the University of Porto, Portugal has published studies showing that alcoholic marinades particularly those with dark beer and wine cut the formation of more than 70% of these carinogenic compounds in pan fried beef and in bar-b-q por.

Weight loss depends on eating less calories than you burn. 

So just eat less right? Turns out, it is not that simple. When we eat less calories for a long period of time we can send signals to the body that we are currently experiencing scarcity. 

In times of scarcity our body has very intelligent survival strategies which include preserving energy (aka holding on to body fat) and reducing reproductive capacity. 

Today on the podcast, I am going to talk about some of these processes and explain why low calories diets can fail people over the long term. 

I am also going to give some tips about what to do if you are already experiencing some of these effects that I describe.

Intermittent fasting, what our ancestors knew as "eating when we find food", has become a popular nutrition trend recently and for good reason. 

Intermittent fasting can help with fat loss, detoxification, gut health, blood sugar control, and much more. 

I often get asked questions by people about intermittent fasting, so I wanted to record this episode to hopefully answer a few more questions. I will probably have to cover this topic a few more times in the future.

If you want to get results 100% of the time matters. 

When people ask me about the 80/20 rule my first response is always, what you are you eating that makes up the 80% and what are you eating that counts as the 20%? The 80/20 method works if the 80% of your nutrition is high quality enough to account for and completely cancel out any negative progress towards your goals that was done during the other 20%.

If your 80% is chicken rice, protein bars, then your 20% is wings and fries, you are going to have a hard time reaching your goals.
