Here we go with part two of compelling insights from Two Meals a Day.

In part one, we discussed how 1) fasting is king, 2) the importance of becoming fat-adapted to receive the full benefits of fasting, 3) why when you eat is just as important as what you eat, 4) why three meals a day is a dated notion and why you must eliminate The Big Three (toxic modern foods such as grains, industrial seed oils, and sugar) from your diet, and finally, 5) the importance of emphasizing ancestral foods.

In part two, you’ll learn about the origins of the three meals a day structure and why it’s no longer relevant or even recommended as a healthy eating pattern. You’ll also learn about why your brain and willpower are no match against hyper-palatable foods and how to trust your intuition and honor your natural hunger signal so you can eat intuitively and experience your meals with genuine enjoyment. I also talk about the creation of my Carnivore Scores food chart and why it’s optimal to choose the foods in the upper ranking system (aka above the steak line), and explain why there is absolutely no need to worry about getting in enough salads and kale when you’re consuming because animal products. Finally, you’ll learn how to incorporate (and enjoy!) indulgent moments in a way that doesn’t tempt you stray away from your healthy diet, as well as how to match your carb intake with your energy output.

TIMESTAMPS:

The idea of three meals a day is from the industrial age when our lifestyle was very different. [01:34]

The animal foods trump even the best plant foods in terms of nutrient density.  [06:39]

The variation in daily carb intake needs to be aligned with the energy output from exercise. [09:42]

Dopamine is released to get us to pursue behaviors that bring rewards. [12:38]

Don’t have nutrient deficient foods in your house. [16:28]

Mindset is of critical importance. Cut out the BS and give yourself a break. [26:35]
