Let me guess… You’ve probably heard that to lose weight, all you need to do is “eat less and move more”. So why does it feel like you’ve been doing exactly that - but nothing’s changing?

In this episode I debunk the common myth that eating less is better for weight loss. I also discuss why eating more in a strategic way might actually help you lose weight more easily and pave the way for long-term success. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

• (2:23) Why eating larger quantities of high volume, fiber-rich foods can increase feelings of fullness and satiety, and examples of those foods. 
• (6:40) How eating more can lead to a higher metabolism, and my thoughts on “The Biggest Loser”.
• (12:20) How getting a nutrient-rich diet can both directly and indirectly impact your ability to lose weight.
• (15:52) Why binge eating behavior might occur, and how you can overcome it.
• (19:45) The secret sauce to getting a leaner, stronger and more fit body.
• (22:45) Actionable steps to take right now if you’ve been eating too little.

I know it can be scary to eat more when you’ve been told that you should always eat less. But what if you tried something different? I hope this episode has gotten you thinking about eating more to see significant change in the way you look, feel and perform!
