Episode Highlights:

(11:00) I was born knowing exactly what to do when food was scarce. And so here I was purposefully mimicking that for as many nights as I could stand it and expecting that my body would be willing to let go of what it needed to survive. That makes absolutely no sense!

(18:56) Oftentimes when people start to eat more and exercise less, they will start losing fat. However, you can't know exactly what's happening without body composition testing.

(20:44) Let's work with our brains; let's reassure our brains that there's no famine to worry about. Let's let our primitive brain know that it's okay to release unneeded fat. We do this by nourishing our bodies with plenty of protein. Remember that our ancestors were hunters and gatherers, so protein reassures the brain that it's safe to let go of fat.

Let's not let ourselves go to bed hungry. A well nourished body releases fat, and a starving body holds on to fat for dear life.
