Welcome back to Hunger Hunt Feast! Looking back over a year of this podcast feeling grateful. To celebrate the year anniversary of the show, I am going to share my take on the ideal diet for fat loss & long-term health.
QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:
The ideal diet for fat loss:
Limit starchy carbohydrate and sugar consumption to increase dependence on burning fat.
Avoid eating foods that are high in fat and carbs like donuts, ice cream, pizza, fast food, processed food
Limit starch intake to 30-40g at dinner
Carbohydrates are not necessary to regulate blood sugar
Prioritize protein to improve body composition
Whole animal food is the most bioavailable source of nutrients
Protein goal: 1g/lb of ideal body weight, primarily from whole food
Our liver regulates blood sugar efficiently, converts protein to glucose as needed, and produces ketones.
Dietary fat will replace body fat you want to burn.
Fat in the protein foods and in cooking fats is enough- you don't need to eat more
Eat what you are:
We are made of protein, fat and minerals
Fasting/time-restricted eating to improve fat-burning metabolism
Transition to 1-2 meals a day, no snacks
Sleep affects metabolic hormones
After diet and sleep are in place, add exercise
Micronutrient upgrade
Superfoods: Ruminant liver, egg yolks, oysters can supply the majority of vitamins and minerals
Sardines and salmon for additional DHA & EPA
Non-starchy green vegetables for added magnesium and potassium.
