53. 1 Year Anniversary: My Take On The Ideal Diet For Fat Loss & Long Term Health

Author: Zane Griggs: Fitness Expert March 22, 2021 Duration: 1:23:19

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.

Hosted by fitness expert Zane Griggs, Hunger Hunt Feast | Strategic Fitness digs into a fundamental rhythm that shapes everything we do. It starts with a craving-for better health, a stronger body, or a more fulfilling life. That’s the Hunger. What follows is the strategic pursuit, the Hunt, where plans are made and work gets done. Finally, there’s the Feast, enjoying the tangible results and the satisfaction that comes from earning them. This isn’t just a metaphor for the gym; it’s a lens for viewing business, relationships, and personal growth. Each episode of this podcast unpacks practical, actionable ways to channel that innate drive. You’ll hear conversations that move beyond generic advice, focusing instead on the systems and mindsets that turn a need into focused action, and that action into a reward. It’s for anyone tired of abstract theories and ready to apply a timeless, powerful pattern to their fitness, nutrition, and broader life ambitions. Tune in to transform your hunger into a strategy, and your strategy into a feast.
