In this episode I discuss why food quality DOES but DOESN’T matter for weight loss!

SUMMARY:

  • You can lose weight eating processed, crap food. If you’re just starting out, don’t stress over the quality of your food. Small changes add up!
  • BUT quality, less processed, food leads to better results faster!

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  1. It’s easier to overeat unhealthy processed foods, which makes the weight loss process harder.
  2. Our body functions better with quality fuel.
  3. The Thermic Effect of unprocessed foods is higher.
