Main Takeaways:
All Calories are not equal, the quality of your food matters.
In the beginning, first focus on WHAT you are eating versus the how much at this time. Focus on eating REAL WHOLE FOODS. IF you are trying to also battle hunger by trying to also cut calories, it usually ends up in a binge and then feelings of failure. Let yourself eat as much of you want of the right foods first. Then once you get that down and get your satiation signals working, it will be so much easier to regulate your appetite.
Helpful Rules of Thumb:
Control Your Carbs- EAT REAL FOOD CARBS like veggies, sweet potatoes, whole fruit. Avoid: processed or refined carbs like bread, cereal, chips etc.
Prioritize Protein - Add in ideally animal based protein sources at each meal. Other protein sources like eggs, nuts, seeds. Animal based protein is very bioavailable and nutrient dense especially grass-fed beef and ruminant animals and organ meats.
Don't Fear Fat- Focus on healthy fats- grass-fed animal meats, wild caught fatty fish, avocado, olives, coconut
