Main Points From Today’s Episode
- Poor sleep is the biggest culprit behind hunger. Just one sleep-deprived night can knock your hunger hormones out of whack and make you more insulin resistant.
- The key to staying full is the “satiety trifecta.” That includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
- When incorporating fasting into your healthy eating routine, remember that hunger equals younger. That’s because fasting triggers a cellular detoxification process called autophagy, which is anti-aging and good for longevity.
