You’re Not Hungry If…

Dave Bio Hacking, Diets, Formula 7, Nutrition, Overall Health

When I was first introduced to the concept of Hara Hachi Bu, the Japanese concept of eating to about 80% full, I had several epiphanies:

I was surprised at how satisfied I felt after each meal, even though I stopped eating earlier than I usually would have.
I was surprised that I never felt hungry after eating. Sure enough, that 20 minute rule of feeling full always kicked in, and even though I only ate to 80% full I was 100% satisfied every time.

Chances are, the same thing will happen for you. And when you slow down, savor your food, and chew each bite thoroughly, there are several other benefits that kick in, like fewer digestive problems, natural weight loss, and a general feeling of better satisfaction with each meal. More

Pre Made Meals: Key to Better Health

Dave Diets, Formula 7, Nutrition, Overall Health

Many of the pitfalls that we can run into when we are trying to change the way we eat is to the time it takes to prepare fresh food compared to unhealthy prepackaged or pre made meals. There is a simple way to avoid this stressful time sapper by finding a certain day during the week that you can spare an hour or two to get things prepared beforehand so it is much easier to just grab some healthy food and go. You can skip the fast food and be proud to grab your own “fast and fresh food”.

There are certain foods that should be a staple in your fresh food prepping list. Of course, you shouldn’t try to prepare every meal you are going to eat that week ahead of time. Allow yourself a little bit of spontaneity in your food. Let’s take a step by step approach to this. More
