In our Formula 7 course we have been focusing on eating to 80% full, or Hara Hachi Bu, as the Japanese call it.

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

Let’s talk a bit about the importance of where you get your food. There are really two main sources of food; farms and factories. Farms are maintained by human beings working hard to tend to the earth, growing real food like humans have since the beginning of time.

Farm fresh foods are full of flavor and many wonderful vitamins and minerals ready for your body to soak up and use for energy and healing. 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

5 Reasons You Should Eat More Veggies Than Fruit

Dave Formula 7, Nutrition

Fruits and vegetables are often lumped into the same nutritional camp. You’ll see them recommended together almost all the time. Even our Formula 7 principle of “get 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day” does this. However, there’s a catch here: they’re not exactly equal, and it’s important to know why.

While fruits and veggies are both wonderful for our diets, they do different things in the body. Veggies definitely take the cake when it comes to nutrition and health… and that’s why you want to eat them both but focus on more veggies than fruits.

Why You Should Eat the Same Few Meals, Again and Again

Dave Diets, Formula 7, Nutrition

In Formula 7, one of our basic principles is to include a good balance of carbs, proteins, and fats with each meal and snack. This helps you compile a healthy, satisfying meal without making it overly complicated.

It gets even better, though. There’s another little trick that can help you simplify your meals even more and set yourself up for crazy amounts of success. Are you ready for it? More

The “Zero Baseline” Health Evaluation Method

“Write is on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have you ever had a day when you eat really well all day, but then gorge on dessert… and that’s how you remember your day? You, the undisciplined food addict that can’t control themselves (fill in more negative self talk here.)

We all do it… we forget the healthy food we ate most of the day, and beat ourselves up over the small lapses. More
