Status Updates From The PE Diet: Leverage your ...

“Since the majority of us are suffering from chronic diseases of poor diet, learning to cook just might save your life.”

“When you are trying to profit from selling food, the less protein you give people the better.”

“Humans eat on average 4 pounds of food daily.”

“There are only two reasons anyone overeats: 1) you need to eat more: nutrient hunger, energy hunger. 2) you want to eat more: addiction

Hedonic hunger “Most of all, be hyper aware of what these foods are doing to you and how they are affecting your behavior. Some highly addicted people find it best to avoid these completely…”

“If you are properly fat-adapted, and you target protein and minerals first, you find you can get by with the very smallest amounts of non-protein energy (carbs and fats).”

“Once you can be sure that you have consumed adequate proteins and minerals, and your nutrient hunger is satisfied, then you will be in a much better position to properly interpret energy hunger.”

“Non-protein energy is everywhere…So we are getting fatter in our ill-fated attempts to supply our bodies with the things they really need.”

“If you have a specific dietary deficiency—protein or minerals— you will be hungrier and more driven to eat. What your poor body doesn’t know is that most of the food in your environment is food-like garbage.”

“…in fasting up to 72 hours, metabolism does not slow down at all and in fact might speed up slightly due to the release of catecholamines.

“…a meal immediately following your workout will be stored most efficiently—mostly as glycogen for muscle stores or burned as energy immediately to help with the recovery process with minimal amounts stored as fat

“The average hunter-gatherer eats a diet that is 33% protein by calories.”

“Ideally if you eat the right foods, your body should let you know how much.”

“Humans eat until they have reached an adequate quantity of protein and minerals

“When using carbohydrates for satiety, you really want to choose foods with very lowest energy density.”

“If the protein percentage of your diet is high, you will tend to automatically eat less energy

“Humans will eat and eat until they have eaten an adequate quantity of protein— even if they have to significantly overeat carb and fat non-protein energy in order to get there….humans tightly prioritize protein and the lower the protein percentage of their food, the More energy they will eat in order to get adequate protein.

“When you liver glycogen is completely empty, your sympathetic nervous system is more active.”

“So metabolic flexibility improves with leanness, HIIT (resistance and cardio), and fat-adaptation of periods of time without carbohydrates.”

“You can have almost as much fat-adaptation by limiting carbohydrate frequency as you will by limiting carbohydrate quantity.”

“Target protein and minerals and simultaneously try to be either low carb or low fat at all times.”

“Every diet that offers long-term success will somehow allow for increased satiety when eating intuitively. This always involves a higher nutrient density and always involves a higher protein to energy ratio

“Much of the obesity epidemic is purely economic.”
