So whereas, for example, somebody in early adulthood might want to shoot for, let's say,

one to two pounds a week drop if they if they had a weight loss goal one two pounds a week that's aggressive that's uh that's a a pretty admirable rate of fat loss but in midlife oh man you really want to cut that in half if you set weight loss goals yeah so the yo-yo way that a lot of people diet and again i hate to pick on women but especially uh women tend to yo-yo diet um

Well, I think that people just sort of ruminate and worry about, is this the right kind of diet that's going to get me to my goals?

And what people don't realize is that once you get certain things down,

There's elements there that are highly flexible.

So once you nail down the optimal amount of protein that you can realistically consume, and once you nail down the total caloric intake,

then there is a lot of flexibility in terms of the proportion of carbohydrate and fat in your diet that can arrive at similar body composition results.

Now the variations and how you individualize this sort of thing really can depend on somebody's exercise performance goals.

Like if somebody has some very kind of competitive type of athletic goals,

then they're not necessarily going to do great with severe carbohydrate restriction.

Whereas if somebody does not have those competitive type of athletic performance goals, then it really is kind of a matter of preference, whether they like a high-fat, low-carb, whether they like a high-carb, low-fat type of model or somewhere in between, or if they just want to kind of vary that through the week.

It all works.

You just have to find out what you prefer and what you can be consistent with under the umbrella of a healthy food selection, just for long-term health purposes.

Wow, you threw me for a curveball there.

People usually ask the opposite.

What's the one thing you tell people to do?

Okay, so stop thinking that you need to wait in the morning before you start eating.

Stop that.

That's nonsense.

Stop it, stop it, stop it.
