You've got no satiety signaling because you don't have much protein, don't have much fat.

So what's going to happen, of course, is that your insulin is going to tell you to store all those calories away.

You haven't activated any satiety signaling.

By 10.30, you're just ravenously hungry.

But you ate what you thought was a good eating pattern, which is low fat, high carb, right?

And it's all refined carbohydrates.

So then you're ravenous by 10 o'clock, 10.30.

So then, you know, you're looking for a snack.

And then so people, I think, thought, hey, look, I'm eating all the time now because I'm so hungry, right?

Because remember, hunger is what drives eating behavior.

But since I'm eating right, which is lots of muffins, right?

Low fat muffins.

This must be good.

Snacking must be good, right?

And I think that's where the whole thing sort of took off.

And that's where, you know, a lot of fasting and stuff.

And I always say there's really no such thing as a healthy snack because by definition, a snack is an indulgence.

It's superfluous.

You don't have to eat.

You want to eat, right?
