And I know so many women that are having to sort of undo this advice we've been given for so many years, which is like restrict your food and do a massive amount of cardio, right? Like that was sort of the, this is what you do as a woman to sort of stay lean and look good as massive amounts of cardio, restrict, restrict, restrict, right?

And I posted a video on my Instagram recently where I ate, you know, videoed everything I ate throughout an entire day, which was 800 grams of fruits and vegetables. And in my case, about 140 grams of protein. And the amount of women who texted me, called me and said, my God, that is so much food.

You know, and I think they were so shocked because we've been, especially as women, been in this massive restriction mode. That it was like the first time they actually could visualize a whole day of food that included a ton of food. I did a lot of eating throughout the day and a lot of eating of diverse and different things. And, you know, it wasn't all perfect.

And, you know, but it was a ton of food at the end of the day. And still was like 2,000 total calories. So it wasn't like a 4,000 calorie day. It was 2,000 total calories with this really reasonable amount of food. But I think it was really interesting for me to get this feedback from women who were like, whoa. oh my God, I've never eaten that much food in my entire life.

I'm hoping this helps undo some of that trauma that women have around the only way to be healthy is to restrict and destroy yourself with cardio.

And the almond mom is like back to the idea that like a serving of almonds is three almonds, right? Which is like no normal person could ever just eat three almonds, right? Right. It's like 10, at least you eat 10.

I mean, my take would be I don't really care about timing. I think sometimes we've, again, lost the forest through the trees and trying to overly optimize. I think people have sort of different desires to eat, when they want to eat. We say the same thing with mobilizing, for example. We prefer to do our mobility work at night in front of the TV, our soft tissue work.
