all comes back to the quality.

And the more whole foods you're eating, the better it is for your body and your metabolism.

It sort of makes sense from an evolutionary point of view because it also takes more time to eat, gives your body time to react normally in the way we were evolved to do, and also fills you up as it's supposed to do.

Whereas everything about the industrial process is to speed it up

And if it can get you that food down, say, you finished your meal in 15 minutes or 10 minutes or whatever, then your hunger centers won't have kicked in in your brain as well.

So I certainly had a bit of a reality check and said, gosh, you know, this 20 pounds I put on in the last 20 years, maybe it's not all muscle, you know?

A lot of men just say, hey, I'm bulking up.

This is great.

I didn't look fat, but it has certainly been slowly accumulating.
