I remember one of the first time I practiced fasting, What was shocking to me, I used to always, you know the term hangry? Yeah. Like, oh my God, it's lunchtime. It's one o'clock. I haven't eaten lunch. I'm irritable. I used to use that excuse. Yeah, I used to say the same thing. And I realized when I fasted, knowing I wasn't going to eat, that didn't happen to me.
And then I realized, oh, it's not because I didn't have food. It was because I anticipated eating and I didn't and I had to wait an hour. So I wasn't irritable because my blood sugar is low or because I need to have food in my body. I was irritable because I had this anticipation that it didn't happen. It had nothing to do with the fact that I was supposed to eat.

Yeah. And then lastly, overall health. Now, when you look at overall health, this is based off our experience and some data. I think a paleo diet is just generally very healthy. Uh, it's fruits, vegetables, some nuts and seeds, uh, and, and animal meats. And that's it. They don't even include dairy, but I think dairy will be okay if you can, if you can have dairy.

You know, I want to bring up a really, really common mistake that people make with fitness and diet. And it's so common that I think even some people are going to be like, huh? I didn't know you're not supposed to do that. A lot of coaches will coach people to do this as well. This is a very common mistake.
