Mindsip insights from this episode:
Start your day with a big breakfast to slash triglycerides
In a study where calories were identical, a big breakfast group saw a 33.6% decrease in triglycerides, while a big dinner group saw a 15% increase.
Avoid late eating to improve sleep quality
Eating less than an hour before bed makes men two and a half times more likely to be awake for more than 30 minutes during the night.
Brush teeth after dinner to curb late-night snacking
Brushing your teeth half an hour after dinner creates a clear psychological boundary that signals you are done eating for the day, preventing late-night snacking.
Debunk intermittent fasting myths: calories matter more
When calories are matched, time-restricted feeding shows no extra benefits for weight loss or blood sugar levels compared to diets where people can eat whenever they want.
Fast longer to achieve autophagy benefits similar to rodents
Because one rat day is equivalent to 27 human days, humans may need to fast for several days to achieve the same autophagy benefits rodents get from a few hours of fasting.
Eat morning meals to boost calorie burn
Research found that morning meals stimulate your body to burn more calories compared to the exact same meal eaten in the evening.
