There is so much misinformation out there, including information that is hard to understand for specific nuance! In this podcast episode, I share 5 things I WISH I would have known back when I was trying to lose weight in my 15 years of disordered eating and exercise. Though I could lecture for an hour on each topic, I'll keep my remarks concise and focused on the most critical take-aways. 1.  Meal Timing is nearly irrelevant to success.  What matters most is that calories, macros (protein, carbs, and fats) are consistent from day to day and in a SLIGHT deficit. This means for most people eating 300-400 calories fewer than your baseline intake is best. This helps you not be TOO hungry so you can sustain your efforts long enough to realize the weight loss. 2.  Reduced Fat and Low Fat foods are Terrible for Health. This myth has been eradicated in research. Full fat foods are essential for hair, skin, nails, and hormones. As I look at how I used to use these foods, the foods I liked became my staple foods
