TECH INDUSTRY

EATING FAT

  • You can’t try and beat the system
  • If you are trying to become fat adapted, you really have to be careful
  • Also, you NEED to eat the high fat
    • Ex: don’t try to take the skin off of your chicken
  • Little fat bombs are good
  • Do not shy away from fat!
  • Try it for 45 days or so before reassessing
  • Try not to become too picky with things, or it can be unhealthy as well

CARB QUIZ

  • Anna took a ‘carb quiz’
  • Take a quiz to see how many carbs you should be seeing
  • The quiz says that they do not endorse low carb diets yet ask you what you are trying to do and give you info based off of that
  • Anna filled out the entire quiz, including age, weight, how much she wants to lose, how much she exercises
    • They did not give her a ‘carb plan’
      • Just tried to sell her BS carb cycle plans
