Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

1. When you\u2019re snacking throughout the day, you train your body to expect food all the time. That means your body doesn\u2019t have a reason to access stored fat for fuel.
2. The key to staying full between meals is to include clean, lean protein, healthy fats, and fiber at every meal. JJ likes to call this trio of nutrients the \u201csatiety trifecta.\u201d
3. Often when we think we\u2019re hungry, we\u2019re actually thirsty. Studies have shown that drinking a glass of water cuts hunger 100% of the time.
