Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

1. The key to staying full for hours is the \u201csatiety trifecta\u201d of clean, lean protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Protein and fiber slow down stomach emptying to keep you fuller longer, while fat stimulates the release of chemicals in your brain to tell you that you're full.
2. Hunger equals younger! When you create some caloric restriction with optimal nutrition, it improves longevity.
3. The worst time to eat is at night! It\u2019s important to close the kitchen 3 to 4 hours before bed in order to optimize levels of growth hormone.
