00:00:00
Welcome to the Full Fueled podcast.

00:00:02
Welcome to the Full Fueled podcast.

00:00:04
Welcome to the podcast.

00:00:06
With your host, Matt Tack.

00:00:07
With your host, Matt Tack.

00:00:08
Your host, Matt Tack.

00:00:09
Who are you?

00:00:10
I'm doctor Alfred Alessi.

00:00:11
Doctor Alfred Alessi.

00:00:12
Doctor Alfred Alessi.

00:00:13
They know by now.

00:00:14
They know by now.

00:00:14
I'm gonna set what the new normal looks like in my life.

00:00:17
You're not limited by your genetics.

00:00:19
You have our superpower that is left to be brought up.

00:00:22
I do.

00:00:23
You will be up.

00:00:23
Only way we're gonna get the word out is with you.

00:00:26
Live full fuel.

00:00:27
Live the own limits, baby.

00:00:29
Let's go.

00:00:30
This beautiful day on October 24, 2024, we have the live full fueled podcast with your host,

00:00:38
Matt Teck and doctor Alfred Alessi.

00:00:42
What's up, dude?

00:00:43
How are you doing today?

00:00:44
I'm doing phenomenal.

00:00:45
You're looking good.

00:00:46
You're looking good.

00:00:47
Thank you.

00:00:48
I appreciate you.

00:00:49
We're gonna talk about some diets today.

00:00:51
You know, I think I'm not, like, super keen on the word, like, diet because I think always

00:00:56
people think of it's, like, short term.

00:00:59
But, like, a diet should be something you can commit to long term.

00:01:03
And then you can make, you know, corrections and adjustments to, like, as necessary.

00:01:08
Maybe you might be in a seasonality of something.

00:01:11
But I think there's always, like, kind of the underlying fundamentals that you need to

00:01:15
maintain consistency with.

00:01:16
But, we're gonna talk through a few, and then we're gonna give you a surprise.

00:01:20
So, listen in and get our insight.

00:01:23
So take it away, doc.

00:01:25
Yeah, man.

00:01:26
I'm I'm with you on that that, like, diet is a stupid word.

00:01:29
Let's just get rid of it.

00:01:30
Let's not use that anymore.

00:01:32
How do we, like, fuel?

00:01:34
Right?

00:01:35
That's why we came up with the term full fueled, but, like, part of our pillars is fuel.

00:01:38
Right?

00:01:39
Like, how am I fueling my body?

00:01:41
And then that, like, creates in your head the idea of, like, I'm what I'm putting into my

00:01:46
mouth is actually gonna be used.

00:01:48
Right?

00:01:48
Like, or I'm utilizing this.

00:01:49
There's a purpose behind it.

00:01:51
Right?

00:01:51
I'm not just, like, shoveling stuff in my face, which is what 90% of people are doing on a

00:01:55
daily basis is just, like, mindless eating or, like, snacking.

00:01:59
Right?

00:01:59
Foraging.

00:01:59
Like, just putting things in your mouth because you feel hungry.

00:02:02
Right?

00:02:02
You're responding to a signal, and then you're just, like, giving into that.

00:02:06
It's like, no, man.

00:02:07
This is, like, stuff that I use to build my body up, stuff that I use for energy to then go

00:02:12
do, you know, some type of activity or to get through my day.

00:02:16
Right?

00:02:16
But it is it's fuel, man.

00:02:18
So I think, you know, kind of for purposes of this episode, let's talk about, like, kinda

00:02:23
like the best fuel or, like, what is the best way to fuel your body on a daily basis.

00:02:28
And, you know, there's different fueling or diets for different things.

00:02:34
Like, in my practice with functional nutrition and the functional medicine, a lot of what I do

00:02:38
is is, you know, helping people with, like, autoimmune conditions or gut dysfunction, leaky

00:02:43
gut, this kind of stuff.

00:02:45
So the approach there is often elimination, which elimination means eliminating, like,

00:02:50
offenders, which would be, know, if we ran some kind of a food sensitivity screen, you know

00:02:55
what foods are triggering their their issues or, you know, gut kind of like irritability.

00:03:01
So a lot of times it's those processed foods, processed sugars, refined grains.

00:03:06
It could be like conventional dairy.

00:03:08
You know, it's such a hyper processed product.

00:03:11
It's pasteurized and it's really broken down.

00:03:12
It's not what it is supposed to be.

00:03:15
So really getting away from those kind of things and eating more of like a paleo ish

00:03:20
right, type of diet.

00:03:23
And so I really like carnivore and paleo approaches to that because you're eliminating

00:03:28
just processed foods.

00:03:29
And then when you're eating more meat, you're getting that lean, high quality amino acid

00:03:33
structure, tons of minerals and nutrients that are in those things, you know, typically more

00:03:38
like red meats.

00:03:40
And even like getting into more of like the the gamey type of stuff, like venison and bison is

00:03:45
just such a high nutrient dense protein source that, in my opinion, that is longevity right

00:03:54
there.

00:03:54
So, you know, that's kind of what we we structure in the office as far as like when

00:03:59
we're helping people with actual like issues or conditions.

00:04:02
But for longevity and just like somebody who's trying to optimize their health.

00:04:06
You and I both focus on high protein, lean, you know, lean diet with not a lot of processed

00:04:13
foods.

00:04:13
And that's kind of the structure behind what we call the full fuel diet.

00:04:17
So you you are the one who basically created it.

00:04:21
I was obviously part of that and kind of helped, you know, with that.

00:04:24
But you're the one who's taking guys through our optimizers program and and really dialing

00:04:29
in that full fuel diet.

00:04:30
So should we just I mean, should we just go through that?

00:04:33
Kind of talk about what it is, maybe a little little free free give here, even though it's

00:04:37
part of our program that we charge a high dollar for?

00:04:42
Yeah.

00:04:43
Yeah.

00:04:43
We but, I mean, it's a giveaway.

00:04:45
Right?

00:04:45
We wanna make sure that

00:04:46
It's a giveaway.

00:04:47
Everyone is getting value.

00:04:50
And if they can do it themselves, they can do it themselves.

00:04:52
But a lot of people like the accountability and community in terms of what that driver looks

00:04:55
like.

00:04:55
So that's what we're here for, within the optimizers is to make sure you have not only

00:05:00
that, but your programming structured.

00:05:03
So because that that's where that's what feeds.

00:05:05
Right?

00:05:05
What you're putting into your mouth is actually feeding how efficient, your your muscle, is

00:05:11
going to take away from the programming and the efforts that you put into, you know, working

00:05:16
out and then cognitively how you're operating throughout the day.

00:05:20
But, we just the full fueled, diet essentially plan or fuel plan, as we call it, is pretty

00:05:29
much programmed 2 to 3 meals a day.

00:05:32
So and I and how it every I'm sorry.

00:05:35
2 to 3 meals, where you're programming programming those as high dense meals

00:05:40
throughout the day.

00:05:41
Now, the reason why we say 2 to 3 meals, is because of the fact that you can, you can have

00:05:50
a time restricted portion, right, where you can fit it in, during a certain amount of hours

00:05:55
like doctor Alessi does.

00:05:57
And so, like, between the hours of basically, like, maybe 10, to 7 PM or 8 PM, that's when

00:06:03
he's dialing in more of his eating portion.

00:06:05
Some peep 12 PM to 8 PM and just fitting a shit fitting fitting in with an 8 hour.

00:06:11
I do mine 7 to 7, so I restrict my eating.

00:06:13
I stop at 7, pick up at 7 AM, the next day.

00:06:19
Now what do I eat?

00:06:20
So, it's made up of high protein early, early in the morning.

00:06:24
You want super, super high protein.

00:06:26
Right?

00:06:27
It is a misnomer, and I'll let doctor Alessi talk into this even a little bit more in terms

00:06:31
of how Kellogg's has obstructed and nearly obese, majority of our population by conning us

00:06:39
into thinking that cereal is the first thing that you should eat or a breakfast bar is the

00:06:44
first thing you should eat.

00:06:45
You should be maximizing your body with as much protein as physically possible in the morning.

00:06:52
And so how we do that is, I like the idea of the full field being mush.

00:06:58
So you want to eat things that are relatively easy to break down.

00:07:03
Right?

00:07:04
You don't wanna overcompensate, like, something that where it's a heavy and dense meal, really

00:07:09
early in the day where you're eating, like, maybe a full chicken breast and all these

00:07:13
things.

00:07:14
I like going high protein, and that's through what we call our egg yolk method.

00:07:20
And so tough.

00:07:22
That is that is that is that is, getting, eggs in you.

00:07:28
Right?

00:07:28
You can eat them in different ways, but we choose, to put those in actually in a protein

00:07:33
shake raw.

00:07:35
So we get organic eggs, and we put those in either to a 50 or 75 gram shake.

00:07:42
We do, typically, we do operate off of the ISO 100 dimatized, the hydrolyzed protein, and this

00:07:49
is the reason why I like the way of hydrolyzed.

00:07:52
You don't necessarily need to go with dimatized ISO 100, but hydrolyzed is very efficient in

00:07:57
breaking down protein.

00:08:00
So, the hydrolyzed, it's I think, and I'm not gonna say this for sure, but I believe it to be

00:08:06
more bioavailable.

00:08:07
I've been using it for the past 10 months, with a high level of success.

00:08:12
And so I like the bioavailability of hydrolyzed protein.

00:08:15
I think it the body and the gut can efficiently break that down.

00:08:20
So I like that aspect.

00:08:22
The other thing

00:08:22
is Let me speak on that real quick is Yeah.

00:08:25
When when you take away protein shake or you take any kind of protein supplement and you

00:08:29
have gastric distress or you're like, man, I'm gassy.

00:08:31
I'm farting.

00:08:32
I'm burping.

00:08:33
It feels kinda like I feel full.

00:08:35
That means something's going on in the gut where maybe it's not being used optimally.

00:08:39
Right?

00:08:39
I have never once felt that with the protein that we use, the hydrolyzed, Never once.

00:08:44
And so that means your body's efficiently processing and whether it's absorbing maybe 70%

00:08:50
of that and the rest is getting, you you know, not utilized regardless.

00:08:54
It's not causing any kind of distress in the gut.

00:08:56
It's it's a good protein for sure.

00:08:58
Keep going.

00:09:00
Yeah.

00:09:00
So, protein, I think that's an efficient way to get protein.

00:09:04
Another way, and this is where we believe in mush early, is getting, like a Greek yogurt

00:09:11
with high levels of protein.

00:09:12
Now this is the cadence at which you need to operate on how you measure protein versus

00:09:17
carbohydrate balance, especially in the mornings.

00:09:20
So when you're looking at something, specifically with protein, if it's times 3

00:09:25
towards the carbohydrate.

00:09:26
So if you let's say you have 7, or 6 or 7, carbohydrates, and you get roughly around 2 and

00:09:34
a half to 3 multiple in protein versus what you're taking in in carbohydrates in the

00:09:39
morning, I think that's an efficient use, of what you're eating.

00:09:43
And so I like to go with a yogurt in the morning.

00:09:47
The Oikos Pro is a great yogurt.

00:09:50
They're making some really quality, high protein yogurts today that I think are

00:09:55
extremely efficient.

00:09:57
And so when you can do that and then incorporate maybe some level of whole foods

00:10:01
being like berries or nuts that you can incorporate into that, you're just getting a

00:10:06
good source of fat from an almond or a cashew, or even a pistachio.

00:10:11
I'm big believer in getting if you like those nuts.

00:10:14
And then, and then putting berries.

00:10:16
Berries are a high source of fibers.

00:10:18
So you we wanna be aiming towards 40 to 60 grams of fiber of daily intake.

00:10:25
Right?

00:10:25
And you can do that through a process supplementation, but always to better to get it

00:10:29
through Whole Food Source.

00:10:30
So that's gonna be through, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.

00:10:35
Those are some great fiber sources.

00:10:37
Mainly strawberries are super high in fibrous activity.

00:10:41
So getting those early, along with your protein shake and then 2 to 3 raw eggs in that protein

00:10:46
shake.

00:10:47
So, you've seen me posted a little bit about it.

00:10:49
Some people think it's gross, but, you can also fry those up.

00:10:53
You can, with maybe a little bit of avocado oil, scramble those and eat them, a little bit

00:10:58
more, where it's, more palatable to you, but we highly recommend eggs are a great source.

00:11:05
A misnomer that I wanna, doctor Alessi to talk a little bit about too, is a lot of people talk

00:11:12
about this like, well, I don't wanna eat too many eggs because I already have high

00:11:15
cholesterol.

00:11:16
Right?

00:11:17
And, there's a difference between, like, healthy cholesterol.

00:11:21
Yes.

00:11:21
There's, there's the silent death killer.

00:11:24
But if you really know what lipid proteins do to your body, and you can utilize them as

00:11:29
tools, they can be hyperefficient.

00:11:31
And so you wanna make sure that you have a good understanding.

00:11:35
I would, there's a great, YouTube video on with Peter Attia that talks at length about this.

00:11:40
But you wanna tap into that a little bit?

00:11:43
Yeah.

00:11:44
I'm gonna start by saying dietary cholesterol does not raise cholesterol.

00:11:50
Right?

00:11:50
Dietary cholesterol is different.

00:11:52
It comes in exogenously.

00:11:53
Your body's processing it and using that.

00:11:55
What is it using it for?

00:11:56
It's using it to produce hormones.

00:11:58
It's using it to, build your body up.

00:12:02
Right?

00:12:02
The the phospholipid bilayers of every cell in the body requires cholesterols.

00:12:07
When you are not eating enough cholesterol, that's when your body produces more.

00:12:12
And so then people who are, you know, not eating enough dietary cholesterol from things

00:12:17
like eggs, red meat, these kind of sources, fish, they are their body then responds by

00:12:22
having to produce more internally.

00:12:25
Right?

00:12:25
And so that's when people have high cholesterol.

00:12:27
That goes back to what you were talking about at the very beginning with Kellogg's and the

00:12:32
basically trap that they've trapped everyone in that, like, breakfast is the most important

00:12:36
meal of the day.

00:12:37
Eat your cereal.

00:12:38
Yeah.

00:12:38
Let me just spike my blood sugar really quick with this highly processed grain sugar bomb

00:12:43
cereal in some pasteurized highly processed milk, and let me call it a morning.

00:12:48
No wonder everyone feels like crap and is fat.

00:12:50
Right?

00:12:51
And so what what you should be doing in the morning is, like, you're talking about high

00:12:55
protein, some good cholesterol from eggs.

00:12:58
Right?

00:12:58
That's the with vitamin d and all the good stuff that's supposed to be utilized by your

00:13:02
body and watch your cholesterol levels go down.

00:13:05
Right?

00:13:05
Get off the the statin drugs and get on the eggs.

00:13:10
Huge.

00:13:11
So that's it right there.

00:13:12
There you have it.

00:13:12
Reason why.

00:13:15
So then, then, what we do so that that's more of an early morning shift.

00:13:20
So whether you're kind of be cadenced a little bit later in the morning or earlier in the

00:13:24
morning like me, you know, I tend to get a sway towards the 7 AM route.

00:13:29
7:30 is typically when I'm dialing that in.

00:13:32
I pretty much stop eating at 8 AM.

00:13:35
So I get everything in by 8 AM.

00:13:38
Then, you're gonna go into kind of a lunch pattern, which this is should be your lightest

00:13:44
meal of the day if you really, really wanna stay optimized.

00:13:47
It shouldn't be a dense meal.

00:13:48
So you want, higher protein.

00:13:51
So you want the allocation to be higher protein.

00:13:54
But this is where you can get whole food sources, and it depends on kind of where your

00:13:58
activity lies.

00:13:59
So if you're gonna be working out, like, you know, in the morning, I would suggest the

00:14:03
workout to before, before your and then you get you get a you get a quality meal and after, not

00:14:10
the meal before and then the meal after.

00:14:13
So you're you definitely want to be a little bit more dense but lighter in nature.

00:14:17
What we typically go with here is more of a salad based approach.

00:14:21
So you're getting your greens in play.

00:14:23
You're getting maybe some spinach as well.

00:14:26
Spinach is actually high in protein.

00:14:28
You also want to get your complex carbohydrate source from berries again.

00:14:33
This is the activity of getting whole food sources through fruits and getting the the

00:14:38
fibers you need.

00:14:39
So we are extremely deficient as American society in fibers, and that actually really

00:14:45
that's a gut test.

00:14:45
Right?

00:14:46
So if you look at your poop, you'll I'll tell you if it's if it's a mud pie a fiber.

00:14:53
So you wanna make sure you're taking a look at that.

00:14:56
But, the one major thing here is putting berries in play.

00:15:00
So, I like I always stray towards strawberries.

00:15:03
Blueberries, those really big gigantic blueberries that doctor Lesse buys are

00:15:07
fantastic too.

00:15:08
I started buying those.

00:15:10
Those are those are quality.

00:15:12
Raspberries are a good source.

00:15:14
If you do wanna throw nuts in there again, that's completely fine.

00:15:17
Something easily digestible, as well as a protein.

00:15:20
So I tend to stray towards chicken cutlets, and I like putting high protein.

00:15:26
The aim in every single meal is getting a minimum of 50 grams of protein.

00:15:30
Now if you are a woman, how you measure this, right, is your ideal body weight.

00:15:35
So what's your ideal target body weight?

00:15:37
And so then you would measure it based off of a third of a balance associated to that.

00:15:41
So if you're a woman that's trying to get to, let's say, a £110, you wanna make sure you

00:15:47
divide that by 3, and then you have the allocation of protein per meal.

00:15:52
Right?

00:15:52
You might get a little bit more in the mornings, and then you can dial that back a

00:15:56
little bit to hit your 110 pound target.

00:15:59
Now for me, I'm getting an overabundance, because my my strategy is a little bit

00:16:04
different.

00:16:04
But you always wanna go towards your target body weight and protein, and then you divide

00:16:10
that by the number of meals that you're gonna be having in that day.

00:16:13
And so we're like I said, we're recommending if you're time restricted eating and you're

00:16:17
getting 2 meals in, those are gonna be way heavier protein balance.

00:16:21
If you're getting 3 meals in, you can divide that by 3.

00:16:24
But then as always, you're getting your proper, fiber intake, through whole food sources.

00:16:30
So that's gonna be your lighter portion of meal.

00:16:33
Again, it's gonna be green, something that you can easily break down.

00:16:36
What I always, tend to stray towards, and I've been doing this a lot lately, is, I I'm not

00:16:42
gonna lie to you.

00:16:43
I have a sugar urge, and we don't program that into the full field diet.

00:16:47
And so what I do, to get additional protein in is have a yogurt after every meal.

00:16:53
So I again have another yogurt, that kind of urges my balance and, me wanting, something of

00:17:01
sweeter in nature, but it kinda cuts that edge out and then gives me a satiated appetite or

00:17:06
satiates my appetite, with, with the yogurt.

00:17:09
So that's how I get actually usually being in another yogurt, and that more serves as dessert

00:17:17
of my lunch.

00:17:19
And then for the full fueled, home run meal, I typically go a little bit heavier in the

00:17:26
evenings.

00:17:27
And so what we've, incorporated there is where you're targeting maybe some, some red meat.

00:17:34
So you can have red meat or chicken.

00:17:36
I have a lot of chicken, but this is where I'm gonna incorporate red meats.

00:17:39
I typically don't have red meats in my first two meals, but my 3rd meal, I will.

00:17:44
And so that can incorporate a range of various topics, but how you wanna portion control it is

00:17:49
that it's gonna be heavier on the protein side again.

00:17:52
Right?

00:17:52
And so you wanna make sure that 30 to 40% of that meal is going to be associated to protein.

00:17:59
And so that could be red meat.

00:18:01
But understanding that, like, a 6 ounce chicken breast is roughly anywhere from, like, you at,

00:18:07
like, high end 30 to really, I'm sorry, low end 30 to 35 grams of protein.

00:18:13
So as you go up, if you look at a 6 ounce chicken breast, you wanna make sure you're

00:18:18
evaluating.

00:18:18
Do I need, you know, 1 and a half chicken breast, to get to more of a 50 marker, or do I

00:18:24
need to dial that down?

00:18:25
So that's how you're gonna look at that.

00:18:28
The one other thing that we like incorporating in is just easy ease of use, right, in the in

00:18:34
this approach, but something that is easily broken down.

00:18:37
So we stray towards white rice.

00:18:40
White rice is something that the body is able to manage very easily and be broken down, but

00:18:45
it's a very efficient carbohydrate source.

00:18:48
I would say, that this is even better utilized than even a brown rice.

00:18:54
So you wanna say something?

00:18:56
Real quick.

00:18:57
The here's a a little tip for doing the white rice is cook it the day before, and then let it

00:19:02
cool in the fridge and then reheat it.

00:19:04
And the carbohydrate complex of the rice becomes less of a of a blood sugar spike.

00:19:09
So it becomes more of a resistant starch than like a than like a carbohydrate.

00:19:15
And so it's able to mitigate that blood sugar response.

00:19:18
And you're going to be able to use, you know, not not have to worry about that as much.

00:19:23
So that's just a little tip.

00:19:25
That's huge.

00:19:27
So and then, again, it's incorporating something in beyond that that is green in

00:19:33
nature.

00:19:34
I love brussels sprouts, and so we recommend getting bell peppers, brussels sprouts,

00:19:39
something green in nature, that you can put as an additional carbohydrate source on your

00:19:44
plate, but that's also portioned correctly.

00:19:46
Right?

00:19:47
So you need to you need to make sure you're managing one thing we do in the optimizers

00:19:50
program.

00:19:51
One of the first things we do is teach people how to count macros.

00:19:54
Right?

00:19:54
We set your BMR, which usually your basal metabolic rate.

00:19:57
It's gonna be what your daily, intake needs to be from a maintenance perspective, in

00:20:02
association to how you're targeting your protein, your carbohydrates, and your fats, and

00:20:07
then, portioning your meal size to that.

00:20:11
And so this is where that would come into play where you have anywhere from 40 40 to 50% of

00:20:17
your, dinner plate, being that protein.

00:20:20
And then you're gonna have, like, the other third, or half being your carbohydrate source,

00:20:26
both green in nature and then, and then a, like, a rice based.

00:20:32
So you can, spill over, some, maybe like an avocado oil.

00:20:38
I always like going shout out to Alessi.

00:20:40
They have a great, Vigo and Alessi has a great balsamic, that you can pretty much put on

00:20:46
everything.

00:20:47
So they have hands down, I I love balsamic.

00:20:52
So you can put you marinated chicken.

00:20:53
You can do a bunch of different things, but it's a it's a low, caloric dressing, that you

00:20:58
can put on things, a balsamic vinegar that tastes really good.

00:21:01
It gives a little bit of tang.

00:21:03
I even put it in rice.

00:21:04
I put it on, you know, fruits and vegetables.

00:21:07
So I think it's really good.

00:21:09
And then again, on the backside of that is, like, when you have that sugar urge, always

00:21:15
always defer towards protein.

00:21:17
So I probably have about 2 to 3 yogurts a day, with a high protein balance.

00:21:24
And, again, I wanna go towards the protein because that's the best source.

00:21:27
And how the body operates is that it's gonna be utilizing those amino acids.

00:21:32
It's going to be, utilizing them.

00:21:34
And if it if it doesn't, use all of them, hey.

00:21:37
You're gonna poop it out.

00:21:38
Right?

00:21:39
And so you're not gonna be hanging on to them like you would your carbohydrates.

00:21:42
You're gonna be utilizing those more as energy activity.

00:21:45
So in a nutshell, that's what, that's what the that's what the full fuel diet looks like.

00:21:51
The full fuel fuel program looks like.

00:21:54
You would, in between those time frames, add in another shake, between 5075 grams if you're if

00:22:02
you're gonna be loading and you're trying to get to that 200 marker.

00:22:05
It's rather hard through 2 to 3 meals to get in 200 grams of protein.

00:22:11
So if you're a bigger guy that has a goal weight of 200, maybe you're £250, and you're

00:22:16
trying to get down to 200, 230, trying to get down to 200, it's rather hard, and that's why

00:22:21
we recommend additional protein shakes as a supplementary source to add into that.

00:22:26
And then you'll you'll see the you see the weight come off and the strength gain come

00:22:30
about.

00:22:30
So, that's what we got.

00:22:32
Anything you wanna add to?

00:22:33
That's awesome, man.

00:22:34
I mean, I think the only things I would add are probably well, you already talked about the

00:22:39
protein shake, but we both utilize pre workout supplementation.

00:22:42
I mean, around workouts, pre and we've actually, we did a podcast on this.

00:22:47
So I'll just kind of refer people back to that one, about the intra, the pre, the post, like

00:22:52
kind of how we do around workouts to support this diet.

00:22:55
But, yeah, we both utilize that as well.

00:22:58
And that's that's, you know, just added value.

00:23:00
It's not necessary.

00:23:02
Like, you know yeah.

00:23:04
I would recommend, though.

00:23:06
So I have utilized over the past 3 months a company called BioEdge, our good friends,

00:23:11
Micah, and Diane Lacerte.

00:23:15
They are affiliated with a company called BioEdge.

00:23:18
And, for people that are really looking to lose weight, but then also still have some

00:23:25
incorporated, pre workout, that they have a great bioedge fuel, kind of pre, fat burner,

00:23:32
that I think is a great add on for people that are that are looking.

00:23:36
It has a little bit of beta alanine, not a ton of caffeine in it, but it's a great metabolizer

00:23:41
for to to burn burn fat, while you're in a gym or even just walking around.

00:23:48
Yeah.

00:23:48
And, you know, for sake of this episode, those are just add those are added benefit.

00:23:52
Definitely not part of the full fuel diet or necessary, but that was awesome, man.

00:23:56
Good breakdown of all that.

00:23:58
I think the biggest thing is, like, I I like that you gave different ways to incorporate the

00:24:04
full fuel approach into different eating time time frames.

00:24:08
Right?

00:24:08
Like, you and I follow the same diet, but, like, I eat probably 3 meals a day.

00:24:12
You're eating more.

00:24:13
So, you know, because I'm not eating till 10, 11, maybe even noon some days, and then I'm

00:24:18
done by 7, 8.

00:24:19
So I've got an 8 hour eating window, to get 2, 3 big meals in.

00:24:23
And so, you know, it my structure looks different, but the components are the same.

00:24:27
So Exactly.

00:24:29
Yeah.

00:24:30
Cool.

00:24:30
Cool, man.

00:24:31
