Welcome to the latest episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show! In this solo edition host Kevin English breaks down the Silver Edge Nutrition Pyramid to simplify your approach to food for achieving your body composition goals. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle building, or overall health, this framework will guide you through how to fuel your body effectively.

Key Takeaways:

• Nutrition Overload: Kevin addresses the overwhelming amount of conflicting nutrition advice and offers a streamlined, straightforward approach.
• The Silver Edge Nutrition Pyramid: A simple four-layer pyramid to help you prioritize what matters most for your body composition goals:
  1. What You Eat: Real, whole foods should make up the foundation of your diet. Prioritizing protein is essential for muscle building and fat loss.
  2. How You Eat: Eating slowly, mindfully, and with intention helps with digestion and prevents overeating.
  3. How Much You Eat: Understanding your daily caloric needs is critical but should only be considered after nailing down what and how you eat.
  4. When You Eat: The least important factor, Kevin dispels the myth that timing your meals (like intermittent fasting) is a magic bullet for fat loss.
