[1:01:36] How "white" foods like rice and potatoes PROMOTE health IF you do this…[1:10:30] How many meals per day are ideal and does timing matter? [1:18:25] Is consuming protein overhyped or massively important? [1:22:51] More evidence that you should eat the majority of your carbs at night. [1:25:37] The incredible health benefits of coffee.
