| 0:00.0 | What is up, everyone? |
| 0:01.4 | We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast, quote unquote, |
| 0:05.2 | to catch you up on the newest trends in fad diets that are based on popular opinion and not research and actual evidence. |
| 0:12.2 | Enter myself, Mariana. |
| 0:14.3 | We're here. |
| 0:14.8 | We made fitness stuff for normal people podcasts to make exercise and nutrition science practical. |
| 0:20.0 | Our goal is to expose misinformation in the industry by providing only evidence-based education |
| 0:24.1 | where today we are covering the coveted 1,200 calorie diets. |
| 0:29.6 | We're going to cover a TikTok video where we saw a what I eat today, 1,200 calories. |
| 0:33.6 | See if there's any legitimacy to it because you know Marianna and I, we're very partial. |
| 0:36.6 | We don't say always and never, almostna and i we're very partial we don't say |
| 0:37.5 | always and never almost never so we're going to cover this and go into a couple different |
| 0:42.7 | factors that play into the rule of if the 1,200 calorie diet is right for you probably not but |
| 0:48.1 | before we get started as a friendly reminder this show is free it always will be free it's our |
| 0:54.0 | part and passion to bring zero cost to consumer education to as many people as we possibly can. We like to remind you guys, the easiest way that you can support us outside than just sharing the show on social media is to simply just give this show a five-star rating on whatever you're watching on. A thumbs up on YouTube, five stars on Spotify on Apple. That pushes it to more people, which helps us accomplish our goal. And it's the easiest way to support if you're looking for a way. And we appreciate every single person who has done so because it's a little overwhelming how many people rush to do so. So thank you guys so freaking much, especially on Apple. The actual five star reviews that you guys left comments on are so freaking sweet so sweet so we want to |
| 1:28.6 | say thank you for that and everything that you do and listening now before we jump into it watch |
| 1:32.8 | and pull up the video miss mariana how are you i'm good i'm good i'm trucking along how'd you say it |

I'm like, I forget how much you used your mouth to talk on audio-based platform. Even if you're good, you're still talking so much more than usual. So we're trucking along. Good news is this probably shouldn't be the longest episode in the world. But why don't we pull up the clip that you found? It's a what I eat in a day, which if you're unfamiliar, is when anybody just pulls up and pretty much takes you along a video of showing them exactly what they eat from when they wake up to when they go to bed. Right. So let's pull that up. And there's so many of these. Like we just, there's so many. This is just a recent one. And it's what I eat for 1,200 calories in a day. I'm going to skip a few parts. We'll get to the important pieces. |
| 2:35.9 | I eat for 1,200 calories today when I want to have a reset day. It's also a reset day. |
