0:21.6	My name is Patrick Cummings. Thank you so much for joining us this episode. I'm here by myself as I occasionally am to introduce the episode we have for you. We have as we've been doing since we've shifted our format.
0:37.4	It's giving me a really nice excuse to go back through our archives. We've been doing the show since, oh gosh, 2016, so we've got a lot of really
0:45.8	interesting, good conversations back in the archives that I know a lot of folks have other
0:50.4	not listened to it all or certainly I've forgotten about.
0:54.0	And this episode that we've got this week is one we had back in September of 2020.
0:59.0	And it was a follow-along conversation that we had trying to simplify nutrition. In fact it was our second
1:04.8	attempt really our second go-around at this conversation around simplifying
1:09.3	nutrition. The first one we had which I think we called simplifying nutrition was way way back in 2017.
1:15.9	And so we talk about in this episode the two things you need to understand before putting
1:19.6	a nutrition plan in place.
1:21.5	Those two things are what your specific goal is and Ben breaks
1:24.7	down three buckets that you can think about and then what your specific eating
1:29.9	style is and then towards the end Ben also gives us a breakdown of what a day of eating looks like for him.
1:38.0	So I'm excited to revisit this conversation with you real quick. If you want to get a question into a future episode,
1:44.1	I surely would love it. I love reading your questions. They definitely help us. Not only shape the
1:48.4	episodes we do that are specifically answering your questions, but they also help me shape generally what is on your mind.
1:55.8	So even if we don't get it your question and specifically I do read them all and I do appreciate them
2:00.9	and I do my best to make sure we are speaking to the things that are on your collective minds.
2:07.0	W.W.chasing excellence dot email is the best way to get a question in.
