This interview podcast features Mel Robbins interviewing Dr. William Li about his research on metabolism and weight loss. The discussion begins with a general overview of metabolism and the different types of body fat, emphasizing the importance of targeting visceral fat. Dr. Li then introduces practical strategies for weight loss, including intermittent fasting (with a focus on extending nighttime fasting and delaying morning meals), mindful eating techniques (the "two-thirds rule" and the Hara Hachi Bunme concept), and the incorporation of specific foods to boost metabolism (tomatoes, pomegranates, kiwi, matcha, dark chocolate, and edamame). Finally, Dr. Li advises listeners to avoid sugary drinks, ultra-processed foods, and plastic-packaged products, highlighting the negative impact of microplastics on health. The episode concludes with actionable steps for listeners to improve their metabolism and overall health.
