In this episode Clint explains how his diet has evolved through the years, from the early stages of the Paddison Program to his current state where he has added lots of different foods to the baseline, and how the process of adding a new element can work, sometimes even by accident. More variety in the diet can help feel more satiated but can also have a beneficial effect on the microbiome.
