Today’s questions from What When Wine Diet readers cover an array of topics! Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Chad had to take some antibiotics for a tooth infection, which disrupted his Intermittent Fasting routine, […]
Continue reading >Check out my new Winning Wine Video for a brief lowdown on the white wine Sauvignon Blanc. While I adore Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc is actually one of my least favorite wines. The phrase often used to describe Sauvignon Blanc is “cat’s pee on a gooseberry bush”… which is just majorly unappealing. Also, Sauvignon Blanc often has a grassy profile, and pairs […]
Continue reading > People often ask me what it’s like to first begin intermittent fasting. While I can definitely tell you what intermittent fasting feels like in general, the initial transition is a different story. I’ve been doing IF for so long (4 years now!), that I don’t really remember what it’s like… not to do it. Plus, I was low carb (though not Paleo) […]
Continue reading > People often wonder what intermittent fasting “feels like,” assuming it’s a state of constant hunger and food-frenzied day dreaming. (That’s what I always thought!)

Continue reading > Deluding yourself is usually not a good thing… except when it’s a good thing. A 2011 study conducted at Yale, found that perception of calorie intake influences the body’s hormonal and metabolic response to calorie intake. Check out my YouTube Video on the study, or just keep reading! The study administered a 380 calorie milkshake to 46 participants, in two separate […]
Continue reading > Time to look at the Gut Microbiome! IN Part I of this gutsy series, I discussed how what we eat determines levels of inflammation and disease. But there’s another chapter in the story, which plays an equally important role. If you thought the fact that 80% of the immune system is in the gut was crazy, consider this: about 90% of […]
Continue reading > Today’s questions comes from What When Diet reader Paul: Loved your book. It reminded me of why I loved doing primal a few years. The steakssss and going to farmers marketsss… Ok basically, I’m a musician and gained some pounds after moving to LA. But this last year I’ve been trying to shed off those pounds. And being semi- […]
Continue reading > Todays questions come from Murcia, who started IF, and has a few followup questions after reading The What When Wine Diet. “Your book is Amazing and I just finished it 🙂 I guess I have to start again.
