0:00.0	Stan, welcome to the podcast. You know, I'd love to start off by talking about something that I feel
0:06.6	is a super underrated topic and something that my community hasn't really thought about a lot of. And that's
0:13.2	the idea of minimizing hunger. In fact, you had a quote that I pulled from a podcast that I listened to

1:31.1	Other people struggle with a term that's been coined recently called food noise.

1:42.4	And if you're going to successfully diet, you can't
1:45.8	set yourself up for failure by constantly being voraciously hungry. There's going to be, you've got
