In this episode of Intermittent Fasting for the Win, Daniela and Mike dive into the fascinating differences between food culture in the United States and Europe, exploring how these distinctions impact health, intermittent fasting, and overall wellness. Join us as we break down the key contrasts, including:
- Local Markets vs. Box Stores: Discover the charm and benefits of shopping at local European markets, where fresh, seasonal produce reigns supreme, compared to the convenience-driven, mass-produced options often found in American big-box stores. We discuss how these shopping habits influence food quality and dietary choices.
- Good vs. Bad Ingredients: Learn about the stark differences in ingredient standards between the US and Europe. From stricter regulations on additives and preservatives in Europe to the prevalence of processed foods in the US, we unpack how these factors affect nutrition and fasting outcomes.
