IN MURRAY’S OWN WORDS
Verbatim from Barry Murray’s appearances on the podcast.
“I have learned more since I finished in academia than I did when I was in academia. And what I did was what I explained, I just dug deeper and deeper into all the physiology and the mechanisms behind your metabolism.”
“What I will say is one of the main reasons why people still rely on carbs is they haven't given their bodies enough time or progression from eating 70 or 60% carbohydrate diet, they haven't given their body what I think is about six months of a gradual reduction and gradually doing one hour fast, it's moving up to an hour and a half, 90 minutes, moving up to two hours, moving up to three hours.”
“Low carb does not mean zero carb. That was always one of my kind of phrases, you know.”
