The homework is a SELF-HELP GUIDE for fixing your nutrition using the 80/20 principle, meaning that you will achieve at least 80% of your goals by changing at most 20% of how you are eating, usually by shifting nutrient WHEN you eat.

GRADING your homework: It takes me (“Dr. Clyde”) about 1 hour to quickly grade all 6 assignments to help students do a “tune up” to make their nutrition more efficient. It takes closer to 2 hours for me to review the assignments when students do a deeper dive and include detailed questions for faster results.

CONSULTATION: You can bypass doing the homework as a self-help guide by messaging or emailing me a) your current eating pattern, b) your exercise pattern, and c) your goals. Include your hydration pattern, typical meals and snacks, and when you eat relative to waking, exercise, and sleeping. After I receive this, we can have a 1-hour Zoom meeting so I can fully understand your situation before I write your nutrition program.
