Listen now
Description
In this episode I ruffle some feathers by stating the problem with dietitians who give all the wrong advice about diabetes and why there is a serious problem with the anti-diet crowd who wrongly assume that all diets are doomed to fail and that BMI doesn't correlate to health. ⠀ As always, I raise the difficult topics that others won’t, try to explain the nuances of this subject and why they are wrong. ⠀ "I don't think I'm smarter than anyone, I just see things others don't see. I'm not here to judge, I'm here to point out things you may or may not understand and make you think." ⠀ TOPICS ⠀ 03:45 The real problem with anti-diet culture that nobody is talking about ⠀ 12:01 Why it’s dumb to say that BMI isn’t correlated with health ⠀ 23:12 The finer detail of BMI: What you need to know. ⠀ 28:20 Why prevention really is better than a cure ⠀ 37:01 Why crazy nutritional zealots actually help us understand nutrition (It’s not what you think) ⠀ 41:58 Do 95% of diets really fail & the truth about intuitive eating ⠀ 48:08 How we might be able to use our diets to set ourselves up for long-term weight loss maintenance
