036: Supersized Lies with Robert Davis
Are you confused by all the diet advice out there? It’s information overload when it comes to weight loss. Should we eat low-fat or low-carb? Should we do weight training or cardio? What about apple cider vinegar and intermittent fasting? It’s hard to know what to do when there are so many “experts” advocating for different methods of weight loss that all seem to contradict each other.
In this episode of the Mindful Weight Loss podcast, I chat with Robert Davis, author of the timely book, Supersized Lies: How myths about weight loss are keeping as fat – and the truth about what really works. We break it all down for you, busting the weight loss myths by sharing what the science actually says.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How to interpret studies you read about in popular media
- The final answer to the low-carb vs low-fat debate
- The role of “superfoods” in weight loss
- How movement fits into weight loss
- What your ideal weight really is
