Listen "036: Supersized Lies with Robert Davis"
Episode Synopsis
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
Robert is in the unique position of being both a scientist and a journalist. He dissects the science behind popular health claims as The Healthy Skeptic. You can about him here:
