RDs vs. BS

If ever there was a product we had to take down, it would be the miracle-weight-loss-pill hydroxycut. By now, our listeners know there is simply no one pill you can take for magic weight loss, but let's take a look at what is actually in these pills. Spoiler: it's bad, and kind of scary! BS PS looks into what to look for on labels of sports drinks, and what marketing gimmicks to avoid.

You may have noticed a recent ad campaign promoting the newest weight loss program called Calibrate. This company promises to use biology in YOUR favor with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. We take a look at the nutrition advice promoted and the medication prescribed. Is the program really the weight loss miracle it claims? BS PS discusses officially and colloquial definitions of the term "processed foods".

WOWZA. We didn't think it could get worse than last week, but somehow it did. Our second and final episode on "Eat Fat, Get Thin" by Mark Hyman, MD get's into the implementation and specific rules of the EFGT meal plan. If you thought some diets we've talked about in the past were restrictive, buckle on in for this one.  A reminder that this podcast is our thoughts and opinions only.

On today's episode, we review the first half of the book "Eat Fat, Get Thin" (cue eye roll of the title) by Mark Hyman, MD. This low carb advocate (but also simultaneously "plant based foods", which are carbs, advocate), takes us through a convoluted web of seemingly conflicting ideologies and ideas around metabolism, weight, and health. We read this book so you don't have to! Listen to find out if you really need to start "eating fat" to "get thin".  A reminder that this podcast is our thoughts and opinions only.

Happy last episode of 2021! To celebrate, we're brining you a fun episode discussing some of the worst diets we've seen or heard of just for a laugh. Please don't try any of these diets at home! Our BS PS was inspired by Emily's recent trip to Mexico where her hotel breakfast buffet always featured a chlorophyll drink with lots of health promises.

Gluten - we're all avoiding it in the name of health, but do most people even know what it is? In this episode, we talk about what gluten is, what it does in the food and in the body, and who, if anybody, should be avoiding it. But don't worry, this episode is certified gluten-free! Our BS PS looks at Magic Mind, a 2oz liquid supplement that claims all kinds of magic and wellness.

We've probably all heard of WW (the diet program previously known as Weight Watchers). But what is a dietitian's take on this program? Is it worth trying if weight loss is your goal, or is it all just BS. Check out our NEW segment at the beginning of the episode called "Sh*t at the Grocery Store", and wait until the end for our BS PS about cholesterol and eggs.
