Aleen is joined by Tanya Zuckerbrot, registered dietitian and founder of F-Factor to talk about the value of a fiber-rich diet, changing our approach to dieting, and how to maintain weight loss. They start with the origin story of F-Factor and how Tanya discovered the secret of fiber in nutrition. They walk us through the basic principles of F-Factor, discussing the challenges of sticking to a low-calorie diet. Plus, Tanya explains how you can maintain your lifestyle while on F-Factor, including drinking cocktails with dinner like everyone else. They also talk about the correct definition of the word “diet” and how that plays into restrictive food culture overall. Tanya explains the “three bite rule” to be able to indulge in just about anything, as well as misconceptions about the role of carbs in nutrition and weight loss. Next, they respond to a series of listener questions, leading to a conversation about creating a calorie deficit through addition rather than omission. Then they close out the show with some Non Scale Wins for the week.
