In our 'Truth About Sugar' episode, Dr. Bricker goes into more detail around his youtube episode; Robert Lustig's "Hacking of the American Mind." 

As he states, "the constant stimulation of dopamine in our brains has increased obesity, metabolic syndrome, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and depression."  This is why we have invited him to speak about sugars effect on us physiologically and psychologically.

What this tells us - we can't address health, without addressing nutrition! 

What is Flexible Dieting?  

It's certainly not just If-It-Fits-Your-Macros [IIFYM]... but it's also not strictly Intuitively Eating.

That's why we asked the God-Father of Flexible Dieting, President/Founder of The Diet Doc, our friend, Dr. Joe Klemczewski, PhD, to answer for us ---

"It's eating the foods you want, in the amounts you need."

Food has no moral value, therefor there are no "good" nor "bad" foods.

No foods should leave you feeling guilty for consuming them.

Sugar alcohols, supplementation and digestion.

*Cheat Meal* is quite possibly the worse phrase known to dieting.
