The Long & Thick Podcast

Most people think they have a diet problem… but what they really have is a misunderstanding of how food works.

In Episode 6 of The Long & Thick Podcast, we get into the fundamentals of nutrition—no gimmicks, no gurus. Just science, strategy, and a bit of profanity.

We cover:

. What protein, fat, and carbs actually do

. Why calories matter, but macronutrients matter more

. The hidden forces behind energy balance and fat gain

. How hyperpalatable foods trick your brain into overeating

. Why a high-protein diet is the real MVP

. How micronutrient deficiencies wreck your energy and mood

. And why your smoothie might be the reason you’re not making progress
