The SAD Diet (or Standard American Diet) and Why It's Problematic


Listen Later

In today's episode, we talk about the SAD Diet, otherwise known as the Standard American Diet – and the negative implications it can can on your health.

We touch on:

What constitutes the SAD diet and why the SAD Diet is so problematic.

Why refined sugars and carbohydrates are less than optimal for our health.

Why plant foods (fruits, veggies, herbs, whole, unrefined grains) and fiber are essential to a healthy life.

How many fruits and veggies + fiber you should be consuming each day for optimal health and digestive function.

Why healthy fats are good for us.

Ways to begin to shift your diet and crowd out the less nutrient-dense packaged and processed foods today.
