Summary of episode:

Listed points:

1 (01:00) - Carbs are bad for you. Fat makes you fat. Sodium is bad. Sugar is bad. (FEAR MONGERING)

-if we listen to what people say is bad, we would be eating literally nothing

2 (02:09) - You should only eat 100% clean

3 (05:13) - Fasting boosts metabolism & is the #1 fat loss tool.
-Fasting reduces energy expenditure in the short term.
-Fasting can be a useful tool to control energy intake but it isn't magic.

4 (06:52) - You can't lose weight because of starvation mode.
-Starvation mode is claimed to occur when a prolonged calorie deficit slows down and halts a person's metabolism, making further weight loss impossible & can even cause weight gain. 
-This is FALSE. A calorie deficit will always result in weight loss over time.
-The law of thermodynamics applies to everyone. Cals in cals out is legit.

5 (06:14) - High-protein diets damage kidneys.

• For people with pre-existing kidney conditions, high protein intake may worsen kidney function

6 (08:08) - Eating before bed causes weight gain

7 (09:56) - All calories are the same.

• Reality: Not all calories have the same effect on the body. The source of calories matters significantly. For example, 100 calories from a sugary soda will affect your blood sugar and insulin levels differently than 100 calories from a portion of vegetables or lean protein. Nutrient-dense foods tend to be more filling and provide essential nutrients, while empty-calorie foods (like sweets and junk food) can lead to overconsumption without providing much nutritional value.

-The time of day you eat doesn't directly affect weight gain. What matters more is your overall calorie intake, nutrient quality, and portion control.
