What's Worse, SUGAR or FAT? Low Carb Vs Low Fat Debate!
Send us a text! We'd love to hear what you think of the podcast!
Tune in as we break down the science related to a low carbohydrate and a low fat diet. We compare and contrast the research and pick a winner at the end!
During the episode we talk about the history of nutritional research, the anti-sugar community (as well as the anti-fat community), whether or not sugar is addictive, is sugar bad for you, is fat bad for you, what is the optimal approach for weight/fat loss, the obesity epidemic as it relates to food availability, the satiety index of different foods, and SO MUCH MORE!
