#9 - The Fat and Carb Conundrum

Welcome BACK to the Balanced Bodies Blueprint!

In this episode, hosts Vinny Russo and Dr. Eryn Stansfield dismantle diet dogma. Unravel misconceptions about fats, carbs, and calories, and gain insights into a holistic approach to nutrition.

Insights:

*Carbs and Fats Unveiled: Understand the truth about dietary fats and carbs – they're not the enemy, and challenge the belief that carbs hinder weight loss.

*Low-Carb Reality: Explore the consequences of extreme low-carb diets. Carbs are crucial for energy.

*Genetic Weight Loss: Dive into a study on weight loss in high-carb and high-fat diets based on individual genotypes.

*Calorie Hierarchy: Vinny emphasizes the hierarchy of nutrition, focusing on calorie intake, protein, and exercise.

*Calorie Calculators Exposed: Generic calculators don't consider individual goals. Vinny recommends personalized approaches.

*AI in Nutrition: While AI can assist, the human touch is irreplaceable in coaching.

*Glycemic Index vs. Load: Vinny favors glycemic load for a comprehensive understanding of carbs' impact on blood sugar.
