#280: The Realistic Approach to Eating Right with Dr. Chris Mohr

Do you find yourself confused and overwhelmed when it comes to nutrition?

 

How and what should you eat? What should you eliminate?

 

One expert says to avoid carbs at all costs, and eat a high fat diet, and the next says the exact opposite.

 

One says you need to eat 5-6 times a day for optimal results and the other says meal frequency and timing doesn’t matter.

 

It becomes even more confusing when you look at the plethora of diets; carnivore, low carb, high carb, carb cycling, keto, paleo, low protein, high protein, vegetarian, vegan, IF, flex dieting, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

 

It’s insanity!!

 

You just want to know what works and what doesn’t.

 

Dr. Chris Mohr has made a career out of teaching people simple, practical and effective ways to eat for a healthy lifestyle. His website, Mohr Results, provides info that helps people juggle the demands of a busy life while fulfilling their desire to live actively and fully.
