Realfoodology Why Most Diets Fail: Ultra-Processed Foods, Plant-Based Myths & Real Satiety | Brian Sanders
282: In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Sanders, founder of the Food Lies docuseries, to break down how we ended up trapped in a culture dominated by ultra-processed foods and confusing diet options. We unpack why so many popular diets fail, how to actually find satiety, and what human cultures around the world reveal about the link between plant-based diets and longevity (it’s not what you think). Brian also exposes the truth about seed oils, cholesterol, and why his health markers improved when he embraced a more animal-based approach. If you’re overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will help you finally make sense of it all.
Topics Discussed:
→ Why are ultra-processed foods making us sick and hungry all the time?
→ Do plant-based diets really lead to longevity?
→ What do hunter-gatherer diets reveal about the best human diet?
→ How do harmful industrial oils stack up to traditional fats like olive oil and tallow?
→ Is cholesterol actually bad for you?
