Episode Summary

A leading sports physician unpacks why modern eating habits are leaving us heavier, sicker, and more confused than ever about nutrition. Discover how sugar, processed foods, and outdated low-fat advice may be driving obesity, type 2 diabetes, and chronic disease—and what real food can do instead.

Learning points are:

  • We are getting fatter and sicker. Why?
  • Since the introduction of the low fat guidelines, we have become steadily fatter
  • Sugar is the main enemy - not fat
  • Processed food contains sugar, vegetable oils and grains - all arguably not conducive to good health
  • J.E.R.F. - Just Eat Real Food
  • The use of low carb diets has been very helpful for weight loss, reversal of Type 2 diabetes and the management of childhood epilepsy
  • There is increasing interest in the use of low carb diets in the management of a number of other chronic diseases
