132. ​​The Lies You're Being Fed About Nutrition And How To Clean Up Your Diet With Louise Mercieca

ABOUT THE EPISODE Keto, paleo, vegetarian, carnivore….pick a diet, you've probably tried it and had mixed results. Figuring out the right foods for your body is a difficult task. And according to our guest, it's made even harder by food companies that are intentionally manipulating you so you'll keep overeating. In this episode, we talk with Louise Mercieca. She is a Nutritional Therapist and award-winning author of "How Food Shapes Your Child." Louise is also the host of Louise's Health Kick podcast, promoting a healthy lifestyle without the contradictory and often, misplaced advice in the world of nutrition.  What we discuss with Louise: Why you can't out-train a bad diet. One hour of activity a day doesn't offset sitting on your ass 23 hours a day Like a puzzle - every piece matters. Good sleep, good diet, movement - do all of it. Calories are essentially meaningless and why you should track macros Shitty food is like a drug. It's super addictive. Hard to quit but so worth it, especially for growing kids Don't let the conversation end there.
