143. Low Carb vs. Low Fat vs. High Protein: Which Macro Diet Actually Works For Weight Loss And Better Health?

from Smart Weight Loss Coaching | Nutrition, Mindset and Fitness Tips for Women Who Want To Level Up Their Health, Wellness and Longevity · host Lisa Oldson, MD | Weight Loss Coach

Is low-carb better than low-fat? Should you be eating 120 grams of protein a day? The internet says yes, but the science says it's not that simple. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson digs into Dr. Kevin Hall's groundbreaking NIH research to explain why your macro ratio matters far less than you think. The real key to weight loss? The quality of the food on your plate; not the ratio of macros in it. Plus, Dr. Lisa shares why she's never counted her own macros, what to know if you're on a GLP-1 medication, and how to find your NBA, your next best action, without overhauling your entire life.Thanks for listening!
