317 Is Low Carb Still Relevant?

Fibre-maxxing, high protein everything, GLP-1 injections... diet trends come and go, but does your body actually care what's fashionable? In this episode, Dr Lucy Burns and Dr Mary Barson take a good look at why real food, higher protein and lower carb eating remains one of the most effective approaches for metabolic health, no matter what's currently having a moment on social media.  Dr Lucy and Dr Mary unpack why our physiology hasn't caught up with our rapidly changing food environment, and why that matters for anyone trying to lose weight or improve their health. They explore the difference between trendy fibre and food-industry fibre, why adherence (not willpower) is usually the real barrier to lasting change, and how GLP-1 medications can work in partnership with a real food, lower carb approach rather than replacing it. They also bust the myth that these medications are "cheating," explaining how they may help quiet food noise so people can actually use the tools they've learned.  If you've ever felt like low carb is old news, this episode is an evidence-informed reminder that some fundamentals never really go out of style. Tune in for practical insight you can actually use, trendy or not.  For more information about Real Life Medicine and our programs and special offers: https://www.rlmedicine.com/  Episode, show notes & transcript https://www.rlmedicine.com/is-low-carb-still-relevant See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
