Fitness Scams: Women's Supplements, Fat Burners, CGMs

Today on the podcast, we dissect three big scams we consistently see in the fitness industry. We talk about gender-specific supplements and the exploitation of women in the fitness industry, slimy marketing tactics, and BCAAs. We discuss “fat burning” versus “losing fat” and why distinguishing between the two matters. We talk about fat burning pills, fat burning workouts, and devices that tell you whether or not you’re burning fat. And, talk in depth about continuous glucose monitors, the role of insulin in the body, and the fear of insulin in diet culture."A lot of supplement companies find an insecurity, poke at it, and market their stuff to fix that insecurity.”- IrisDeadlifts “A lot of people don't realize that you’re going to have to change your lifestyle and your habits before you actually start seeing progress.”- Brooke MadiganThis week on Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness:·      Three big fitness scams·      The exploitation of women’s insecurities in the fitness industry and slimy marketing tactics·      “Fat burning” vs “losing fat” and why distinguishing between the two matters·      The misuse of continuous glucose monitors in people who are not diabetic·      The role of insulin in the body·      The role of blood sugar in the body·      The fear of insulin in diet cultureResources Mentioned:Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!
