Accurate diet advice isn’t sexy. It doesn’t really sell books, despite being pretty straight-forward. Prioritise vegetables and fruit. Prioritise comp...lex carbohydrates. Prioritise polyunsaturated fat. Prioritise lean sources of meat. Get plenty of fibre. How do I know this to be true? Well, I’ve deliberately befriended and learnt from people trained in nutrition science, also known as dietitians and nutritionists. Why else do you think my podcast is with @thenutritional_advocate and not a fellow doctor? People are experts in their field for a reason. That doesn’t mean that others can’t have valid opinions and input, but just like Mr Flat-Earth doesn’t trump the community of astronomers, Dr Keto doesn’t trump the community of nutrition scientists. N.B. as always, food is a privilege. Despite the advice being accurate and relatively straightforward, implementing it isn’t so easy for everyone across the socio-economic spectrum. See more
