Weight Loss - Part 1

On Episode 7 of The SmartyPlants Podcast, Judi and Phill discuss Weight Loss. 

Weight is something that many people struggle with and in fact, obesity is epidemic in the US. And, this is not a good thing because it’s linked to chronic disease including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. 

They talk about:

What it means to be overweight and obese

Fad diets—how they are not sustainable and never lead to keeping the weight off

BMI–a formula that calculates whether people are at a healthy weight or not

Calorie Density 

How to eat more and still lose weight! 

Calories IN, calories OUT. How weight loss comes down to simple math! 

They explain how to lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks!

How snacking on even healthy fats (like nuts) can keep the pounds on.

Why no oil? This is a question they are asked all the time so they dive deep into it.

Healthy fats—nuts, seeds and avocados and how to incorporate them into a WFPB diet.

They had so much to say on this topic, that they broke it into 2 episodes!

So, tune-in because this episode is packed with great info and then come back next week for more!
