Optavia Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

Why eat food when you can spend more money for packaged "scientifically designed fuelings" instead?! Today we take a deep dive into Optavia, and what we found was not good. We'd recommend you just stick with food. Today's BS PS is all about protein: how much should we eat, is it overrated, and what to think about when choosing protein foods and supplements.

A device that can "measure your metabolism" and encourages you when you're "burning fat"? Yea.. we're baffled/infuriated too. In this episode, we discuss (aka rant about) the company Lumen and all the problems that pushing "fat burning metabolism" can cause. A warning: we get headed and Marie drops a couple of f-bombs.

In 2015, the media went WILD after a report from the World Health Organization classified both red meat and processed meat as things linked to cancer. In this episode, we take a look at what the numbers published ACTUALLY mean (spoiler: it's not as earth shattering as the media would make you believe), and whether or not these classifications mean you should cut red meat and processed meats out of your diet.
