Why Diets Always Fail: Harvard Professor Exposes Food Myths | Daniel Lieberman (E439)
Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player
Every serving of meat increases your risk of dying in a given year by I think 13%. What? There's no such thing as an optimal diet. There's no magic bullet diet. There's no diet that solves every problem.
When you diet, which is to basically eat less fewer calories than you're spending, what happens? We get hungry and food companies are making a fortune. Add all these additives, so you combine all these products, you have foods that we love, that we crave, and the manufacturers know exactly what they're doing. We're victims, right? I mean, there's so much prepared food and it's so cheap.
All you need to know is how to press a button. I think the best diets aren't actually diets. Why not? Daniel, welcome back to High Performance. Thank you.
