106: Alan Aragon (part 2) - Low carb diets, insulin resistance + blood sugar 'spikes' after meals, seed oils, scaremongering individual ingredients and how to weed through the BS in the nutrition space

Part 2 of my conversation with Alan Aragon - diving into some of the common misconceptions floating around in the nutrition space. Topics discussed on this episode:

-Should you be going low carb to lose weight?

-Cause of insulin resistance + improving insulin sensitivity

-Dow we need to be worried about rises in blood sugar after meals?

-Identifying sound nutrition advice/recommendations vs. marketing gimmicks

-Rise in popularity of vilifying seed oils - should they be avoided or included in your diet?

-Scaremongering around individual ingredients in the online nutrition space

+ so much more in-between.

I loved this conversation and I know you will too!
