There are so many reasons people want to lose weight.
Whether they’re influenced by social media, or are driven to live a healthier lifestyle, people are becoming increasingly caught up in dieting trends.
Keto and Paleo have become a couple of the go-to choices for people looking to shed a few pounds, but are they actually good for you?
Today’s guest is Dr. Michael Greger, the physician behind the popular site NutritionFacts.org and the author of the New York Times Bestseller, How Not To Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease.
Dr. Greger, Dotsie, and Alexandra dig into the science behind plant-based diets being the best option when trying to lose weight while keeping your mind and body healthy.
You’ll also get a peek into the contents of How Not to Die and the tools you can use to start making healthier choices today.
