Fat Is Not the Enemy 35:27

35:27

If you were around during the 90's, you probably remember the low-fat and fat-free craze: skim milk, low-fat snacks... and god forbid you ate a plate of eggs. Today, we know a lot more about fat, and that certain types of fat are actually an important part of a healthy diet. So, how do you keep track of which fats you're supposed to eat, and which you're supposed to avoid? On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with Dr. Kyla Lara-Breitenger to untangle our notions of "good" and "bad" fats, demystify cholesterol, and embrace the tastiness—and healthiness—that fat can bring to our food.

Many of the eating habits we learn or adopt in childhood can continue into adulthood. So let's take a trip down memory lane.

I Saw It on TikTok: Fad Diets 34:23

34:23

There’s this one weird trick doctors don’t want you to know… because it doesn’t work. It’s natural to hope for a one-size-fits-all, lose-weight-fast-and-forever solution. And if your sibling or friend is doing it or you saw it on TikTok, it can be tempting to just give it a try and see what happens. But what's the science behind these diets? Are some better than others? And will your nutritionist judge you if you try one? On this episode of Mayo Clinic on Nutrition, we talk with Dr. Summer Allen about the good and the fad: what makes diets work (or seem like they do) and what you should consider before trying one yourself.
