286: How to Love Your Body

One of the best ways to love your body is to stop poisoning it with excess sugar, starch and carbohydrates. This sounds obvious, but it's actually a huge challenge.

In the short term, this affects your mood and waistline; in the long term, it reduces your healthspan and lifespan very dramatically.

  • Why there is no need to be scared of white sugar
  • How whole grains can actually be a problem
  • Why to focus on the fabulous four: fiber, fat, protein and greens
