0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. My name is Danny Lennon and you are listening to episode 352 of the podcast. And in these types of
0:26.3	episodes as we are having today, I'm going to be joined by Alan Flanagan, who is our research
0:31.9	communication officer here at Sigma Nutrition. And in these episodes, we take one particular topic each week and dive
0:40.1	deeply in on that. But we also have our other segments that you enjoy that includes our listener
0:45.1	question of the week. We will have our quack asylum segment where we take a piece of advice
0:51.4	that is being given out that has been shown to be quackery or pseudoscience
0:55.8	and to show why that is problematic.
0:58.0	And then we'll end up with some random recommendations of the week.
1:02.9	The show notes to this episode are over at sigmautrition.com slash episode 352.

1:30.2	in the episode where I misspoke. We talk about a particular paper related to weight loss maintenance
1:36.9	in the National Weight Control Registry, and it was a follow-up study done by Thomas and colleagues
1:43.6	2014.
1:45.0	But in my discussion of that, I incorrectly referenced the lead author as Diana Thomas,
1:51.0	who is also a well-known researcher, many of you have came across,
1:55.0	when indeed that paper was published by Graham Thomas of Brown University.
2:00.0	So I just want to make that clarification
2:03.1	in case either you are looking for that paper, but also to gear of clear credit to Graham
2:08.7	Thomas at Brown for his work. And so just note that I misspoke at that particular point
