Summary

Bite into the secrets of calorie density and how unlocking them can help you lose weight!

Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain the principles of calorie density and the foods you should be eating to help get the scale moving in the right direction.

Plus, raise your health IQ when Chuck opens The Doctor's Mailbag for Dr. Barnard to answer listener questions.

Does the fat in nuts clog your arteries?
Are canned beans healthier with or without salt because of additives?
Is food cooked in a microwave or air frier still healthy?
And many more!

Also, learn the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine and how the practice differs from the doctor's office experience you're probably familiar with. Real life rocket scientist turned physician, Dr. Niki Davis, has the comparison.
