What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast and as always I am your

host Mike Milner and I am back with a solo episode after having a couple of amazing guests on and I've got some

great interviews lined up for you guys but today I wanted to jump on and talk about a topic that I

posted on social media and it got a ton of just engagement.

So this was a post that I made about how in nutrition we are consistently seeing people having these conversations that are pretty irrelevant.

And I made this post, it was like, let's stop having the wrong conversations and what I mean by that is you

see all over the place when it comes to nutrition that we argue over the methodologies we argue over the methodologies,

we argue over what diet is best,

or what eating style is best,

and we have these back and forth conversations,

and we see people becoming so married to their dietary protocol that it

literally becomes like a religion. And before I go into this concept I do want to just help set the stage because as humans it is in

our nature to want to be a part of a group. Like we have we evolved and have survived this long because of

our ability to cooperate. So it is our nature as humans to want to feel like we belong to a group or a community. So it makes sense that we tend to, like with these nutrition protocols, we put labels on them and we identify with them and it's like you know you're not following a kido diet you're kido and it's like that is your identity or you're not following the carnivore diet you're a

carnivore and you're vegan and you identify so strongly with your diet and I wanted to say that I do understand as humans why we have the

tendency to do this. However it is very harmful when we keep putting these protocols up against each other and we have these

arguments about what's best because it's doing a disservice to the general population who ends up more confused than ever and if the ultimate goal is for all of us to get healthier and to feel better and to become better versions of ourselves if we all

want that for the general population and we're all on the same page with that we're really doing

a huge disservice to everybody out there who just wants some quality information,

but feels like they're constantly getting conflicting messages all the time, just being like bombarded with this diet is best know this diet is best and people who become

So passionate and married to their their nutrition it literally becomes like a religion and it also gives the impression

that we have to choose a camp. And I use this example of, if you remember back in the day there was those you know taste commercials with Pepsi and Coke and was like what taste better Pepsi or Coke and it was like a really well done marketing scheme to basically tell the consumer that they only have two options when it comes to their soda choices.
