Summary
Are you eating enough calories with a low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet? There is a significant difference between the number of calories in the standard diet and the total calories in a healthier plant-based diet. The disparity between the two can be so great that it's fair to wonder whether you're still getting enough energy after making the switch.
Discover the sweet spot for weight loss when Dr. Jim Loomis joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.
Topics Discussed:
- Caloric vs. nutrient density
- Pasta and weight gain
- Maintaining muscle mass while losing weight
- The best healthy substitutes for sugar
- Are almonds healthier than peanuts?
- And more!
