Summary

There's so much contradictory nutrition advice online right now—seed oils are toxic, eating breakfast is the key to losing weight, skipping breakfast is the key to losing weight, stress is the root problem. It feels like every single scroll gives you a new rule about what’s okay to eat. We like to focus on advice that's actionable and realistic, not just viral. So we're ranking healthy eating advice from the internet from superior advice to horrible advice. I’m joined by registered dietician Kylie Sakaida, aka @nutritionbykylie, who has her master's in nutrition science and is a bestselling cookbook author. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • If the natural defense chemicals in plants are trying to kill you • The real connection between sleep and sugar cravings • Whether skipping breakfast actually works • The science behind seed cycling for hormone health • Everything you need to know about raw milk • Fiber maxing–how to increase intake without turning into a bloated mess • Filling up on the right foods without sacrificing satisfaction • How to distribute protein throughout the day Check out the previous ranking advice episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast: • Therapy Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with Lori Gottlieb) • Money Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with HerFirst100K) For more from Kylie Sakaida: • Instagram: @nutritionbykylie • Substack: NutritionbyKylie • Book: So Easy.
