Welcome to the Eat This Not That podcast.

I'm John Hammond and this is Megan Murphy.

Hi everyone.

And in this episode, we are going to hopefully stop you from hitting the panic button as so many of us do early in a new year.

Because we're looking for like a quick weight loss fix, right?

We want to, we want to kind of, maybe dropping a few pounds or maybe, you know, getting control of our health is like the New Year's resolution. And we, and typical Americans, like, we want it now.
