In my previous interview with Dr. Michael Greger, we discussed his book How Not to Die, which is, in my opinion, the best, most comprehensive book on nutritional science ever written.

In today’s interview, filmed aboard the Holistic Holiday at Sea Cruise, Dr. Greger and I talk about his incredible new evidence-based weight loss book, How Not to Diet.

Why do I care about weight loss? Because obesity is the second leading cause of cancer. Excess body fat promotes hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and immunosuppression. Losing excess fat and getting down to a healthy weight and BMI is essential for prevention and healing.

Dr. Greger made quite a few surprising and fascinating discoveries while combing through the scientific literature to learn the best dietary strategies to lose excess weight and keep it off…

Like how dinner calories are twice as fattening as breakfast calories (seriously!), the best intermittent fasting strategy, spices that accelerate weight loss, and so much more!

You’re gonna love this interview with Dr. Michael Greger!

0:00.0	What's up everybody? It's Chris. I'm here with Dr. Michael Greger.

0:55.0	And this is also a tome.
0:57.8	I mean, it's a massive volume of research.
1:01.5	And I would love for you to talk about, you told your story last time we did the interview,
1:06.2	how you got into nutritional science and became an MD focused on nutrition, so we
1:10.5	don't have to revisit
1:11.1	that. But I'd love to just dig right into what prompted you to write this book, and
1:18.1	then some of the surprises that you learned, maybe things that you, assumptions you had that
1:24.2	were completely overturned by dietary research.
1:27.4	You know, with so much nutritional noise and nonsense these days, I just wanted their you had, they were completely overturned by dietary research.
