Summary

Tim Spector OBE is an award-winning scientist and author, with over 1,000 original articles published in some of the world’s top scientific journals placing him in the top 1% most cited scientists on the planet.  In this groundbreaking exposé of an episode, Tim talks to Rob about just why the information you've always been fed about diets and fitness might not be as reliable as you've been led to believe, the scandalous scam at the heart of the industry that profits from your so-called wellbeing, and how you can REALLY take control of your body, your mind and your wellbeing. Revealed: How food information is outdated, and in many cases, comes from pre-war thinking. Exercise isn't the way to lose weight, and neither is eating less fat. Why calorie counting is NOT a successful way to lose weight, and how most printed calorie data is a lie. The scandal that sits at the heart of the food industry - being controlled by money men who want to profit from your diets and fitness regimes. How the politics of cheap food are actually poisoning you rather than helping you Why the supplements you’ve been sold as “miracle drugs” might just be a waste of money Also featured Why the accepted information on nutrition and fitness is so out of date and behind the times. Why the short-term nature of government has led to a never-ending cycle of malnutrition. Why you should never believe the calorie counts on the food labelling you've been led to trust. BEST MOMENTS "Most of the stuff you hear about in the media are giving us the wrong idea about food and are based on out-of-date concepts from the war. They have no place in our modern world" "Nutrition works very slowly. To get nutritional guidelines in place takes a long time" "It's a scam, it's a scandal. It's certainly rather immoral, and it's been covered up by multiple governments" "Even professionals cannot calorie count. Most of the stuff in restaurants are actually plus or minus 50% because of portion sizes varying" VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Tim Spector - https://tim-spector.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

It's a scam, it's a scandal, it's certainly rather immoral and it's been covered up by

0:06.4

multiple governments because they feel that it's much more important to have jobs in

0:11.6

factories making biscuits, for example, in their constituency than to actually create a

better healthier food environment.

Tim, what do you mean by why almost everything we've been told about food is wrong?

0:27.6

I mean that most of the stuff in textbooks you read on government websites that you

hear in the media are giving us completely the wrong idea about food and are based on

out-of-date concepts about nutrition and food that came from the war years and starvation

and really have no place in our modern world.

There are some facts that are correct, there are many that are not and I think it's really

a total misunderstanding now that we've got to deal with.

1:00.7

So give us the facts you think are correct, the main ones and then let's go into all the

1:04.8

things you think are wrong.

1:07.6

Eating more fruits and vegetables, eating more fibre, they're all good.

1:15.4

Eating less fat is not correct.

1:19.8

Eating regularly throughout the day, never skipping meals is incorrect.
