What thrives in a deficit? Stop and think about that question for a moment. And then consider that the diet industry has been telling us that calorie deprivation is the only way to weight loss and overall health. In a recent study, more than 50% of Americans are on a diet, but only about 5% of people can maintain weight loss for the long term. This week’s episode is an open letter to nutritionists...
