Why am I not losing weight?
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! While high protein, virtually no-carb foods like meat and eggs are low on the glycemic index, they measure high on the insulin index. In other words, while the meat and eggs didn’t cause a spike in blood sugar the way most carbohydrates do, they do result in a significant rise in insulin, which can cause you to not lose weight. This episode talks all about this and so much more!

Does the Whole30 Diet Work?
Sunday Nov 05, 2023
Sunday Nov 05, 2023
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! The Whole30 plan follows a paleo philosophy but with some extra restrictions. It’s not a diet or a weight loss plan that focuses on tracking calories or counting points. Whole30 much more resembles an elimination diet plan. The idea behind this approach is to reset your metabolism and digestive tract. According to some research studies, elimination diets like Whole30 can be an effective tool to help some people with gastrointestinal issues. The question is though, does it really work?
