Busting Common Diet and Nutrition Myths with April Ball from Foxy Over 40

Realistic Habits Podcast with Randa Derkson

Diet Myths, Let’s separate fact from fiction

Welcome to the Realistic Nutrition Podcast. That’s right, I said Realistic Nutrition Podcast, not Healthy Mama’s Podcast. I mentioned a few episodes back that I was considering going this route to be true to my beliefs and decided to jump.

We all know that I don’t believe in crazy fad diets, deprivations, or restrictions and neither does today’s guest.
Today I’m welcoming April Ball from Foxy over 40 to the podcast. She has a no-nonsense approach to nutrition and she does it in the most hilarious way over at foxyover40.

Some of the dieting myths we're covering:

• If you want to lose weight, you have to cut carbs.
• Carbs after dark.
• Take out is bad, fast food is bad.
• In order to lose weight, you have to eat clean.
• To kick start weight loss you need to detox.
• Is collagen worth it?
• Estrogen levels from soy.
• Muscle weighs more than fat.
• Fat makes you fat.
• White potatoes are unhealthy.
• You need supplements to lose weight/gain muscle
• In order to lose weight, you need to restrict your calories to a low intake like 1200.
• Cleanses/Juice cleanses.
• Dairy products are unhealthy.
• Spot training.
• Juice is healthy because it has fruit in it.
