For A Whole New Level, Eric Edmeades, author of “Postdiabetic,” explains the diet industry's falsehoods.
Myth: Diet is about calories-in-calories out.
Fact: Weight management and nutrition are not about simple math equations. In reality, complex processes are at play with insulin, incretin hormones, adipokines, and more.
Myth: For better health, you need to eat less.
Fact: In many cases, even with a surplus of calories consumed, people can be malnourished because they are missing key nutrients. This can happen because of the consumption of ultra-processed foods. Ultimately, the types of calories consumed matter more than the number.
Myth: You can outrun your calories.
Fact: Exercise is a great tool for managing metabolic health, but it does not make up for a lack of nutrient-dense foods and overconsumption of ultra-processed foods.
Myth: If you break your “diet,” you’ve cheated.
Fact: A lifestyle geared toward improving metabolic health is sustainable, nonrestrictive, and encourages the ethos of “food is medicine.” It should not foster guilt and shame around food.
