Ep 35 with Dr Trudi Deakin

Why the low-fat diet has “done a lot of damage.”

Dr Trudi Deakin is a registered dietitian, and chief executive of the charity X-PERT Health, who specialises in training healthcare professionals to prevent and manage Type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.

I caught up with her at the Public Health Collaboration Annual Conference 2019 in central London, where she was one of the key speakers addressing an audience of health professionals and patients who want to see changes made to conventional NHS eating guidelines.

In this episode, you’ll hear Trudi’s views on:

🔹The best way to lose excess fat for health gains (and it isn’t calorie counting)
🔹Why eating less and exercising more doesn’t work for everyone
🔹Symptoms that could mean you have metabolic syndrome
🔹Why eating good fats can help you lose fat
🔹Which fats to steer clear of
🔹The best fats to cook with
🔹Why carbohydrates aren't essential nutrients
🔹How Trudi would update the NHS healthy eating guidelines
🔹The reason it’s not your fault when your weight-loss plateaus
🔹How the frequency of your meals is key for weight-loss
🔹How sleepless nights and stress can ruin the effects of your low-carb diet
🔹Why angry discourse in the nutrition community is a waste of energy
