Fat is making a pretty major comeback of sorts over the past couple of years as more and more people are finally realizing we’ve been sold a big fat lie about how harmful it is to our health. And for a respected PhD public health academic for the past two decades hailing from Auckland, New Zealand known as “The Fat Professor,” the time is now to take this message to the masses in a big way. His name is Professor Grant Schofield from ProfGrant.com and he has authored a brand new whimsically-titled book on this subject entitled What the Fat?: Fat’s IN: Sugar’s OUT Practical guide and recipes (learn more about it at WhatTheFatBook.com).
Listen in as Jimmy and Grant talk about how the subtitle of Cholesterol Clarity inspired the title of his book, why he never intended to get involved in nutritional health, how he used to believe that health was all about exercise, why he believes the calories in/calories out hypothesis is “ridiculous,” how exercise performance is enhanced on a low-carb, high-fat diet, how Professor Tim Noakes in South Africa has been such an inspiration, the cognitive dissonance he and others in the exercise world had about nutrition, the sketchy world of nutritional health research, the health star rating system being used in Australia and New Zealand (demonizing butter still while pushing flavored milk as healthy), how the latest New Zealand Dietary Guidelines specifically target low-carb, Paleo, and intermittent fasting as being too dangerous for people to do, why it’s a no-brainer to remove carbohydrates as part of a healthy diet for diabetes and obesity, whether the fight to make change happen is worth it, the healthy living principles that should go along with LCHF, why we need to let kids get back to being kids again with play, how even adults forget about the importance of playing, and the importance of people doing more N=1 experiments to progress the message forward. This is a critically important interview you’ll want to listen to and share.

Really interesting Podcast but am I the only one who had trouble understanding Professor Grant Schofield? I will buy his book to get all the info 🙂
Was it the audio or his accent? Maybe I’ve spoken to him so much I understand completely now. 😀
