Unconventional Wisdom from Dietitian Cassie

Well Beyond 40 - A podcast by JJ Virgin

Two of the greatest dieting myths are that eating too many calories or too much fat is what leads to weight gain. Today's guest, Cassie Bjork (a.k.a. "Dietitian Cassie"), has been down the low-fat, low-calorie road. She ended up with a terrible sugar addiction and a conviction that what she learned in dietitian school was all wrong. Since then, she's made it her business to spread the word that long cardio and low-fat eating are the fastest ways to feel hungry, fatigued, and stressed. Listen in as she explains how to avoid the inflammation and weight gain that come from old-school dieting and what to do instead.
