Josh Ayer: 我认为健康和营养比人们想象的要容易得多,很多人试图混淆你的判断,因为他们可能想卖你东西。我们讨论了多种时尚饮食,并分析了它们的利弊。我也指出,即使是看似荒谬的饮食方式,往往也包含着某些真理的成分,比如咀嚼食物更多可能更好。 Nicole Inaidi: 我尝试过几乎所有的时尚饮食,它们似乎更适合女性。我认为地中海饮食是经受住了时间考验的时尚饮食之一。我也强调了坚持饮食习惯的重要性,并将其作为一种生活方式,而不是短暂的尝试。此外,我认为我们有这么多与饮食相关的问题,是因为我们把食物做得太好吃了,而且太丰富了。 Liam Fisher-Layton: 我认为研究时尚饮食很有趣,但没有人应该尝试它们,因为它们很糟糕。我强调了均衡饮食的重要性,并推荐大家多吃水果和蔬菜。我也设计了一种新的时尚饮食,叫做大猩猩饮食,它的想法是,如果你像大猩猩一样吃东西,你就会看起来像大猩猩。此外,我还对世界上最糟糕的饮食进行了评分,并推荐均衡饮食。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the history of fad diets, starting from the 1800s with Fletcherism and the Graham diet, moving through the mid-1950s reducing salons and the grapefruit diet, and ending with modern equivalents like the plate fit classes. The discussion highlights the common threads and the often-absurd methods while acknowledging some underlying truths.
  • Fletcherism (chewing food 85 times), Graham diet (bland diet, no animal products or spices), reducing/slenderizing salons, grapefruit diet, plate fit classes
  • Many fad diets have a kernel of truth (e.g., chewing food thoroughly), but are taken to extremes.
  • The combination of fat and sugar makes food hyper-palatable and contributes to overconsumption.

Shownotes Transcript
