Are low-carb diets truly the most expensive and nutritionally unbalanced options out there?
Prepare to have these common myths busted as we welcome Dr Caryn Zinn., an Associate Professor at Auckland University of Technology and a dedicated advocate for low-carb and keto nutrition and your host Nicole Moore.
Dr Zinn takes us through her transformative journey from initial scepticism to becoming a vocal supporter of these dietary principles, especially in managing type 2 diabetes.
With collaborations alongside experts like Dr Caryn and connections with influential figures such as Professor Tim Noakes, Dr Zinn brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our discussion.
Together, we tackle the myth that low-carb diets are prohibitively expensive, revealing that the real cost difference is minimal when you factor in the reduction of health-related expenses and the elimination of costly processed foods.
Dr Zinn shares practical tips and real-life examples, such as a GP clinic in South Auckland successfully implementing low-carb diets in low socioeconomic Maori and Pacific Island communities.
We also debunk the misconception that low-carb cannot meet nutritional needs, demonstrating how a well-planned diet can provide balanced nutrition.
Discover how incorporating a variety of foods and mindful nutrient tracking can lead to a nutritionally robust low-carb lifestyle.
Tune in to challenge what you think you know about low-carb and keto diets!
