Low-Carb Versus High-Carb Diets for Weight Loss | Christopher Gardner, PhD

Listen Now

In Episode #145, I sat down with Professor Christopher Gardner from Stanford University to chat about his research on low- versus high-carb diets for weight loss. If you’re confused about carbohydrates, fat, and how to manage your body weight, then I am certain you will enjoy this episode. Dr Gardner is one of the most respected nutrition scientists in the world.  

In this episode, Dr Gardner shares fascinating insights into his research, including the A to Z study and the DIETFITS study. We also talked about why diet quality is important, why average weight loss in studies doesn’t show the full story, the carbohydrate-insulin model, and what we do and don’t know about diet and weight loss.
