Middleish: Episode 61 - Fad Diets - a podcast by Middle-ish

It's no secret that we at Middleish are pretty critical of diet fads and trends...well, diet culture in general, really. And we realized that we haven't really gone into a deeper discussion on fad diets as a pop culture term, what it really means and the current weight loss crazes.  

This episode is informative and entertaining. By highlighting some of the most outlandish fad diets in human history, we illustrate why these eating patterns that are so hot one minute don't stand a chance in the long term. Your health and happiness are at stake when engaging in a fad diet, so listen to this before diving into the next "in" thing.  

Erin Green is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, recovering professional triathlete and owner of Erin Green Racing and Nutrition in Boise, Idaho.

Michael Gray is a personal trainer, nutritional coach, father of two and a sucker for a bag of gummy bears. See what he's up to at www.michaelgrayfitness.com.
