Middleish: Episode 98 - Chasing the Perfect Diet - a podcast by Middle-ish

Does the perfect diet exist? Honestly...yes and no. The answer is nuanced (so Middleish of us!)

Fundamentally speaking, there are a key set of nutritional principles that are strongly associated with positive health outcomes. Most diets, even the faddest of the fad diets, tend to embrace these concepts. However, what this looks like for each individual can differ and there is no "perfect" eating pattern for all. Furthermore, consider factors in your life that make an eating pattern sustainable like budget, food availability, time availability, taste preference, cultural considerations, etc. It has been said before and we'll say it again: the perfect diet for you is the one you can stick to and feels good to your body and soul.

We cover the latest nutrition guidelines to get started on your "perfect" diet, plus tried and true eating patterns that embrace flexibility while protecting your health.
