Nutritionists - I hate some of them

Over in the UK we have a popular quiz called pointless.

On today’s episode was a nutritionist, asked by the presenter why he was one He started out well by saying he was looking for a more whole body approach to people’s issues, yep, that sounds good.

Then asked what his plan was and called 80-20, I started to think LCHF, alas no.

the plan was 80% - a balanced diet and 20% eat what you like, my god, this guy was trained and basically suggests a standard diet.

Now we are seeing more people train in nutrition which is more ‘natural’ etc but the lack of knowledge is shocking …

I had an argument online with a pseudo-nutritionist the other day, a believer in a calorie is a calorie. I asked if their kid was allowed to have cake and ice cream for breakfast, no, then you intuitively know that a calorie is not a calorie. Why don’t you let them? It’s all sugar, it will rot their teeth and they’ll be hyper as hell. So you are saying that some of the things we eat have a different effect on our body aside from just how many calories are in it?

yep all that and his reply ?? in theory you can ice-cream for breakfast and lunch calories count and be within your limits …

so why don’t we ?

Because everyone as you say knows it is wrong, real argument !
