When many people try to lose weight, they choose a specific, cookie-cutter diet that claims to be the one true way to shed pounds. My guest says that approach is bound to backfire, and that there's a better way to lose weight and change your body composition.Alan Aragon is a researcher and educator, a pioneer of evidence-based nutrition, and the author of Flexible Dieting: A Science-Based, Reality-Tested Method for Achieving and Maintaining Your Optimal Physique, Performance & Health. Today on the show, Alan offers an intro to his method of flexible dieting, in which, as long as you stay in a caloric deficit and hit your daily protein target, you can decide on how much fat and carbs to consume according to personal preference. We discuss what to keep in mind as you create your own individualized nutrition plan, including how much protein you need a day, the minimum amount of fat to get in your diet to avoid a decrease in testosterone, and the minimum of carbs to consume to maximize muscle gain. And, because flexible dieting is also about not rigidly sticking with your diet 100% of the time, Alan shares how often you should take a break from your diet to eat what you want.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #475: How to Lose Weight, and Keep It Off ForeverAlan's diet calculatorAoM intro to tracking macrosAoM Article: How I Used the AoM Podcast to Lose 20 Pounds in 3 MonthsAoM Article: Why Carbs Don't Make You FatConnect With Alan AragonAlan's website and research reviewAlan on IGAlan on X

Welcome, Rockstars! Guess what?? Alan Aragon is back! Alan is a nutrition researcher, educator, and author with over 25 years of success in the health field and is highlighting the importance of using evidence based information to help you live your best Rockstar life! After Alan and I catch up as friends, we get right into today's topic talking about the age-old debate of vegan vs. omnivorous diets. Spoiler alert… Alan and I are team omnivore! But don't worry, we discuss why we are team omnivore using critical thinking skills based on what the current research is showing. Alan and I also talk about supplementation and how people who eat any form of diet would benefit from taking certain supplements. We also discuss how there is no way to eat all of the essential vitamins and minerals through a vegan diet so it is imperative to use supplements. As Alan and I wrap up, we leave you with key takeaways to empower your dietary journey. Whether you choose to embrace a vegan lifestyle, opt for an omnivorous diet, or find a balance between the two, the most important thing is to prioritize nutrient-dense, whole foods that support your health and well-being.

In today's episode, nutrition researcher Alan Aragon joins us again, and this time we dive into the complex and often misunderstood world of dietary fats, specifically the controversial topic of seed oils. We specifically address common concerns and arguments around canola oil, olive oil, and the importance of looking beyond isolated nutrients or ingredients and focusing on the overall food matrix and dietary patterns. We speak a bit about how nutrition research and funding actually happens, and some of the common fallacies that come from that knowledge.“There are very few universals in nutrition and health. There are very few things you can state that are very simple and apply in every scenario.”- Alan Aragon“Context and dosage is hard to accept for a lot of people. Our primate brain goes ‘I don't like shades of gray. I wanna know what's good. I wanna know what's bad. I wanna know what to be highly fearful of and what to just stock up on.'”- Alan AragonThis week on Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness:Understanding the history and misconceptions surrounding seed oils, particularly omega-6 fatty acidsWhere the burden of proof lies when making nutrition claimsExploring how nutrition research studies are funded and conductedThe danger of generalizations and the pitfalls of oversimplification and binary thinkingThe role of industry researchContext and dosage when discussing potentially harmful ingredientsConnect with Alan Aragon: Alan Aragon WebsiteAlan Aragon on InstagramAlan Aragon Research ReviewThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

(the period of time women waste being pbsessed with lean) 26:00 - Did you do keto? Did you cut sugar? Did you avoid carbs? go low carbs? - Im sure your wife ate so clean and did a lot of cardio to get that lean and look so much more defined and toned right? Intermittent fasting? A lot of cardio 30:00 more on the scale Alcohol also in the liver yet people gulp down their cocktails and demonize fruit and artificial sugar So here we go – get in your base fruit and veg – I like 800g as a total – Get in your wholegrains, whole food, protein & then you can add in a small % of your fun foods in there That's how you allow yourself to stay on track and not needing to sneak or cheat on things ** taste buds can change __ 42:00 ; DETOXING YOUR TASTEBUDS for a leaner healthier life!! ___ can we train our taste buds to stop craving such highly palatable foods & what would you say to someone who has a sugar addiction ______________________ so I had someone argue with me that starving your body of carbohydrates means that you'll just turn to burning fat instead when I was on the diet it worked but now lost all progress I'm back on carbs let's talk about this 48: substrate use 51: rice study Wait wait wait …. Diabetics eat carbs>? ____________ so do we need to eat foods in a specific order to prevent insulin from making us fat Glucose goddess & glucose spikes There are things we have with oats that also help the BG response aka protein because yeah protein increases glucose but it also triggers this thing called glucagon which helps draw it back in the cell – thus its more transient vs acute --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transformxruby/message
In today's episode, nutrition science researcher and educator Alan Aragon joins us to unpack some nutrition noise and misinformation circulating on social media.We dive into the fear of oats and oatmeal, and explain why it's both unjust and unfounded, the absurdity of demonizing such foods, misconceptions about the dangers of glyphosate in normal food consumption, and the importance of embracing a gray-scale view of nutrition and health. We touch on The Dirty Dozen, what Flexible Dieting really means and how it's confused, and we discuss in depth how much protein can the body actually use and digest.“You really do have to consume an unrealistic amount in order to breach these upper safe thresholds that are established by various health and regulatory agencies. People are blowing things out of proportion in their minds.”- Alan Aragon “Food technology is not always this bad thing that takes whole, unrefined foods and transforms them into this food-like ultra-processed refined substance that negatively impacts health and body composition.”- Alan AragonThis week on Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness:· Why the fear of oatmeal is unfounded· The hyperbole of demonizing foods like oats and spinach· The questionable nature of the yearly Dirty Dozen· Is glyphosate unsafe?· What is flexible dieting?· How food tracking and awareness can serve as tools for nutritional autonomy· How flexible dieting is not synonymous with macro counting or calorie tracking· How much protein can the body use and digest?· Are protein powders okay to consume?Connect with Alan Aragon:· Alan Aragon Website· Alan Aragon on Instagram· Alan Aragon Research ReviewThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Alan Aragon, a nutrition researcher and educator with over 30 years of success in the field. He is known as one of the most influential figures in the fitness industry's movement toward evidence-based information. His notable clients include Stone Cold Steve Austin, Derek Fisher, and Pete Sampras."If there's enough total calories in the diet, enough total carbs in the diet, and of course enough protein in the diet, then the shifting around and the positioning of carbohydrate is best left to pretty much individual preference as far as positioning it for maximizing muscle hypertrophy." - Alan AragonLinks for this episodeNutritional Peak Week and Competition Day Strategies of Competitive Natural BodybuildersEffect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey proteinThe Effects of Creatine Supplementation Combined with Resistance Training on Regional Measures of Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review with Meta-AnalysisArtificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiotaHigh-dose saccharin supplementation does not induce gut microbiota changes or glucose intolerance in healthy humans and miceEpisode Overview:00:07:17 - Carb timing for muscle growth, Carb timing is less important than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. 00:13:59 - Ketogenic diet for muscle growth, While Ketogenic dieting works for many, it's not the optimal tool for maximizing muscle mass and retention. According to elite-level natural bodybuilders, an average of 2 grams of carbohydrate per pound of body weight during prep can help maximize muscle retention while losing fat. 00:15:43 - Carb timing and lifting capacity, Carb timing has less importance than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. However, some literature suggests that lifting capacity is compromised when carbohydrates are not consumed, regardless of timing.00:16:21 - The Effects of Fasted Lifting on Performance, Lifting fasted can compromise performance, so it's recommended to have a mixed macronutrient meal with some level of carbohydrate within one to two hours prior to the lifting session.00:17:40 - The Anabolic Window, The idea that quickly absorbing protein and carbohydrates post-workout maximizes muscle protein synthesis has been debunked. Constant dosing of protein, carbohydrates, and fats throughout the day negates the need to hyper-focus on the immediate post-exercise period.00:22:17 - The Role of Carbohydrates in Maximizing Muscle Protein Synthesis, A study showed that when you have enough protein, you don't need to add carbohydrates to it to maximize muscle protein synthesis. The optimal dose for protein is between 0.4 to 0.6g/kg of body weight, which appears to maximize the short-term anabolic effect or maximize the muscle protein synthesis response.00:26:47 - The Benefits of Flexible Thinking, Training fasted vs fed depends on the goal and the population. While fasted training can lead to stronger anabolic signaling, compromising performance is a possibility. The best approach is to train when you can train, and when you can't, you can make it up later.00:32:58 - Fasting and Fat Loss, There's no net difference over a 24-hour period between training fasted and fed when it comes to fat loss.00:34:17 - Fasted vs. Fed Cardio, A study was conducted on untrained women comparing the effects of fasted and fed cardio on body composition, which revealed no significant differences in muscle preservation or fat loss between the two groups. 00:40:04 - Creatine Meta-Analysis, A meta-analysis was conducted on the effects of creatine on muscle hypertrophy and revealed a disappointing increase in muscle thickness among untrained subjects. However, the analysis showed a substantial increase in strength gains across multiple studies, even in highly trained subjects. 00:48:15 - Creatine Non-Responders, Creatine non-responders constitute about 20-30% of individuals who poorly respond to creatine due to various reasons, including high initial levels of muscle creatine saturation and differences in fiber type distribution across individuals. However, the majority of people who use creatine can expect to gain lean mass and strength. 00:52:09 - Benefits of Creatine, Creatine offers multifaceted benefits ranging from neurological health to musculoskeletal health and metabolic benefits. It can improve cognition, bone and joint health, and glycemic control.00:53:39 - The Benefits of Creatine, Creatine has been shown to help with cognitive function, joint health, lean tissue function, and even increase bone density. It's a conditionally essential compound that can be obtained through diet or supplementation. 00:56:10 - Seed Oils and Gestational Diabetes, There is speculation that Creatine could help manage gestational diabetes due to its ability to increase insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. Seed oils have been talked about as a monolithic species, but they should be considered on a case-by-case basis. 01:03:15 - Evidence-Based Nutrition, It's important to look at the evidence when it comes to nutrition and not just blindly follow internet fairy tales or appeal to nature fallacies. Vegetable oils have consistently shown better health outcomes compared to saturated fats. 01:06:20 - Appeal to Nature Fallacy, Just because something is natural or organic doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you (e.g. cancer). While there are benefits to going natural when possible, technology can enhance human quality of life in multiple domains, including food technology. 01:11:39 - Non-Nutritive Sweeteners, There are different categories of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as sucralose and saccharines. 01:12:07 - Artificial Sweeteners and Health Concerns, Artificial sweeteners are relatively harmless, and the doses necessary to achieve what they achieve are negligible. Stevia, for instance, has an array of potential therapeutic effects, whereas Saccharin has been shown to cause unfavorable changes in gut microbiome.01:19:01 - Reverse Causation and Disease Processes, Large-scale population studies that investigate the association between artificial sweeteners and heart disease, diabetes, or obesity are poorly controlled. It is much more likely that the opposite is true, with the state of having these diseases driving the consumption of artificial sweeteners to a greater degree. 01:21:08 - Convergence of Evidence, When both controlled interventions (randomized controlled trials) and observational studies (epidemiology) converge, we can confidently conclude that artificial sweeteners cause disease processes at the intermediate level and lead to actual disease endpoints. 01:23:40 - Personal Opinion, While Alan advocates for drinking plain water, he believes that consuming artificial sweeteners is a reasonable trade-off if it helps individuals reduce their sugar intake.We'd like to thank our sponsors:Become the best version of yourself and get 15% off Ned products by going to helloned.com/BETTER or enter code BETTER at checkout.Athletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty Body

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini Podcast, I speak with the great, Alan Aragon, about the science of nutrition. Alan goes into detail explaining how much protein, fiber, and carbohydrates you need. He dispells some of the most common nutrition myths. And he outlines everything you need to know to incorporate healthy nutrition habits into your life. You can follow Alan's Instagram account: @thealanaragon. I hope you enjoy the episode and, if you do, please leave a review on iTunes (huge thank you to everyone who has written one so far).

In this installment of the Best of Muscle For Life, you'll hear hand-picked clips from three popular MFL episodes: an interview with Alan Aragon on the science of healthy eating, a monologue on fish oil supplementation, and a motivational episode on what it really takes to be tough. Some people—my favorite people—listen to most or even all of my podcasts, but my wizbang analytics tell me that while many listeners tune in on a regular basis, they don't catch every installment of Muscle for Life and thus miss out on insights that could help them do at least a little better inside and outside the gym.
