Ep. 33 - Vegetarian, Vegan Diets, Alcohol and the Biggest Nutrition Myths w/ Martin MacDonald

On today’s episode of RNT, we chat with Martin MacDonald, comedian, social media guru and nutrition consultant. He talks about the importance of evidence-based nutrition information and how crucial is that people admit when they’re wrong. Covering the risks that come up with veganism, the problem of following crazes and how important social media is in advertising, he covers it all.

“Scientific literature shows that aggressive dieting leads to lower feelings of hunger than moderate deficits.”
