What’s Wrong with Nutrition Today: An In-Depth Look with Alan Aragon
In the world of diet and nutrition, confusion and misinformation seem to be the norm. From fad diets to conflicting studies, it’s easy to feel lost when determining what’s healthy. Thomas DeLauer, a well-known fitness and nutrition expert, has teamed up with Alan Aragon, a nutrition researcher, to explore what’s wrong with nutrition today and how we can move towards a more balanced and informed approach.
Alan’s Background
Alan Aragon is a nutrition researcher with over 20 years of experience in the field. He founded the Alan Aragon Research Review (AARR), an evidence-based monthly publication that summarizes the latest research in sports nutrition.
The Problem with Nutrition Today
One of the biggest problems with nutrition today is the tribalism that seems to be inherent in the industry. People often cling to one diet or way of eating and demonize any other approach. This creates unnecessary confusion and conflict, making it difficult for people to find reliable information about what they should eat.
Calories in vs. Calories Out & Hormones
Another nutrition issue today is oversimplifying the “calories in vs. calories out” model. While it’s true that weight loss ultimately comes down to a calorie deficit, it’s essential to understand that hormones also play a significant role in how our bodies process and use food. Simply focusing on calories without considering hormones could lead to further confusion and frustration.
Diet Groups Can Learn From Each Other
Despite the conflicts between different diet groups, there is a lot that they can learn from each other. For example, those who follow a vegan or plant-based diet can benefit from animal products’ protein and nutrient density. In contrast, those who follow a low-carb or keto approach can benefit from the fiber and phytonutrients found in plant foods.
Individualize the Approach to Dieting
Individualizing the approach is one of the most important keys to success with any diet. What works for one person may not work for another, and it’s essential to understand and respect these differences. By taking a personalized approach to nutrition, people can achieve their health and fitness goals without feeling overwhelmed or confused.
Keys to Success for Fasting
Intermittent fasting has become a popular approach to nutrition in recent years, and there are a few keys to success that people should keep in mind. These include finding the proper fasting protocol for your body and lifestyle, prioritizing nutrient-dense whole foods during eating windows, and staying hydrated throughout the day.
The Danger of Overgeneralizing Nutrition & Tribalism
One of the biggest dangers in the nutrition industry is the tendency to overgeneralize information and create strict “rules” about what people should and shouldn’t eat. This can lead to disordered eating habits and limit people’s ability to make informed choices about their health. Additionally, tribalism and conflict between different diet groups can add to the confusion and misinformation.
