On today’s show, Dr. Lisle and Dr. Howk will answer the following questions: 1. Imagine a 20-year-old male. Every day, he plays video games, eats Twinkies, drinks Mountain Dew, binge watches Netflix, mindlessly scrolls through Social Media, and watches . What are the long-term and short-term effects of all this supernormal stimuli? 2.I feel like I’m stuck in a diet mindset where my internal audience won’t recognize any of my efforts unless I’m 100% compliant all of the time.   Considering all the crap other people eat, I feel like I should be able to have one meal a week that’s not 100% wfpb and still be fine and not feel all this guilt? 3. I understand your view on how to handle questions about “why do eat that way” etc however i am wondering about what to say when people say things like “Oh i really need to do something about my weight so i have just started eating low carb high fat”. Or ” i have diabetes so i can’t eat pasta or potatoes.” Lately my respone has been to smile and say nothing however i am left feeling frustrated that there is so much that i could contribute to the conversation but i just hold back. What is the best approach when people say or do things that either simple wrong or not the best solution, particularily when you care about the person and want to be helpful? 4. I am impressed with the data behind a whole foods plant based diet but felt this wasn’t something I could stick with long term. I’ve read in the pleasure trap strategies for telling others to buzz off, but still didn’t like the social implications of being a young male vegan. Long term concerns for being on this diet? Would you recommend it for anyone?
