Ep 422 Food Pyramid Scandal - the 'Worst Crime' ever committed in the US? ft. William Grazione [PART 2]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Coach Chris Wilson is back with nutrition and weight-loss expert William Grazione (The Educated Dieter) to dig even deeper into the real reasons people struggle with fat loss, cravings, and lasting health change.
This episode breaks down why your body craves the wrong foods, how ultra-processed foods hijack blood sugar and appetite, and why most diets fail because they ignore the fundamentals of whole foods, fiber, and consistency.
Chris and William also discuss how fasting can impact the brain and hunger signals, when carbs actually make sense for performance and muscle growth, and why “detox” is often misunderstood. You’ll also hear practical strategies like the “90% trick” for dieting success and simple daily habits that make staying on track feel effortless.
Plus, the conversation wraps with an important discussion on Apple Cider Vinegar, gut health, and how ACV gummies may support appetite control and healthier blood sugar levels.
If you want real nutrition talk without the nonsense — this is the episode.
