Do we really know what we should be eating? Multi-award winning expert Tim Spector argues we might not. Professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London and honorary consultant physician at Guy’s and St Thomas’ he aims to point us in the right direction so we know the hard truths behind food fads, dieting, nutrition and gut health. Having written five books, including the bestsellers Spoon-Fed and The Diet Myth he is one of the most cited scientists in the world. His research aims to debunk eating myths and answers the most important questions like should we be calorie counting? What should we be eating for our gut health and why do most diets fail?

Great discussion. Read all his books – its been eye opening!
how to lose weight = be in a calorie deficit. end of debate. This Guys overcomplicated nonsense is terrifying, He claims eating proper food is how to diet? yes. because it puts you in a deficit… so calories counting does work? after he claims it doesn't work. scary he's a scientist
I like this but some constructive feedback. Less of the minimal encouragers: yep, uh huh, yes … v distracting !! X
yeah..aha..yeah..aha…yeah…aha…that's very interesting…yeah..aha…yeah..aha…interestiiiing…yeah…aha..yeah…aha…right.
He's a legend!! Loved this so much xx
As someone who watches Diary of a CEO, I feel like I am just seeing a lot of the same guests cycled through here with nothing additional to offer. Maybe that is the point, but it is starting to feel like a bit of a knock off
Oh gosh, please edit out the ‘mhmm’ next time.
This was surprisingly good! I was suspicious it’d be pro-diets but I’m glad to find it wasn’t 🙂
Hi Grace I really enjoy your podcasts. Although I only listen to them here and there. I love the complete diversity of topics and guests, giving me the opportunity to dip my toes in whenever something peaks my interest. It makes me want to learn more! Also thank you for being your imperfect self. Somehow it feels more down to earth that you aren't a super slick interview professional. ❤
Such an interesting discussion!
My twin and I have been in the twin study since birth, it's an incredible study. We love hearing about all the exciting scientific developments, proud to be a tiny part!
I thank almighty GOD that The medications I order from dr imenherbal on YouTube really worked for me without side effects, thank god am cured, good bye to cold sore for ever
Always wary of a scientist that only plugs research that he has done himself, funded through his own business. I'd really love this discussion to be less one-sided. To include some counter-claims or even others who support the same claims. It's like we just have to simply trust his word about the research and science that his organisation has carried out. He raises some interesting points but to simply take it all without question or any discussion points from yourself – I think some nuance is lost and you've missed an opportunity to really pull out some deeper thinking.
Time codes 😩
are you not vegan anymore? that would be so sad
I love Tim Spector’s work, but I cannot continue to watch this. You sound bored with how many passive “mhmm” and “right…” I really wanted to enjoy this podcast but won’t continue to watch your content is this is how you respond to your guests.
I love how u ended by saying im gona have a banana as a snack after he pretty much said snacking is bad 😂
Love the podcast but oof, I found this pretty triggering and difficult to listen to. I think a lot of people will suffer from authority bias listening to this and some of the recommendations like fasting and stopping snacking could be really detrimental to your relationship with food.
Interesting conversation. I would really like to hear a discussion about intermittent fasting and how it might effect a wider range of topics, not just gut health. There are studies that conclude that fasting for 10+ hours may not be beneficial for female hormonal health for example. I get that ”an averidge overweight and sedentary joe” might benefit from it, but this discussion simply left out all the active people who actually enjoy exercise. Allthough yes the topic was about gut health and public health… but maybe it would have been nice to then emphasize that. (:
I hate when podcasts on this stupid split screen thing, it looks so weird because they’re looking at each other but they’re not
I would like to know more about men vs women in these studies, there are very few studies done on women and we are not the same and often skipping breakfast can cause issues with our hormones. I think it's important to specify the difference here
Thanks for bringing such an interesting guest 😊
Such an interesting podcast. Thank you❤
Lu
😊
This has literally blown my mind! So informative, will definitely be sharing this with friends and family
Would love to watch this but cant continue with the uh hm uh hm uh hm 🥱
Grace please can you stop with the “yeah, mmhmm, right” after every sentence? It’s so irritating to listen to.
What if I am hungry first thing in the morning?
