The fact Peter thinks Pringles come in a bag says everything about how healthy he is 😅

Dr. Attia is by far the best and most nuanced physician who actually looks at research and how applicable it is to most people without fear mongering in the grocery store without a shirt

Question: Are processed foods bad?

Every popular influencer: Not if it is my jerky, AG1, or the brain health pill I sell!

It's so frustrating to see everybody turn to selling products. We have no way of trusting them anymore.

All I know is I went to a whole food, largely meat based, diet at the start of the year and I feel great. I lost 20 pounds, and I wasn't obese. I had been stuck at a certain weight for a LONG time and nothing I did seemed to touch it. Until I cut out processed foods, and the main thing I avoid like the plague is sugar.

I ate a whole dominos pizza last night. Was that bad?

Peter looking up a few times at the birds flying overhead at 3:43 really sells the Wild West environment. Maybe add the sound of the creek flowing in the back ground that’s powering the water mill and you’ll be golden. 👍🏼

These guys just keep inviting each other to each other's podcasts over and over again

It is depressing when you know what a fruit or veggie should taste like, and then you go grab some non organic stuff and it has like no flavor. It tastes like a fake version of what it should be in nature. We are pretty dumb to screw that up by taking it away through growing methods that will cause that. I wouldn't think it's a good idea to sell fruit that looks normal but tastes like butt, but here we are.

Hey Chris, good episode as always. One thing, the background is very disruptive, in a bad way, like it make no sense it disrupts me from the experience

[odoylerules]

I eat processed foods because im too weak to delete myself in a quicker manner.

[wickedmastermind]

Quick question, is there a more processed food item than whey protein powder? Just wondering why people are so focussed on the word "processed"?

[danielleal]

On the topic of possible problems with keeping junk food at home, keto has killed all of my cravings for it. I can look at Pringles as if they were a brick or a bucket full of rusty nails.

Attia talks a lot, but says very little.

What s gonna be next level Chris? U and your interview partner using historical clothing ? Next podcast pls come in on a horse while boy's choir sings...

[TitusVI]

do foods that my body has procesed also count as processed foods?

[willjack]

Peter Attia… talks in riddles.

How was your journey today

“Well, journey is a misunderstood word… the literature says ‘journey’, is travel that takes in at least 1000 miles, covers 3 different modes of transport and takes in at least 2 different types of landscape, so I find the word to be misleading’.

Mate, I don’t even care I was just being polite about you getting to the studio.

“I struggle with the word ‘polite’….”

[Ken]

Please have Robert Lustig talk about this on the podcast.

Attia misses the point here saying "Who's eating Kellogs cereal for breakfast?" after just making his point about America eating highly processed foods as a practice. You know that it's common, especially at the lowest income rung, so why not attempt to make these items a little less toxic? Feeding your kids venison feels like the ivory tower of nutrition here.

Feeling slightly bad that I’m eating a Curlywurly whilst watching this!
