Excellent interview Rachel; Naiman takes the “crazy” out of nutrition and offers a smart, effective and pragmatic approach towards getting lean and healthy. Love his work, thanks for having him on your channel

[itamaravraham]

Ted is a great guy. Humble, knowledgeable, down to earth and great at explaining things in a simple and clear way

[hockeymomavalon]

I've been listening to Ted naiman for years I visit his PE calculator almost daily and I have to tell you this is absolutely the best interview with him! You guys go over more of the" how-to" than the "why" and that is really what makes it easy for us to follow I want to thank you so much for this interview!

[Sauberkeit]

Genius!!! Thank you for this great interview!

[gmo]

Ted is great. I am with him and he is my chosen doc/guru for fat loss and better health. I respect his background. Smart individual and also easy to understand. i.e. great teacher.

[alinaghazarians]

Can't tell you how much I loved this interview. Dr. Naiman is a genius. Thank you for doing this interview ❤

[maryvanderplas]

I really enjoyed this. I especially like what Dr. Naiman said about PSMF and how he no longer believes this is a good tool to use for fat loss. I agree that it encourages an unhealthy mindset around food and that a much better and more sustainable approach is a modest and gradual increase in protein percentage which can be comfortably practiced over time until the goal is achieved.

[TopgunB]

Excellent thank you. As a keto zealot with recent doubts this has answered all my questions. Makes so much sense. Thank you! Also taken away my guilt feelings away from sweeteners!

[carlasmith]

Great interview and one of the best Ted interviews that I have watched and I've watched many and read his book. He's amazing!

[barkeater]

Ted is revolutionizing

nutrition understanding

[johnsavage]

Ted is outstanding he goes back to basic principles and makes more sense than everyone else. His book is excellent and the PE diet is the missing answer to good 👍 health and longivity..

[JoyJJ]

I found your channel searching Dr Ted Naiman. I love his philosophy & follow PE:DIET along with IF. I just subscribed & going to binge watch your videos. Great information & interview.

[_einodmilvado]

So thankful for this discussion. And Dr. Ted Naiman! Thank you

[kristivice]

This is the first time that I am watching Rachel, and this is the best Ted Naiman interview that I’ve seen. I just recently started focusing on protein. I am learning a lot!

[benitaenzor]

I’m happy to see that you have changed your tune about the insulin hypothesis. Higher protein lower fat allows you to eat more carbs even more than100g while staying lean.

[selah]

I love him every day more thank you ❤️

[gregoryburne]

Im about 50 odd grams of carbs via cruciferous veg with high protein and moderate fat. 2 meals per day. I was keto but this resonates with me much better. I dont overeat now.

[belindaray]

Absolutely loved this interview. It all makes so much more sense now.. Thank you so much. I will definitely be listening to this again.
