The BMI has come under some serious scrutiny in the past couple of years, and maybe it’s for good reason according to practicing Dietician Geraldine Georgiou. Funnily enough, there’s a lot more to you than just body fat, and if it’s body-fat your concerned about, cutting out carbs completely (or really any other whole food group) might not be the answer. Alongside host Dr Sneha Wadhwani, they get to the bottom of what ‘health’ really means, and how your diet can help you achieve your health goals. Particularly for those with health conditions like PCOS or Diabetes. And if tracking your macros has become your top priority, Geraldine has some insight on why you might want to expand your scope.
