Over the last few months, I've had a lot of people ask me about Liv Schmidt and her nutrition advice. As an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, ACE Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and someone currently completing Precision Nutrition's Level 1 certification, I wanted to take look at her advice and evaluate some of her most popular claims through the lens of evidence based nutrition coaching.
In this video, we talk about "Taste Everything. Eat Nothing," hunger cues, portion control, GLP-1 medications, and what it really means to build a healthy relationship with food. Along the way, I'll also point out where I actually agree with Liv and where I think more context is needed. I was quite shocked that there were moments I agreed with however, in my opinion, there are also some very dangerous behaviors being promoted by her.
My goal isn't to tell you what to think. It's to give you a framework for thinking critically about nutrition advice you see online.
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. What nutrition creator or trend should we take a look at next?
