The Dangers of Dieting feat. Elaina Efird

We're back starting off the new. year with a bang! Today we are joined with Elaina Efird, a fellow RD, who has within the last few years taken to Instagram and TikTok to fight off the nutrition BS on social media. Elaina has an extensive background of working with chronic dieters at her job at the Kahm Clinic, where she measures the metabolic damage to those who cycle through restrictive eating patterns.  We discuss BMR, what happens metabolically when someone is on and off fad diets, and transition to a conversation about her social media content.
