The ProFast Diet Secrets | Dr Brian Mowll

Author: Marty Kendall July 29, 2021 Duration: 1:10:14

It was so much fun to talk to Dr Brian Mowll (The Diabetes Coach) about the topics in his The ProFast Diet Book, including:

  • What are the biggest misconceptions around protein and diabetes management?
  • Do people need to be concerned about ‘too much protein’?
  • What are the most important foods to prioritise?
  • Who should use the moderate, accelerated vs aggressive weight loss approaches?
  • How do you know how long to fast?  How long is too long?
  • When is rapid weight loss ideal (rather than slow and steady)?
  • Why is reducing dietary fat important to control blood glucose?
  • What are the most important markers to track on your journey?
  • Why does nutrient density become even more important during weight loss?
  • What are the pros and cons of supplements vs whole food during weight loss?
  • What are the most common symptoms/side effects that people should be prepared for during rapid loss?

Marty Kendall hosts the Optimising Nutrition Podcast, cutting through the noise of diet trends and dogma. Here, nutrition isn't about following a rigid belief system or the latest branded plan; it's fundamentally about ensuring your body gets the nutrients it needs to thrive. Marty applies a clear-eyed, engineering mindset to the complex world of food, breaking down the science into actionable strategies. In each episode, you'll hear detailed conversations with researchers, doctors, and other experts diving deep into the mechanics of weight loss, the practicalities of fasting, and the core principles of effective nutrition. These interviews are balanced with candid stories from real people who share their personal journeys, offering relatable insights into what works and what doesn't outside the lab. This podcast serves as a grounded resource for anyone tired of conflicting advice and looking for a substantive, evidence-based path to better health. It’s a space where data meets human experience, all focused on the tangible goal of optimisation. You can expect every discussion to return to that central, uncomplicated idea: strip away the labels, and focus on nourishment.
