212: Gillian Bennett: The Real Reason European Food Culture is So Healthy

Gillian Bennett (@bitesizenutri) is a nutrition coach and mentor, and host of the Bite Size Nutrition Podcast. Her mission is to help you live a full life without obsessing over food. Originally from the US but now living in Spain, coupled with her own experiences with fitness, health and weight loss she has a unique perspective that she brings to her coaching practice.

“I went to Europe and ate everything I wanted and still somehow lost weight!”. Heard that before? Why does that happen? Is it the “food quality” or is there something more. Food is so much more than calories and micronutrients. And ALL of the stuff matters. We discuss this and how you can implement the practices proven to help you improve your diet.

That being said, the calories and micronutrients and the “data” all still matters. Gillian and I discuss strategies and tools to implement these things in a smart way, and how to gradually move away from meticulous tracking, or how to implement it in the simplest way.

This was a very enjoyable conversation about food culture and how to improve our diet based on lifestyle principles. To learn more from Gillian, be sure to follow her on IG and check out her podcast and website (https://bitesize.es/)
