Hungry for Change - Netflix Documentary

xSJBx

Hi all!
Just wanted to do a quick message about this documentary on Netflix I found called Hungry for Change. This is a few years old now, but it really did explain weight gain, calories, sugar content and fat content in a clear way.
Well worth a watch!

If you have Netflix, Daredevil is more entertaining and the science behind the origin of his powers is more realistic than the science in Hungry for Change.

Thanks OP, I will have to look into this one.

Whatever you think you learned is probably wrong. I know they promised you "more energy, an ideal body, and beautiful, younger-looking skin," but you can, frankly, learn more in these fora than you will from that b-film mockumentary.

I don't know what is with all the food documentaries. I'm not even sure they are bona fide documentaries, more like the writer/producers pet projects.

MFP has taught me 3 things.

1. Eat more calories than I burn and I will gain weight.

2. Eat my maintenance amount of calories and my weight will stay the same.

3. Eat less than my maintenance calories and I will lose weight.

That's all I need to know.

I was taking nutrition courses at RIT, the same courses students take to become registered dietitians, and I watched Hungry for Change not long after and found the documentary to be interesting. Another fairly decent food documentary is Fed Up on Netflix. I do suggest taking a nutrition course at the local college or university as there are no pre-reqs for the lower level courses that teach all of the basics of nutrition. It was all incredibly eye opening for me. I took Nutrition and I also took Sports Nutrition.

It's a mockumentary and it's wrong.

IKR!

And no, I haven't watched it because I'm not that kind of fiction - which is exactly what 99% of these nutrition "documentaries" are. They're propaganda pieces produced by somebody with an agenda, usually including a lot of junk science and/or cherry-picked study results which suit their hypothesis. I prefer my nutrition information to come from objective, reliable sources.
