The Real Skinny on Fat

Hey all, my stepmom (who I haven’t seen since I started losing weight) just sent me a message recommending a documentary called “The Real Skinny on Fat.” I assume it’s this: http://www.therealskinnyonfat.com/optin/. Have any of you more science-types heard anything good, bad, or ugly about this? It’s setting off my woo radars but I’d like to be prepared in case she tries to bring this up again.
Also, one of the experts is a “Bone Broth Expert, Weight-Loss & Natural Anti-Aging Transformation Specialist and Author.” Sigh.

Probably not as I'd rather pull my fingernails out with needle nose pliers than give them my email and sit through whatever garbage that's been vomited up this time.10 -
Bone broth, hey? I remember the days when that used to be called soup.21

I am a Ben & Jerry's expert, weight loss and natural anti aging specialist too. I don't even dye my hair.
^^ I just wrote that, so I'm an internet published author. I can't be bothered with all those CAPTIAL LETTERS, tho.7 -
How can someone be a bone broth expert? what do they do, run samples through an HPLC, gas chromatography, mass spec, etc etc?2

From what I can tell, it's the same keto propaganda slant on anti-USDA, anti-Ancel Keys, and anti-grains in the promotion of eating saturated fat and not being ashamed/afraid to eat it.
It also serves as a platform to push for products that aid in "getting into ketosis" or "keto friendly" food stuff.
Word to the wise: any documentary that has been made will never have an objective view of any given topic. They have an agenda to persuade the audience to fall in line with their motives. Vegans do this by pushing the moral value on animal rights, agriculture, sanitary procedure, etc.
If you've heard everything under the sun about ketogenic diets, you don't need to watch this. Actually, look to science instead that at least attempts to remain objective in its analysis of ketogenic dieting.

I've been making stock from leftover turkey bones so I guess that makes me a bone broth expert too!6

They also have a 'health optimization coach' as one of their experts.0

I'm at work and the link is blocked, is it too long for a good samaritan to copy/paste here?1

You've got me beat. I have yet to try. I do love bone broth (for me it's like hot tea with protein, ha!).1 -

I didnt see any of the usual keto advocates among the list at the bottom of the page.
I saw one primal guy, and one fasting guy that I recognized.
But who knows.0 -
Why do the trailers always start with intense symphonic music and a bird's eye shot of a beautiful landscape? Is Woo-dy Allen directing all the health docs?4

"Bone broth expert" is cracking me up, I'm sorry.2

I take any and all documentaries with a huge grain of salt, whatever the topic. I've never once watched a documentary that was actually objective. All documentaries are pushing one idea or another and cherry pick science or other data that best serves their bias. Most have just enough fact behind them to get people to put the blinders on to the other bull *kitten*.6

A huge grain of salt is a good addition to a pot of bone broth.8 -

I googled that phrase and got "Dr. Kellyann, a regular on The Doctors and Dr. Oz," which of course does not bode well.5 -
I really am curious how stock got rebranded as bone broth. I'm a big fan of homemade stock, but the woo surrounding it is out of control.7

Yeah, pretty much tells us everything we need to know right there.2 -

Yep. The wife and I burst out laughing first time we heard about it. Our mothers and their mothers made stock all the time.
The annoying thing is they decided to call it bone broth, when “taking stock” has a much better ring to it.4 -

So maybe the real wizardry and magick involves doing a keto IF diet consuming only bone broth (and a bit of ACV, of course) while doing HIIT.

It's different, I swear. At least $4 to $5 per quart different!4
