Mikki and Jess tackle some of the most common food narratives—bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and the health halos (or villain labels) attached to them. They explore how simple foods like potatoes and rice can actually support health and satiety, especially when prepared in ways that boost resistant starch. Along the way, they dive into protein as a cornerstone nutrient, the importance of micronutrients, and why demonising certain carbs often backfires. With practical tips, relatable stories, and even a kettlebell analogy thrown in, this episode helps reframe your relationship with everyday foods so you can eat with more freedom, satisfaction, and confidence.
Highlights:
- Why potatoes get a bad rap while sweet potatoes get a halo
- The science of resistant starch (and how to boost it in potatoes, rice, and oats)
- Protein as the ultimate food anchor for satiety and strength
- Rethinking food rules and “apologising” for eating carbs
- Simple, balanced meal ideas that satisfy and sustain
