Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE Tonite, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: Denise Minger On "Death By Food Pyramid" And How To Eat A Science-Based Diet
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.

How did so many of us get so fat and unhealthy?

Well, it started when our government advised us to eat a high-carb, low-fat diet -- a diet that actually makes us fat and unhealthy. News reports distorting scientific findings and reporters unable to tell solid science from the shoddy kind are another problem -- leaving most of us pretty confused about what we should be eating.

Tonight, Denise Minger (of "The China Study" debunking fame) changes that. She will lay out the disturbing history of the ruining of America's health. She'll explain simple ways the ordinary person can identify scientific distortions in the media. And she'll detail the nuances of science-based healthy eating (whether you're a vegetarian or a carnivore or something in between).

Minger's meticulous (and very readable) book we'll be discussing is Death By Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Health.

Don't miss last week's show with Dr. Edward Deci on How To Be Self-Motivated And To Best Motivate Others.

Many people seem to think that the most effective motivation comes from outside of us, that motivating is something one person does to or for another. The studies done by my guest tonight, psychologist Dr. Edward L. Deci, find that self-motivation, not external motivation, is at the heart of creativity, responsibility, healthy behavior, and lasting change.

This is essential to understand whether we are trying to motivate ourselves or looking to encourage others to successfully motivate themselves.

On tonight's show, Dr. Deci tells us what research shows about we go wrong in our thinking on motivation and how we can become more self-motivated -- and thus happier and more successful in every aspect of our lives.

Dr. Deci's book is "Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation."
