This week on Spawned with Kristen and Liz we’re tackling diets. More specifically, some of the hot diet trends right now (or, ahem, culinary lifestyle choices or whatever they’re being called that’s not “diet”) to discuss the pros, the cons, the differences, and figure out which ones might be good for us — and you!

You know, now that we’re heading from “steal your kids’ Reese’s” night right into “three helpings of stuffing” season.

As a diet optimist (Kristen) and a diet skeptic (Liz), well we think you’ll enjoy this closer look at:

Bright Line Eating

Mark Bittman’s VB6

Intermittent Fasting

Ketogenics

Whole30

So take a listen right now and let us know if you agree with our picks for what sounds sensible, and what sounds totally insane.

And don’t forget to subscribe Spawned with Kristen + Liz on iTunes, Stitcher, or your favorite podcasting app, and save the episode so you can listen offline as well. Thanks so much for joining us!

 

This Week’s Sponsor: Learn with Homer

How to get kids excited about reading: Homer is an amazing, affordable subscription backed by tons of educational research | sponsor

Homer is the excellent learn to read app for kids that we have recommended for years on Cool Mom Tech, because it’s such an effective way to help kids 2 to 8 learn to read by tapping into their own interests to motivate them.

They’ve built custom reading pathways around your own child’s interests, with personalized lessons and activities to get them even more excited to read every day. A recent study conducted by the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education concluded that just 15 minutes a day with Homer can increase early reading scores by 74%. So it’s not only fun, it’s incredibly effective.
