Ep 204: The Dirty 13 — 13 Foods Men Over 40 Should Stop Eating

If you’re a man in your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond and you’re trying to lose belly fat, build muscle, support healthy testosterone, improve metabolic health and stay strong for life, what you STOP eating can matter just as much as what you start eating.In this episode of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast, Funk Roberts breaks down what he calls The Dirty 13™ — 13 categories of foods he recommends men over 40 remove or dramatically reduce as they build a healthier nutrition lifestyle.This isn’t about pretending one donut or one bad meal suddenly destroys your testosterone. The bigger issue is the metabolic environment your diet creates over time.A diet dominated by excess calories and highly processed foods can contribute to increased visceral fat, poorer insulin sensitivity, inflammation and worse metabolic health — all factors that can work against your body-composition, health and hormone goals.Funk also explains why knowing what to eat isn't enough.In Episode 202, we talked about one of the biggest problems men face with nutrition: consistency. You can know exactly what you should eat, but can you stick with it when you're busy, stressed, travelling, eating at restaurants, attending social events or surrounded by foods that don't support your goals?That's why Funk created his Meta Test Boost Nutrition Lifestyle and the GREEN LIST of proteins, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, vegetables, fruits and nutrient-dense whole foods that form the foundation of his Nutrition for Men Over 40 system.Today, we're flipping the script.We're talking about the RED LIST.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 — Welcome to Episode 20400:29 — Introducing The Dirty 13™01:26 — Why nutrition consistency matters02:23 — The Meta Test Boost Nutrition Lifestyle03:22 — Funk's personal experience with the system04:18 — The GREEN LIST and your go-to foods05:15 — Foods, metabolic health and testosterone07:08 — Nutrition after 40 and your margin for error08:20 — Introducing the RED LIST15:00 — #1 Liquid sugars &amp; sugary beverages21:16 — #2 Added sugar bombs27:26 — #3 Industrial trans fats31:23 — #4 Ultra-processed junk foods35:03 — #5 Industrial starches &amp; refined carbs39:39 — #6 Deep-fried &amp; fast foods46:44 — #7 Processed meats51:03 — #8 Alcohol55:30 — #9 Refined breakfast foods &amp; cereals57:28 — #10 “Healthy” foods that are really desserts59:51 — #11 Sugar-heavy sauces &amp; condiments01:03:28 — #12 Ultra-processed protein &amp; diet foods01:05:26 — #13 Highly processed dairy products01:07:49 — The Dirty 13 recap01:08:45 — Get Funk's complete Nutrition Over 40 System01:09:12 — Final thoughts &amp; challenge🔥 GET THE COMPLETE NUTRITION FOR MEN OVER 40 SYSTEMIf nutrition has been the missing piece in your transformation, Funk has put his entire Nutrition for Men Over 40 System together for under $5.You'll get access to the Meta Test Boost Nutrition Lifestyle, digital Nutrition for Men Over 40 book, audiobook, nutrition coaching and masterclasses, meal-prep training, Nutrition Consistency System, meal plans and resources, plus step-by-step guidance designed to help you put everything into action.👉 Get Nutrition for Men Over 40:https://over40shred.com/nutritionover40Stop guessing about what to eat — and start building a nutrition lifestyle you can actually sustain.⚡ SUPPORT HEALTHY TESTOSTERONE AFTER 40Nutrition is part of the foundation.
