Conceição Calhau is the specialist quoted in this article about diet and health. She appears in the book "Swallowing toads makes you fat - the weight of emotions on health and the scale", where she addresses issues related to diets and nutrition.
The specialist dispels myths about nutrition, including the idea that vegan diets and foods considered healthy are necessarily beneficial in all circumstances.
One of Conceição Calhau's main messages is that "eating little and badly can make you gain weight", contradicting the common belief that reducing the quantity of food is sufficient to lose weight.
Additionally, she states that "fast food doesn't have to be junk food", meaning fast food doesn't need to be necessarily garbage food, suggesting that it is possible to have quick options that are nutritionally adequate.
