Episode notes

i have a heart disease in my family. My father keeled over dead at 61. One of his two brothers died of a hard attack. So i figure, you just keep working, i keep riht of my bite. But on the other hand, i don't think eating half a slab of ribs every day would be healthy either. I mean, i could almost go 24 hours, because the meat doesn't contain so much energy that i don't need to eat it. That's how i was programmed. And anyway, the im it's all programming.

For years, health organizations have preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict your calories, eat less, exercise more. So why doesn’t it work for everyone? The Case for Keto puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we’ve come to think about obesity and diet. Shermer and Taubes discuss: scientific consensus, nutrition, replication, why Newtonian mechanics doesn’t work with human bodies, the physics model of calories, complicating variables, intermittent fasting, which fruits and vegetables you should consume and avoid, cholesterol, heart disease, statins, and why it is okay to have bacon-and-eggs for breakfast.
