Quick takeaways

Calories are not an accurate indicator of a food's nutritional value or impact on health.

The timing of meals can affect hunger levels, but the best eating pattern depends on individual preferences and lifestyles.

Protein has a higher satiety factor than fat and carbohydrates, making it beneficial for feelings of fullness and reducing overall food intake.

The prevalence of gluten intolerance is lower than the market demand for gluten-free products suggests, with only 3-4% of individuals experiencing genuine intolerance.

Calories and the Inaccuracy of Calorie Counting

Calories are a useful tool for measuring the amount of food consumed, but they do not reflect the quality of the food. The caloric content of a food does not determine its nutritional value or its impact on health. Different foods can have different caloric availabilities, meaning that the body may extract different amounts of calories from the same food depending on how it is prepared or processed.

I Love Your Podcast, Giles!

Have you tried every diet under the sun but can’t seem to budge the weight, or if you have lost the weight as soon as you stop the diet you put it all back on? What if weight loss had nothing to do with discipline and self control, but your brain was actually designed to want you to be fat?

This is something that Cambridge University Professor Giles Yeo has been researching all through his career, how the brain controls our bodyweight. Dr Yeo examines how our genes have evolved over time to make us crave certain foods, and why people can have totally different relationships with food.

After watching this conversation you won’t see food the same way again, as Dr Yeo exposes why calories shouldn’t be counted, why most diets are the same and unsustainable in the long term and how you can lose weight without losing your love of food.
