Paul Saladino MD podcast 180. How to lose weight
Prioritize Health
- Prioritize health over weight loss as a primary goal.
- Focus on becoming healthier, and weight loss will follow naturally.
Calorie Restriction
- Calorie restriction can be counterproductive for weight loss.
- It triggers the body's starvation mechanisms, making long-term weight loss difficult.
Hadza Tribe
- The Hadza tribe, a hunter-gatherer group, has almost no obesity.
- One overweight woman in the tribe consumed processed foods from missionaries.
On today’s podcast, Paul talks about how to lose weight, healthily. He first speaks on how not to lose weight and why he believes the mainstream paradigm for weight loss is flawed. He dives into what he believes makes humans fat in the first place, actionable steps to take for weight loss including how to increase satiety, and why “calories in calories out” is an outdated and oversimplified method.
A note from Paul: Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
