Calories and Metabolism
- Metabolism breaks down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from food into energy and nutrients.
- This energy is measured in calories, and a calorie is a calorie regardless of its food source.
Metabolism and Body Size
- A faster metabolism isn't linked to a thinner body.
- Body size has the biggest impact on metabolic rate.
Keto Diet Study
- Dr. Hall's study compared a ketogenic diet with a plant-based diet, with equal calories.
- The keto diet led to slightly higher calorie burning (60-150 calories), but this is insignificant for weight loss.
