Episode notes
Energy Balance Is The Core Principle
- Energy balance (calories in vs calories out) is the primary determinant of weight change.
- Control intake via food choices and output via BMR, thermic effect, NEAT and exercise.
Calories Rose From Refined Carbs And Processed Food
- Since the 1980s total calories rose mainly from refined carbs and ultra-processed foods, not fat alone.
- Focusing on nutrient quality rather than macronutrient percentages reveals why obesity rose.
Cut Ultra-Processed Foods
- Avoid ultra-processed foods because they drive overconsumption and weight gain.
- Replace them with whole, unprocessed meals to naturally reduce calorie intake.
