Summary of Transcript:
• Bad fats include soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, and margarine. These foods contain GMO ingredients and trans fats, as well as potentially toxic solvents used in processing them.
• Good fats include cod liver oil, avocado oil, lard, tallow, camel fat, butter (grass-fed), ghee, olive oil (extra virgin), palm oil (environmentally friendly versions), and coconut oil.
What’s the best explanation for why weight loss is not particularly difficult but weight loss maintenance is complicated? There’s probably no explanation and that question of why is tricky. Do we mean evolutionarily? Why is that what happened in evolution that got us to be what we are today?
That leads to that, or is it biochemically and otherwise why one of the mechanisms is involved? I don’t know from either point of view. I don’t know all the answers. Um, from the evolutionary point of view, the meme was the thrifty gene hypothesis for a long time.
From James Neal’s right so the idea is that animals in general and including and especially humans throughout evolutionary history, were on the brink of starvation, so anything you could do to preserve energy you did and anything you did when allowed to get
More energy eats as much as you can while you can. Then you get into this modern environment where there’s, for practical purposes for most of us, unlimited consumable energy you overconsume. I think that’s simplistic for many, many reasons. First, as the lawyers say, objection assumes facts, not in.
Evidence that it’s unclear that humans have been on the brink of starvation throughout history. Robert Fogel won the Nobel prize for looking at these old data going back to at least the 1700s of British naval recruits and other places you see bmi
On average, they’re going up over the centuries, but there’s a slight fluctuation as things get better and worse in places. The second thing is, how does this account for pregnancy right now? Maybe now the latest data from John Speakman and colleagues in science with all the double-labeled water about
Three months ago, maybe it suggested that women’s energy intakes don’t need to go up that much during pregnancy. However, they still go up, so if humans have been reproducing for millennia, where did all that extra energy come from if we’re always on starvation?
And then the last thing I’ll say is anybody who ever goes fishing knows that the idea that every animal is hungry all the time and is going to gripe grab every bite of food you throw in front of it is never fishing. You can see that beautiful bass.
Sitting in the clear water in front of you, you can dangle your worm or kili, or whatever it is you’ve got, and sometimes the fish looks at you, so it’s not clear that this is the case. Some animals do get obese when given unlimited food some don’t.
There are many differences within and across species, so that’s when the ir arepeakman came along, and he said, I’m not sure I’m buying this whole idea he s,aI’mi think itI’mfreedom from predation. Hek in history, we will pray, then there was a certain point where we
Lear. Then used tools and hunted together, and we stopped being prey and started being predators; when we switched from being prey to predators then, we didn’t need to hide in our caves and eat the limit the least we could because every time you came out of your
Burrow, you were potentially exposed to a predator; we could walk around and eat ad-lib. In that case, the genes that were being selected that gave us satiety mechanisms that kept our weight down no longer were being chosen, for it wasn’t that nature was setting four.
Genes that made us fatter weren’t selecting for genes that kept us thin, and then what happens is called drift. You know, mutations occur, and things drift, so he calls it the drifty hypothesis, and it’s less. It’s less about the thinness was a
A consequence of what the genes were probably selected for, which presumably was lower appetite or something like that, right probably, and I think these things it’s not one there’s not one factor exactly? We see this, for example, in the evolution of um sexual reproduction, which is called the queen of questions in biology.
Right nobody can really figure out why do we have sexual repro when asexual production seems so much more efficient from a genetic fitness point of view and people have proposed different hypotheses, sit and no one seems to work mathematically and what it may be is that it’s only by
Putting them all together mathematically works, and it is just an inelegant solution. You see similar things in physics where maybe you know these beautiful simple mathematical things may not hold up. You may have to have ugly composite theories.
