Summary of Transcript:
In this YouTube video, Gary Taubes discusses that fat people do not necessarily eat too much. He explains that people’s bodies can differ in how easily they store fat and that it is not necessarily caused by how much they eat. He explains that the energy balance equation, which states that the change in energy in a system is equal to the point in minus the point out, does not explain the cause of obesity. He also explains that starving people or animals will lead to weight loss, but that does not mean they get fat from eating too much in the first place. He uses an example of a growing child to illustrate this point: You can starve a child and stunt its growth, but you would not say it grows because it eats too much.

In this interview, Gary Taubes, an investigative science and health journalist, and bestselling author discuss why some people struggle with losing weight even when calories are restricted to the point of a starvation diet. He explains that overeating may not be the root of the problem and that people who gain weight easily may be more sensitive to storing fat. He also discusses how carbohydrates are fattening to those who fatten easily and how to minimize insulin levels to get fat out of fat cells and keep it out.

In a perfect world, we can all eat the same, and everyone gains and loses weight the same way. Unfortunately, you may have a friend who can kill a whole pizza, have dessert and eat extra fries without gaining an ounce of weight. Others seem to put on weight even looking at a plate of food. What’s the deal? Why is it so easy for some people to gain weight and hard for others? Why are so many people still sold on the calories in and calories out as a solution to obesity and weight control? Gary Taubes is an investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author. His latest book, The Case for Keto, tackles a lot of the misinformation around calories and why some people struggle with losing weight even when calories are restricted to the point of a starvation diet. We are led to believe that overeating is the problem, but what if eating too much isn’t what’s making you fat? What if your partner’s issue is how sensitive their body is to storing fat? This interview may be the missing piece of the puzzle that will help you, and the people you love to make the right diet changes today.

QUOTES:
“As long as insulin is elevated, your body’s being told not to burn the fat but to burn the carbs. So if insulin is elevated, carbohydrates are your fuel.” [35:28]
“Carbohydrates are fattening to those of us who fatten easily; not all of us are susceptible […] if we want to get significant fat out of our fat cells and keep it out, then we have to minimize insulin” [39:30]
“If you’re overweight, you have to carb restrict. It’s not about eating less but lowering insulin levels.” [58:15]
