Summary of Transcript:
In this YouTube video, Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and best-selling author, discusses the role of insulin in weight loss and disease mitigation. He explains that counting calories is not an effective way to lose weight, as the body may decide to burn fewer calories instead of fat. He states that it is unimportant to the total number of calories, but what the body does with those calories depends on hormones. He further explains that carbohydrates stimulate the body to secrete insulin, as it is a nutrient sensor that tells the body that food is on the way and to switch to storing calories instead of burning them. Protein also stimulates insulin, but dietary fat does not, as it does not get metabolized through the liver.

Which diet are you following? Are you doing the carnivore diet? Vegan? Keto? The choices and variations of every diet plan available are nearly endless. At the heart of the matter, diet consciousness is a question of overall health and better managing and preventing diseases and conditions that hinder your performance and destroy your ability to live a happy and healthy life. In this episode, nephrologist and intermittent fasting expert Dr. Jason Fung exposes the importance of understanding your body’s hormonal response to insulin activated by what you eat and the frequency with which you eat. He also breaks down the three major paradigms for cancer and ranks the danger of a poor diet as high as cigarette smoke in terms of increased risk contributors of cancer. Dr. Fung also authorizes the #1 best-seller, The Obesity Code.

QUOTES:
“So it’s false to say if you cut 500 calories a day down, you will lose a pound of body fat a week; it’s not true in any way, shape, or form.” [5:31]
“When you’re thinking about weight gain, weight loss, you have to think about hormones because it’s a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric imbalance” [12:04]
“When insulin is going down, you’re going to burn body fat, […] you can’t burn body fat if insulin is high.” [21:05]
“… we’re not trying to kill cells with immunotherapy; we’re not trying to fix genetic mutations. What we’re trying to do is treat these cancers like a foreign species, like an invasive foreign species…” [40:03]
“diet plays a massive role, and by understanding it, perhaps you can reduce your risk of cancer.” [47:45]
