In a perfect world, we can all eat exactly the same and everyone gains and loses weight the exact same way. Unfortunately, in reality you may have a friend that 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 so hard for others. Why are so many people still sold on the calories in and calories out 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 problem is really 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 make the right diet changes, today.Check out Gary’s latest book, The Case for Keto: https://amzn.to/3sHS2AKSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Gary Taubes1:27 | Overeating or Just Overweight9:24 | Starvation Storing More Fat18:27 | Quantify Excess Calories24:48 | Hunger & Energy Burning30:31 | Insulin Resistant37:33 | Sensitivity of Fat Storing Cells43:33 | American Carb Diet Problem50:10 | A Fat Storage Problem56:34 | Eat For Your Body TypeFollow Gary Taubes:Website: http://garytaubes.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/garytaubesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GaryTaubesAuthor/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-taubes-942a6459/Check out our sponsors:Riverside: Go to riverside.fm/impactButcherBox: Sign up at ButcherBox.com/impactInsideTracker: Get 25% off their entire store at insidetracker.com/impacttheoryBetter Help: Get 10% off your first month at https://betterhelp.com/impacttheoryAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?If you’re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.Want to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
