Gary Taubes - 'The Quality of Calories: Competing paradigms of obesity pathogenesis'

[@dawne5139]

Read Good Calories , Bad Calories about 9 years ago . My husband had 3 strokes, could not walk or talk, could not cheat on the doctor recommend diet, was getting blood work every 3 weeks and always worse. I had lived on 1200 low fat, high fibre for decades, had an extremely active job and was fat, hungry and depressed. Because of Taubes I changes are diet. My husband is doing great. Bloodwork improved right after we changed and he slowly became more mobile and was soon able to talk again. I dropped 60 pounds. My trigs, went from high to low. I will never return to low fat he'll again . From my point of view, this man is a hero.

Congrats! Gary really is the best. I have all of his books. So informative. Listen to him either on Joe Rogan podcast or interviews elsewhere about comparing himself to his brother. It’s pretty funny and tells you a lot about why he is so passionate on this topic. I don’t ever listen to naturally thin people who were blessed with metabolic health that have NO CLUE personally about the struggles. Like someone on a famous tv show that tortures heavy people with low fat and extreme exercise exploiting them for $. I’ll be quiet now. Back to you and your husband - congrats and hope you are continuing your journey without looking back.

These good doctors are a part of the Evidence-based nutrition movement that has helped thousands reverse every manner of diseases of the modern diet. Their approach is somewhat different that Mr. Taubes here, and for good reason.

I remember arguing with vegans when Gary Taubes' presentations and interviews started to make appearances on KZbin 8 years ago. First they said that his claims would never be taken seriously, and second that he would be obese within a few years. Now, jump 8 years ahead to the current moment, and not only is the mainstream medical community starting to heed what Taubes has been asserting for over a decade, but he is slimmer than ever. Hence both of these predictions were flat out wrong. The only way that anyone can take a vegan's prognostications seriously is if they are already brainwashed by their propaganda, or if they have amnesia with regards to the failure rate of vegan predictions.

Well, they ARE at risk for Vitamin B defiencies on their plant-based diets, so it's hard for them to think clearly. This is why a lot of cults mandate a vegan and/or vegetarian diet. BTW, when I was fact-checking before posting, I found this: www.vegan.com/cults/ At first I laughed my butt off, sure that this was a parody site. But when I clicked on other links, this site seems to be in dreadful earnest. I suppose just this one article could be tongue-in-cheek, but there's absolutely no indications that this is a joke. Maybe you're expected to "of course" know this, or maybe this is bait to get low carb people in an uproar, after which they can say, "Ha, ha, silly meat-eaters! Can't you tell this is a joke?" I really don't know what to think.

I think it was common knowledge. There was a British guy who wrote "The Banting Diet" in the 1800s. The only way he could lose weight and keep it off was by avoiding carbs - they called them starches. Then we all got brainwashed in the 1970s with the low-fat high-carb garbage.

I have great respect for Gary Taubes. I have read all his books and watched his You Tube Videos. And I agree that the best way to eat for weight management and health is a Low Carb, High Fat diet. But as someone who has had a weigh problem all my life I can assure you I didn't eat because I was always hungry. In fact I have been hungry maybe twice in my life. I never went long enough to experience hunger. I eat in anticipation of hunger. I ate because I was tired, bored, excited, the food was there, others were eating, etc. And in my clinical experience (psychotherapist) my clients, my friends, and family who struggled with weight ate for the same reasons. So the one thing I see as the thread in the LCHF world is the statement if you eat this way you will lose weight at least in part because you won't be hungry. (And for me the more convincing case is that you become a fat burner and as a consequence you won't be hungry.) But even living on KETO I still have to deal with impulses to eat for reasons having nothing to do with hunger or biochemistry. Emotional eating is a factor and it would be good if the LCHF folks at least acknowledged it isn't simply a matter of hormone imbalances that make us hungry and keep our fat cells from releasing stored energy. And again I say this as someone who agrees with these folks.

[@debblouin]

I agree with you on the social-emotional component of food consumption. Food is love in many families and cultures. That said, moderation in sweets and in other treats was taught in the home in that sweets and treats were reserved for special occasions. What flipped the switch for our seeming transition to constant “treats”? And why?

[@smthB4]

In defence of the CICO (Calories in Calories out) model, it was right up to a point, in that, in the short term at least, both fasting or just reducing the amount of food will lead to weight loss. In light of the low carb scientific evidence, this is best explained by saying that both actions reduce the amount of ingested carbohydrates and thus the amount of insulin produced. The result of the low fat movement that followed Ancel Keys was that it showed us that by keeping the calories the same, but turning up the carbs while turning down the fat, had the opposite of the desired effect, and showed us the wrong way to do it, and ultimately the right way, but it came at a great cost of diabetes related deaths, blindness, and amputations. Where the die hard defenders of CICO disappoint me is in their refusal to change their minds. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake, but there is something wrong in not admitting it.

[@iekemp9926]

Might I add some information of Dr. Lustig, about what can drive Insuline: not only "carbs drive Insuline drive fat" but also for some: "chronic stress releases Neuropeptid y, which drives fat-storage (Insuline contribution...), which incites you to eat carbs to get available energy". We all reach for sugar under stress, so "Insuline drives sugar-intake" is also true.... We can be badly trapped. Sleep is also a major factor for hormonal disbalance. Physiological systems are interplaying under a high grade of complexity. .... Personally low carb is not enough for me (high compliance) I try to get stress and sleep fixed...

At age 11, I was put on amphetamines and punished if I didn't take them. At age 19, doctors put me on a 500 calorie diet, which I stayed on for 10 years. If I went up to 800 calories, I gained back. I blacked out every time I stood up for those 10 years. I seldom thought of anything but food (not when I was a fat kid, when I exercised a lot and had fun and ate like my thin family. When I starved, I was obsessed with food.) Probably damaged my heart, certainly my biota. They made plenty of money off that. The only permanent result is I needed eating disorders therapy by the end, in order to accept that I needed 2000 calories per day, my metabolism was permanently altered, and they got richer. I loathe doctors and would trust a random heroin dealer more than any doctor: at least they'd show me a modicum of respect. Don't fat shame kids, a-hole doctors. Just stop it.

Different foods promote different hormonal responses. Hormones are powerful regulators of weight and body composition. Your hormones determine your appetite, your energy levels and metabolic rate by 'telling' your brain that you are either in fat storage mode or fat expending mode. If in fat storage mode, you won't feel inclined to exercise, your body won't expend energy keeping you warm so you're going to reach for blankets instead. Your actual rate of calorie consumption will slow down, whereas in fat burning mode, you'll be energised by doing exercise, will be inclined to be more active, will use stored energy to keep warm, won't be as hungry and so on. Google good calories bad calories.

Because you have to look at the whole metabolic system and not just “energy storage”: HOW macronutrients get metabolized. The reason you can’t buy a lot of this is because you have accepted an incorrect narrative of energy use.

[@iss8504]

Yes fat is stored energy. But why it's stored or burned is controlled by hormones. That is the point of the carbohydrate insulin model.

[@h.o.j2375]

You do know insulin is a hormone right? I doubt you even watched the whole video because if you did you would have a basic understanding of biochemistry of food we eat acting on our body.

This is all about the history of why they were wrong about obesity, the idiot's etc! I want latest research not a sarcastic report on the failures of the past - sorry speaker!

sorry, this is a very slow to the point presentation. In fact, since watching this a week ago, I have not wanted to watch any more low carb down under content. Unsubscribe.

The length of the video is stated before you click on it... I'd suggest sticking with 5-10 minute clips if this is too much for you.
