  • People all on tons of meds
  • All have a sugary drink and some awful food in their hands

MISUNDERSTANDING OF WEIGHT GAIN

  • Obesity links tons of diseases together
  • Dr. Fung started by asking: What causes obesity?
  • The Aetiology of Obesity Lectures 
  • Sugar is the enemy, not calories
    • When you eat less calories, your energy expenditure (and thus fat/fuel usage) goes down
      • You simply get hungrier
  • Takes time to lose the weight
  • Cortisol is a stress hormone — encourages getting fat
  • Leptin — produced by fat cells, regulates how much fat is in the body
    • If you have lots of fat, leptin is released and tells your brain to stop gaining more weight
    • When you are quite fat, your body stops responding to leptin
    • Secondary hormone — doesn’t pass the causal test
    • Ghrelin is another one of these secondary hormones
      • No lasting effect so doesn’t pass the causal test

FASTING

  • People always ask Vinnie about IM fasting
  • Intermittent fasting should happen every day
    • 3 meals a day — fast in between
    • literal “break – fast”
  • Snacks don’t allow your body to process everything
    • Shorter fasts are not enough
    • Insulin levels not sustainably down
  • We obsess to much about what we are eating, we need to think about when we are eating
