DR. TRO KALAYJIAN

• Tro is a doctor
  • Ivy League med guy
• Used to have to tell people to lose weight
• He, however, was 350 lbs himself
  • A little over 5’11”
• Always a hard conversation for both parties
  • Shame on both sides
• His colleagues were the most judgmental
• He didn’t know how he ended up so heavy
• He is a low carb guy
  • Has had great NSNG success himself
  • Has lost over 145 lbs!!!
• Specialties in obesity, diabetes, nutrition

NUTRITION EDUCATION

• Tro did med school, 3 years of training for internal medicine
• In the whole of med school, they maybe spent a week on nutrition education
  • WHILE they’re learning a bunch of other things
• On average, med schools only spend 25 hours of nutrition
  • Nothing compared to anything else
  • They spend 500 hours covering most other subjects in med school
• The nutrition consultations that he did give, he’d say “cut sugar and fat, go see a nutritionist”, and that was it
  • Like throwing gas at a fire
• If a doctor with the best, very extensive, education can’t figure out why HE is fat, that’s a problem

HUNGER AND SATIETY

• Hunger is the missing link in nutrition
• Tro would eat and eat and never be full
• Really, only low carb people talk and analyze hunger, which is great
• This is a hormonal thing
  • Grelin and leptin control your hunger
• Many people get fat because they eat because they’re always hungry!
• Sugars and certain oils mess with satiety
  • Hence, more sugar you get, you’ll get hungrier
• Gum chewing releases hormones and opens up your stomach and you’ll want to eat more
• Our livers are not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between real and fake sugar
  • Diet soft drinks are BAD!
• Hopefully more people will get on the low carb wagon and consider the importance of these hormones
  • Dietitians and nutritionists are the first step
