Episode 2675 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss questioning the reasons behind slower weight loss for women, lab-grown meat, and fitness trackers.
Questioning the Reasons
- Vinnie is learning a lot about making kombucha. (3:00)
- He has discovered that he can reduce the sugar in it and still maintain great flavor.
- Reasons for women losing weight slower than men, even on a ketogenic diet. (9:00)
- Frontiers in Nutrition gathered the metadata, and this is what they found.
- Testosterone makes it easier to mobilize fat.
- Variations in the hormonal biochemistry occur in most women, making losing weight a larger challenge. (15:00)
- Low-carb/keto still works for women, but can be at a different rate, so consistency is key.
- Lab-grown meat. (21:00)
- They discuss the difference between lab-grown and fake meat (like Impossible Burger).
- They discuss the marketing and messaging behind the motivation.
- Climate change is a motivation, and they discuss inconsistencies in the argument. (28:00)
- Lab-grown meat still contains chemicals and would challenge the environment for different reasons. (37:00)
- The definition of an “ultra-processed” food: lab-grown and imitation meat qualify as this.
- You can watch Vinnie’s documentary “Beyond Impossible” to learn more. (42:00)
- Fitness trackers. Vinnie isn’t always a huge fan, but if it keeps people active and cognizant of their goals, he’s fine with them. (44:00)
- The unfortunate thing is that they are not always accurate.
- They don’t always work well for obese people, and the algorithm was designed based on thin, healthier people. (46:00)
- Don’t get mad at the companies, just don’t make yourself dependent on trackers. Rely on yourself!
- They discuss examples of what they mean by this.
- It’s also not great to become obsessed with the data. That can have its downside as well. (53:00)
- The unfortunate thing is that they are not always accurate.
