AdaptLIVE with Intervention Cardiologist Dr. Blair O'Neill
Interesting talk, I agree with most of what he says. One thing I think I disagree with a lot of Keto'ers about is that I think calories do matter. The magic of low carb is not that fat can't make you fat, but rather that fat and protein have a feedback loop that is missing with refined carbohydrates. When you over eat with natural sources of food there is a feedback loop, your body lets you know you are full and you will not get hungry again until you need to eat. It is a lot easier to over eat with carbs. This is why people have similar results with isocaloric studies, but different results in the real world.
My personal thoughts have evolved over the years. I was pretty hard core keto for a lot of years, now I feel like most whole foods that are killed or taken directly off of a plant/tree are OK to eat (perhaps with the exception of some tropical fruit).
His point about not being able to exercise off weight is so right no. I see poor souls walking on treadmills for years who haven't lost any weight, if they could just stop eating the grain/sugar/PUFAs they'd be all right. BTW, the risks of PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) aren't getting enough attention.
>calories do matter.
Definitely. I remember a podcast where the doctors were saying people who start keto need to realize they'll be eating a smaller volume of food. Fat is 9 calories/gram.
>feedback loop
Typical American diet produces lots of sugar crashes. Insulin overshoots, blood sugar dips. Body craves sugar again to restore normalcy. Repeat. Ugh.
