Fasting For Life

Ep. 230 - Low Carb vs. Calorie Debate: New Study Challenges Conventional Obesity Wisdom | Insulin's Pivotal Role in Fat Storage & Gene Expression | Practical Fasting & Food Choice Strategies for Weight Loss


Listen Later

In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we delve into the debate between the calorie in, calorie out model and the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity, focusing on a recent study involving obese mice. The study found that a low-carb, high-fat diet prevented the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) more effectively than the Western diet, even under similar caloric conditions. We emphasize the significant role of macronutrients, insulin levels, and meal timing in weight management and overall health, urging listeners to combine fasting with low-carb diets for optimal results. We also encourage listeners to explore their resources for practical tips on implementing these strategies in their own lives.
