Move More, Eat Less? The Lie That Won’t Die
The Fatal Flaws of Calories in Calories Out
Welcome Back! You've heard it a million times: "Just eat less and move more."
But if weight regulation were really that simple, we probably wouldn't be facing rising rates of obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic dieting frustration.
In this episode, I sit down with Adam Kosloff to explore the history of the calorie, the limitations of the calories-in, calories-out (CICO) model, and why metabolism may be far more complex than we've been led to believe.
-The history of the calorie and how CICO became the dominant nutrition paradigm
-Why energy balance matters—but may not tell the whole story
-Adam's Farmer Model of metabolism and his ecosystem-based approach to understanding obesity
-Hormones, food quality, stress, sleep, and other factors that influence metabolic health
-The questions and critiques that challenge conventional assumptions about weight loss
Whether you're a nutrition nerd, a fitness professional, or someone who's spent years feeling like you were "doing everything right" without seeing the results you expected, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on one of the most debated topics in health and nutrition.
