In a perfect world, we can all eat exactly the same and everyone gains and loses weight the exact same way. Unfortunately, in reality you may have a friend that can kill a whole pizza, have dessert and eat extra fries without gaining an ounce of weight. Others seem to put on weight even looking at a plate of food. What\u2019s the deal? Why is it so easy for some people to gain weight and so hard for others. Why are so many people still sold on the calories in and calories out solution to obesity and weight control? Gary Taubes is an investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author. His latest book, The Case for Keto, tackles a lot of the misinformation around calories and why some people struggle with losing weight even when calories are restricted to the point of a starvation diet. We are led to believe that overeating is the problem, but what if eating too much isn\u2019t what\u2019s making you fat? What if your partner's problem is really how sensitive their body is to storing fat? This interview may be the missing piece of the puzzle that will help you and the people you love make the right diet changes, today.\nCheck out Gary\u2019s latest book, The Case for Keto: https://amzn.to/3sHS2AK\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n0:00 | Introduction to Gary Taubes\n1:27 | Overeating or Just Overweight\n9:24 | Starvation Storing More Fat\n18:27 | Quantify Excess Calories\n24:48 | Hunger & Energy Burning\n30:31 | Insulin Resistant\n37:33 | Sensitivity of Fat Storing Cells\n43:33 | American Carb Diet Problem\n50:10 | A Fat Storage Problem\n56:34 | Eat For Your Body Type\n\nFollow Gary Taubes:\nWebsite: http://garytaubes.com/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/garytaubes\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GaryTaubesAuthor/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-taubes-942a6459/\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\nRiverside: Go to riverside.fm/impact\nButcherBox: Sign up at ButcherBox.com/impact\nInsideTracker: Get 25% off their entire store at insidetracker.com/impacttheory\nBetter Help: Get 10% off your first month at https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
