Do We Become Fat Because We’re Overeating, or Do We Overeat Because We’re Becoming Fat?

There are many things that are fundamentally wrong with the notion that weight loss is all about calories in vs. calories out. Above you can watch a talk by Dr. David Ludwig where he explains why that is the case.

Some key takeaways?

  • Body weight is not under conscious control – it’s under biological control.
  • When we try to eat less and run more, the body responds by either making us hungrier or by slowing down our metabolism.
  • Foods rich in processed carbohydrates are especially fattening.
  • If we want to lose weight, we’re better off improving the quality of our diet (meaning a diet with few carbohydrates), rather than reducing calories.
