Description

Can you eat whatever you want as long you are in a calorie deficit? This is what fitness influencers and even some health professionals would tell you. This message is tempting in its simplicity but is scientifically wrong and fundamentally harmful.

In this episode we unpack:

  • The origin of the calorie

  • The flawed concept of the term “calorie deficit”

  • How our body processes food and absorbs energy

  • And we introduce the concept of low-insulin recipes
