Obesity and Fat Shaming: Do Calories Really Count? A Geneticist’s Take
Update: 2022-02-10
Description
Cambridge Professor and Obesity Geneticist, Giles Yeo (pronounced YO) PhD and I discuss the genetics and epigenetics of obesity and the influence of our food environment on our collective health, from a practical and actionable level. He makes a strong case why calorie counting is overrated, why BMI is a poor tool to assess metabolic health risk, why fat shaming is not helpful and why he, with all he knows, is a flexitarian. He adds a very interesting story of when he fully stopped meat, and then what happened when he restarted eating it. There’s more too but you’ll just have to listen to find out! #weightstigma
