He's agnostically looking at nutrition, based on the premise that if we give our bodies the optimal nutrients they need, the cravings will subside.
Interesting thought, and it'd certainly be a HUGE win for me!
He says, "Hunger increases exponentially as more of our energy comes from fat+starch.
(Let that sink in for a moment)
When we look at the foods that have more of their energy from fat+starch we can start to see why this is the case. Regardless of willpower and dedicated weighing and measure these people will likely struggle to maintain a sustained calorie deficit. It's the "comfort foods" like crackers, doughnuts, cookies and lasagna that you will go back to for seconds and not stop until they're all gone.
It's the added fats and flours that have increased the most in parallel
with the growing obesity epidemic.
(I feel like he's speaking directly to me!)
If weight loss is a goal, you should reduce the foods and meals that contain both starch (e.g. wheat flour, corn starch etc) and added fats (e.g. canola, soy oil, rapeseed oil etc) together."
Looking at his data, it's astounding. Where was all this knowledge several decades ago, when I could have turned it around more easily???
Onward...
