The conversation should not be about eat less move more, it should be about the [Paper] The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity - Beyond “Calories In, Calories Out” - 2018
TLDR: Carbohydrates drive insulin, insulin drives obesity. This is far more clinically relevant to obese patients then the current form of CICO shaming (if the current advice doesn't work for you, its a moral failing on your part)
Carbohydrates/sugars are very addictive, breaking the habits does take a holistic approach, but education is a good first step.
These are associations not causation, it's being kind of used as a excuse for why nobody has done anything yet.
Not a mention of carbohydrates?
Overfed and undernourished - This is a problem with processed foods to be sure, but people are eating to satisfy their carbohydrate addictions and not whole food nutritional needs.
I'm disappointed Jet. I was eagerly awaiting your input on this and rather than address what's being said in the article, you're just pushing your preexisting agenda.
Did I miss something in the article? Some underlying unifying thesis? I'm looking at it again, and its not saying much specific.
I thought I was agreeing with this.
Yeah, when I know the solution to obesity and addiction, and I see people suffering from those exact things, I'm going to my best to ensure people are informed of their options and the underlying mechanisms. My life would have been very different if I had know this at a younger age.
