Why is it that 80% of adults in the US are now considered overweight, a stark contrast to just 100 years ago? Why do we tend to gain weight, and why is it becoming a more pressing concern? These are the questions we’ll delve into today, exploring the science and research behind weight gain. It’s a deep dive, but the insights gained will be worth it.
When I become fixated on a subject, I become relentless in my pursuit of knowledge. This led me to immerse myself in various resources, including books, journal articles, and studies. One pivotal book that shaped my understanding and led to my personal transformation and the creation of Thinlicious is Gary Taubes’ “Why We Get Fat And What to Do About It.” Taubes’ meticulously researched insights are eye-opening and informative, making his book a must-read. While I aspire to host him on my podcast in the future, for now, I highly recommend exploring his work for a deeper understanding.
Much of what we’ll discuss today draws from Taubes’ book, albeit in a condensed form. For a comprehensive exploration of these concepts, I urge you to read his book. Despite the complexity of these topics, I want to stress their relevance and impact on our health and well-being.
Before we delve into the intricacies of weight gain, let’s challenge the conventional wisdom we’ve been fed regarding calories in, calories out. The prevailing belief that weight loss is solely about balancing energy intake and expenditure oversimplifies the complex workings of our bodies. Our systems are multi-faceted and interwoven, governed by a multitude of factors such as genetics, hormones, and external influences. Rather than viewing weight loss through a simplistic lens, we must acknowledge the intricate interplay of our bodily systems and the significant energy demands they require for optimal function.
Our bodies are not linear systems governed by basic math equations. They are dynamic entities fueled by a combination of intricate processes and regulatory mechanisms. By understanding the complexity of our physiology, we can appreciate the nuanced approach needed for sustainable weight loss and overall well-being.
