Why Calories Don't Matter | Exposing Th...

Ben Azadi
About this episode

The eat less and move more model for health and weight loss is one of the most ridiculous methods I've ever come across. Our bodies are a chemistry lab, not a bank account. Theres no receptors in our body that counts calories, so why the heck are we counting calories? 

Let's take a look at Webster's definition of 'food': "material consisting essentially of protein, carbohydrate, and fat used in the body of an organism to sustain growth, repair, and vital processes and to furnish energy." It's about getting your nutrients from those calories. That should be your most important focus. 

In this controversial episode, Ben puts a spotlight on who came up with this flawed energy balance hypothesis. This episode may rattle the feathers of doctors, nutritionists, and dietitians.
