Surviving the Holidays
In this episode of Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor and Mark Wright tackle the challenges of maintaining metabolic health during the holiday season. Dr. Cooper emphasizes the importance of keeping a regular routine to manage stress and avoid metabolic disruptions. The team shares practical advice for navigating family gatherings and enjoying the holidays without compromising your health.
Key Takeaways:

• Society's excessive focus on weight and appearance can be harmful; value shouldn't be based on physical changes.

• GLP1 medications need to be introduced gradually; skipping meals while on them can disrupt metabolism.

• Avoid contentious family discussions about weight, diet, and metabolism to prevent stress.

• Tryptophan in turkey is not the cause of post-meal drowsiness; overeating likely is.

• Stick to regular sleep and eating patterns to manage stress and maintain metabolic health.

• Extreme exercise during holidays can raise cortisol levels; maintaining a consistent routine is better.

• Family traditions and memories are important; a balanced approach to holiday eating can improve your overall experience.

Personal Stories & Practical Advice:

• Andrea discusses her family's tradition of holiday baking and her evolving relationship with food.

• Mark shares memories of Scandinavian holiday foods and the comfort he finds in holiday eating traditions.

• Dr. Cooper advises on balancing food intake and avoiding overemphasis on weight loss during holidays.

    You need a more thorough look at carnivore. Many of us carnivores love veggies and fruits, but they don’t like us. I’ve lost visceral fat and put on muscle with carnivore. I eat 1-2 times a day in a time-restricted eating window. No need to snack. All my inflammation and metabolic markers have improved.

    If you eat STUFF made by folks in white coats, then expect to be treated by folks in white coats, or worse still, those wearing blue theatre scrubs. We are being processed for PROFIT and not being fed for health, by those that MAKE FOOD LIKE SUBSTANCES. Dr Chris Von Tulleken talks at great length and depth about UPF / UPP. Avoid seed oils / emulsifiers. *** Get to know what CHEMICALS you are eating. - We have been warned. CMC Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose For the food and beverage industry, Akucell® and Cekol® cellulose gum high purity grades provide multiple benefits such as improved mouthfeel and protein stabilization. Moreover, these grades can be used in various personal care and pharmaceutical applications. Industrial applications such as paper surface treatment, fabric care, textiles, and ceramics take advantage of the flow control, water retention, and film-forming capabilities of our Finnfix® and Calexis® CMC. In mining operations, Celect® and Finnfix®CMC products are developed specifically for mineral flotation and depressants. To control fluid loss and provide strong rheological control in the oilfield, our Gabroil® CMC and Staflo® PAC extend the performance of water-based drilling additives. AkuPure™ CMC is used in batteries and battery storage systems as a binder in the anodes and to reinforce the separator. *** Polysorbate 80 is a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant. It is utilized as a surfactant in soaps and cosmetics and also as a lubricant in eye drops.

Carrageenan: Safety, risks, and uses This food additive is produced by mixing a seaweed extract with alkaline substances. Scientists widely accept that degraded carrageenan, or poligeenan, can trigger cancer and other health issues. Poligeenan is made by mixing the same seaweed extract with acid. It is a powerful inflammatory agent used in laboratories.

    I did OMAD, high fat 60%, protein and carbs in the 20% range, that resulted in 39 lbs / 18 kgs total body weight loss. I build more muscle than before eating the above % breakdown, Although carbohydrates are not classed as essential, ( fats and proteins are ) the human body seems to be fitted with the tools to produce and to digest carbohydrates. Many thrive without living off carbs, like Jordan Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila So to say they are vital is a misleading statement to make. *** Net search result yielded this - the same mantra that Prof Noakes preaches and many more that promote eating a meat based diet. Are there any essential carbohydrates? However there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. That being said there is no actual NEED for carbohydrates within the human body. If they aren't essential it means that the body can live without them.

    If you stand for eight hours, you will burn an average of 206 calories per hour (the estimated number of calories burned by a 170 lb. person). For eight hours, the estimated calories burned is 1648. Ramp that up to 12 hours and it is a whooping 2472. And that is simply standing. Factor in going to and from the rest room, taking a walk after lunch - no doubt you could breach 2800, I would rather stand at my desk than sit and burn 1648 kcals. Movement, as in doing something you enjoy should be none negotiable vs doing exercise just for the sake of it. Bottom line - do not be sedentary and take on the resemblance of a couched cabbage / potato.

    If you are recently diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and overweight/obese, losing at least 10% of your weight has been shown to result in remission in 50% of patients.

  • @clarkkent7973
    @clarkkent7973 8 місяців тому

    Disappointed that there was no mention that type-2 diabetics have lost 50% of the insulin (and amylin) producing beta cells in the pancreas. Reducing the volume of your body helps the remaining cells better regulate your blood glucose, but cannot fix the problem.
