Dive into the flawed notion of ‘a calorie is a calorie,’ dissecting the impact of sugar on mitochondrial function and challenging the traditional approach to weight loss through caloric restriction. Dr. Lustig emphasizes the inadequacy of language in nutrition discourse.

Calorie Isn't Just a Calorie | Andrew Huberman
What
Bro doesn’t understand thermodynamics
Alright this is a disingenuous argument. A calorie is a calorie and cutting calories will make you lose weight. If you go below you’re maintenance you will lose wait if you go too high you will gain weight. That’s the thermodynamics. Food and fat are energy that’s either stored or used up. What he’s talking about is drugs like 2,4 DNP that inhibit the mitochondria. In the case of something like that you will lose weight because instead of generating Energy your body will generate heat. It’s still thermodynamics, it’s just that the calorie becomes unable to be stored as food
I feel like this isnt a good moment for a short
seems like something is missing from this
what makes no sense is people saying that cutting calories doesn't work
Tell that to every single bobybuilder….smh ????
No.
Our body passively produces heat, even if we stay completely still we are srill going to burn an x amount of calories.
Reducing mitochondrial function will also means that our body will automatically become colder, this is also why cold blooded animal don't require this much food.
Just because someone is old and wears a suit it doesn't mean that they don't talk out of their ass.
That's a professional yapologist right there
Absolute bullshit.
Look, a calorie is a calorie. Different bodies use a calorie to a different level of effectiveness. The less effective, the more calories one can eat. Also different bodies burn calories for different things. Some people just burn calories fidgeting, producing heat and a myriad of other stuff. So, the calories you consume get used for other stuff than storage.
YOU dont know how your body uses the calories tho. And the fact remains that you will not put on weight if you eat under maintenance.
I mean, I guess I get what he wants to say, that calories eaten isn't a value that applies to all in the same way.. but hes choosing to adress this from the wrong side I think
This dudes just lying
What inhibits mitochondria action? And what direction that works? Less efficient furnace would use more fuel to produce less energy. So getting fat would mean efficient mitochondria function. I got that right?
Who is this guy, I’d like to look up his credentials
this is incredibly wrong.
