640. It Isn't the Calories

The Doctor Is In Podcast - A podcast by Dr. A.W. Martin and Dr. A.P. Martin

Do you know how many calories were in that food you just ate? According to Dr. Martin, it doesn’t matter – your body doesn’t work that way! If it were calories in, calories out, we would have fixed weight loss years and years ago. The key is insulin, and not calories! Dr. Martin teaches on nutrition in today’s episode. He says if you can understand how insulin works, you got nutrition figured out. In comparing bacon and eggs with cereal, yes the bacon and eggs have more calories, but your body needs to secrete way more insulin to process the cereal – and that’s worse! Also, learn why doctors know so little about nutrition. A clue… it has to do with the pharmaceutical and food industries!
