Dr Giles Yeo, Cambridge University says that "obesity" is costing the British economy £27 billion each year. I agree with him that a majority of people eat far too much, people enjoy eating far too much.
The video is titled, "The Weight Loss Scientist: You've been lied to about calories, dieting and losing weight". Yeo says that Keto was developed for epileptics. Although I would say that it was Dr Atkins that proposed the change of metabolism from a sugar burning metabolism to a fat burning metabolism, fat burns off fat.
Following the success of Dr Atkins and his philosophy, Great Ormand Street Children's Hospital carried out a 2 year study with epileptic children with a high protein, low carb diet and it was successful.
The issue with slimming clubs based on calories is that people shed weight and then has soon as they eat has they were before, the weight goes straight back on again. It's a see-saw, up and down and that isn't healthy for the body. Also rapid weight loss increases uric acid levels.
With the Dr Atkins philosophy it is a change of lifestyle and people become a lot more aware of what they're consuming. Also Ketones act has a disinfectant for the body, although most people are not in ketosis all of the time. Everyone could benefit from trying it, I certainly did 20+ years ago.
The issue with Gluten free is that the alternatives are high in oxalates and that impacts upon metabolism stopping people shedding weight.
The plant based diets are toxic due to the amount of oxalates in many of the foods that vegans and vegetarians consume. I'm in the process of reading Sally K Norton's book, "Toxic Superfoods" on oxalates. It's mind blowing and I highly recommend people read it.
Anyway, if you are interested in Dr Giles Yeo's scientific work, (University of Cambridge) this video shares it. The interview is nearly 2 hours and it is full of information. Yeo is an environmentalist and recommends eating 20% less meat. However, British people eat less meat than Americans for two reasons, meat is expensive in the UK, secondly, our plates are far smaller than the American plate. I reduced the meat in my diet and I became quite ill during the menopause, has soon has I reintroduced red meat back into my diet, my health improved.
The fact is that men and women's bodies are different, generally men have a zinc deficiency and women have an iron deficiency. When I looked at a case of Fibroids, I found that women with fibroids had discovered that they were meant to be eating nearly 2/3rds more iron during and after menopause. Also oxalates are involved in Fibroids and oxalates were also found in breast cancer tissues. Oxalates bind to calcium and iron.
Different scientists work on different issues and Dr Giles Yeo is a geneticist. Yeo says that we eat more the older we get, I have to agree to disagree with him on that. A majority of elderly people eat less the older they get. Even more so during a cost of living crisis. Although I admit that in the middle life e.g 50s it does include middle age spread has the body changes with age, it is also more difficult for a majority of people to shed weight and that is related to oxalates that impact upon metabolism.
