Hi All,
Recently, I've become focused on metabolism and food as it relates to health. I wanted to know the truth about diet and exercise. However, getting to the truth of the matter is very difficult for several reasons:
1) The amount of information of so-called experts who claim they know but do not have the proof to back it up
2) The human body's complexity
3) The amount of food variety
4) The genetic variability that makes one person different from another
Given the above 4 items how do you find out the truth and get to the heart of the matter?
I "stumbled" upon some answers from two holistic doctors on YouTube after much research. Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Eric Berg do a phenomenal job of explaining the complexities of metabolism.
Here is the some of the misinformation that is out there:
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day"
"Never skip a meal"
"The body goes into starvation mode when missing a day of food"
"Fat is bad for you"
"Saturated fat in particular is bad for you"
This video sums up the important points and quotes the New England Journal of Medicine landmark study on intermittent fasting.
