Giles Yeo: 我认为简单的卡路里计算方法是不可靠的。它只关注食物的能量含量,而忽略了不同食物对身体的独特影响以及营养成分的差异。我们应该关注不同食物对身体的代谢作用,以及如何根据个人的基因和环境因素选择适合自己的饮食方案。我个人比较注重在家做饭,这样可以更好地控制食物的质量和成分,避免摄入过多的加工食品。 关于减肥饮食,我认为没有一种放之四海而皆准的方案。适合自己的才是最好的。关键在于找到一种自己能够坚持下去,并且享受的饮食方式。 关于卡路里限制和间歇性禁食,我认为动物实验表明卡路里限制可以延长寿命,但对人类是否适用以及如何实施仍需进一步研究。间歇性禁食是一种有效的减肥方法,可能还有一些额外的代谢益处,这可能与我们祖先的饮食习惯有关。 对于GLP-1激动剂,我认为它们是目前为止最有效、最安全的治疗肥胖症的药物,但并非人人适用。它们可以改变食欲和奖励机制,但不能解决肥胖症的根本原因。我们需要同时改善饮食和生活方式,并进行运动,才能保持健康。 我的研究重点是绘制人类大脑中控制食欲的神经回路图谱,这有助于我们更好地理解肥胖症的机制,并开发更有效的治疗方法。 总而言之,我认为肥胖不是个人的错,而是基因、环境和生活方式等多种因素共同作用的结果。我们需要采取个性化的策略,才能有效地管理体重和改善健康状况。 Robert Lufkin: 作为一名医生,我关注到美国以及其他国家肥胖率居高不下。我们讨论了各种流行的减肥方法,包括生酮饮食、植物性饮食、动物性饮食和间歇性禁食,以及它们对减肥和健康的潜在影响。我们还探讨了GLP-1激动剂等药物在治疗肥胖症方面的作用,以及它们对食欲、奖励机制和整体健康的影响。此外,我们还讨论了卡路里限制、间歇性禁食以及它们对寿命和健康的影响。最后,我们还探讨了利用人工智能技术提供个性化健康饮食建议的可能性,以及如何通过改善饮食、生活方式和进行运动来改善健康状况。

Chapters
Dr. Yeo explains that while the laws of physics regarding energy remain true, calorie counting is a simplistic approach to weight management that ignores crucial nutritional aspects. Different foods affect the body differently, making calorie equivalence misleading.
  • Calorie counting is one-dimensional and nutritionally blind.
  • Different foods require varying levels of energy expenditure to process.
  • The nutritional content, not just the calorie count, is crucial.

Shownotes Transcript

Dr. Giles Yeo, Cambridge University Professor, author of "Why Calories Don't Count," and Chief Science Advisor at Rio demolishes weight management myths with scientific precision and personal warmth. This mind-shifting conversation reveals why blaming people for obesity fundamentally misunderstands human biology. Full disclosure: I am also an advisor for Rio but I only work with companies I believe in and would use for myself and my family.Bold scientific insights abound as Dr. Yeo reveals why simple calorie counting fails. Rather than fixating on calories, he advocates understanding how different foods affect our bodies uniquely, making a compelling case for cooking at home with quality ingredients as his personal health strategy.The discussion ventures into today's most transformative weight management tools, with Dr. Yeo describing GLP-1 medications as the most effective treatment options he's encountered in 30 years of obesity research. These medications signal fullness to the brain, but surprisingly affect other reward-seeking behaviors too - from alcohol consumption to addictive tendencies. The conversation explores fascinating frontiers in brain science, including Dr. Yeo's groundbreaking work mapping human hypothalamus feeding circuits, and examines how AI-assisted health applications might revolutionize personalized nutrition. Throughout, his compassionate message resonates: obesity isn't a character flaw - it's the result of biological and environmental factors that require understanding, not judgment. Discover why this disco-dancing geneticist believes personalized approaches, not quick fixes, are the future of health optimization.
