8. The Carbs Vs. Fats Debate The Five Elements Podcast
-
- Fitness
Coach Dylan & Coach Sam get into the highly contentious debate of carbs vs. fats. They touch on their experience, having both previously fallen prey to one camp or another. Afterwards, they dig into the research and provide practical tips for how to approach your diet without needlessly restricting any particular macronutrient.
Roses and Thorns:
Sam’s COVID lockdown fatigue, fatphobic phrases & gratitude for the complex crux of life
Dylan's infinite struggle with consistent meditation & the frustration that comes with slow progress
The Meat & Potatoes:
Past Sam's search for the magic, secret diet hack: how she got into high carb no fat vegan, vegan keto, & raw vegan
The need to "cut something out" in order to lose weight
Past Dylan's search for the magic, secret diet hack: how he got into low carb, high carb, metabolic typing & organic everything
Why they avoid nutrition advice from charlatans & diet gurus
Why you shouldn't take nutrition advice from Gwyneth Paltrow
The power of nebulous terms & false diagnoses in marketing
Research Review of Kevin Hall's "Obesity Energetics: Bodyweight Regulation and the Effects of Diet Composition"
A meta-analysis of 32 controlled feeding (metabolic ward) studies of 534 diverse participants
Calories & protein were matched between all subjects
On average, the Higher Carb Lower Fat diets were shown to be better
Why this result is statistically significant, but practically meaningless
Fat Oxidation: why this term is extremely misunderstood & totally misused in marketing
The power of mechanistic overreaching: EPOC/"afterburn effect", intermittent fasting, insulin
The power of understanding energy balance, thermogenesis
Why getting attached to a specific nutritional or dietary ideology leads us astray from biology & science
How should you be eating?
Sam's experience with a low/no fat diet: hormones, low satiety
Sam's experience with a low carb diet: low energy for training, PCOS
Why we don't seem to do well with extremes
How to factor in satiety
Meeting your fat intake minimum (1g per kg of BW)
Meeting your protein intake minimum (1g per lb of BW)
Why partitioning/budgeting your macros properly matters most during a fat-loss phase
Research will never tell us what *everyone* should do
The importance of trial and error
Fat-loss never comes down to cutting out a macronutrient
The intersection of toxic diet culture
Why we all deserve the ability to feed ourselves with ease & confidence
How it always comes back to no extremes, just the unsexy combination of balance & moderation
The power of habit
Why we all need a manageable level of cognitive restraint
If weight loss were easy - our species wouldn't exist
