    Is A Calorie Deficit The Most Important Factor For Weight Loss? Docs Review The Twinkie Diet

    📩 Contact us: talkingwithdocs@gmail.com A nutrition professor made headlines after losing about 27 pounds while eating mostly junk food like Twinkies for 10 weeks. Sounds impossible, but there is real science behind it. In this episode, the doctors break down why weight loss comes down to calories in versus calories out, based on the laws of thermodynamics. Food quality absolutely matters for health, energy, and long-term success, but without a true calorie deficit, weight loss simply does not happen. We explain how this experiment worked, what it proves, and why it does not mean junk food is a healthy strategy, even if the scale goes down. You’ll learn: - Why calorie deficit drives weight loss regardless of food type - How the laws of thermodynamics apply to body weight - Why food quality still matters for health and sustainability - The difference between short-term weight loss and long-term health - What people often misunderstand about “junk food diets” - If you are confused by mixed messages about dieting, clean eating, and calories, this episode helps separate weight loss science from nutrition myths. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEjictC41CCS1z2AVKe Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/talking-with-docs/id1799242189 YouTube Music: • TWD Podcast 👕 Shop Our MERCH: https://www.spreadshirt.ca/shop/user/talking+with+docs/ ❤️ Support Oakville Hospital: https://donate.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com 📱 Follow Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingwithdocs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithdocs/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Talking-with-Docs-100066771782727/ 🛑 DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

    Is Your Pain In Your Head? Some Of It May be

You’ll learn: - Why pain can exist even without visible tissue damage - How the nervous system can amplify or sustain pain - The difference between structural pain and sensitized pain - Why stress, trauma, and emotions can affect physical symptoms - When imaging tests fail to explain ongoing pain - What a whole-body approach to pain actually means If you have been struggling with pain that does not seem to match your scans or diagnosis, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a better way to understand what your body is telling you. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEjictC41CCS1z2AVKe Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/talking-with-docs/id1799242189 YouTube Music: • TWD Podcast 👕 Shop Our MERCH: https://www.spreadshirt.ca/shop/user/talking+with+docs/ ❤️ Support Oakville Hospital: https://donate.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com 📱 Follow Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingwithdocs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithdocs/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Talking-with-Docs-100066771782727/ 🛑 DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
