Summary

If you’ve ever struggled to lose weight by cutting calories and exercising more, you’re not alone.

As this week’s returning guest and best-selling author Gary Taubes points out, this outdated thinking isn’t going to help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, as you’ve probably already experienced.

So what will?

A high-fat keto diet.

In this episode, you’ll find out why that is, the mechanisms behind why a keto diet works so well, who this diet is right for, and how specific hormones are affected by a high-fat diet.

Gary also dives into why reducing calories doesn’t work, how obesity is connected to hormone issues, and the science of hunger, among other topics.

Gary Taubes is an investigative health and science journalist and researcher as well as a best-selling author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It, and Good Calories, Bad Calories.

In his latest book, The Case for Keto, Gary explains why we need to rethink weight control, how to do that, and why a low-carb, high-fat diet is the answer.

By tuning into this episode, you’ll have a sneak peek into the principles in his latest book and so much more.

Tune into the episode now to see why cutting calories and exercising more isn’t the key to lose weight and what is instead.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Natural State Podcast. I'm your host Dr. Anthony Guestan. It is
0:10.1	my belief that the natural state of any living organism's health and that our artificial
0:14.4	habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to
0:18.7	dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help
0:23.8	you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive
0:27.8	in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find
0:31.6	out more details and information at Dr. Anthony Guestan.com. This episode is brought to you
0:37.2	by Element or LNNT, which is an electrolyte beverage brand founded by Rob Wolfe, Luis
0:44.2	Villasanore and Tyler Kurt-Witt. Two of three of those guys have actually been on this
0:49.2	show to talk about why they started this company and their background in this space.
0:53.6	The company they have worked with literally thousands of people. These are some of the
0:58.0	most qualified experts that I learned a lot from in the early days of when I was doing
1:03.0	keto and helping research and helped a lot of people. The number one thing that these
1:07.3	guys saw was that people were having extremely hard times switching to low carb because they
1:12.8	were simply not getting enough electrolytes. But as you guys know, I often complain about
1:17.6	the supplement industry is full of absolute trash that people using artificial ingredients,
1:23.3	fillers, sugar, etc. They could not find electrolyte that met their standards, not only from
1:29.2	lack of ingredients, but not having the highest amount of sodium, potassium and magnesium,
1:35.7	that they thought needed to do exist in certain ratios. They launched Element and I drink
1:40.8	them myself daily. I've been a long time user basically since the first day they launched.
1:46.2	Whenever I go back to eating keto or lower carb after eating modern, modern carbs, I need
1:52.7	these things at least a couple of times a day or else I feel like crap, especially in the summertime
