Summary
I am SO pumped about today's Book Club episode! This might be one of my very favorite podcast episodes! Today we're diving into the book "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes.
In this book you'll learn what drives insatiable hunger, what decreases satiety, makes us feel tired and unmotivated and what triggers us to store more fat than we should (and burn less fat than we should).
The book is definitely worth the read and Taubes goes deep into both history & science. But don't worry, if you don't have the time or desire to go through the whole book, I want to share the highlights with you today!
I really think this episode is a game changer packed with super helpful information about how we can store less fat and burn more fat!

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Menden. |
| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and doing |
| 0:14.4 | so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:24.2 | Hello everybody, is it weird that I wanted to kick off this episode by singing |
| 0:29.6 | Hello my friends, hello, I'm turning into my mother. That is really scary. |
| 0:34.6 | Anyway, oh boy, I am Elizabeth Menden and if this is your first time listening to the |
| 0:40.0 | Primal Potential podcast, I promise you that I don't sing on every episode. In fact, |
| 0:44.4 | that might be the first time. Anyway, we are diving into honestly what might be my favorite episode. |
| 0:53.7 | Seriously, I'm not, you know, where this is 240 and I numbered them wrong, so we're really, |
| 0:58.9 | it's really about 25 or 30 more than that because I used to not number the Q and A episodes. |
| 1:03.4 | So the fact that I think this might be my favorite is saying a lot. Here's the deal. |
| 1:09.1 | Way back in episode 137, crazy, over 100 episodes ago, I did my first book club episode |
| 1:17.3 | where I featured the book Always Hungry by Dr. David Ludwig and I did that to give you the |
| 1:24.0 | highlights of what I thought was a really great book. I love to read and I read a lot, but not |
| 1:30.3 | everything I read is awesome, not everything I read is even good, but because I feel so close to |
| 1:35.6 | you guys and obviously I do because I just sang to you to open the show, but anyway, when I read |
| 1:41.7 | something that I think is really great and powerful, I want to share it with you, right? |
| 1:46.8 | I know that not all of you will have the time or the desire to read the book all the way through, |
| 1:51.9 | so I figure I can take 30 minutes or so and share with you what I felt were the most helpful, |
| 1:58.0 | interesting or impactful things within the book. I've done a few more book club episodes since then, |
| 2:04.5 | some of them weren't even related to fat loss, but I thought there were a lot of crossovers |
