Welcome to the Kito Camp podcast. This week's quote is we give people this really horrific advice to eat less and move more and when they fail, we blame them for it. Welcome back to the Kito Camp podcast. I'm your host Benazotti,

founder of Kito Camp. On today's show we have Dr. Jason Fung, who is a leader, a pioneer in the fasting,

low-carb space, and he's going to talk about the failed and much flawed approach of counting calories, eating less, moving more, and how

it's just doing much, much more harm than it is helping us in any sense.

For me personally, I came out of the personal training space

and for years I promoted the Eat Less Move More dogma,

and I realized that this does not work. It only works short term never works long term. In fact, I've seen a 99.99% failure rate long term.

We cannot confuse the body.

The body is much smarter than a calculation.

You see, the human body is not a calculator.

The human body is not a math equation.

The human body is a complex chemistry lab and we needed to treat it as such.

Calories are part of the equation but they're not that important.

What's really important is the hormonal and metabolic response from those calories.

And in this episode, this quote of the week here from Dr. Jason Fong, he's going to break down

what happened with the biggest loser contestants and if you've seen that TV show it was very popular and

Jillian and Michael's and Bob Harper I believe his name is he was the they were the host and they were the trainers and they have these

amazing transformations on that show and they followed this calories and calories out approach.

But what happened they all gained the way back they erect their metabolism and he says there's never a biggest

loser reunion show and it's so true we need a step away from this energy

expenditure hypothesis which is just a huge distraction from what really matters which is

the hormones which is the cell metabolism and you're going to love this quote
