If you looked at it kind of like a sports team, there were 31 times that low carb has won,

31 times that they've technically drawn, and then zero times has low fat ever won.

So, you know, you're going to bet on the fact that low carb is going to win.

Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast. I'm your host, Ivor Cummins.

We're supported by the Irish Heart Disease Awareness charity,

So know your score and take action to prevent that premature heart attack everything you need to know

uk or phcuk dot org so great to see you again sam always Always a pleasure, I bet. Indeed.

And you know what I thought we'd start off with?

Because we'll get into the whole, let's say, struggles and endeavors to get better diets and dietary guidelines across the world.

But first, I'd like to touch again on what we talked about a few years ago, your personal experimentation with lower carb and higher carb and what kind of happened for you?

So, it was, I can't believe it, it was actually like 2013 that this was, it's like six years ago now, but it's still fairly relevant, these self-experiments that I did.

But I essentially over ate by twice the amount of food that I usually do, so about

6,000 calories just under.

And on this first experiment, I was overeating by pretty much 3,000 calories a day, totaling 6,000

calories consumption a day.

I did it for three weeks on a low carburel food diet.

And over those three weeks, I gained only 1.3 kilograms, but actually lost three centimeters

from my waist.

But the calorie formula says that I should have gained 6.1 kilograms.

So it was quite a discrepancy there.
