Show Notes
- Obesity is not caused by lack of exercise, as people in wealthier nations burn more calories daily yet still gain more fat
- Eating ultraprocessed foods is strongly linked to higher body fat because they disrupt hunger signals and make calories easier to store
- Body fat percentage, not BMI, is the most accurate way to measure obesity and related health risks
- Modern ultraprocessed diets and lower immune demands in industrialized countries lower resting energy needs, making fat storage more likely
- You can restore your metabolism by removing vegetable oils, eating the right carbs for your gut health, reducing estrogen and EMF exposure, and avoiding ultraprocessed foods
