Why Certain Foods Are More Fattening Than Others - Dr. Jason Fung
and you know, it's not the number of calories that you eat. It's what your body does with those calories. So you have to understand that you know, everybody says it's just the amount of calories, it's not the amount because when you put in food energy into your mouth, your body has two options. You can burn it or you can store it, right? So if you burn it, it's fine. You're not going to gain body fat. If you store it, you won't gain body fat. So the problem is not the number of calories. The problem is what you do with those calories. He's so that depends on the hormone particularly insulin and that means that the food you put in your mouth, which stimulate insulin to a different degree. The only thing it means is that certain foods are more fattening than other foods. Like they completely logical conclusion because like we came to this sort of ridiculous thing where we say well a hundred calories of cookies are as fattening as a hundred calories of broccoli. It's like, no, they're nothing to say. Even if you had any brains in your head, you would know that cookies are fattening and broccoli, not fattening, right? Who gets fat eating broccoli like, zero people in history, right? Out of the 7 billion people. I bet you very few, like, not even one I've gotten fat because they ate too much broccoli, right? And I bet you that a lot got eat too many cookies, so if you say okay, well, you know, what's the difference, you eat, a hundred calories of cookies and a hundred pounds of broccoli. The minute you put in your mouth, the insulin response and Your hormonal response is completely different. Therefore, what your body does with those calories is completely different, depending on, you know, that hormonal stimulus and that's the real issue.
