How can we lose fat WITHOUT hunger?
Why is “eat less, exercise more” terrible advice for most people?
What’s the difference between starving yourself and intermittent fasting?
To help us navigate these questions and then some, returning to the show this week is award-winning investigative science writer, speaker and bestselling author, Gary Taubes.
Gary studied applied physics at Harvard University, aerospace engineering at Stanford, and journalism at Columbia University.
And fortunately for all of us, Gary has dedicated his work as of late to tearing down conventional nutritional theory with his research lectures and books, including a few titles, you’ve probably heard of, “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” “Why We Get Fat,” “The Case Against Sugar,” and his new book that we’ll be talking about today, “The Case for Keto.”
If you’re ready to finally ditch hunger and transform into a fat-burning machine, this is the show for you.
We’re talking about…
- The differences between intermittent fasting and starving yourself
- A simple strategy to shed fat without hunger
- How much to color outside the lines when it comes to carbs
- Issues with the “eat less, exercise more” dogma
- How to flip the switch and start burning fat for fuel
- And much more…
Where To Find Gary Taubes
You can find Gary’s books, articles, interviews and more over at GaryTaubes.com.
He’s on Twitter @garytaubes as well as on Facebook, and Linkedin.
Gary Taubes’ latest book, The Case For Keto, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, Powell’s, Penguin Random House, and is available as an audiobook as well.
Be sure to check out Gary’s other books, including Good Calories, Bad Calories, Why We Get Fat, and The Case Against Sugar.
Gary says that the next book he’s working on is an obesity-related book covering the history of obesity science, and thinking of causality—this idea of energy balance thinking, the idea that obese people overeat, they take in more calories than they expand, how that came about, and how it infected and turned pathological, and all the science that came afterwards.
He says that since the Second World War, researchers who think they’re studying obesity are just studying eating behavior. They’re not even studying obesity anymore. And they just assume that somehow, eating behavior is causal, and they don’t realize that that’s never been really tested and is a failed hypothesis.
“So, I want to do that book,” Gary says. “And then, by that time, I’ll hopefully have gotten both kids through college, assuming they get off Fortnite long enough to go.”
Once again, be sure to check out Gary Taubes’ over at GaryTaubes.com, and grab a copy of his newest book The Case For Keto.

yes its a very nice delicious.
Shedding fat without hunger! I didn’t know if it was a thing but definitely this deserves a try. Thanks for sharing
Regards,
I don’t know if this is really good. But I will definitely give it a try.
Nothing new here. Gary Taubes has been proven wrong time after time and needs to bow out gracefully. He talks a lot about the “science” of keto yet won’t mention that the actual foundation he started to do keto studies has produced results that counteract what he claims.
i think there is a role for keto as a heuristic to help control calorie intake and evaluate one’s eating habits. There may even be a mechanism for those with more severe obesity and/or who are suffering from insulin resistance. However there is no evidence to support that for the average person who maybe only needs to drop a few pounds will somehow be better off by avoiding all carbs. Even if you are “fat adapted”, if you eat a diet high in fat then your body will first that first before burning your body fat, and it will convert any excess calories into body fat.
Abel’s podcast has pointed me in the direction of some great ideas and people and really helped me start a journey to a healthier lifestyle, but listening to this episode reminded me of why I don’t listen to keto advocates anymore. I think in 2016/17 we all drank the koolaid and wanted to believe, but that time has passed.
I don’t know if this method works? Thanks Abel James for sharing this
