SH61: How All Diets Work

Is losing weight really about eating fewer calories than you burn?

Is it possible to both feel full and lose weight?

In this episode, the humans discuss the hormonal theory of obesity; covering why people don’t become overweight because they overeat (Obesity is unintuitively a form of malnutrition) and the mechanism that every successful weight management program uses to lose body fat.

Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
