Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AMA 03 - New Food Guide Pyramid, Calories, Seed Oils, Hypertrophy and More

Q: Where do you stand on genetics and obesity? Do you see a time where macro adjustments are necessary based on genetic variants?

Genetics matter for obesity and there's heritability involved. However, we're not at the point where we can adjust macros based on genetic variants yet, as studies show diets don't significantly differ in outcomes based on insulin response.

AMA 03 - New Food Guide Pyramid, Calories, Seed Oils, Hypertrophy and More

Q: What do you suggest to lose weight if I already tried Carbon Diet Coach and counting calories feels like a full-time job?

You need to make some sacrifice or form of restriction to modify body composition. You can restrict a dietary element, a time element, or do conscious tracking. Each requires some sacrifice, but tracking can allow you to enjoy the foods you like.

Building Muscle Masterclass: Protein and Lifting with Dr. Stu Phillips

Q: What is one thing that you believed in strongly that you changed your mind on with evidence?

The importance of protein, which I think matters a whole lot less than I once thought.

AMA 02 - Collagen, Fiber, Muscle Growth, Training, and More

Q: What are the differences between men and women in terms of proper nutrition and building muscle?

While there are physiological differences, both genders generally respond similarly to resistance training and do not need vastly different dietary strategies.

AMA 02 - Collagen, Fiber, Muscle Growth, Training, and More

Q: Do any non-diabetics ever need to worry about sugar consumption if overall calories are controlled?

Sugar consumption isn't a major concern if calories are controlled, but it's advisable to avoid low satiety foods that are high in sugar when trying to lose fat.
