Do calories matter or is it all about hormones like insulin? In this video I break down the calorie debate through a long discussion between Dr. Mike and Jason Fung and explain why so many arguments about calories miss the real issue.
Calories do not cause obesity. They are the measurement of the food that led to weight gain. Hormones influence hunger and behavior, but regardless of the mechanism, body weight still reflects how much energy is consumed over time. Calories are a tool, not a moral judgment and not the only way to lose weight.
I explain why claims that calories do not matter usually circle back to admitting that they do, why insulin does not shut off fat burning, and why approaches like fasting, keto, and calorie tracking can all work or fail depending on sustainability.
