Welcome! Thank you for listening.
What is a whole food? What is a clean food? Those terms are thrown around with authority and ultimately blend into just food. If you ask most people on a diet, they will throw out that they are eating 1200 calories a day. That seems to be the magic number that has stuck in the diet world. Apps are available that helps one to prove a point. They are only as good as what is entered. I have never had a person tell me that they consumed 3000 calories in a day, but I am sure it happens on a regular basis and more often than 1200 calories. What about the weight of food? Does a pound of chips have the same amount of energy as a pound of potatoes? What about a pound of carrots.
It turns out that vegetables, tubers, and fruit contain about the right amount of calories per pound for humans to consume and maintain a healthy weight. It also turns out that we as a society do not burn near the calories as a typical hunter-gatherer society. It is also true that men burn more calories per pound of body weight than women.
I hope you enjoy the episode. It you would like help matching your energy consumption with your energy usage, email me at jami@doctordulaney.com.
