The Aetiology of Obesity Lectures Sugar is the enemy, not calories When you eat less calories, your energy expenditure (and thus fat/fuel usage) goes down You simply get hungrier Takes time to lose the weight Cortisol is a stress hormone -- encourages getting fat Leptin -- produced by fat cells, regulates how much fat is in the body If you have lots of fat, leptin is released and tells your brain to stop gaining more weight When you are quite fat, your body stops responding to leptin Secondary hormone -- doesn't pass the causal test Ghrelin is another one of these secondary hormones No lasting effect so doesn't pass the causal test FASTING People always ask Vinnie about IM fasting Intermittent fasting should happen every day 3 meals a day -- fast in between literal "break - fast" Snacks don't allow your body to process everything Shorter fasts are not enough Insulin levels not sustainably down We obsess to much about what we are eating, we need to think about when we are eating

VINNIE'S WEEK Just came back from a week of crewing in the desert Vinnie records at least 4 shows a week -- that's quite a lot! Over 450 or some odd episodes up WHAT IS ZONE 2... REALLY? There are 5 zones, although most people only need to think of zones 1-4 Everyone has an anaerobic threshold Zone 5: where your body goes when lactic acid production > lactic acid clearing This is for intense athletes Zone 1: basically walking, maybe a fast walk Zone 2: When you're breathing hard, but can still have a conversation You can get a test in a lab to tell you what your threshold for zone 2 is Poor man's way: take 180, subtract by age, add a few points if you are very active and anywhere in there you are hitting zone 2 (heart rate) Slow up a bit if you are in zone 3, because then you are burning more glycogen than fat If you are looking to PR a marathon, look into some zone 3 and 4 Best way to stay in shape AND burn fat!
