Giles Yeo is such an eloquent and entertaining presenter! Thank you for the update! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I once knew 2 identical twin brothers. That is, they were identical until one stayed thin as a rake while the other filled out to hefty proportions. Since we weren't that close, I never mentioned it or asked what happened, but it still puzzles me.

Sound of audience is anoying.

This was great. A fair summary in general. I'm vegan but i dont advertise it as healthier than other diets. In it for the ethics. There is sooo much diet BS in circulation. I thought he leant a little to much towards weight determinism, but im still 15 mins from fin.

Would love to have him at my dinner table

He's referring to kcal i.e. the dietary calorie. I've seen him do a similar talk where he clarified that difference

What about the bioavailability of the fat in that piece of meat? You may absorb only 70% of the protein, but the meat is only partially protein. And some sources like egg whites have greater bioavailability. But if we absorb more, say of refined starch, why don’t we eat less of that food instead of more? Maybe he’ll answer that in last seven minutes.

He did another talk where he answered that, pretty sure you'll find it if you look up his name on KZread

About 20% protein in meat. Bioavailability also change depending on how you prepare food.

@@forrestfey How does this apply to my question about why we don’t choose to eat less of refined starch, since it doesn’t have the protein we need? Sorry if I am confused. Ty

That is a gross misrepresentation of leanest livable weight. It doesn’t mean live at the lowest weight to keep you alive; it means live with the lowest weight that you find sustainable by being able to eat food in a satisfactory amount instead of eating as much as you can. Theoretically, with the exact right intake of nutrients, almost everybody could live at a low level of BMI, but for many people it would be in excruciating life. This doctor has said in other places that the diet that works is the one you can stick to. That is not news, of course, but it is good to be reminded out. She simply said find one that you are happy with and that sticking to takes you to the smallest size that you can be happy with. I’m pretty sure Gwyneth Paltrow would not be advocating any kind of regime that used a lot of low nutrition food in order to live at that weight even if a person did find it sustainable. That will be in the normal BMI range; or others it might be in the overweight one or even the obese one. But given the statistics of the rise in average weight, it’s pretty clear that it used to be perfectly livable to sustain lower weights on average than we do now.

Aside from the fact that she's basically a full on pusher for quackery these days, the main problem of "striving to live at the lowest weight (that you can sustain and makes you happy)" is the problem of a dangerous slide towards pathological body image. By believing that "thinner is better" you are driving an ideology that induces happiness on the expense of actual health. You can theoretically live at "borderline" health - that is, you do not cause noticeable illnesses to yourself but also not possessing an athletic physique to take you to a better health - and condition yourself to be happier about the former than the latter, despite the fact that the latter objectively gives your better health. The entire idea of "within range, thinner is better" is just a very dangerous slippery slope and there's absolutely no reason to get anywhere close to it.

@Alice Amell I can see your interpretation (and unfortunately, the interpretation of many who might hear the message), yet for me WITHIN YOUR MEANS is the qualifier that I believe changes the perspective. That "means" is not often the thinnest/lightest "possible" and may even be what is considered overweight or even obese. I admit that many listening to her may not understand and accept that. Cheers!

@@zxbc1 I actually agree with rejecting the idea that the thinnest version of the range is the best. In fact, having a weight goal seems irrelevant to be unless there is some specific condition that a weight change alone would rectify, but I think that is rarely true. I still say that "within your means" allows for choosing to live at a higher weight than the culture pushes and certainly higher than a body's range.
