The 1960s saw the beginning of the massive commercialization of dieting in the U.S. That's when a New York housewife named Jean Nidetch began hosting friends at her home to talk about their issues with weight and dieting. Nidetch was a self-proclaimed cookie lover who had struggled for years to slim down. Her weekly meetings helped her so much-she lost 72 lb. in about a year-that she ultimately turned those living-room gatherings into a company called Weight Watchers. When it went public in 1968, she and her co-founders became millionaires overnight. Nearly half a century later, Weight Watchers remains one of the most commercially successful diet companies in the world, with 3.6 million active users and $1.2 billion in revenue in 2016.
Great article once again Dr. Fung. One quick question. It's a good thing our bodies can adapt to fat burning relatively quickly, but I was wondering about efficiency. If I'm doing a lot of HIIT, can the oxidation of fat produce energy at the same (or better) rate as sugar? Are there any studies that compare this? The anecdotal evidence by some of the comments suggests yes, but it would be interesting to know what's been tested.
Unfortunately, alcohol is not very detox and weight loss friendly. The body actually views alcohol as a toxin as when we drink it, our bodies will prioritize metabolizing the alcohol ahead of all the other energy sources. This means that when you drink alcohol, all the other calories you drink or eat will become stored as fat. To say nothing of the empty calories you consume, and how alcohol will cause dehydration and fatigue.
