Hunger and Satiety with Dr. Tro Kalayjian - Episode 997 Feb 16, 2018

Show notes

: Episode 997 - Dr. Tro Kalayjian, DO, joins Vinnie this Friday to discuss his NSNG story, starting at 350 lbs, med school nutrition education, hunger and satiety, and more! PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Villa Cappelli Thrive Market DR. TRO KALAYJIAN Tro is a doctor Ivy League med guy Used to have to tell people to lose weight He, however, was 350 lbs himself A little over 5'11" Always a hard conversation for both parties Shame on both sides His colleagues were the most judgmental He didn't know how he ended up so heavy He is a low carb guy Has had great NSNG success himself Has lost over 145 lbs!!! Specialties in obesity, diabetes, nutrition NUTRITION EDUCATION Tro did med school, 3 years of training for internal medicine In the whole of med school, they maybe spent a week on nutrition education WHILE they're learning a bunch of other things On average, med schools only spend 25 hours of nutrition Nothing compared to anything else They spend 500 hours covering most other subjects in med school The nutrition consultations that he did give, he'd say "cut sugar and fat, go see a nutritionist", and that was it Like throwing gas at a fire If a doctor with the best, very extensive, education can't figure out why HE is fat, that's a problem HUNGER AND SATIETY Hunger is the missing link in nutrition Tro would eat and eat and never be full Really, only low carb people talk and analyze hunger, which is great This is a hormonal thing Grelin and leptin control your hunger Many people get fat because they eat because they're always hungry! Sugars and certain oils mess with satiety Hence, more sugar you get, you'll get hungrier Gum chewing releases hormones and opens up your stomach and you'll want to eat more Our livers are not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between real and fake sugar Diet soft drinks are BAD! Hopefully more people will get on the low carb wagon and consider the importance of these hormones Dietitians and nutritionists are the first step
