Dr. BJ Fogg joined me on The Doctor’s Farmacy to talk about the myth of “eat less and exercise more”, and why “calories in, calories out” is not the secret to weight loss.
Dr. Fogg is a behavior scientist with deep experience in innovation and teaching. For the past 20 years at Stanford University, he has directed a research lab and he also teaches his models and methods in graduate seminars. BJ has personally coached over 40,000 people in forming new habits, using his breakthrough method called “Tiny Habits.” His New York Times bestselling book, Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything, was published in early 2020 and is contracted to be published in over 25 languages.

This “Interview” became interesting only when you started talking. Clearly Dr. Fogg hasn’t been a subscriber!
You cannot outrun a bad diet.
You have to create a calorie deficit to loose weight. There are many ways to do that, but people need to find out for themselves what works for them. Technical details to nutritional quality will probably just confuse people.
The best way is to find a way to create a calorie deficit that you can maintain every day without too much trouble. You want something effective and manageable, that’s the sweet spot. But it’s different for everyone and you need to try things out to find out for yourself what works. Don’t go crazy and over do it. Don’t be so nonchalant that you never get results. Find a middle ground that is manageable and the food tastes good. Have patience, especially if/when you think you have plateaued.
It ain’t just calories. Someone (forget who) pointed out the closer to your ideal weight the closer a calorie is a calorie becomes to truth. But for obese people, nope. But as he said, sugars and spiking insulin ain’t good (and even Dr vegan Greger warns about danger).
Please share what degree you hold that qualifies you to contradict what these two doctors are saying.
@Shannon Miller the degree of life experience where I have successfully lost weight through nutrition and exercise. Go watch dr Hymans talks and you will see he and other “degreed” people all disagree with each other when it comes to nutrition. Many of them are way off. This is mainly due to science is still learning about nutrition. Having a degree is not a qualification to talk about nutrition, exercise, and weight loss.
This. You can do keto, vegan, high carbs or carnivore diet as long as you consume less than you burn throughout the day and you are able to stick with the diet.
