Summary: In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show, we discuss how Dr. Rob got started helping people to lose weight and his transition away from using a ketogenic program initially to his current approach. Most weight loss programs focus on intentional caloric restriction, which produce short-term results. However, by focusing only on calories, the results achieved on most "diets" and programs are not sustainable long-term. The "restriction" based approach to weight loss is certainly outdated. Both health care practitioners and even the general public desperately needs to change their mindset. Instead of focusing on "restriction" as the key to weight loss, we need to realize that food is actually "information" to the body that communicates with several hormones and ultimately DNA. It is more complicated then just reducing calories. In fact, obesity in a sense is a form of starvation. Not for macronutrients (carbs, fats and protein), but starvation of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients).
