Morphus podcast

Myths around women and fasting...
-no reason women should not fast
-men & women have same digestion & metabolic systems
There are differences in weight loss and behaviors
-men often lose weight more quickly
but hormonally: insulin & ghrelin work pretty much the same
"Most of our program is women fasting"

Estrogens & progesterone not really affected
by fasting
So affect weight management a lot
Example: before puberty, boys & girls very similar in
-weight and body fat
After puberty: boys, due to testosterone, gain muscle
-girls, due to estrogen, gain body fat
-gain 50% more body fat
"Why would people think it is all about
CALORIES & WILL POWER???"
-body only responds to hormones

Same idea at menopause...
-due to estrogen & progesterone, many have weight issues
Studies show perimenopause is worst one
-highest amount of ghrelin in this period
Focus on calories is detrimental
-trainers imply it is all about will power
"Look at puberty, or at injecting insulin...
doesn't matter how much will power!"
-When ghrelin is high, you will be HUNGRY
-like your doctor, the gurus love to blame
the victim--YOU
