Why dietary fat is fattening, and when it’s not. Recently, I wrote an article entitled Reducing stress in the hypothalamus – is this the best way to decrease body fat?

Why dietary fat is fattening, and when it’s not.

In that article, I discussed how inflammation of the brain’s body-fat regulator – or ‘fat thermostat’ – is of critical importance for weight management. In this article, I discuss how certain dietary patterns affect inflammation in the fat thermostat, as well as short-and-longer term outcomes of different diet types. At the end of the article, I consider how to reflect this study against broad dietary choices we make, and I also link to a recent radio show where I answer audience questions about health and weight control with Robb Wolf and Stephan Guyenet, PhD. Remember from the first article that if the fat thermostat becomes insensitive to signals it relies on to keep the quantity of body fat stable, then the result is that fat mass gets ratcheted up to a new, higher stable point. So, what diet properties affect the sensitivity of the fat thermostat? Whole fresh tubers. Joint Pain, From the Gut.

Leaky gut—intestinal hyperpermeability - Don't feed the beast—running from inflammation

Intestinal yeast overgrowth, over-use of antibiotics, deficiency in digestive enzymes, overuse of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and antacids, high sugar and refined flour diets can compromise the intestinal wall enough that it is unable to keep out large molecules (bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested protein, fat and waste) not normally absorbed into the bloodstream. In other words, leaky gut is exactly what it sounds like. The intestinal tract can be compared to a mesh, which only lets nutrients of a certain size through. The nutrients then pass into the hepatic portal blood vessels, which bring nutrients to the liver for detoxification.
