Ben Greenfield Fitness: Diet, Fat Loss And Performance

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/hungercode On this episode, I got to geek out with Dr. Jason Fung and unravel why calorie counting alone doesn’t explain our weight struggles. Dr. Fung used jaw-dropping stats—like nearly identical calorie consumption between nations with wildly different obesity rates—to illustrate how hormones, digestion, and even the microbiome play a much bigger role than just numbers.  We also broke down the three types of hunger—homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned—and explored how ultra-processed foods hijack our biology. Dr. Fung shared that ditching those foods is his top strategy for conquering hunger, while I revealed how staying busy and using GLP-1s can help curb appetite during fasting or travel.  Dr. Jason Fung is a physician (kidney specialist), researcher and New York Times best-selling author currently practicing in Toronto, Canada. trained in Los Angeles and Toronto and currently practices as a nephrologist (kidney specialist).
