Obesity and AMPK
January 11, 2022
During the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been easy to overlook our other ongoing pandemic of obesity. Currently, the debate on the cause of obesity reminds me of the old Miller Lite commercial with the two groups of ex-athletes screaming “less filling” or “great taste” at each other to explain their reason for drinking a light beer. Today in obesity research, scientists are screaming “eat less” or “reduce carbs” as their mantras to overcome obesity. Scientifically speaking, the “reduce carbs” group states that the Carbohydrate-Insulin model of obesity is the real cause of the problem (1,2). On the other hand, the “eat less” group contends that the scientific evidence for the Carbohydrate-Insulin model doesn’t exist, and to lose weight, you must consume fewer calories. (3,4).
