Listener Questions
1. Marrel (dave)
My question is about carbs and calories. It seems like a lot of people are saying carbs make you fat. Okay, I get that, but what confuses me is that so many people act like if you cut out carbs you can eat as much as you want. I’ve heard Gary Taubes say this before and it seems like you could still get fat from eating too many calories from fat. I’m not a fat person, but I want to be leaner and I love to eat. If I don’t eat any carbs, can I eat as much protein and fat as I want?
2. Randy
Why should you avoid omega-3 eggs? You mentioned somewhere in the comments that you should avoid omega-3 eggs. Why is this?
3. Chuck
Hey Armi,
What’s the difference between what Taubes and Steven Guyenet are arguing about?
4. Chuck
Yo! Have you read the China Study? Can you describe what it apparently said, in your next podcast? That would add a lot of clarity.
5. Johan
In my local gym I often see people doing deadlifts in two different ways. One way is to have your knees in between your hands and have the knees directly over your toes. The other way i see people doing them is with their knees outside of their hands. I’ve tried both, and it feels easier to do it with my knees outside of my hands. Is there a proper way to deadlift, or does it make any difference?
6. Sheilagh (dave)
Great work! In the event that one is low-carb, what are the issues with mushrooms? Particularly medicinal ones like Reish, Cordyceps, maitake, or Shiitake? Their digestive enzymes may be beneficial, at least for those who can tolerate them.
7. Jonathan
Boosting your immune system. I heard your interview on the Speculist podcast where you recommended taking vitamin D3 for this. Is this in addition to, instead of, or superseded by grapefruit seed extract?
