field of diet and health with a particular interest and expertise in
public dietary guidelines.
In
the first video below, she looks at the research that supposedly supported the current dietary guidelines regarding saturated fat. Her analysis reveals that there is no substantial evidence to support a causal link between saturated fat in the the diet and coronary disease.

Jeff Volek, Ph.D. explains how obesity
is a condition of excess fat accumulation in adipocytes where the person
is literally stuck in storage mode diverting a disproportionate amount of
calories into fat cells as opposed to oxidation. Thus it is more
productive to think of obesity as a problem in 'energy flow' rather than
energy expenditure (i.e., calories in, calories out). This presentation
discusses the physiologic effects of very low carbohydrate diets with an
emphasis on their unique effects on both features of metabolic syndrome
and human performance.
