Download MP3

Obesity rates have tripled in one generation despite top-level guidance to eat less and exercise more. It’s evident that a new approach is needed, shifting away from a narrow focus on calories and willpower and embracing a strategy centered on satiety and nutrient density. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt to discuss his revolutionary satiety-per-calorie approach to combating the obesity and metabolic health crisis. In this episode, Dr. Eenfeldt shares how ultra-processed food fuels overconsumption and why curating our diets around whole foods rich in protein and fiber is key to preventing overeating. They also discuss the least and most satiating foods, the role of hedonic factors, why the total quantity and quality of food matters, and so much more. 

Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, popularly known as Dr. E, is a Swedish medical doctor specializing in family medicine and treating patients with low-carb, high-fat diets. During that time he witnessed amazing success for people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. 

Dr. E is the founder and CEO of one of the world’s fastest-growing low-carb and keto websites, Diet Doctor, with over 350,000 daily visits. He is also the author of the number one bestseller in nutrition, Low Carb, High Fat Food Revolution: Advice and Recipes to Improve Your Health and Reduce Your Weight, which has been translated into eight languages, including English.
