Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):What you're getting wrong about counting calories: - Eat 160 calories of almonds and you absorb 130 - Soluble and insoluble fiber form a gel inside your intestine that blocks the other 30 - Those 30 travel down to your microbiome and your bacteria eat them - Your bacteria turn them into short-chain fatty acids: acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate. Anti-inflammatory and protective against chronic metabolic disease Count the calories at your intestinal brush border, not at your lips. @RobertLustigMD on @hubermanlab
