One of the problems with weight loss goals is saying, you need to cut calories in order to get there. Now, I'm not saying calories don't matter. They are relevant, but not the most relevant, and I'm going to talk about evidence to support that.

Steven Bartlett (1:18)

Someone is listening at home now, and they have the goal of losing some weight, they want to be in a better physique, be more healthy. Is this conversation going to help them accomplish those goals?

Benjamin Bikman (1:28)

I'll make sure that they get what they need.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman is one of the world's leading metabolic and fat cell scientists. And now he's returned to expose some of the myths surrounding weight loss.

Steven Bartlett (1:38)

And the surprising impact that one particular hormone has on our weight, brain and mental health.

Benjamin Bikman (1:43)

As a metabolic scientist, I wouldn't want someone to think there is only one way to lose weight. However, I think this is the most practical and simplest strategy, a ketogenic diet. The huge reason is that when you cut carbs, insulin comes down. And insulin as a hormone is the one metabolic hormone to rule them all. Insulin will tell every single cell of the body what it needs to do with energy. And insulin is so determined to store energy that it is directing calories to be stored in tissues like fat or in the liver.

Steven Bartlett (2:13)

It can make you fat.

Benjamin Bikman (2:14)

Yeah. But there's more. Ketones are the brain's preferred fuel. It can control anxiety, improve depression. It can help with attention. In fact, the benefits of ketones are so extensive that companies are finding ways so you can drink ketones.

Steven Bartlett (2:26)

And I have a bunch of different exogenous ketone products here, a variety of different brands. And a bunch of other things here on the table. So what the hell is this?

Benjamin Bikman (2:32)

If someone is interested in a good smart way of losing weight, try that.

Steven Bartlett (2:36)

This is definitely a prop. It tastes like bleach.

Benjamin Bikman (2:39)

I'm so sorry. Oh my God.

So the 2026 to be the year where I finally get a grip of my health and I asked you to make the perfect plan. What would you prescribe? So first of all, just give me 30 seconds of your time.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman. At this time of year, the audience that are listening right now are thinking a lot about health and dietary changes that they can make to make 2026 the best year of their life, to finally be able to kick that habit. And one of the things that's front of mind, I think for all of my listeners, is their relationship with sugar, with carbs, and I guess the second order things that some people might know something about, like insulin resistance and all these kinds of subjects. At this particular moment in the year, if you had the ear of millions of people as they're coming into 2026, what is the most important thing that you would say to them?
