核心要点
Why Everything You Know About Calories Is Wrong
A 250-pound orangutan burns only 2,050 calories per day-the same as a 65-pound human child. This single fact demolishes our most basic assumptions about metabolism. For decades, we've been told that weight management is simple arithmetic: eat less, move more, burn fat. Yet Herman Pontzer's groundbreaking research with the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania reveals a far stranger truth. Despite walking over ten miles daily and spending hours in strenuous physical labor, these people burn exactly the same number of calories as desk-bound office workers in Manhattan. This isn't a minor discrepancy-it's a complete paradigm shift that forces us to rethink everything from diet culture to evolutionary biology.
