That nutrition prof. literally ate Junk food for 10 weeks and lost 27 pounds and enhanced his biological health markers... his opinion piece was disproven 12 years before he posted it

Do this for a year and I'll visit you by your hospital bed. "I put crude biofuel in my diesel engine and I could drive a whole 10KM problem free with it! Lets ignore all my valves getting clogged if I drive 10KM more"

It’s funny how many low carb or keto advocates will say you cannot lose weight when you’re insulin resistant. They all act like the reason they can’t lose weight is some mythical insulin resistance they haven’t even measured. Yet at 402 pounds you lost weight successfully while eating carbs and you definitely would of had some level of insulin resistance at that weight. Some people think because they are insulin resistant if they drop their calories by 50% their metabolism will also immediately just drop 50%.

Congratulations! That is a tremendous accomplishment. While I agree that fat loss comes down to energy balance, in my opinion, the reason why low carb diets are so popular is because they give people enough satiety that many of them don't have to consciously count calories, and will still be in a calorie deficit. So it liberates people from the tedious task accounting for energy intake, making dieting easier.

I like how people think food only consist of protein, carbs and fats.. I guess fiber is probably just a mystical food creature. 🥸

Well done! congratulations

You lost an entire fully grown adult man. That is amazing!

This is a really good point! When you think of foods generally that are high in both fat AND carbs, I don't know about you, but I'm not coming up with really any that aren't ultraprocessed foods. I mean, you can make a homemade pizza or a sandwich and have them be high in both, but that's variable depending on how you make them. Chips, chocolate, baked goods, etc. are all foods high in both macros, but yet somehow only the carbs get demonized, when the focus should really be on the fact that they're just high in calories. Doesn't make much sense to me personally.

Yes, that and the fact that people have no clue what they are talking about and just believe whatever they see on facebook, tiktok, instagram etc.

You are probably partly right but it's also important not to underestimate half a decade of fat demonizing with the accompanying mass sale of "low-fat" products which are high in sugars, and consequently high in calories. Foods do not need to contain fat to be high in calories. Even if you take regular carb-based foods, they're easy to overconsume if you like them. Staples like pasta or bread. I used to eat nearly 1000 calories of pure bread per day (10-12 slices). Pasta? 400 grams easily, another 600 calories. Anecdotally by the way, I'm the opposite of you. I've had a way easier time losing weight on a low carb diet.

Lol they are all processed foods, meaning, foods made to be high in fat and carbs, making them highly palatable... You comment I so misleading, there is nothing wrong with fat, or carbs, unless you combined them to male a product that is unnaturally palatable...

Too true

I’ve been doing it successfully for almost six years.

Which part of thermodynamics? Which laws of thermodynamics applies to human body?

@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica, certainly not the First Law.

@@ndrmartin2416, feel free to explain precisely how the First Law applies. 👌🏻

Well high protein and fiber isn't necessary. You just feel fuller so it helps you not overeat. I lost weight still drinking my daily sprite.

You are right that the narrative that attempts to remove personal responsibility with respect to bodyweight is catching on for a lot of people. At its extremes, it goes into some pretty crazy claims and solutions. While I can acknowledge that most people do not become obese and unhealthy on purpose they seem to disregard the ability of someone taking personal responsibility for their health by intentionally improving it through lifestyle changes, weight loss, diet, and exercise.

You got it wrong. HEALTH is not math. And why you managed to lose weight, who knows what will be the toll on your health because of that (if I am assuming you did not eat healthy nutritional food). The point is to lose fat not weight. To give you an example , I weigh 73 kg and I gained 2kg just because I added muscle mass. Think about it

It most certainly has a place in science, as it is just part of human behaviour. Do you want scientists to not be passionate, to not love what they do, to not believe in what they study? No, of course you don't. If they're wrong, they'll be proven wrong, and they'll have to deal with the ensuing emotions. Data doesn't care about our feelings, but it doesn't mean there's no place for feelings. I mean we're literally on the yt channel of a guy who gets frustrated while debunking bad science BECAUSE he's passionate.

@@vanyel_etc8695 apologies, I should of said, emotion has no place in the scientific testing and the data outcome. Obviously the emotion to evan have a question in the first place, and I agree with your opinion about after the a result is found.

Not soon enough with the cost and availability issues.

Energy balance is all you have to do. But that does not tell you how you can maintain that and with given amount of willpower. Satiation is the key. I overate on the "whole food Bavarian cuisine". Not sugary and not full of refined carbs. But the food is super palatable and not satiating per kcal. I think you can make nearly everything hyper palatable. And I think that's the issue. Now I'm more on a mostly wfpd quite high protein and I tend to undereat now. I use strategies to stimulate eating when I'm not eating enough. It's very delicious but portion sizes are large and fiber and protein makes you so full. I'm eating now more refined carbs (starch and sugar for cooking for example) than before. I know someone on a more junk food diet which was lean a long time (used will power to control calories). But that changed in the long term. I'm not surprised because his diet is just not nutritionally adequate. So energy balance is all you need to archive. But the will power necessary to do that depends on your diet. Not nutritionally adequate diets make it difficult or impossible to maintain energy balance long term (the body wants enough nutrients and it either makes it impossible to resist or decays). And satiation vs. palatability is important. The people decreasing refined carbs and sugar were probably on a "standard junk food diet". That correlates well with hyperpalatable foods there. But on a different hyperpalatable diet other things might be the issue (like in my case it was certainly fatty sauces, cheese, ...).

How does it not account for it? 🤨

@@biolayne1 Wall of TEXT ALERT I just edited this whole thing because I didn't even like what I posted. Basically I miscommunicated. WHAT PEOPLE WHO GIVE WEIGHT LOSS ADVICE don't mention is the hunger hormones of each individual. CICO itself doesn't need to as hunger hormones have no bearing on the laws of thermodynamics, which I Agree 100% : You cannot beat the laws of thermodynamics. But When people are dieting they may be doing it too hard and end up crashing and binging. If they understood how hunger signalling worked more I think more novice dieters wouldn't fall prey to these social media grifters. BECAUSE THE HORMONE making them pick up the fork and not putting it down is the one stopping them from being successful with CICO. If anyone told me they can't lose weight because of thyroid or estrogen I'd tell them they are full of shit. But If someone told me they try their hardest but their arm robotically picked the fork up and made them overeat. I'd have some sympathy because I been there. Albeit I only started encountering those issues when I became underweight, I could see it happening to someone at 25-30% body fat because parents overfeed their kids and give them way too many fat cells and hunger hormones. OH and Glycogen. So lets say dumbass Alex from 2 years ago was doing keto cause everyone said tis the only way to lose weight. Boy that guy hated every second of it. Did it for 6 months straight. Was eating 1400-1800 calories a day mostly from fat, with little protein. Decided "I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT" hasn't eaten anything yet that day cause he was fasting like a moron. So he DRINKS 4000 calories of hawaiian punch. Didn't eat anymore after that tall glass. Wasn't hungry anymore, cravings for sugar gone. No protein, no fat. Just sugar. Man that guy had a good day. But his TDEE is 2100 kcal. At least according to some online bs algorithm that he googled. So does Alex gain fat? Does he gain half a pound of fat? From ZERO glycogen? Sure his weight might go up. It doesn't break cico. But it shows not all weight gained from cico is fat. Some people follow cico to a fault and have extreme deficits for too long don't know when to give themselves a break, to refill their glycogen and recover. Barely anyone mentions this shit, and that's bullshit. Sure its an extreme standpoint but a lot of people go to the extreme the first time they try dieting. Also do you agree that after a long time of dieting and having lots of diet fatigue, sometimes you need to eat more for the sake of your restoring hormones and metabolism. Kinda the idea behind "high days" is it not?

That’s not what he said

That is likely an old video

Much of the weight T1D gain is lean mass dude
