Your talks with Ethan Suplee have been a huge help for me. I started off doing keto, trying to avoid every carb that I could. I am now doing a much more balanced diet, and currently doing maintenance, and I feel great. Still able to lose weight, even with eating carbs. So far have lost around 170 pounds, with another hundred-ish more to lose. Also, I ride an adventure bike (Honda Africa Twin) with a stock exhaust, am I still eligible for a hug?

I've lost 8.7 kilograms since June (down to 99.3kg) and your videos have been a big help. This week has also just been great for me. Beating my PB for 8 exercises including the big 3, and i've also broke my cardio records for everything up to the 10km mark, which i managed to hit in 1h13m. God it feels good getting fit. My only remaining goals this year are dropping under 98kg and finally doing a proper pullup.

I have been binging the RP videos to keep my motivation to get through my cut and increase my training intensity. Thank you for all the excellent content and giving me something to help keep me motivated while I chase my goals in solitude!

A golf buddy showed up one day, said he feels great since he cut out carbs; carbs are the enemy! And his gut was half the size it was, so good, whatever works. Then during the round he pulls out a big bag of fruit and starts eating. I was like, dude, umm ... nothing, nevermind.

For me going low carb works because when i eat "normal" over a period of time i just keep adding more and more carbs and overeating alot unless i count calories. When i eat low carb im not hungry all the time and im not stuffing my face as much. Im the type who cant eat two slices of pizza and stop. I keep eating until im bursting. If im eating steak or something i dont do that.

Talking to keto zealots is like talking to a child. They will swear by what they believe, and all you can do is just be like, "Yeah, ok...". There's no sense in arguing with people who believe in magic.

Don't eat the carburator?

I'm really tempted now to fly to the US, rent a Harley Davidson and come by the RP gym to get a hug from Dr. Mike.

I’ve honestly never been healthier (blood work, FFMI, performance) than when I ditched the low carb books by Taubes, Sisson, Ludwig, & co. & decided to read material from RP, Layne Norton, Brad Schoenfeld, A. Aragon & the evidence-based crowd 7 years ago. Y’all got me competition ready whilst the low carb zealots had me weak & fearful of facts.

Have a loud Harley. And I love to hug. 🤗 Dr. Mike. As always good solid facts. Kicking major ass using your RP diet app. Even makes my loud Harley even cooler.

For sure, but the reason I like reducing carbs is because it makes it hard for me to find easily palatable with loads of calories. Ice cream? Fatty but has lots of sugar. Chips? Fatty but lots of starch. Goes for almost any fast food or snack. I'll eat carb sources sometimes but I'll make sure that they have extra benefits. Like various wholegrain products or fruits. No need for white flour and refined sugar if I'm not running around chopping trees all day. But I'll gladly have my fats and proteins, because those by themselves usually have considerable long term benefits. Glucose only has contextual benefits like when you need an immediate energy boost. If I ever actually pick up long distance running, I might consider stuffing my mouth with some cake or white bread or something before I run off. That's great.

Listen I was 350 lbs and prediabetic before I started doing low carb and now I'm down to 218 and dropping with a A1c of 4.5. It works for me. It might not work for you but that's ok. If I wanted to force dietary advice on people I'd be a vegan.

I see what you are saying, but it doesn't seem to make sense with my lived experience. I watch Thomas DeLauer on YT and started Keto Feb 2022. In the past I tried low carb diet from Tim Feriss and it did help me lose weight, although I kept yo-yo-ing since I lacked discipline and nutritional knowledge. I agree that all diets/ways of eating must follow calories burned > calories consumed to lose weight. Also, I do agree carbs are necessary/optimal (along with required protein 1.6-2.2 g of protein per kg) to MAXIMISE muscle gain. However, I found keto most easy to follow, since I feel more satieted and mentally clear with ketones as fuel source. Carbs make me sluggish (also I never drink coffee) I have lost 17-18 kg (35-40 lbs) since February 7th 2022 (currently 102 kgs at 5 ft 8 in). Apart from just keto I am doing: + all meals tracked in MyFitnessPal and averaging 1700 calories daily + 16/8 and 18/6 intermittent fasting, so only lunch & dinner (between 2pm -8pm) + Cardio (walk/run) about 120 mins weekly average + Gym 2-3x a week average hypertrophy program with a personal trainer at FitnessFirst + Sleep, supplements (creatine, whey isolate, athletic greens etc). + DEXA scan every 12-16 weeks and daily weighing with Bluetooth bathroom scales so it automatically syncs with MyFitnessPal With keto I have gone 36, 47 and 55 days on a keto streak (

I reliably and consistently lost about 35lbs over a 4-5 month period simply by counting my calories and restricting caloric intake to about 1600-1700 calories a day. I incorporated exercise into the early months, reduced those gym visits into the later months, and still saw consistent fast loss throughout. I've done some diet variations, like incorporating intermittent fasting occasionally, but in the end, simply following a strick deficit plan bore the real results. People in my life have asked me about it, and I tell them the simple truth. Most like to get into ideas about keto or removing carbs/fats. I even have a friend who thinks that just because he eats less fast food, he'll suddenly start losing weight. He's not even willing to give up regular soda for diet lol. He lost 2 lbs, stopped losing weight, and then got upset/gave up. I told him to simply start tracking what he's eating. He wasn't willing to do that, so nothing has changed for him. I find that people tend to over complicate fat loss and are looking for excuses or alternatives to avoid having to simply reduce their food intake and feel hungry sometimes. That's just the hard reality of weight loss.

Motorcycle rider here ☝🏼 I have a loud bike bc I want to live, you’d be astonished how many times ppl do not see me, cut me off, or try to merge right into me while I’m right next to them. Having a loud bike keeps them aware! Also I love how it sounds so bonus. Also revving when slowing down has a purpose, it’s to match the rpm’s on the engine when downshifting so the bike does not stall out. Will Take Up Your Offer On The Hug Though, Thanks Mike 😂

If I don't have a motorcycle can I still get a hug?

I can't believe this has to be repeated so often.

Carbs good. Fats good. Protein good. Eat.

Well, as somebody that love carbs (Hispanics needs rice and beans) I need to defend keto. The principle of keto is not that, eating fat will help you burn fat. It is that by bypassing carbs, you body dont need to spend all the carbs you ate that way before it start using fat as an energy sources. And how you said all think equal (mix diet vs keta/no carbs diet on same calories intake) you will start to lose body fat. You body get use to burn fat as main source of energy, so of you are in a deficit diet you will start using that storaged fat. When in keto will still look at calories, you just need to eat less since fat has more calories per grams. But im 100% againts keta diet all the time. There is a diminishing return, after you body burn a big chuck of your body fat you wont see much body weight reduction without compromising some ofther area on you body. I personally like to do keto for 2 max 3 month when im in my cutting face and then back to a balance carb/fat/protein. Last time I did keto I went from 195lbs 24.5% body fat. To 185lbs 17.5% body fat in 45 days. I got to 185 in the first 30 days but kept the diet for a total of 75 days. All the way to 175lbs. All that in a 15% surpur diet. I was eating 2800-3200 calories at day and still losing weight. After hiting the 180lbs it was dificult to lose weight but my body fat kept going down. Im back to 202 (long vacation and bulking) and im planning to do keto again for 2 months. When I do keto it is not to lose weight im consider myself a powerlifter, it is to lose body fat but not lower than 15%

in 99% of the population, reducing carbs in their diet DOES cause fat loss. Its the THE easies way to lose weight in the general population. NOT bs

Great video. Dr. Mike is always super informative as well as hilarious.

Going to send this video to all my gen pub friends/family that think carbs are making them overweight and then eat 1000 gallons of olive oil because it’s healthy 😂

Doc causes fat gain by yelling, "Up!" at my body fat percentage!

Well, it is anecdotal but Fung actually makes sense, and following his advise I, at the age of 52 lost 30 lbs of weight in 3-4 months, practicing IF 16:8. I was overweight with a bodyfat % of 30, NAFLD, and starting symptoms of metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, visceral fat deposits, arthritic pain) Now, sure, this works because having only an 8 hours eating window makes you chose your meals more carefully - if I am allowed to eat from time to time, I need to make sure those meals provide all the macro and micro nutrients, fiber, aso- and you will probably end up with less calories. So the calories model is ok, but still there are aspects of the low carb, fasting diet that go beyond the mere less calories=less weight gain model. For example, as I do it, I have my last meal at 4-5 pm, I am already a bit hungry at dinnertime, but I just have a glass of water, go to sleep like a baby, and have my breakfast at 8-9 am. Swelling in my legs gone, pot belly greatly reduced, and so on. Why IF and low carb is superior to a just eat less calories approach is because the eat less calories advise does not give you any method, program, rules and it is much harder to make good choices if you can eat any time for example, or whatever you'd like. My experience is that eating high carb just makes craving high carb meals stronger. If I have a 4 eggs omelette with cheese and two slices of whole rye bread I am much less likely to crave food for 4-5 hours than when I just had a meal with loads of pasta, potatoes, rice, bread and so on. Don't get me wrong I love carbs juts any other guy, and strongly believe a good tiramisu is essential to humanity's well being. But insulin resistance is a thing and I am sure that the calorie deficit works because eventually lowers blood sugar increasing insulin sensitivity.

Respectful Caveat: Fat burning stops immediately on insulin increase. Some people suffer auto immune response from inflammatory foods such as shitty carbs AND shitty fats such as seed oils.

I've been a fan of keto, I don't thi k ita the end all be all of diets. I understand it's still just calorie restrictions at the end of the day, but I am ALWAYS HUNGRY. I can eat 3k calories of carbs in a sitting, but. Ahigh fat / protein meal and I can find satiation around 500-600. So, going keto worked great for me, but I always thought a balanced diet is the best option for those that can.

Is there any room in the discussion for nuance? That some people have put their body’s into an metabolic state of not being able to process energy through carbohydrates abuse? Or that “carbohydrate” is too big a term… it includes fiber that body’s can’t utilize (without a helpful microbiata) as well as human synthesized brand new polymers if sugars that exist no where in nature. Carbohydrate- insulin model of obesity is wrong… it’s the carbohydrate- insulin model of metabolic destruction that may or may not lead to obesity. NAFL isn’t caused by anything else.

Dr. Fungs advice and research is definitely not geared towards the RP audience. Low carb and fasting is not bullshit for sedentary office workers that don’t burn enough calories in their daily lives. If you’re hitting the gym and getting a healthy amount of movement and don’t have any insulin resistance issues then a higher percentage of your daily calories coming from carbohydrates is totally fine. I think context is important.

Loud Pipes save lives from drivers who aren’t paying attention.

The only true religion is Shreddology. The belief that transcendence of life into heaven is achieved at 6% bodyfat. A complete euphoria and sense of accomplishment overcomes the shredder, entering, almost surpassing the majestic boundaries of human emotion.

Insulin is literally the top anabolic

For you to bring up Fung I was hoping you would bring up the part of the argument that still stands unrefuted. That is that insulin is one of the oldest growth signalling hormones. We can all agree that the individual macro's are not particularly lipogenic. That's now why there is still discourse. In a situation of inappropriately high insulin levels you tend to see more hunger, and less activity. It's basically a sustained sugar crash. That's a disadvantage when it comes to fat loss Another thing nobody from the CICO side ever wants to touch is the theory that a lower insulin approach may reduce the ferocity of metabolic adaptation. I realize that the evidence for that comes from drugs used to reduce insulin in diabetics, and I can acknowledge that as a confounder, but it hasn't been ruled out. Y'all never talk about glycation, y'all never talk about how you must burn more calories to produce your own glucose, Y'all don't talk about the difference in the way fructose is metabolized. If you wonder why low carb won't die, it's because none of y'all can kill it. Before you call us zealots you need to refute the whole argument. Look, I don't always agree with Jason Fung about everything, but he risked his medical license to help diabetics. And he has helped hundreds of them keep their limbs, and stop the progression of kidney disease with the low carb intervention. Y'all make him out to be a quack, or a charlatan. It's always a one sided argument with just about everything left out. You should be able to see why he is so passionate. His existence benefits the species moreso than the existence of his opposition. As corrupt as academia can be if you are getting shunned by them it adds to your credibility... Albeit it does so through fallacy. All this video amounts to is that you don't like the low carb approach.

Amazing presentation of the arguments! Always putting great content out 💪🏽

Totally on board with CICO being the way, but my question is does Keto actually have use for people with type 2 diabetes as a result of obesity? Or is it just the fact that they're in a deficit that they regain some insulin sensitivity?

Bro the motorcycle analogy killed me😂😂

Dr Mike, the only sensible and sane nutrition and training advice on you tube. Love him !

Loud pipes keep idiots alert so they don't change lanes right into you.

What about the bioavailability of certain carbs, like say shitty white bread, and other ultra refined carbs? It's been shown that ultra refined carbs do tend to increase fat storage since at least one step of the digestive process is removed due to refinement. For what it's worth, I did a kinda ketoish diet and lost 43 lbs on it. It's not sustainable though, since when you get down to low body fat percentage, fatigue, muscle cramping, brain fog, etc. become issues, regardless if you're taking electrolyte supplements. I've switched over to a stupidly high protein diet now (290g/day; I'm 190 lbs), relatively low carb and moderate fat. Haven't noticed too much loss in performance, but I can cut with a higher overall calorie intake (between 2300-2400 kcal/day).

Hey mike I just wanted to offer some counter points based on my experience with losing 50lbs on a low carb diet. I don’t think the majority of low carb people believe carbs to be inherently bad. The main allure of low carb is that it almost completely eliminates hunger. I could go the entire day without eating and I would have the same amount of energy I did when I woke up. I would not think of food constantly like I did when cutting calories on a standard diet. I even started to dive into long-term fasting with ease. I would go on fast for 3 days and I can’t overstate how good you feel during this period. I’m really curious on how you think long term fast and bodybuilding correlate as there’s not a lot of videos about the topic. Cheers!

My big issue with people super anti keto and pushy about carbs have almost always never experienced ketosis. Personally ive lost weight and gotten into shape both with carbs and doing keto.. life is better in every way doing keto. Energy is way higher, i actually have full control over my appetite, and i don't even count calories and i continue to drop fat and gain strength and muscle. Its like health is on easy mode with keto where with carbs im always hungry always worried about calories.. never content. I dunno.. i think more people need to actually experience keto first hand before hating on it, is all im saying.

Motorcycle analogy pure gold 😂

I'm pretty sure you can smoke pixie sticks in addition to snorting them.

Dr. Mike bagging on really loud motorcycles had me worried for a second.... but then he said harley davidson cruiser types.... but I'm totally in the clear because I ride really loud sport bike!

Dr Jason Fung is a Toronto doctor, a nephrologist (kidney specialist). He is a proponent of fasting, intermittent and longer, and I follow him. He's not a keto zealot. I don't think he even recommends any type of specific diet, just if you want to lose weight, to narrow your eating window. He does say that if there is any sugar in your blood, your body will make insulin, which will block your ability to burn fat, until all the sugar is gone.

about the motorcycle analogy: decibels are a logarithmic scale. 10 more decibels is TWICE as loud, so it is big deal. We all understood your point, of course, but the metaphor, from a pedantic technical perspective, is not the best one to use.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Mike and i love his information, but for me to feel my best i need to eat within the carnivore-keto spectrum. Easier way to control calories and i have tons more energy, particularly on carnivore

Funny, I’ve been a motorcycle rider for 25 years and want to give you a hug for being so right about loud bikes. Ironically I disagree with you about carbs. Perhaps I’m mistaken though. If you have your glycogen stores topped off, and most folks on the sad do. Do those carbs have any choice but to become fat? I believe one of the biggest disservice’s saying carbs are not a problem is not understanding how poor the average Americans health and diet already are. Healthy active folks can tolerate much more carb intake than sedentary folks. Also the the human body has to be least 10 orders of magnitude more complex than a bomb calorimeters. I believe the law of entropy is fully intact with this explanation. I know you’re a busy guy, but if you have a sec I’d really like to know what I’m getting wrong. All my personal diet experience has supported my assertions. I know, no scientific data point. But I have repeated the results multiple times for what it’s worth. Awesome channel, great wit. Keep up the good work.

Lol motorcycles have to be loud so people can hear them. I almost died on mine twice before I got a aftermarket exhaust!

dr. mike, brilliant synopsis of adipogenic affect of carbs as they relate to formation of fatty tissue, and your endless comedic timing 😂😂: Picasso ... i was having a unpleasant day, you saved it; thank you sir...

There is a saying “Loud pipes saves lives”. Some bikers may use a loud pipe for attention or power display, but it is also used because bikes are super invisible on traffic, and it helps them to announce their existence. Shinny colors are for cyclist

I have come to tell you it is okay to eat carbs. You have my blessing.

My sport bike is real loud. And yes, it's a need lol

Well one of the low carb PHd'S has made a video with several clear refutations to what you are saying. His argument in short, is that the "carbohydrate insulin model for obesity" you have cited, is a model you made, and not us. And I agree with him. The primary difference in the model you presented, and that of the low carb academics is that you will be hungrier, and more than likely eat more if your insulin is chronically elevated. And if you look closely, you can all see that Fung was saying the same thing. When he says CICO doesn't work, he means people don't make it work because their insulin is too high. Not that you can overeat fat without gaining fat. Here is the video. I would brace yourself. He can show this to be a strawman. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpdhZtamyb-8nYE.html

The thermic effect of protein is a lot higher than carbs and way higher than fat, so to say calories consumed above maintenance from protein will lead to the same fat accumulation as excess calories from carbs and fat is absolutely wrong, you burn more calories processing protein than carbs and fats, up to 25 percent of the calories of protein are lost through digestion

You can't always see a loud bike but you'll always hear a loud bike. I believe South Park portrayed typical Harley riders accurately. Proteins, Carbs, Fats= good. Excess calories=bad.

Nothing is bad in it of itself, its just the matter of a individual situation. There is nothing wrong with peanuts unless you are allergic to them. I have to eat about 2000kcal to maintain my weight, being 192-194cm tall, 120kg and training 6x per week( both weights and cardio), being a kineziologyst I would say results with clients show that I have a fairly good idea what works and what doesn't - but still I can't apply the same principles for me to other clients because I obviously have some issue. It might be just a genetic phenotype, or something medical - its still a process to work it out what is it that keeps my metabolism so slow and very f-d up from eating carbs. From my experiance it happens from 2% to 15% of people, depending on how you do the statistics and what would you count for as a bad response to eating carbs, and which carbs exactly.(for example, do they contain gluten and do you have Celiac disease,or nay other form of correlation but not causation) But most clients that I work with hugely benefit from lowering their carbs. Keep in mind that they are mostly recreational athletes who workout 2-4 times per week. Thus you have greater benefit from satiety most people with who I work with have from fats than from carbs. Although it might be just dishonesty in reporting what they've eaten. With athletes, its a different situation mostly. But there are some who can't tolerate carbs non the less even though they are athletes.

The most effective mechanism of a ketogenic diet, carnivore, even low carb, is that the absence of carbohydrates suppresses the ghrelin hormone, or the "hunger" hormone. Carbs, adversely, suppress the lectin hormone, which tuns off hunger signals. Couple that with fact that carbohydrates cause insulin to rise more rapidly , causing sugars to rise and fall sharply and creating more frquent bouts of hunger. There is no magic, other than the fact that high fat and high protein foods are extremely SATIATING. That is the thing that most people don't understand about the diet. Yes, calories in calories out is one of the main drivers of weight gain, but it is very difficulty to OVEREAT protein and fat in the absence of carbohydrates. Look at it like this. If you have a giant bag of potato Chips and a giant fatty steak, eaten separately, you will likely stop eating the steak first, because all those signals will tell your brain to stop. With Chips, you'll just keep eating.

I will call 🐂💩 on this one, ( In my personal experience) you can gain weight on carbs, when making weight for an event (kick boxing) I find staying away from carbs not only kept the weight off but also excess water. The byproduct of low carb is about metabolic health, for some reason it has been hijacked by the the weight watching clan…. ( my last point again is my opinion.)

I am currently attempting to avoid carbs for a different reason, without fail, every time I have a lot of carbs in my diet, I have a lot of gastro issues. When I stay on high protein, low carb and fats diet, everything seems to normalize and I feel great. Does anyone else react this way to carbs?

I actually carb load the whole week while i hit the gym, cycling anything other than Tren w/ Green Tea Test Booster is beta and dudes still say it’s the green tea that works 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s because carbs store more sub q water. This makes people think they’re storing fat or losing fat when manipulating carbs.

Yes! Finally somebody said it. There is nothing wrong with carbs, folks. They're nutrients, for carbs sake! Also, as a guy, I will tell everyone the exact reason for the prevalence of motorcycles: the male ego. Without the male ego being marketed to, these risky contraptions simply do not sell.

😂😂😂 that hug part is on point

You should do a separate video on just carbohydrate-insulin model, since it is very popular.

ANYONE with a loud vehicle is pathetic. Everyone else knows it except them. Your $hit muffler on a Honda Civic is not impressive.

Glad you covered this topic, never could figure out those loud cruiser bikes. Haha

It's on the satiety scale where carbohydrates fail, imo. An old stereotype of Chinese food had it that you were hungry again an hour later, probably reflecting the carbs-to-protein ratios found in American Chinese food dishes, at least. Fortune cookie wisdom aside, it's been only protein-dominant eating protocols that have managed to properly regulate hunger for me, to where I can eat intuitively and never gorge. Carbs, however, I never stop feeding on--they're like candy, only they won't turn your stomach after too much of them, and you'll soon be hungry for more. And I don't like the hunger feeling. Anyway, that's been my experience.

If there’s anything I took away from this, it’s that Harley Davidson owners need a hug - I would know, I own a Harley

Loud bikes save lives. People driving cars are more likely to be aware that a loud bike is there.

Loud pipes save lives.

Dr. Fung is a fucking hero who has helped MANY chronically ill people. Based on what you've said in this video it's obvious that you are not familiar with his work or his beliefs.

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where the Carb Up Carls At!!!! REPPIN! 600-700g carbs a day! We'll just ignore the 10-20 miles a day. On the real talk though keto has taught me to love carbs.

Loud pipes save lives

I got away from processed carbs…..bread, chips, tortillas etc….this led to a low carb way of eating as a by product. I get most carbs from veg and some fruit, but, mostly cut fruit as well. Usually about 40 net carbs a day. It’s been working pretty well so. Lost 40 lbs and moved from pre diabetic to none. Thinking of adding some oats and some more fruit back in. All of the diet info is maddening confusing to a newbie fat guy trying to not be a fat guy anymore. Vegan, Leto etc. So much contradictory information out there all stated with 100% conviction. All that said, I’ve lost tons of respect for the “expert opinion” and endless bowing down to academics over the last few years. Searching for direction.

Here's very another interesting claim being made about carbs that I keep hearing lately (especially from fitness professionals that I actually respect otherwise): carbohydrates are not a necessary macronutrient in the human diet. Edited*

Lol 😁I am guilty of owning a loud-ass Harley, but it's not to seem tough or any of that Sons of Anarchy crap- Harleys are sold out of the crate with massive engine restrictions in place, and these make an already underperforming old fashioned two wheeled tractor, even slower. To fix that, you have to have it tuned - this is called 'paying the Harley Tax' . The tune involves derestricting the air intake, uprating the exhaust, and remapping the ECU. This helps the bike run cooler, gives an extra 5-8 BHP at the rear wheel, and crisper throttle response, but it also increases the decibels of the exhaust note. To keep it in analogy land, imagine they released a brand of pre-workout that guaranteed to increase your 'big 3' powerlift total by 8%, but it had a side effect of causing short term Tourrete Syndrome when used. You'd probably be happy to tick and swear your ass off, disturbing the rest of the gym, in order to get that extra baseline performance right? Well just think of loud cruiser bikes and their owners, as navigating that situation. And I am a big hugger, so bring it in anytime - the world needs more hugs for everyone, Harley riders or not 😎

I just love the bro voice when you do it. Please do it in every video it’s hilarious

I needed this tbh I love the science breakdown really helps me wrap my head around it and allows me to figure what I need to address for myself 🧡

It’s no secret that carbs and sugar cause insulin spikes. There is science to back up the low insulin sensitivity on carnivore diet or keto. That, and eliminating sugars and carbs by default will reduce the fatty unhealthy options in your diet. The secret is to carb cycle once a week or once every 2 weeks.

I didn’t lose a pound on calorie restriction. Cut the carbs and lost 30 pounds in 30 days.

I was introduced to Vince Gironde who swore on meats and eggs only and I tried it and I hard stuck platued. You still have to track calories over all

I ride a motorcycle for a few years now and until recently I've never considered changing my stock exhaust. Then I found out aftermarket exhausts are... lauder. Why!? I lost hope in humanity.

Where is the "what's true" and "take away slides" for this topic like you normally have? Yeah, all calories are more or less the same, but you've conveniently miss out on how satiating different macros are. Carbs are very fast to digest and you can simply get a lot more through you more easily than you can fat or protein. I can very easily eat 2500 calorie of pizza or cookies 3 times a day and probably manage to get a bit hungry for a snack somewhere in the middle. I can't easily eat 6 lbs of steak in a day. It is much harder to eat too many calories when you keep your carbs controlled (not the same as no carbs). I find I don't need to 'control' my fat or protein - I don't crave them and i get full. Carbs are the only one that can just run away on you. I am of course mostly talking about refined white carbs like flour and sugar, not brown rice, green veg and sweet potatoes.

Very informative! The matrix but had me rolling😂 subbed

People with loud motorcycles ARE trying to say something: "I'm here, please don't hit me with your car." Not a motorcycle driver, but I'll still take a hug.

I think people just need to understand their resistant or sensitivity to carbs , removing carbs from your system is dumb. Also storing fat isn't bad because your body obviously need that fat as a reserve in case you r starving to death Also your hormonal changes matter alot

Thank you for this! I'd heard that it was purely carbs that were to blame so often that I thought that had been proven to be the case. Thank you for setting the record straight!

Calories in calories out 😉

I agree about how you have to listen to your body. I personally find mine functions better on low carb (not keto low because my body doesn't like that and I do need some carbs) but I also know for some, that a high carb diet is more preferred by their bodies.

Keto weirdos, Liver King and crossfitters in shambles rn.

Simple carbs cause people to overeat which causes weight gain. I also find some carbs extremely inflammatory.

Mike, loud pipes save lives.

People have loud motorcycles so they don't get hit by cars. Kinda hard to not hear them coming.

My body type reacts well to low carbs/medium and high protein with greens the best. High carb eating is bad, even if you have a cal control diet. Wrong there

in my humble opinion, eating more protein than any other macro is the way to go. So if that means you eat less carbs, then you eat less carbs...

This is as stupid as stupid can be. An excuse. A distraction. Want a thing?...pay the price.

Many people with loud motorcycles just like the way it sounds. But there's also the argument that loud pipes save lives. Because csr drivers hear you and are less likely to kill you

It's just an overreaction to the decades of "fats are terrible for you" messaging of the sugar industry. Most of the carbs that the average person eats on a daily basis are crap anyway, if some of them end up convinced that all carbs are poison they are probably better off that way. Quality and quantity of food should be far more of a concern than macronutrients.

If i eat carbs i want to eat more, with fats i want to eat less. I think fats just suppress hunger more so you eat less over all. I loss 90kg on low carb.

Hi Dr. Mike! Awesome video as always! I wanted to ask if you have or will you make a video on eating or dieting for insulin resistance? Thank you so much!
