Are All Calories The Same? What The Fitness EP 35 

I've invited him to debate me a number of times, he lacks the courage. Because he knows he'll get shown up... like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0WmxXXMUQlk.html

Someone should write a modern cover of Land of Confusion specifically for 2020

It’s a circle per Dr Greg

@@davidpeters7447 NOT A DOCTOR!

Self identify HARDER THAN LAST TIME!

Dia Jasin buy his cookbook!!!!

The calorie is literally from physics and it's an amount of energy...God our education system has failed us.

Exactly and Layne doesn’t address that or any other evidence he does site.

Yeah reduced gastric emptying and reduced appetite play a bigger role than the minor short term stimulation of endogenous insulin with that drug. Insulin is an anabolic compound and if someone is insulin resistant they are pretty much always hyperinsulinemic we just rarely test for it. The quickest way to adjust for that is to reduce their carb intake which wasn’t exactly coming from fruits so arguing against the insulin hypothesis is just laughable when as a doctor we can directly see what happens, when we put people on a reduce carb higher fat and protein diet their diabetes and cravings for sugar reduce, when we give them insulin and let them continue to eat whatever they want they just get sicker fatter and die faster.

layne: enjoy the tasty cherry picking

Agree

@Chokwe unbelievable that's even "a thing"... What have we come to! Human race never fails to disappoint.

That is NOT what he’s saying. He’s saying on a biochemical level that these calories cause more fat gain than other calories.

@@biolayne1 Interesting. So as a non PHD non-biochemist with a simplistic engineering background, I would pose the following question: Could the macronutrient content of the calories consumed be a mitigating factor in the relative difficulty or ease of the reduction of fatty tissue mass? I feel like this is the real heart of the matter, and would certainly fit with my classical thermodynamics training.

@@biolayne1 That is also true. If you drink 2000 calories of oil, it will cause you to get fatter than if you drink 2000 calories of alcohol. Remember, you are drinking exactly the same amount of calories.

It's actually because when we calculate we've already accounted for the difference, 1g of protein actually has about 5cal but we need about 1cal for the TEF of protein

@@ww2fitness if we have already accounted for Protein's TEF then why do we even consider it's TEF ? In a bomb calorimeter Protein gives 5.2ish kcal/g but physiologically Protein gives 4kcal/g (As 1.2ish gets used as TEF) Considering this, If I consume 100kcal from protein (i.e, 25g of protein), I will still get 100kcal right ?

@@arnoldschwarzenegger3744 personally I don't further account for TEF from there. It's not something most people even need to understand

I would imagine you poop it, still needs to see the video, for example fiber (if im not mistaken) cannot be consumed, you poop it.

Your question is a little unclear to me, but hope this helps: Do an internet search for "TDEE calculator". This will help give you an estimate as to how many calories you would need to maintain your current weight. Only through trial and error, can you determine a closer approximation(adjust calories as necessary). Note: 3500 calories=1lb of fat=500 calories/day. So, to lose 1lb/wk, one would need to be in a 500 calorie deficit/day. And vice versa, 500 calorie surplus/day to gain 1lb/wk. When losing or gaining weight, it will likely be more sustainable if you lose or gain at most 0.5lb-2lbs/week depending on current body fat level. 'MyFitnessPal' and 'CalorieCounter by FatSecret' are good apps to track calories.

People need an excuse for being fat and staying fat. So, they grasp at anything that makes weight loss too hard. I pretty much think that obesity is so prevalent that people are going to have to start dying and becoming disabled early in life and in large numbers to get them to pull their head out.

Agree WOLF!!

@@wolfingphysique3820 It's a real thing. Insulin resistance causes diabetes eventually and diabetes along with insulin resistance cause disease...namely heart disease. You think you're healthy because your doctor says your A1C is in the normal range. What if I told you the range is wrong. What would you do then? Do yourself a favor and quit worrying about who is right, if you're right if I'm right if layne is right...Get a CTA calcium score test. That will tell you how you are cardiac artery wise. Nothing else is definitive. Your doctor telling you your bloodwork is fine means nothing..and you don't even know what your bloodwork means.

Protein 100 calories in, 20 calories out for the body to digest it. Still CICO.

@@davidpeters7447 Then, calories are not the same because if you eat protein, the usable calories is only 80. If you eat fat, the usable calories is 95.

if you go to the account @thenutritionaladvocate on insta, you can find Alan Flanagan, a guy who Layne has collabed with previously and has a whole series of posts dedicated to the PUFA/Omega 6 topics that are very insightful. Idk if or when Layne himself has spoken on this theory

I'd like him to talk about it too. My guess is high pufa intake is associated with fast food and it's a correlated increase

@Christine Connell I think it has a much better safety profile, oddly can provide significantly more weight loss over the course of a year & is available as a generic for less than $15 per prescription. Suppresses appetite though effect usually wains over time & shouldn't be taken more than 90 consecutive days without a break. Personal observation, can cause slight jitters followed by a loss of energy as the the effect wears off later in the day and cotton mouth is pretty common. Drinking a gallon of water daily divided throughout the day (you don't want to drink much too close to bedtime) can help with the dry mouth. If you between meal snack, if you can think of a low carb whey protein shake a snack, drinking approx 25gms by content shake will not only help stave off hunger, it will help protect muscle so more of your losses are coming from fat. (there ARE good tasting whey proteins out there, so you can enjoy them as snacks) Good luck.

He’s a MOOOORRROOOONNNN!!!

And “ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME??!!!”

We are all aware lol

I used to believe this was due to insulin resistance. Induced mainly from a diet high in simple carbs. Now I'm thinking it's perhaps just genetics in combination with a less than ideal diet. What do you think?

Seriously...mice? You can find studies in actual humans that would be more representative. When you equate total calories and exercise...bw/fat loss is similar. Pretty easy stuff to find.

@@TheFallibleWarrior what would make you fat...2000 calories of oil or 2000 calories of alcohol?

i have watched a lot of his stuff. He is actually a low carb guy. He went to a low carb conference recently. He has on occasion also conflated sugar with carbs although not on purpose. At this point, lustig is no longer neutral. He has built the last 10 years on a anti sugar and in some cases, anti carb tirade. He has done good work, but he is now getting a bit out there. He is trying to absolve saturated fat and blame fruit for some problems. To the point people are scared of fruit. In the minds of many, the logic has become, fruit has fructose, therefore fruit = coca cola. The consequence? Those who don't give two shits about health finally have an excuse to eat like crap. The other agenda that he has stated time and again is with refined carbohydrates. The consequence? People are now scared of rice, bread, pasta and potato. That has in part paved way to the intuitive eating movement, which is so terrible that most healthcare professional have a heart attack. Having said that, no healthcare professional in their right mind thinks sugar is in anyway good. However, as free living individuals, we should not be made to feel morally inferior for eating for reasons other than physiological ones. It is one thing to eat carbohydrate and be informed about it's effect. It's another to treat it like a toxic substance. Sure, cut down if you can. But avoiding it at all quantities at all costs is quite insane. He should have promoted the eating of whole food as his main message, instead of going down this stupid rabbit hole. Because you know what this ultimately leads to if we take his suggestions to their logical conclusion? We are going to basically dump 75% of our food supply.

Layne cited studies on the effects of sugar as well.
