Are we FINALLY going to debunk and call calories in and calories out a myth? A new study looks into how the composition of your nutrients, rather than just counting calories, can play a huge role in both weight loss and health. Are the results of this new research good enough to tell us that calories are indeed not equal?
CICO has been a hot debate since its inception. Although the research seems pretty clear that of its effects, there are still huge proponents debating the effectiveness of counting your calories for any goal, be it weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance. Were the researchers wrong? Let's find out!

This is the video people don't want to hear, but NEED to hear. There isn't anything wrong with having a healthy lifestyle via nutritional habits and an active lifestyle. It has become so bad that when you have regular food that people should be eating, you'll hear the classic "oh, you're eating healthy again, huh?" It needs to stop. Eating healthy isn't meant to be negative.

I definitely want to see what their physical activity looked like both before and after this study and amongst both groups. Maybe the higher nutrient group started getting up more, walking more, walking faster, etc. I feel like it’s more so lifetime changes like that accounting for the bigger amount of weight loss. But we’ll probably never know since we weren’t there lol

@PictureFit 2 года назад

Yep, this is a factor that definitely is hard to measure. Even acute changes to physical activity, like walking an extra block, can be significant. Or if the composition in the LN group led to more lethargy, that can lead to a dip in the activities the subjects normally did before without truly knowing it.

@apeekintime 2 года назад

I'm surprised there is discussion on protein between the two groups or activity. Those two items would greatly impact the results. Honestly, just focus on macros (carbs/fats/protein) and try to consume high quality sources (whole & easily digestible foods), it's far easier than tracking all the micro nutrients. Biggest mistake people make when losing weight (besides quitting) is lowering their physical activity as their energy levels depress due to the caloric deficit. The grind is real after a couple weeks but any powerlifter/body builder has had to adapt to the energy loss.

Even if it isn't particularly negative, it's like people you know will stop and stare, fixate and gawk when they realise you're eating healthier than normal, and it's statements I've constantly run into, like "life ain't worth living without tasty food for me" or they'll make absolutely sure to question why you aren't eating junk food and even pressure by things like "oh he just wants to watch his figure." Many times it honestly feel like people like this fixate more on what you're eating than you are

@KineticSymphony 2 года назад

One important thing to note here, a calorie is a calorie after having been absorbed and made useful for energy extraction by the body. To do this requires 0-5% of the total energy of a gram of fat, 5-10% of the total energy of a gram of carbs, and 20-30% of the total energy of a gram of protein. So not only does protein fill you up more, your body also can't use nearly as much of its energy as it can from fats and carbs. So the higher your protein the better. Put two people on the same calorie diet intake, one is eating 50 grams of protein, the other 200, the net intake will result in 200 less calories actually usable by the person on the 200 gram of protein / day diet. So literally by just eating more protein, in this example, the second person would lose about 0.4 lbs of extra fat per week. AND be fuller. Protein is seriously powerful on a diet. AND it's also been shown to help prevent muscle loss on a diet (although this is more relevant for very lean individuals).

@Jannajx5 2 года назад

Great analogy, this definitely doesnt get talked about enough

@KineticSymphony 2 года назад

@@Jannajx5 Yeah, I think that's in part because it's not a massive difference in a single day. People don't get really excited over a 100-200 calorie difference per day. It's not exaggerated enough. Hopefully people do pick up on it because it's so powerful over time, lots of time of course, that you could literally diet pivoting from maintenance to maintenance, but massively upping protein, and be in a net deficit that way.

@georgesarreas5509 2 года назад

Uhmmm, I'm pretty sure those percentages are off. Are you factoring in the the conversion to ATP and where did you find them if I may ask for a link? Or are you talking about the part that is not absorbed? Like insoluble fiber ? Also 4 calories for each carb is rounded -that I'm completely sure as I have done experiments on it - so it may affect. Protein is indeed very needed by the human body. many books on the processes amino acids contribute to (when I say books it's more like an entire library filled with books on the topic). That said if you do not train, extra protein in maintenance will not do much. Extra protein after a certain point also will likely do nothing but improve feelings of satiety.

@KineticSymphony 2 года назад

@@georgesarreas5509 Not sure what you mean by the conversion to ATP. To my knowledge, the only calorie losing transition in the human body from digestion is through the thermic effect, we lose calories as heat via whatever biological mechanisms are necessary to breakdown food into usable energy. Protein takes a lot more energy to be usable. As for the reference, here you go: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3873760/#:~:text=The%20reported%20TEF%20for%20protein,%E2%80%9310%25)%20(3).

I bet physical activity and satiety were the biggest of the listed factors making the high nutrition quality group lose more weight. Healthy food makes me more energetic and willing to exercise and walk instead of drive. If I eat clean, I am full and satisfied very close to maintenance, and a reasonable deficit isn't leaving me starving and cravey.

@PictureFit 2 года назад

I'm wagering this as well, especially for the satiety portion. Self-reported data doesn't clearly reflect this but I wouldn't be surprised if some participants, who are told to eat 25% fewer calories, would be a bit off, be it intentionally or unintentionally, on their reporting.

@aceusmusic2168 2 года назад

I thought this would be about calorie absorption and food processing. Like how you would likely absorb less calories from an apple versus a calorically equivalent amount of apple juice.

@redcenturion88 2 года назад

Apple juice undoubtedly has more calories per whatever weight equivalent. Hardly the same thing as an apple anyway. Remember that calories themselves are abstract units of potential energy. So, 10 calories from an apple is the same as 10 calories from apple juice from a practical standpoint. Though I would say you would only need one gulp of apple juice to achieve that. Apples are also high in fiber and therefore more filling. It's easy to down 2 or 3 glasses of apple juice. It's very hard to sit there and eat apple after apple and accumulate calories that way. Wouldn't spike blood glucose levels as much as apple juice either.

@DANGJOS 2 года назад

@@redcenturion88 While all of that is true, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to how many calories you absorb. I'm saying that if you take an amount of apple juice with the same number of calories as an apple (whatever that weight is), you will likely absorb less of the calories from the apple than the apple juice.

@Ekainen 2 года назад

@@redcenturion88 He's right tho, the whole apple, skin included will be much better than the equivalent, not in weight but calories, of apple juice. In a nutshell, on one hand you consume fructose, carbs, water and fibers, on the other hand it's basically fructose and water. The whole apple will take longer to be digested, burning more calorie and a chunk of it will be ... released, while the apple juice will have almost all sugar absorbed in the body and will become "fat" fast. All in all avoid fruit juice anayway, it used to have this "healthy ring" to it but pure fructose is almost as bad as random sugar. ( bad english, lack of vocabulary :< )

@nichtsistkostenlos6565 9 месяцев назад

If you're properly subtracting fiber content from the equation, then consuming the same amount of calories in apple juice as apples would result in approximately number of calories being absorbed. Your body is extremely efficient at extracting macronutrients from food and liquids, and the difference would be negligible. You would, however, burn more calories digesting the apple than the apple juice, which could be a noticeable difference, but that's not a reference to calorie absorption, that would be a measure of net calories received from the apple minus the total expenditure to process the apple.

@DANGJOS 9 месяцев назад

@@nichtsistkostenlos6565 There are a number of studies that put the protein digestibility of certain plant foods like beans or peanuts ranging from 50% to 90%. Some plants have poor digestibility, and since protein contains a fair amount of calories, not digesting some of it should mean less calories. Likewise, I remember hearing about studies that things like steel cut oats have lower digestibility than rolled oats. Admittedly, I need to look up that study to be sure. Lastly, nuts are notorious for their poor digestibility. The point is, whether or not our bodies are efficient at extracting nutrients from food depends on the food and the person. Our bodies have their limit, and some foods are tough to assimilate.

@FNHot 2 года назад

Protein starvation is a thing. If you eat ONLY lean protein, you can still starve to death, because your body can not store protein as fat. So technically for weight loss, the calories from pure protein shouldnt count towards weight loss/gain. Secondly, insulin is responsible for deciding if your body burns the calories you are using from your fat or from what you ate. If you have low blood sugar / low insulin, you burn fat, if you have high blood sugar / high insulin you burn what you ate. The key is to eat high protein, low carb, and carbs that are low glycemic, and try to eat them at the start of the day, and keep your insulin low, for as long as you can every day, and use the protein to keep hunger away. You'll keep your muscle, and burn the fat, without cardio.

@stevenarvizu3602 2 года назад

This is very easily seen in practicality if you live a health lifestyle. Calorie surplus or deficit determines how big or small you are, but your macros determine what body type you are. Sure you can eat tacos and ice cream all day and as long as you’re in a deficit you will lose weight, but the high amount of carbs and fat will leady to a higher fat content making you look more flabby and saggy (skinny-fat people, I’m looking at u). It also shows through things like acne break outs, oily skin, lack of energy, nutrient deficiencies, irritable bowels, lack of strength etc etc. A well balanced diet/macros is for health, and calories are for size, you need both if you would like to be fit

@smthB4 Месяц назад

Certain diets, eg low carb/keto still follow the CICO rule, but because insulin levels drop they reduce hunger (increased leptin effect) = reduced calories in, AND increase metabolic rate (gluconeogesis turned on, fat burning turned on, increased mitochondrial efficiency) = increased calories out.

@djentlover 2 года назад

Thank you! Can you do a video about BMR adaptation to calorie deficit? What I hear a lot from people I know is that they claim not to lose weight even though they claim to be in a calorie deficit. They say their bodies start to use less and less energy on a deficit, and for that reason they can't lose weight. I wonder if that holds any truth.

@horsingaround1276 2 года назад

Yeah what helped for me was upping the deficit by 100 calories every 2 weeks then once I reached target weight going back to my normal calorie intake slowly by going up 100 calories every 2 weeks. If you don't adjust your calories consumed as you diet you will plateau eventually. And if you don't move slowly back to normal caloires by reintroducing calories slowly your going to rebound very quickly. I was 105kg 2 years ago what I did was I took a 500 calorie deficit and did what I mentioned above for 3 months. Then it took me around 2 months to get back to a normal BMR by upping calories slowly . I repeated cycle until I got to 79kg. Before then I used to crash diet like crazy and I tried all sorts of random idiotic diets that never went anywhere.

@raDIO6931 2 года назад

as long as we consider that this experiment was a perfect, flawlessly excecuted experiment there are 2 answers I can come up with why this is the case. 1) even if the subjects didn't train at all, the body still does muscle synthesis constantly and the higher nutrition group probably built the slightest possible more muscle and since the more muscles you have, the more calories you burn, that lead to more fat loss. but tbh this is a huge strech and I personally don't think this contributed to it significantly 2) the second possibility is way more plausible I believe. that being that the higher nutrient groupe simply had a better mood and more energy, which lead to more movement in daily activities. maybe they danced around while cooking. maybe they raised their arms farther while using the tv remote. maybe they moved their hands more while talking. all that due to having more nutrients. so they in the end they burnt more calories. also your body needs longer to to digest large amounts of protein for example. that digesting is also burning calories. that's a contributer, too

I think the biggest error was not submitting calories burned through extra activity but the 5lb difference in 12 weeks is on average 200 calories burned everyday for the 84 days which is probably not sufficient enough reason. I think a calorie is a calorie but where we begin to see a difference are indirect changes like insulin sensitivity which play a large role in energy storage (fat storage).

@beckieinnc12 2 года назад

Aren't there also studies showing that the gut biome can also indicate a healthy weight? So one could assume that after 12 weeks an increase in fiber may have changed the gut biome which may have had an impact on weight loss with the high fiber group as well.

There is a much more obvious limitation - I counted five variables between the two groups, so which one or ones accounted for the difference between the two? On the face of it, polyunsaturated fats and plant protein, which were higher respresented in the higher weight loss group, might have been the reason that the group was more successful, but on the other hand, they might have been holding the group back, and the group may have lost more weight WITHOUT them. How did this paper get approved, with more than one variable in the groups?

@rs624 2 года назад

Is this study not limited by too many variables? Since we are still studying what "healthy" means, it would interesting to see some more studies focusing on only one of these variables at the time. Potentially this was all the lower fructose levels or higher fiber or protein carrying significant weight in these exact circumstances. It's beneficial to know specifically what works, as an "overall healthy diet" can mean many different things and nothing here is pointing to one being particularly higher in nutrients than the other.

@menandtheirmoney7135 2 года назад

One thing that might of influenced their weight loss is the amount of calories the body used to break down food. E.g if u eat 100 calories of protein the body uses 30% of those calories to break it down compared to 10% with carbs and 2-3 with fat

This comment is going against the grain, but I would like to hear opinions. In the book The Obesity Code, Jason Fung (MD) talks about that the calories in calories out idea doesn't actually work. Our energy intake and expenditure are not independent, but very much so dependent. Our bodies metabolism will adjust with the calories we eat, accordingly. He cites many studies in the book (I can leave in an edit later) about people not losing weight purely on calories, but on the composition of their diets (macro %). The biggest culprit for weight gain is insulin caused by high carb diets. He states people will lose weight in the beginning, but that will stabilize over a long term period where the body adjusts its metabolism to reduce energy expenditure. Mentioned by him, studies that show weight loss from low calories are short term (ex: this video's study is 12 weeks long). Better research are ones that are long term over years. Some limitations about this comment and info in the comment since I have not finished reading the book yet: I do not know if carbohydrates means highly processed carbs vs pure sugar vs fruit & honey. I do not believe the author looks at the perspective of someone who participates in bodybuilding. Another culprit is see from chapter headings is cortisol, but I haven't reached that portion yet.

@countbeccula 2 года назад

Ive been in a cal deficit since march 4th. Goal is to lose 120 pounds by the end of it. So far ive lost 10. I havent changed my diet at all, but have started logging everything i eat and counting calories. I have only had fast food twice in this time period and did pick healthier, easy to cal count items. Its neat that as long as you cal count, you can hit your goals. It makes it alot easier to follow, then when youre down weight and better at following the restrictions, you add more rules on. Aka, work on eating healthier, add on exercise, etc. Thats my goal at least. Im waiting till i hit my first plateau then im adding in regular light exercise to boost weight loss, then the next one ill add it in more intensly, then the next one ill boost nutrition. Gonna be good, i can feel it ^_^

What about keto diet? Is it possible to lose weight in a calorie surplus that way?

@bigpicturegains 2 года назад

No, because certain calorie sources contain more favorable micronutrient profiles, fiber to feed healthful gut bacteria, fermentation, flavonoids, antioxidants etc that will lead to overall different results in the end.

@Bullshlaha 2 года назад

How does it lead to a different result in the end? Instead of calories let's talk money. You are paid 1000$ in 100$ bills. I am paid 1000$ in 50$ bills. Who is richer?

@bigpicturegains 2 года назад

@@Bullshlaha Completely different situation. Money is money, calories come along with different properties. If you put poor quality calories into your system such as candy, do you honestly believe you’ll have the same end result as if you had broccoli or rice for example? I’m speaking long term here too. I’m aware of some often cited case of someone losing weight on candy, which I doubt the guy is continuing his same candy consumption present day. Bottom line is that health and wellness is complex and simplifying things to “all calories are equal” won’t lead to great long term results.

@Bullshlaha 2 года назад

@@bigpicturegains If I am eating 1000 calories of broccoli, then yes, I would expect the same weight loss/gain results as if I would put 1000 calories worth of candy.

@dantosinferne 2 года назад

Higher fat/protein food helps you feel fuller for longer, and they don't mess with your blood sugar. In that way, a calorie is not a calorie. If you ate the same calories, but one diet is high fat/protein, and the other is high carb, you'll feel worse and hungrier on high carb. It's harder to stick to diet goals when you are fighting cravings.

@lumberjack5909 2 года назад

Well it’s not the calories but what macros come with, high protein and fiber can help slightly maybe speed up metabolism but may vary

@DanielAlves-ik3uj 2 года назад

Does that apply to weight gain? If you keep a small calorie surplus by eating unhealthy foods will you gain more fat in comparison to eating healthy foods?
