Did Charlie Gain Weight in a Calorie Deficit? | What the Fitness? | Biolayne 

Golden !

Yup. People want the good news, deliver me the gospel oh lord! Tell me I can eat unlimited food and still lose weight, it must be true... please lord? Sorry, no. Weigh yourself daily. Average weekly. If weekly average doesn't go down, you're not in a deficit. Physics cannot be cheated, ever, by anyone. You're either undercounting calories or overestimating exercise calories burned. Probably a combination for most people (though probably more on the undercounting calories).

Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet - just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less,” as it may result in having to go hungry forever. Sooner or later, many will likely give up and eat without restriction, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting.” While it should be possible to lose weight on any diet, some appear to make it easier and some to make it much harder. The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it may cause you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories,. overweight people tend to eat fewer calories on low carb. Thus, calories count, but you don’t need to count them.

@@d.bcooper2271studies showed people ate less on a higher carb diet sooooo

​​@@d.bcooper2271ro, that was a lengthy ass way of saying any style of eating that appreciates satiety and depreciates hunger will allow people to lose weight because they become coincidentally more likely to be in a deficit. Uh, yea, that's correct, but calories still need to be monitored for those who still fucking overeat on low carb diets. Which, statistically, tend to be LESS satiating than higher carb diets.

lmaooo

My weight always fluctuates at least 2 pounds before and after peeing 😭

@@d.bcooper2271You already mentioned this on another comment section here, so either 1. You’re a bot or 2. You’re lying or 3. You’re both.

It’s common to have severe water retention for some people when cardio is really high. But it’s just water unless of course you were severely overeating then it’s fat also

That’s why it’s important to watch how your body responds and adjust, rather than just trusting that whatever number an online calculator spat out is _the_ answer. If you believe you’re eating 2,000 and not losing, go to 1,800. If that doesn’t work, take it to 1,600. At some point the laws of physics say you will lose weight. Sure, it stinks when your hormones or your lifestyle mean you have to go lower than someone else, but that’s life. Good news is if you do it right it’s temporary work for lifelong benefits. If you can lose 0.8% of your bodyweight each week for 12 weeks, that’s almost a 10% reduction, enough to reap huge health improvements.

Statistically it's unlikely that everything you eat is 20% higher in calories the label says it is. That's like an upper margin of error, or maybe within 2 standard deviations of the mean (what the label says). Some food will be lower in calories than the label says.

@@rumble2468 That too. People hear that little tidbit and assume there’s some grand conspiracy to misreport Calories, like the FDA says, “Your test results said 100 Calories but you want to report it as 80? Cool with us.” The purpose of that rule is to allow for some variation between batches. When the FDA comes around and randomly samples some of your products to test, that item has to land within 20% of the stated value.

@@Magic_beans_ While I agree with you, I can imagine some companies could mess with the numbers to make people think they are eating less than they actually are and eat more of their product to make more profit.

It’s true…if it’s a perceived deficit I think I need 2500 cal a day. So if I eat 2200 a day I’ll lose weight. But in actual fact, you only need 2100 to maintain, and you are eating 100 cal extra a day…gaining 1lb a month or so on what you think is a diet. It’s an experiment. You reduce a bit…hold for a few weeks and see where it goes. Then adjust. A pound a week. That’s a reduction of 500 cal a day…3500cal in a pound of fat. That’s aggressive and probably unsustainable. Maybe go for 2lbs a month. Remember…you didn’t go to bed skinny and wake up overweight. You also won’t go to bed overweight and wake up skinny.

To be super charitable you probably can gain scale weight as water. But we obviously are talking about fat. And if you are gaining fat it's by definition not a deficit haha

Yup and apparently you can start losing weight in a surplus because obviously you stopped losing weight because uR nOT eaTiNg eNuFF!!

Rick. Best way is to Get a fitness tracker. Don’t look at the numbers on it for actual calories, just get a daily, weekly and monthly trend. Once you have a base line and average number, you can tell what days you did more or less activity. If your activity is consistent, your eating consistently, and no weight is moving, you need to add activity or subtract food to lose weight. Or if you want to gain weight, you need to add food. It could be as easy as walking a couple miles a day, and not having that handful of nuts….or using half a table spoon of oil to cook instead of the full one. Until it’s habit, you need to track everything right down to the gram. As you get better with judging portions and closer to your goal, you can start slacking on the tracking bit…but you still have to stay disciplined on portioning. You don’t just start glugging oil in the frying pan. You will know what a tablespoon full looks like in the pan. Then you carefully watch your weight, do spot checks on a food tracker now and then. Guess the weight of things, and weigh them out to check…it’s slow going….but it’s doable. Slowly add in extra activity…I’m talking small walks, chop a few logs, take the stairs. Walk up and down the stairs a few times a day on purpose. Anything extraneous to your usual day activity will add to your deficit. It’s called NEAT, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenisis. It’s what you do as a matter of course every day outside the gym.

You solved world hunger.

That’s most people

Good job dude that’s impressive. Good luck!

Congrats, keep it up! One more example that shows the impact on our health

That's awesome. Congratulations!

@@rmmm6725 Not everybody. A lot of people with normal BMIs develop T2 diabetes, particularly those of South Asian descent. But they're "skinny fat".

What's also funny is that this "doctor" says that insulin blocks fat from being utilized, it will down regulate fat oxidation but will not eliminate it completely, which is basic physiology, and something that this "doctor" should have learned in their undergrad.

I was going to suggest the same thing. It would actually be cool to see Layne connect w/ Charlie & teach him a thing or two.

Who says he isn't already brainwashed? In case he isn't, let him contact Layne, not the other way around.

Did you just copy the comment from 'lol'?

@@syedtcbI saw that comment from lol a few hours after I first commented haha. So weird. It looks like they just grabbed the second half of my comment

Damn later in the video you mentioned rules of thermodynamics

Man I feel your pain, I once bought a 5kg tub of PB so I could have a teaspoon with my breakfast everyday. Ate the whole thing in one go!

Yeah, not healthy nor filling/satiating at all.

It also just takes a lot of experience, I've tracked my food for ages and estimating my intake is definitely a skill I've honed over the years. Expenditure I'm even worse at, I've had my watch for nearly two years, all I know if it registers 1000kcal+ AND I'm feeling hungry, I probably should eat, otherwise I can generally ignore it.

you can eat 4000 junk food calories or 2000 vegetables & 2000 meat calories, you may not have vitamin deficits, however your body will still store fat just the same as you are consuming more calories then you are burning off.

This is true. I always think of Ginny Sack from the Sopranos. In the basement with a box of candy bars after her husband leaves.

Thats great. Are there any side effects?

@@johnkowalsky1988 Yes, I’d get nausea the first few days after I’d inject myself and my heart would race throughout the week. I stayed on it for 7 weeks before I was advised by my endocrinologist to stop taking the injections. I lost a total of 20 lbs and even though I’ve stopped the injections about 6 weeks ago I have not regained the weight, but I have noticed my appetite is finally back. I’ve just download the Carbon app to help me stay in a deficit. I am hoping to keep that weight off.

Stop over training and do more walking?

You can't accurately track calories at most places.

Depends on your deficit. 500 calorie deficit = 1 lb/week. Asingle pound decrease in weight can get lost in the “noise” (your bodyweight will fluctuate hour to hour and day to day even without dramatic caloric intake changes). I’d give it at least 2-3 weeks before expecting to see it on the scale.

People also make mistakes in tracking by not noticing the difference between cooked and raw meat. With fattier meats that can make huge difference.

Right. Plus they might not be resistance training or exercising or eating correctly. It is all about food and movement.

I hear this a lot. It’s an excuse. Pay close attention to the individual’s lifestyle and eating habits. For example, I know a gal who constantly blames her hypothyroidism as to why she can’t lose body fat. It’s all BS. She constantly grazes on ultra processed foods and doesn’t have a clue how much caloric intake she consuming (which is well into a surplus everyday). Then when she gains massive amounts of fat, she blames the carbohydrates. It’s the same horse shit I hear all the time as a health coach. People that are obese and hold more body fat than the acceptable percentages will ALWAYS have a lower BMR. Period

@@mtnmike76 exactly. I take these same people, lock them in a rehabilitation center as a controlled intervention at the request of their family and like magic they lose weight : )
