Hey I don’t know if you’ll see this but I would really appreciate if you could tell me wether fasted cardio works or not because I’m not smart enough to decipher what this video means for fasted cardio
Cutting sugar is important, but less for weight reasons and more for health reasons. You will definitely lose weight doing it too. Most people eat WAY more sugar than they should in a day
@@forstuffjust7735 of course. But the volume required is much larger than a cheesecake for example. And the fruits come with fiber that absorb some of that sugar where it all doesn't get into your blood stream like most sweet deserts that don't have any fiber and all that sugar gets into your blood stream. It's a lot harder to have a calorie surplus with fruits compared to bakery type desserts like brownies, cookies, cheesecake etc. And it's very easy to drink calories so sugary fruit juices there have a lot of added sugar are probably the worst. The fiber is also removed from those sugary fruit juices.
@@farhan007 ofc. The same applies to carbs though, cutting out carbs helps not because carbs are inherently evil, but because they are calorie dense. If we are ranking sugary stuff, sodas are the first one should limit consuming.
I've done keto and lost the same 40 lb twice I finally decided to try a calorie deficit and so I bought Dave's killer bread and still have super healthy sandwiches with avocado and veggies and chicken and tuna. I also have popcorn but I stay away from sweet treats, pastries. I will eat whole grain hamburger buns etc. I finally feel like I'm living a moderated life and it works so much better for me than trying to cut out ALL carbs!! Now when I get to my goal weight I'll just keep eating like I'm eating now with more calories. I feel like a normal person again I can go out and eat with my friends and just pick and choose from the menu what fits in my calorie budget. Right now I'm losing weight like crazy I walk an hour every day it's just so much better for my mental health too.
Yup, and your insulin levels are better and your body is better at burning fat. People like to make fun on low carb diets but it's the only thing that's worked for me. I've lost ever 100 on it and reversed my pre diabetes. If it weren't for low carb I'd be on heavy medication right now.
Former T2D here. Cutting out carbs completely helped me go from an A1C of over 11 to 5.5 currently. I’m off of all meds and went from 260 to 195 pounds. High healthy fats and moderate protein saved my life.
EXACTLY why I am now on a low carb diet. I want to reverse T2 diabetes. The only med I’m on is Ozempic and I hate it gotta get off. But I’m also on high BP meds. I’m 39 and have been on then since early 20’s. T2 diabetes only started 2 years ago. A1C was 7.9 and now it’s 5.4 but thanks to Ozempic. I hope to get off and maintain it.
Reducing carbs and refine sugars is a good thing, but I can’t eliminate carbs altogether. It’ll make me feel weak, which then impacts my workouts. When I add in the quality of my workouts, I think I lose weight more on a small carb diet. It gives me enough energy to push through.
Great advice. If you work out regularly you need energy from carbs. Low carb is fine, coupled with little to no refined sugars. I work out 5 days a week, with three of those days being a high intensity full body workout. I feel like shit when I eliminate carbs altogether. There's no magic solution and ymmv with keto. It all depends on the individual.
Basically what bro said in this video. Best thing to do is to lower your calorie intake and eat good calories that your body can digest and burn easily.
This week, I cut out most grains from my diet. I stopped eating rice and wheat bread. The only grain I eat is oatmeal in the morning. I get most of my carbs from fruits and veggies. After this single week, I feel way less bloated and overall lighter. Currently, for breakfast, I drink a smoothie that is made of green grapes, granny smith apple, spinach, oatmeal, and Greek yogurt. For lunch, I have a spinach chicken salad with a side of blueberries. For dinner, I eat chicken, mixed veggies, and cherries. I'm down 120 lbs. Went from 270 lbs to 150 lbs. I feel great.
@ANGELOFDARKification I appreciate the kind words of support. I've been in a calorie deficit since 2021. Every now and then, I'll eat at maintenance for a couple weeks but then it's back at a deficit
Cutting out carbs hugely messes with my mental health, ability to do my job, interferes with my sleep and makes my IBS worse. Balanced diet and a sensible calorie deficit along with regular exercise. Stay consistent are you’re all good 👍🏻
For me it's the opposite. Cutting out carbs makes my sleep better, recovery quicker, I feel more alert, less sluggish, zero bloating and I lose fat. I can also work out more flexibly because I need a long time to digest carb heavy meals. It's amazing how different we all are! My body always thanks me for it when I go low or no carb. Your body hates it. Which is why advice like this is so annoying, when all he's doing is speaking in absolutes like the other guy when that's simply not how human beings work. I'm glad you found what works for you ❤
Signs of a Working Conscience There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. -Proverbs 14:12 You’re never going to stop sinning as long as you’re breathing. But there’s a difference between being a sinner and living in a pattern of sin. And if you’re a true Christian, you won’t live in a pattern of sin. The Bible says, “Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God” (1 John 3:9-10) For example, if you’re a Christian and start to contemplate doing something that is sinful, and you’re aware that it’s wrong, that is a good sign. It’s good to come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. And if you end up doing the wrong thing anyway and then feel deep guilt afterward, that, too, is a good sign. It means that your conscience is working. Our consciences are like smoke alarms. The purpose of a smoke alarm is to alert us to danger, or the need to change the battery. In the same way, our consciences tell us that what we’re doing is wrong. However, you need to be concerned when you can contemplate a sin and don’t feel any conviction about it. You also need to be concerned when you can go through with that sin and don’t feel any guilt whatsoever. That means your conscience isn’t working. When God deals with us when we go astray, it’s an indication that we are children of God. The writer of Hebrews said, “My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child” (12:5-6) The fact that God convicts you and that He disciplines you when you have gone astray says that you are a child of God. If your children do something wrong and you discipline them, you’re simply doing your job as a parent. That is your responsibility. However, if someone else’s children misbehave, that is not your responsibility. Their discipline is the responsibility of their parents. In the same way, God disciplines us because we are His children, and He loves us. Maybe you’ve been doing some things you shouldn’t be doing, and you’ve sensed the discipline of God in your life. Or, you’re feeling guilty. If so, rejoice. It means that your conscience is working. When you don’t feel the guilt anymore, when you can sin again and again and feel nothing, that means you’re getting a hardened heart. The Bible warns, “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death” (Proverbs 14:12) If you feel guilt for your sin, here’s what you need to do: Go to Christ. He will forgive you. That is why He died on the cross.
@@islabee94same ! and i feel less hungry between meals, i don't really think about eating/snacking sweet foods all day. it really helps with my bloating too. i guess it's different for every people!
@@dogsarenotpets I deffo did. I know low carb works as a tool to put one in a cal deficit. No magic behind it. It’s that simple. It’s easier to sustain for many due to the satiety from protein/fat.
To be fair, I’m currently cutting carbs, not completely, just lower than most, keeping protein high and fat fairly high too, calories at a good level and spacing my meals out, I’m feeling strong, have energy, sleeping well and losing body fat, and not at a too fast pace. It seems to be working for me at the moment.
@@cloudless6088that or they're trying to counter the claims of con artists that try to sell low carb solutions like they're magical (eat all you want lose weight anyway). It's a lot easier for people to sew things black.or white
you guyz are just in a caloric deficit of course it's work, that's have nothing to do specially with carbs. is it the most smart way to do it ? no, does it work ? yes, do whatever you want
@@EpoQ-hg8vuno one is claiming you need to eat carbs. Instead, there are alot of BS claims that carbs are to be demonized. Carbs can be useful, the context matters. Can be useful doesn't mean it's a necessity. Low carb community strive on myths and confusion between fatloss and fat oxidation.
I don't care what anyone says. I've tried both ways and on lower carbs (more like almost zero carbs and 1 big carb reload weekly) I lost fat easily while eating 40% more calories than following a diet with carbs and maintained more muscle mass with less hunger and bloat. No, it was not just water weight. No, I did not miscount my calories nor increased my activity level. Your body does not consume food by setting it on fire which is how calories are measured. You must eat less to lose fat but food choice matters a lot.
@@dopeschool once you learn how calories are measured you understand that it's just energy in the form of heat and has nothing to do with how your body absorbs nutrients because your body is not a combustion engine. Calories are not all the same. You can't just drink a glass of gasoline(31000 kcal per gallon) to cover your caloric needs, right?
You're programmed to go crazy on carbs. It's a survival tactic from deep in our lizard brains. Low carb is your only chance to contain that urge in modern civilization
@@AndreyRubtsovRU I have been eating relatively low carbs for a while. Started off on Keto in 2020 weighing 275. Did Keto for around a month and lost 25 pounds (Was working out everyday too. After Keto I went on a low carb diet and within 6 months, I was around 198. Now I'm trying to cut at 225 and go low carb throughout the week and carb load on the weekend. What Keto taught me was how to be aware of your carb intake and how much random shit has carbs, condiments etc..
The thing is not that cutting out carbs will make you lose fat faster, but it will allow you to stay consistent. Carbs are so addictive. And I feel more sated without them. Having carbs only makes me want more carbs.
This is actually false. A person consuming the same amount of calories from protein is likely to experience more weight loss compared to someone consuming the same amount of calories from carbohydrates. This is because the body expends more energy processing protein, and protein consumption is more effective at maintaining muscle mass and reducing overall hunger and calorie intake. Look up Thermic Effect of Food.
@missjo2036 I feel as though this specific instance was the cause of multiple problems, not just protein consumption. In an average, healthy body any excess protein is crapped/pissed out with little issue. I do think, however, taking protein powder excessively is unhealthy. As long as you have a balanced diet and drink enough water you'll be fine, even in eating high amounts of protein.
Cutting carbs works because we tend to eat too much in the first place. A moderate amount of carbs are fine for most people. Especially for those doing manual labor. I work in an office. So things like doughnuts are the devil.
Give carnivore JT a search. He ate 4000 calories for a month on the carnivore diet and still managed to lose weight. He then ate the same amount of calories on a carb diet and put lots of weight on. It's insane.
Wrong, its a hormonal thing - they do not teach this in dietary or fitness instructional educations yet, so influencers with these degrees are reactionaries with no idea what its like for obese people with severely fucked up endocronology
Donuts aren’t good but oats are good for you. Where are you going to get the energy to exercise without some healthy less processed carbs? Carbs and processed sugar are two different things! And don’t get me started on the people that say sugar from fruit is bad for you!
As long as you are in a deficit you will loose weight. Most people underestimate how much fat they have in their diet if anything, it's far more calorie dense than carbohydrates
This applies when all things are equal but when you are insulin resistant things become more complicated. Till I was 30 it was all about calories in and calories out and just add protein and exercise. Then came the switch that seemed to go off and it seemed if i looked at food I would gain fat. I have tried the path of just moderation and portion control and then adding biking, swimming, lifting weights, splitting 30 cord of wood every year for 6 years, grass cutting, whipper snipping. Yes it all helped but even when I doing wood all summer on a keto diet and mostly drinking Gatorade zero and water and a few eggs and sandwich throughout the day… I still struggled with getting the weight down or keeping it down. I would watch 110 lb women bouncing back after have kids and eating whatever they wanted and eating more calories than me at 200lbs with muscle and constant manual labor… I was saying no to sweets and chips etc.. They could eat all they wanted. Those who say it is just calories in and calories out haven’t lived in others shoes.
Also Calories in and out is basically telling people to ignore learning about every type of nutrient and the benefits of each nutrient to the body, "it's all the same don't think about it". Also you got to think about it like did they actually test if the Calories thing works if you don't have a background in fitness, it might not even work at all without a baseline of underlying fitness metabolism.
@@atomiser2003 the Ketogenic low carb diet. Same calorie deficit to lose weight just the diet went Keto. I went from 250 down to 180 from June till November. However I basically was in the bush carrying logs and trees all day and split 30 cord of wood by hand, 1000 hrs of wood. I was also biking and swimming whenever I had free time. About 2 or 3 times a week. One ride was 75kms before noon. So… Ketogenic diet Eating in a 500 calorie deficit below maintenance calories. Then all the labour, exercise and activity I mentioned above. My brother did the same with office job over 1 year just restricting the calories to 500 under deficit. At first you have to track everything and realize even the butter you spread on your toast or the peanut butter can be defeating you. With fats you are talking 90 calories here and there by just teaspoons or table spoons. MCT oil - 110 calories for a table spoon. Butter- 80 to 90 calories for a couple teaspoons. Same with peanut butter, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil. 10% Cream in coffee 20 calories for a tiny bit. 60 to 80 is what most put in coffee.
Exactly. Prime example is a Type 1 diabetic that can’t make insulin wasting away even if they eat 10k calories because insulin is what tells your body to store the fuel. So keeping insulin low helps lose weight quicker. Obviously calories count too. For those that still don’t see the point, check out Prof Ben Bikman’s lectures 💪🏼

The primary value that I found in low-carb dieting was that it locks out like 90%+ of calorically dense foods. For me, at least, it's never really been about the carbs. It's that a burger bun is often like 2/3rds of the calorie content of the burger, and 2 oreos have the same calories as a small meal. It was just easier to say "have none of this" than "have a little bit of this." Fixing macros could could come later, my obesity was an immediate health concern. 100 lbs in a half year, though. Being a healthy weight again feels good.
If you kept room in your day for a couple hundred calories worth of ice cream, you could still be in a deficit eating it and lose weight. Also, desert? LOL, desert.....who does that? 5 year olds need something sweet after a big salty dinner?
There is no way you just portrayed ice cream as a carb... you low carb people are actually insane. This is like listening to a 400 pound person talk about their nutritional knowledge. Which is apt, as every keto cultist is at least 300lbs.
Being in ketosis increases your tdee and numerous controleld studies in metabolic wards show that the rate of fat loss increases proportional to the same calorie deficit as a western diet. These are dexa scan measurements too, what's widely considered the most accurate way to asses bodyfat compostition. People saying otherwise are saying so because keto for body composition is understudied, and many meta-analysis studies reference free lvining subjects, which is poor methodology. Look up the keto weightlose article on healthline to read more about these studies. A calorie is simply not a calorie and is subject to change based on your macronutrients and other hormonal factors. Focusing on CICO is a terrible way to lose weight. Most people that try to get in a calorie defi it are always hungry and are prone to binging. Limit either carbs or fat and avoid added sugars and youll be eating to satiety, or even in a deficit. Trust me it's hard to scarf down bowls of plain oatmeal like ice cream, or sirloin steaks by the pound
@mindmonkey00 I'll look into these, mate. I was on carnivore almost all of last year, and the weight ripped off me. I was always full and full of energy. I was eating way over my calorie maintenance that I was on on the Western diet, i couldn't believe it. I came back on a carb diet in February to bulk, and I'm about to go back on carnivore again to cut and maintain.
@RonSill1986 Yeah buddy. Doing keto right now. Honestly, easiest cut of my life. Plenty of energy, no constant hunger, and can eat plenty of delicious food. It's hard to feel like im dieting when I can have as much steak and bacon as I want
You may not lose fat faster, but you can definitely KEEP the weight off long term eating low carb. About 90% of people who eat in a calorie deficit & lose weight, gain it right back. Losing water weight quickly is extremely motivating for the average person & is exactly what many overweight ppl need. Those first 10 lbs gone gives you a big confidence boost. What many ppl struggle with is being so hungry while in a calorie deficit & reverting to their old eating habits. But Eating low carb makes you stay full A LOT longer and takes away your junk food/sugar cravings. That alone changes the game while being in a deficit & makes it 100 times easier. People don’t just get excited about losing water weight, but at the fact that they’ve finally found something sustainable for the long term that gives them control over their cravings for the rest of their lives.
I too Used to think keto/lowcarb was bullshit. Got sick and had to go on medication, started cutting out sugar and then slowly as I learned carbs turn into sugar I cut more out. I felt sooo much better and was able to not take medication, my lifelong depression is gone and I effortlessly lost 60+lbs without food chatter, no feeling hungry or deprived. It’s amazing! I get some carbs from low carb fruit and low carb veggies but for the most part I’m zero carb some days. Don’t knock it until you try it, feels like magic
He wasn't knocking it. He was just saying that a lot of the online "facts" spoken about a low-carb diet are total B.S. The only way to lose fat is to lower calories, period. If low-carb works for some, more power to them! But it's not a magic diet and like he said, it has no advantages against a normal lo-calorie diet
Yeah same I did keto and intermittent fasting and lost 20 lbs in 2 months. I was like wow the weight literally melted off. It was kinda scary how fast I came off
I’ve lived on carbs my entire life, all my favorite food contains carbs, so it was really hard to lose weight. when I started my keto diet, I no longer had access to those foods and I had to seek for new foods. Cutting out the carbs change my entire life I no longer felt sleepy after eating so I can get through the day without napping which in turn led to a consistent good night sleep. My gas disappeared no longer did I feel bloated all the time. The bloating from my legs, face and arms was gone. I only eat one meal a day (lunch) so the rest of the day I feel great not even feeling hungry off the pressure of consistently thinking of what to eat for breakfast and dinner. I’ve been on this keto diet for over seven years now and yes, you do need to have a calorie deficit if you want to lose weight, but if you want to lose weight and keep that weight off for me keto diet was the better choice.
@@-Couch_Potato- simple or complex they worked together to get me hooked on carbs. Complex carbs are carbs too, they just digest slower which raises insulin level slowly over a long period of time compared to simple carbs. It’s like do you want your insulin in one go? Or want it continuously flowing. The point is they both mess with insulin and it’s related hormones which I did not like. Restricting carbs altogether was the answer for me.
Cutting out carbs is actually the key for most ppl in cutting their total calorie intake. Much less carbs and more protein in their diets usually equates to less eating needed to feel full in the very most basic and beginner to intermediate sense
This is just not true. Protein and *Carbs* give *much* higher satiety than fats in all available literature. The main thing cutting out carbs does is remove beer and sugar drinks from people’s diets. It also generally makes finding food harder which will lead to weight loss in the short term but makes long term compliance less likely.
@@sergioperez2771 for sure, but while there are some people who need to be educated that the reality of energy balance cannot be circumvented it’s not a very useful answer to just tell people to be in a deficit. If we want to give people good advice we need to educate them on how to keep hunger low, activity high, keep muscle, and get good sleep. Focusing on high complex carb and high protein foods will help with all of that.
Have you any advice/videos for women 60+ who can’t lose post-menopausal weight gain please? If not, can you do one and explain what foods we should be eating because everything I do doesn’t shift the fat. Thank you very much.
Going low carbs or cutting them out almost completely would make most people healthier IMO. If you're sedentary and are working a desk job, you probably don't need more than 50g of total carbs a day tbh. Sounds insane for most but dont knock it until you try it. I mostly eat meat, eggs and cheese and I feel fantastic. I did lose water weight initially, but I also lost some fat, knocked brain fog completely and my energy levels are constant throughout the day. I'm not constantly hungry and I don't ever think about snacking on some sugary treats. Most people with a regular carb rich diet can't say the same
This. If you do manual labour, go ahead and eat your carbs. But those of us sitting behind a desk most of the day and only really getting a workout from actually just intentionally working out, we don't need many carbs. I'm not carrying bricks up and down stairs all day, I don't need that kind of energy. I need slow energy that just keeps my brain fueled as I mainly work with my mind.
yeah, but if you have carb sensitivity or insulin resistance, cutting down carbs is the way. since i've gone low carb, i can manage my hunger better, get satiated more quickly, which, in turn, helps to maintain calorie deficit 🤷♂️ it's impossible when i eat carbohydrates
@@Lapinettepetitbébé when I started low carb, I also felt hungry almost all the time. it's because I was addicted to sugar and "the hunger" I felt was because my blood glucose levels after eating low carb were lower than before. I powered through these couple of days, used 0 calorie sweetener and my sugar and carb cravings went away. also I ate more protein and fat to feel less hungry. Once you detox from sugar and carbs, you stop feeling hungry without them.
@@Lapinettepetitbébé but why? You’re can eat healthy fats like cheese, butter, eggs, avocado, etc. I can’t imagine anyone putting these things regularly in their diet being hungry.
For me, cutting carbs and doing Keto helped me stay more satiated with protein and fat so I didnt overeat. It also helped keep me away from high calorie sugary foods that I tended to indulge in. As long as it's a sustainable diet for you to eat less calories, it's fine. Honestly depends on the person!
All carbs are also not the same. Eating grains and pasta is going to give your body the carbs it needs to store as energy for workouts. Eating donuts will do the same but also provide your body with an 800+ additional calorie surplus that will probably lead to weight gain. I hate when people make blanket statements about carbs like all carbs are surgery desserts. All carbs are not equal. Some are good for you and some are not.
@@sensaiko At the simplest, most basic level yes, calories in calories out works best because many people consume significantly more calories than they realize. Good calories, bad calories (Taubes), Why we get sick (Bikmin), the obesity code (fung), shows more in depth reasons (hormonal, insulin, etc) with data to back it up. Ultimately, most people need to just eat less. From there it can be optimized.
@@pv3627 It's not about eating less. It's about eating more nutritionally dense, satiating, filling foods so that you feel full and don't feel hungry. Eating foods that don't give you the nutrition you need leaves you feeling hungry, and the reason keto works so well is because meat and high protein diets gives you most of the nutrients you need.
@@cloudless6088 I agree with you. You’re referring to, as I mentioned, optimization. At the most basic level though, people eat waaay too much (especially processed/junk food). Get cravings and habits under control, then optimize. Get “calories in, calories out” under control, then graduate to eating more nutritious options.
I have never been too overweight, but i was always going up and down in weight depending on the training efforts. And for lomg time struggled to lose some stubborn 5-6 kilos. First time in my life this year i started counting calories. It absolutely changed everything. I did not need to get myself deprived of anything, and i am in the lowest weight and best shape in years. Because now before i eat things i simply do quick calculations in my mind, nothing too complex. I am never hungry which feels great.
Cutting carbs is the easiest way to get people to cut a majority of garbage ultra processed food out of their diet. For many it also helps with appetite suppression
You can also go low fat, and focus on complex carbs with whole grains and no added sugar and accomplish the same thing. Both low carb and low fat are good diets. All junk food is essentially just high fat and high carb
@@mindmonkey00 The body needs fat to function well though, the low fat you do eat should be healthy sources. Cells are covered in lipids, in other words fat, and that fat has to come from somewhere.
Why would cutting out carbs not be more effective? Yes it's a lot of a water weight at first, but avoiding insulin spikes and going into ketosis absolutely helps burn fat. Sure, if your main focus in life is health and working out, you can get fit by many different methods. But for most people, cutting carbs (which includes sugar) is the most effective way, period.
Because cutting carbs completely makes allot of people feel weak since complex carbs give you energy, it would be beneficial for most people to reduce the intake of carbs they have since they usually get them from eating way too much of foods like pasta but generally a balanced diet that includes all food groups is what most people will be able to do more consistently.
This is correct, however low carb has more to do with feeling full with less calories. Calories are all that matters but the journey to a deficit will be different for everyone. High protein is probably the best advice I have heard for resistance training.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: No, despite what you might’ve seen on some Instagram page or Netflix documentary, carbohydrates themselves are not inherently fattening on a calorie for calorie basis. Carbs contain calories just like any macronutrient and so they can certainly contribute to a calorie surplus (the actual cause of fat gain) if you’re consuming large amounts. However, when total calories are equated carbs do not lead to greater net fat accumulation. Not only that, but most typical foods people think of as “high carb” (cookies, donuts, pastries, cakes, muffins etc.) are high in both carbs AND fat. In other words, they’re just high calorie in general. This doesn’t mean low carb is “bad”, and if you personally prefer a lower carb diet and feel good physically and mentally that way, go for it. But at the same time, there’s no need to go out of your way to restrict carbs unless you have a specific reason for doing so. When it all comes down to it, what truly matters for losing fat while maintaining muscle (or possibly gaining depending on the conditions) is that you create a calorie deficit while consuming sufficient protein. As long as you’re doing that, the specific macro breakdown you use is a secondary factor and should be primarily based on what you can most easily adhere to. Regardless of what anyone tries to tell you, net energy balance (calories in vs. calories out) is still the underlying principle that governs overall fat loss/fat gain - not any one particular macronutrient or food group.
Its easier to feel satiated on fats and proteins than carbs for an equal amount of calories. Different macronutrients have different effects on hormones and so different effects on your brain and satiation. While you're correct from a thermodynamics perspective people's have to still actually maintain the deficit, and your brain and hormones are going to work against most people more when on high carbs vs high fat and high protein.
The problem is high carb diets on people that do not exercise. Not burning glycogen means excess carbs get turned into triglycerides so you might as well be eating fat instead. Fat people are insulin resistant, period. Eating refined carbs all the time makes you insulin resistant how an alcoholic becomes resistant to alcohol. Being insulin resistant makes you require more insulin which means insulin levels stay elevated longer. In the presence of insulin, hormone sensitive lipase can NOT pull fat from storage to burn for energy. If you snack on carbs every 3 hours, you are constantly preventing your body from burning fat for energy. Even worse, if you are eating low calorie pure carb foods, you can use up the energy from the carbs and still have elevated insulin levels. If you run out of glycogen, and have elevated insulin preventing the burning of fat; your body can actually cannibalize muscle to use for energy. Fasting helps reduce insulin spiking, allows your digestive system to settle, and allows your body to break down fat for energy uninterrupted. When you do eat, try keeping meals under 100g of carbs. If you are obese try to limit each meal to 1 carb item and don't drink any liquid carbs. If you want to eat more carbs then you need to exercise. Flour is 90% as bad as sugar. Anything processed gets into your blood faster. Raw fruit the sugar is bound in fiber and at least slows the release into your blood. Pureeing basically turns it into soda and exposes the nutrients to oxidation. You don't have to stop eating them altogether (unless you are diabetic, it can be reserved by cutting all carbs). Just realize that they are unhealthy, and that fat or protein is healthier. Unless you exercise in which case you actually use glycogen reserves for energy. Supposedly the ranges of glycogen men store is 250-450g and women is 175-350g. More muscles = more glycogen storage. You don't need 450g unless you are Eddie hall, and even then 450g is 1800 calories worth of glycogen. You probably aren't fully depleting reserves without session that are a few hours long.
@@Brometheus420 Good explanation. Fitness influencers always discount the effect of hormones. "Calories in and calories out" sounds good, and its technically right, until you realize that the hormones triggered by different macros regulate how many calories your brain will want you to take in and how many calories your body is able to output healthily (and from what sources).
@@Acotonot eating enough carbs can increase cortisol and decrease gym performance. So if you gonna do low carb then save all your carbs for before and after your workouts
@@Brometheus420it still doesn’t matter if overall calorie consumption is lower because you’ll only be able to snack so much so you’ll still have plenty of time for lipase to do its thing
Storing fat is an entirely different matter than burning fat, because insulin your body only uses insulin to store fat when we overeat. The idea that when we avoid carbs, our insulin levels are lower, and so we can more easily shed fat cells because we are reducing the level of the hormone that made the fat in the first place, is simplistic. Your liver will make glucose from whatever it has available. Yes, there are bigger blood sugar spikes when we eat a lot of junk food all at once, but that doesn't necessarily make us gain weight. Your system will make fat cells and send insulin to store them in your tissues, from whatever it was that you had just eaten that was in excess of what your body needed to operate. Not specifically carbs.
exactly.. most of my favorit meals happen to be carb heavy(pizza,pasta,rice,all kinds of pastries) i work in an office where i sit on chair all day so obviously im gonna gain a lot of weight. i cut down on my carb consumption like a month ago and im already 5 kg lighter.
@leonbelmont4028 It's sad that people think an apple is the same thing as a slice of cake. By that logic, a grilled chicken breast is the same thing as pizza because they both have protein. FYI pastries are high in fat. They're not just a "carb." They're loaded with oil, butter, milk, and eggs.
@@leonbelmont4028sounds like a skill and discipline issue. Low carb worked for you because you didn't know how to stop eating or practice portion control.
Carbs are shit because carbs are processed (most of them) But in that kind of logic everything is shit because they are processed (fats and protein). So what’s what they mean when they say carbs are bad. Single ingredients whole foods like potatoes, brown/black rice and other carbs ARE EXCELLENT. Eat only SINGLE ingredient foods, if you can’t , you make excuses, YOU ARE WEAK AF THEN
Carbs are not more calorie dense. They are 4 calories per gram of carbs, which is the same as protein. And everything has a nutritional list that says how many carbs and calories are in food
Factually wrong. Carbs have 4 calories per gram, just like protein. Fats have about 8 per gram. I also wouldn't call potatoes and rice more processed than other foods, and processing something is completely irrelevant to weight loss. If you count calories it literally doesn't matter what you cut out. Though sugar and saturated fat are the best to cut out to stay healthy
Not entirely true, someone who eats no carbs and only protein but same amount of calories as someone who eats mainly carbs will burn more calories than carb eater, revise your facts
Yeah I got that too. Same calories no carbs, high protein and good fats and you will not only lose it faster but lose fat way faster than someone eating carbs.
Are you accounting for exercise? The carb source/type of carb? Starting weight of both individuals? Too many variables to make such a blanket statement like this?
@@actnow3 He's technically correct because the thermic effect of protein is higher than that of carbohydrates (i.e. it takes your body more energy to convert protein to energy than it does to convert carbs to energy, so if you eat 1,000 calories of protein vs. 1,000 calories of carbs, for example, you'll burn more energy to convert the protein, thus net reduction in total calories - BUT, this also doesn't account for changes in metabolism and NEAT that occur with various changes in intake), but that isn't really the point of this video.
I think he’s just trying to inform people that exclusively cutting out carbs is not the sole answer. Does help though especially for Americans. We practically live on modified carbs as a society.
disagree with this. I’ve been following what Eddie abbew says. And just eating vegetables and protein and fats. It really does help you look more lean and muscular. He says to lose fat you need to be in a calorie defesit. That’s wrong. Healthy foods have high calories such as nuts 🥜 and avocados 🥑 and steak 🥩 probably more calories than unhealthy foods. But you won’t get fat eating this. It’s sugar and carbs that make you fat
@@jimmybaldwin737 Wrong , I did just that . Thought the same as you stated and began gaining weight and felt very tired from all that avocado steak and nut fat . When I began tracking the calories I discovered I was eating 3000 a day when my maintenance is 2200 thereby leaving me in a hyper caloric state each day if 800 calories . That’s equates to 1.5 lbs a week weight gain . Reduced my calories instead to 1800 (with plenty of vegetable fruit CARBS and began dropping the weight .
@@Iconic3509 Well, how do you operate, and execute, caloric deficit. I follow what I mentioned, but that's not all. You don't hold it as a standalone. For example, if I'm going to eat, I don't allow the first 3-5 signals; ie, hunger pangs. So there's that coupled with my comment. I also eat what breaks down fast, and eat on the slower side. As soon as I eat 3/4 bites, I'm already feeling it change. And font be afraid of fat, BUT use it like a supplement. There's also DNA involved. If you're large framed, and have a big round head, you can't intake what a thinner person does. Your default isn't set that way. "Wiry" guys don't work like thick-boned individuals. Many factors involved, and I think what most get wrong is hearing a rule and separating it from context of all the other considerations -- as a unit. One rules effects all other rules, and connects FROM other rules. For you, I'd say you store more. That should be easy to catch and simply adjust. You'll have to stress your body to alter what it does and how it responds. However, don't stack the fats; avocado, nut, etc, together in one day?? I wouldn't. Let your body "read" them and figure out which one feels like it's satisfying your blood. The idea is to convert food to glucose. So I'd recommend combining a starch (potatoes, rice) with a meat choice (beef, pork). Stay away from things like breads and noodles in high amounts, but if you use them, maybe use them on a cheat day and as a side dish rather than a while meal. And be sure the proportions of , say, pasta, is only about 22-25% if you gain weight from storing your food. And when you lose "weight, remember that you're not. You're reducing unwanted mass. If you want a good cleanse, I can give you something that works too, but you still have to note what's up with how your body responds with each shift in what you're doing. So I'm not really wrong unless you think I'd isolate my view. I don't do that. Oh, and avocado is almost like meat the way I supplement it. I a
When you get into your late 30s you’ll realise that carbs make you feel like shit. Switching to high fat high protein and low carbs whole food will change your life. Nobody has a 60g protein steak and wants to go to sleep. However, 60g of rice and I want to curl up like a baby 😂
False. Not true for everyone. Maybe for you, but I'm in my late 30s and a runner. If I don't eat carbs before intense workouts and long runs, my training suffers. I feel sluggish and my body doesn't have the energy reserves necessary to perform.
Wrong. 1) Low glycemic index high fiber carbs like whole grain steel cut oats, quinoa, and brown rice are extremely nutritious, protein-filled, and **the** best fuels you can have for intense or long workouts. 2) Carbs in general spike serotonin which make you feel sleepy. The effect is much heavier if the carb is low quality. 3) Green veggies are carbs. Eat your veggies 4) Fruit are carbs. Eat your fruit
@@fishingmule3266 youre a human and thats why what you just said is utter garbage. You dont believe it yourself, dont you? Fats DONT have the same effect like carbs. Carbs mess with your blood sugar. Carbs let you crash. Fats dont do that, not healthy ones. Youre not an anomaly. Youre lying here.
I’ve had this argument with my father so many times. Carbs are not evil. The single biggest benefit to cutting them out is you inherently cut out junk food too since that is 99% carbs. But if you just eat clean and maintain a reasonable calories deficit, you can have carbs. Again, they aren’t evil.
I’m on a high carb low fat diet . The work I do is high intensity . plus I also go to the gym for two hours 4 to 5 times a week . That diet benefits me and I feel and look the best so far since switching . Everyone is different
Cutting out carbs works because thats where most people get the majority of their calories. Calorie deficit is of course the thing that works, we just gotta ask how to do that in the best way possible.
This is such BS, given that the vast majority of people aren’t just eating candy and drinking juices and sodas all day. Realistically carbs are NOT where people get the majority of their calories from, most of the time it’s the loads of fat that accompany the carbs making them tasty as hell. Tomorrow, try eating 4000 cals of lean meats, vegetables, fruits, rice and potatoes (with no added fats) and let me know how that goes? I bet after 2500 cals, you won’t be hungry and will have to force feed yourself the remaining 1500 cals.
@@00Dawggg I would already (slowly) gain weight at 2500 calories lol. I used to take in 800+ calories from soda alone each day. Fruits can also have a fuck load of calories. If you like drinking smoothies all day it's easy. And it's not like I said carbs is your only source of calories. You can cut fat to lose weight too but it's never been as effective for me as cutting carbs cause my foods are always carb heavy and if you're cooking at home and not dumping gallons of oil in your food then it's probably not fat that's your issue.
@@noodlesthe1st all I’m saying is a well balanced whole food diet of lean protein, carbs and fat is better long term for most people. Carbs are not the enemy for healthy individuals without any medical issues. Most of the people that are overweight aren’t getting there by eating too much rice, potatoes, fruits, veggies and lean meats… they are overweight because they would consume excessive junk calories But at the end of the day, the diet that allows you to adhere to it long term is best. This is coming from a guy who put on 60lbs after I stopped playing college ball and lost it all by eating a balanced diet and tracking my calories/macros
@@00Dawggg totally agree with you. I never intended to say going carb free is the only answer. Calorie deficit is the only answer and there are many paths to that. And absolutely a healthy balanced diet is the best long term option because it's balanced you have no deficiencies. I always tell people to find and stick to the diet that they can tolerate because the only way it ever works is by sticking to it and it doesn't need to be the optimal diet or the only way to do things. A healthy balanced diet works for you, for my 78 year old (at the time) father it was a crash diet for 2 weeks with 400 calories a day and he did this a few times. Got to his desired weight. And has kept it off. Different things work for different people.
I went on every diet and tried fasting but the fat loss was minimal. Once i started weight training hard and consistent with a controlled diet, body recomposition kicked in started seeing great results.
The laws of thermodynamics apply to CLOSED thermal systems. Nature and biology aren't a closed system so LITERALLY the laws of thermodynamics DO not apply. Go read a text book, I'm not winding you up... Literally you're wrong here
@@andyhammond32 The laws of thermodynamics kinda apply to every system once you consider the right surrounding tho... The universe has a finite ammount of energy
@@andyhammond32they do apply to open systems, such as a human body, as well. How do you think it works? You think you eating food transcends some of the most fundamental principles of reality? Please..
I’ve been learning so much about fat loss and exercise recently because of channels like yours, and I can’t wait for my efforts to pay off with the physical appearance of my body. I already FEEL better internally, which has been gratifying and motivating. Once I look the part, too, I’ll be unstoppable.
And i thought i was the only one with emergency diet bail-out bagels within arms reach at all times. I might launch my idea for the bagel holster after all
My one caveat to what you are saying is that cutting carbs makes it easier to cut out calories and maintain a calorie deficit. It's too easy to lose track of calories consumed from carbs.
I do a lot of intense cardio because I enjoy it. Going low carb not only gave me severe brain fog, it made me feel like I wanted to die during my workouts. Low carb ain't for everyone.
Going from high to low carb intake takes quite a bit of time for the body to adjust and is the reason most people drop it. Personally, people who think carb loading is good for intense training are just as bad as those who promote keto for everything.
@@CM-ou4zr Not sure what that's supposed to mean? You eating donuts before your workout didn't make you shredded correct? The actual workout is what did and having 100g of sugar isn't needed for that. So, no, I'm not wrong. You just have a reading comprehension issue.
@@winebartender6653 People who carbo load for intense workouts aren't carbo loading every day. Runners don't carbo load 7 days a week for their one long run during that timespan. They do it the night before, and if they're actual runners, they're not doing it with donuts and sugary treats. They're eating pasta or grains. Carbs are actually very important for people who employ intense workout sessions. Carbs are what your body primarily uses to store energy for those workouts. Without them, your body has to use less energy dense sources to compensate and your training will likely suffer.
@@brandonb.5304 My comment isn't directed at those that are doing it for a one off event. I'm well aware of the need for large glycogen storage before something like a marathon. It's those who are eating like that day in and day out for their 1 hour lifting sessions 3-4 days a week.
Cutting out the same calories but doing low carb vs eating sugar and processed carbs will make you lose a ton more fat, faster, and be healthier. Processed carbs = insulin resistance, sugar is also has an estrogenic effect. Low carb and higher fats will increase your testosterone levels while reversing insulin resistance, it’s the most efficient way to burn fat.
Student here, Tried to cut all carbs, it was too expensive for me. You can get a 2kg bag of potatoes for like 2 euros, and it will last you at least 4 days. Speaking from experience, Most important thing is being in a calorie deficit in a manner that is sustainable to you.
For the calories and micronutrients, meat is actually pretty cheap. I could get 2 pounds of ground beef for less than 7 or 8 bucks, and I'm fed the whole day. And that's in this economy. When I lived in Ireland, I could get the same amount of ground beef for about 4 and a half USD.
It's true, I work construction, I basically live off hamburger and chicken breasts and stay 178 lbs at 6'1" and 44 years old. No extra workouts or exercises.
People forget that carbs require your body to release insulin and insulin is involved with both protein synthesis and nutrient partitioning. Lost the most muscle trying keto during a cut. Found intermittent fasting with fasted cardio was the best for me. Saved most of my carbs for around workout windows and late evenings to help me avoid snacking before bed and improve sleep quality because an insulin spike usually makes you a little more tired. Gotta do what works for you though.
@@motherclucker1235 Protein wasn't the issue. I was 190 pushing 240-280 grams of protein per day during my keto trial. Lost the muscle because my cut was too aggressive and I lost an entire biological mechanism for preventing catabolism because I wanted to try something new. I had no carbs which meant no glucose to spike insulin and help spare some precious muscle. Protein was definitely not the issue during that phase. I was eating plenty of it for my weight at the time because I couldn't backfill my calories with carbs once my protein goal was met, so had to eat more protein to feel full. Not to mention my workouts suffered due to a lack of glycogen because again, no carbs. Always felt flat and couldn't really push as hard during workouts. Reintroduced carbs and the above issues pretty much vanished. Still lost a little muscle but not at the same rate as on keto. Major point being, everyone always says eat more protein, however, during a cut you're always going to lose SOME muscle tissue regardless of your macros but you'll lose MORE if you cut carbs completely because you're annihilating an entire pathway for protein sparing during a weight loss phase by removing carbs. It's important to recognize the synergy of the biological mechanisms at play for each macro being in a healthy range during a cut. In my opinion you need all of them to be optimal. The body has many mechanisms for preventing catabolism besides just breaking down protein into amino acids. Tldr protein wasn't the issue carbs were. Free biology lesson I guess.
There is no scientific research supporting "fasting" and tons of research supporting CICO. 😂 Cope more. Carbs are protein sparing because to lift weights you need sugar as fuel and if you don't eat carbs your body pulls amino acids from your muscles
Anytime you eat you spike insulin... With or without carbs, just an FYI. I had the exact opposite result as you, which just reiterates that you find a plan that works for your body type and stick with it. What doesn't work for you, might work for someone else. Keep an open mind, your solution might not be the answer for someone else.
Nah, that's not my experience at all. I don't calorie count, ever. I cut out refined carbs and sugar 18 moths ago and lost around 3 and a half stone. It's down to what food you eat. A calorie is not a calorie.
It is tho, you lost weight because you were in a caloric deficit. Foods with lots of sugar and carbs usually are more calorie dense and you dont realise how much calories you actually ate, so when you cut it out and replace with something with no carbs essentially you started eating less calories. 1g of carbs takes about 4kcal same as protein, fat takes 9kcal. So yes calorie is a calorie, a unit of energy.
Lets get this straight. If you understand how blood glucose works, which you clearly don't, you know that you want it stable. It's essentially blood sugar. How do you maintain a stable blood glucose level? You cut out carbs and replace it with fat. Ketosis. Eating carbs causes an insulin response, which in turn causes blood glucose to spike. The crash from this causes a hunger response. Keep the blood glucose stable (keto) and you don't feel hungry. This is why so many people lose weight on keto: they simply don't feel hungry.
I have to admit it can become problematic after a while. After a few months of keto, I found myself having to force myself to eat cause I was simply never hungry. Even tasty stuff like bacon, I simply wasn't in the mood anymore. So now I just do a "refeed" of carbs every now and then, it may kick me out of ketosis for a bit but I can at least eat with some joy again.
Oh gosh... You guys would do anything to not live normally. Asians eat carbs, Mediterranean eat carbs, Africans eat carbs in a moderate mesure. And they are mostly thin! The only thing in common is that they eat unprocessed food and no processd sugar. But if you feel that you need torture to live. Well, go ahead !
Carbohydrates are one of the 3 macronutrients. Carbohydrates, fats and protein. Carbohydrates are energy. You can try and live your life in ketosis and get all your energy from ketones ...good luck with that.
@@jasonwilcox6637gluconeogenesis Edit: from Wikipedia: Gluconeogenesis (GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the biosynthesis of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates. It is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[1] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis occurs mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. It is one of two primary mechanisms - the other being degradation of glycogen (glycogenolysis) - used by humans and many other animals to maintain blood sugar levels, avoiding low levels (hypoglycemia).
I think low fat is better. Because our muscles need carbs for energy, not fat for energy. If we take low carbs, we'll lose muscle before losing fat. It just takes time for our muscles to get rid of excess fat. The extra fat also causes various health issues. So, taking carbs for energy is better than fat.
Wrong. Insanely wrong. First of all, you'd have to absolutely STARVE yourself to deplete your muscles. Secondly, your body adapts to burning fat for fuel instead of carbs JUST fine. There is verifiable proof that has been shown for decades. From athletes to bodybuilders to medical doctors. Healthy fats do NOT cause "various health issues" You're spewing nonsense. Stop that.
Cutting sugar is good for weight loss and most importantly for health reasons. You can look great on the outside and your body is sick on the inside. Sorry but Cutting carbs will help you lost weight fast. I do agree with the fact that less calories will help you lose weight also. But carbs is not necessary at all not even for energy as so many say.
Run when you hear : "The only true requirement is that you maintain a calorie deficit" - because of this being promoted people will ave health issues, hormone issue, heart issues.
Lowering simple carbohydrates yes, but must have complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates keep blood glucose and energy good because they have more molecules to break down. Simple carbohydrates typically are single molecules that spike everything for a moment then crash.
I went Keto for four weeks. Lost 16 pounds but got stuck. I work out six days a week trying to be in calorie deficit. Decided I’m going back to regular food but trying to stay calorie deficit as I did before Keto. I’m down 45 pounds overall. In the end it’s all about diet and exercise. The sad truth.
Not sure if you’re still doing keto but everyone goes through a plateau.. for me it happens after every 30 days of continuous ketosis, where I stop loosing weight. I intentionally kick my body out of ketosis by eating a few slices of pizza then bam my body gets shocked into doing its keto thing again. Hope this helps.
At the end of the day, you have to stay consistent and trust the process. Alot of people give in and think they need a trainer but most people just give up becuase they hit a "plateau." Yes, your metabolism may slow down when you get to your last shed of pounds but eventually, it will wear off.
@@GailPergent yes at the end of the day definitely its cutting calories and to cut all carbs (like all of them) i try to have less than 10 a day at most..only getting few from creamer and vegetables. Simple math..3500 cal= 1lb. So eating less calories but also eating enough fats, proteins for my recommended body weight to maintain maximum keto effectiveness. Last thing you want is your body to go into starvation mode that’ll really slow things down. * and no I was eating unhealthy till one day I threw everything out and went healthy shopping. Took a few days ti enter into ketosis but it kicked my sugar addiction and am still dropping weight with minimal exercise due to a hernia.
Low simple carbs is however a good thing for many people because simple carbs have a high glycemic index which means they spike and crash insulin levels a lot, which causes a high spike in hunger hormones after just a few hours of eating these foods. As a treat or cheat meal is fine but try not to eat these regularly during a cut as they make you more hungry and make cutting unnecessarily tougher
Cutting carbohydrates can be highly effective for weight loss, particularly because many individuals attempting to lose fat may have some degree of insulin resistance. Research supports this approach; a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that low-carb diets can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and lead to greater weight loss compared to other dietary strategies. Personally, I have experienced more rapid weight loss on a ketogenic diet compared to simply maintaining a caloric deficit. Therefore, I believe that combining a low-carb approach with a caloric deficit is optimal for weight loss.
@@icanmanifest it’s not nonsense. That’s what the science day. I can also lose weight with a higher carb diet. Overall volume of food still matters. Dude. You’re arguing with the established science. Read a medical textbook. There is no fat gain without insulin. That’s why type 2 diabetics waste away despite eating more. You can lose weight on an all-rice diet and even reverse diabetes on said diet. It doesn’t mean that the insulin model is wrong or the carbohydrates insulin model of obesity is wrong. Open a medical textbook and read the effects of insulin on enzymes like hormone sensitive lipase.
I also find that a low carb diet is less sustainable than a calorie deficit since it’s a important macro in general and a deficit still allows you to eat the foods you like ( in moderation); as long as the deficit isn’t too extreme of course.
I lost 13kg in 2 months on a animal diet. Everything animal protein together with 1 fruit after each meal, and honey in my coffee. Went from 102kg down to 89kg in 2 months. I ate about 5000-5500cca per day and my sport was playing on PlayStation. I did it 2 times already and always under the supervision of the doctors and bloodworks to check the blood values, insulin resistance etc. Never felt better in my entire life. Testosterone was back, sex life was booming. So many health problems disappeared. No more headaches, no more snoring. No more hurt burns. Many chronic diseases just disappeared. It's not just about losing weight. But I was HEALING!!! But I'm a nobody. No influencer. Not trying to convince you. I convinced myself by experimenting on myself instead of listening to all your opinions.
Bruh, Carnivore diets DO work for some people. Take Jordan Peterson and his daughter's case for instance. But for the vast majority of people, a well-balanced diet is optimal.
I’m down almost 35 pounds eating a HIGH carb diet. It’s the principle of calorie density. Vegetables, fruit and whole grains are lower in calories per pound. I cut out animal products and oil. Being able to eat potatoes, rice, oatmeal, fruit, etc and have the fat melt off? Love it. You get to eat big portions too. Thanks to the high carb/calorie density content creators on YT!
"Hydrate" just means that the molecule contains hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrate in carbohydrate is not water. It's actually OH-, and it's tightly bound in the molecule by covalent bonds.
I just cut out processed foods and foods with added sugars. Eat plant based for the most partI also eat twice a day with smaller portions. I eat between 12-7 daily. I drink one cup of coffee daily, warer, and coconut water only.I walk daily. I've lost 20 pounds in 6 months.
I went carnivore and consumed over 3000 calories daily, and lightweight HIIT 3 days per week and dropped 25 lbs in 30 days. When you cut out all carbs, your body will use stored fat for ketones (energy). Glucose will be made from protein when it's needed. No carbs needed.
Yea you cut 1/3 of your bodys source for fuel no crap you lost weight😂 i eat nothing but whole grain pasta and bread and a ton of oatmeal and I lost 30 lbs explain that its called a calorie deficit you can eat nothing but Twinkie’s and lose weight it doesn’t matter you just have to eat less then your burning and you’ll lose weight its thermodynamics
I've done all the diets, all of them. They all work, except I couldn't ever stick to any long term because it was a diet mindset - restrictive - temporary etc etc. Wanting fast results has got me back to where I started, overweight and insecure. So, now I am starting a new journey with no macro restrictions, no counting every ounce, no going HAM, instead a new lifestyle where health is the ultimate goal with weight loss being the benefit. Incorporating fasting seems to be the best approach to be in a calorie deficit. Let's see how this goes! I will record and post my progress on YT
