Calories in/out is a good guide BUT it hugely simplifies the complex metabolic processes that are involved when there's weight gain or loss. For example certain ethnic groups gain significantly more weight than their white counterparts when HFCS replaces regular sugar in their diet. Another example is when on a very low carb diet ie. ketosis where your calories come from is critical to the diet.
But if you're trying to lose weight the old fashion way by cutting daily caloric intake to 1200 calories then it pretty much doesn't matter where the calories come from. The average adult uses 2000-2400 cals a day so running caloric intake at a deficit is going to result in weight loss regardless.
Yeah but don't go down the 1200 a day route. It won't last.
It takes less will power to add to your routine than take away.
So eat 2400 and burn 3000.
There is the whole satiation thing too, jeff cavaliere has good advice. Apart from he hates cardio. Cycling, running or walking is easiest to do long term.
Apart from he hates cardio.
I seem to be hearing that a lot, that if you're over 40 it decreases testosterone, some do refute this though.
So I'm stuck in the middle.
Well it wasn't a discussion about the ins and outs of dieting, I just used 1200 cals as an example. But FWIW I've known several people who have permanently lost a shit tonne of weight doing 1200 cals/day. But, to your point, I've known many more people who have tried it and given up because 1200 calories is not very much food and that's a tough diet to do.
Exercise complements a diet but losing weight through exercise alone is difficult. I know that's not what you're saying; I'm just making the point.
I'm a low carb proponent myself. I'm talking 30g a day ie. not quite keto. I have yet to meet someone who has given it an honest try and it not work for them. After 2-3 day of low carb you literally stop craving sugar and for most people that's 3/4 of the diet battle right there.
Pretty much agree with you on everything. I finally tried LCHF after struggling all my life with bad diet advice that led me to failure and discouragement.
I fell off the wagon recently and am disappointed with my weight gain but at least now I know what works. Traveling for the last year has broken my routines and being super consistent is a big component.
My main point is that when I was at peak LCHF, probably 1-2 months in with no cheating and almost 100% consistent routine from week to week, it was so easy to say no to ANYTHING that anyone put in my face. When I did feel like cheating, I'd put a TEASPOON of that cheesecake in my mouth and savor it for several minutes, but inevitably I'd feel sick a few minutes later which prevented me going back for seconds.
Anyone looking to lose weight, cut out ALL sugar, alcohol and flour for two weeks. Veggies are your staple turns out most people hate veggies because they don't know how to use spices and seasoning. Spoiling your taste buds with sugar and carbs is like doing so much blow every day that eventually you need a kilo just to feel something.
When you eliminate all the crap, you realize how good animal fats can make vegetables taste. Or how amazing brussel sprouts roasted with siracha taste. If you can reset your senses around food for 2-3 weeks and live off basic yet nutritional food it will make the rest of your diet way easier. I lived off sauerkraut and ground meat for weeks.
>For example certain ethnic groups gain significantly more weight than their white counterparts when HFCS replaces regular sugar in their diet. Another example is when on a very low carb diet ie. ketosis where your calories come from is critical to the diet.
I would imagine it's more than just certain ethnic groups.
Well actually it's just niggers. Genetically they tend towards fat anyway -- especially females -- but HFCS causes them to really pack on the pounds. There was a time when nigger chicks were all slim at least until they hit their 30s. But now they are all fat fucks. Even the ones that are relatively skinny today are fat compared to before HFCS (and fast food in general).
>Well actually it's just niggers.
Or any fatty that's been that way a long time. I think.
Man when I look in the grocery cart of some of these negros on a scooter, I have to look away.
But get a vaccine y'all hear?
...BUT it hugely simplifies the complex metabolic processes that are involved when there's weight gain or loss.
No it does not. Not even a little bit. Not remotely. Not at all. These complex metabolic processes ARE STILL IN CALORIES OUT.
I don't get how you fat fucks don't understand this. Calories out isn't literally only what you do at the gym, or for exercise, or work etc. in a willful sense. It also includes what your body does without your conscious choice.
Why this is so hard for you dumbasses to understand as you push these jewish lies is absurd.
Another example is when on a very low carb diet ie. ketosis where your calories come from is critical to the diet.
Irrelevant as fuck. Being in a state of ketosis is still dictated by CICO. You just source your muscle glycogen from fat rather than carbohydrates.
