weight loss is a simple equation. 3,500 calories = 1lb. So, if you eat 3,500 less calories week over week you’ll consistently lose weight. Keto is a fallacy.
"Keto is a fallacy" what does that even mean?
I had been high carb/sugar addict my whole life, then I went to a carnivore keto diet one day, and holy shit did things change. I never felt stronger. The skinny fat just melted away, and my muscles strong. Calling fat adapted a "fallacy" You're wrong.
I'm saying that there is no Keto diet god. Just because Pompep lost wight doesn't mean 'he must mean be on Keto'. You said you lost weight by cutting out carbs and sugar (high amounts, your whole life). You were already eating fat and protein in your diet too (in high amounts too I'm sure). Just because you don't count calories, doesn't mean that calories don't count. By starting Keto you started eating less calories overall. You lowered your calorie intake from carb/sugar sources and maintained a good balance of fat/protein sources, which have tremendous overall health and weight loos benefits (ex: you feel stronger and less hungry throughout the day). I am glad to hear you found a weight loss method that is working for you, and I sincerely hope you continue to practice it daily for the rest of your life so you can continue to be strong and healthy.
lmao ok have fun counting calories
I do. Have fun being ignorant.
People that deny the fundamental equation of weight loss (calories in vs. calories out) are ignorant. You do not have to count calories to lose weight. You will lose more weight in a shorter period of time if you do. Weight loss plans are all based on this equation. Most people just choose to pay someone/company to help them lose weight, when in reality all they're doing is paying for someone to do the math for them. Like paying an accountant to do your taxes. Nothing wrong with either. I am still somewhat ignorant about filing taxes, so until I educate myself, I will keep relying on someone else to help me with this. I am a blast at parties. God bless.
My body mass is 12.9 and I would like to know how many calories I have to eat per day. I I have lost a lot of weight specially after I got Covid in 2020. Please Can you tell me? Thank you. God bless you.
butter bacon beef and eggs, eat until comfortably stuffed, 1-2 meals a day within a 6hr window, 18hr fasting window per day. No sugar drinks either just stick w water and coffee, unsweet teas etc. try it out for a week or 2 see how u like it :D
oh and u can add some veggies and other types of meats but beef and bacon are the easiest and cost effective
But I am super skinny. My weight is 75 pounds. I will loose more weight. I think, instead need more food and I am allergic to a lot of foods specially seafood.
That's not what Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology has to say about things, and I trust it over your opinion.
All hail to one textbook! I'll continue using and promoting the basic fundamentals of weight loss, thank you. I understand there are different methods people use to lose weight. Like in the 90's when the 'health industry' propped up 'low fat' as king, and processed tons of new special low-fat modified food products for the masses, raked in billions of our hard-earned fiat money, and guess what, people lost weight on that too. It's not about what you eat, it's about how much you eat. Diet adherence and sustainability is driven by methodology (if you think Keto works for you, do it, if you think low-fat works for you do it, and if you think "counting calories work for you do it. However, the actual weight loss itself is due to simple energy balance (calories in vs. calories out).
It's not as simple as calories in vs. calories out.
The trick to losing weight is taking control of your insulin. Your body uses insulin to make fat, and you can't burn your fat stores while your insulin levels are elevated for that very reason. So if you're spiking your insulin constantly with 3 or more meals high in carbs, you're probably going to gain weight or have a difficult time losing it.
You're also likely to get hungrier throughout the day if you eat high carb as you can't access your fat stores and the only way to get usable energy is by ingesting some more carbs until your insulin levels drop and you're able to burn fat storage.
Two ways to take control of those spikes is intermittent fasting (OMAD is what I do) or reducing carbohydrates, mainly processed carbs.
Mathematically and scientifically, it is that simple. Mentally, emotionally, and physically you are right, it is not that simple. Weight loss for a lot of people is not easy because of these factors alone, not because calories in vs. calories out doesn't work. There is no 'trick' to losing weight and anyone that says there is selling you snake oil.
I agree with your statement on satiety. That is exactly why if people balance their macronutrients appropriately, they will ultimately eat less, feel fuller, and either lose weight or maintain a healthy weight as a result. You do not need to omit entire food groups to do so. The foundation of every fad diet used for weight loss is based on calorie intake vs. expenditure. The details of everyone's individual weight loss experiences are only anecdotal. Do what work for you.
