I was gaining weight with 1200 calories a day. Once I got to 222 lbs my doc put me on blood pressure meds and I began snoring. Doc tried to put me on thyroid meds. But i wasnt having it. I went to a metabolic doctor who told me to do be carnivore. I met with the metabolic doc every week for 2.5 months. 1 week of carnivore, eating 1300 calories a day I lost 10lbs and got off all meds. 2.5 months in I lost a total of 42 lbs.
calories in and calories out works when you aren't in metabolic distress. If you are, the quality of the food your put in is much more important.
Certainly, to clarify, the concept of energy balance or "calories in, calories out" underlies weight management. Like you said but it isn't as simple as it sounds.
A significant portion of this energy balance is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which can be modulated and potentially disrupted. This can make it more challenging to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
In fact, the human body requires fewer calories than what is commonly consumed, and not all excess calories are stored as fat. The body has various mechanisms to avoid unnecessary weight gain, such as excreting undigested food, increasing body temperature, heart rate, and activity levels, and enhancing brain function. Therefore, energy balance is not equivalent to a simple machine, since the human body can expel or use excess calories in different ways.
However, some individuals may have metabolic anomalies that alter the body's autonomic processes, leading to a state where excess energy is preferentially stored as fat, regardless of the body's actual needs. In such cases, the principle of energy balance becomes crucial in managing body weight.
Calorie In. Calorie Out. I wish people would take better care of themselves. Just stop putting it in your mouth.
Anyway, love this. The tide is coming in and about to wash the Lefties out.
