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.
I experience all of the above. I had IBS in that I had something that doesn't make much sense to say but "constipated diarrhea"
I also go high blood pressure, and my thyroid levels were out of wack. My brain was telling my body to up my metabolic rate, but my body wouldn't comply.
the eating only meat works great as an elimination diet in that read meat is one of the least inflammatory, and least allergen food you can get. I cut back to only red meats and eggs. My metabolic system healed, and now I've tested eating junk food and carbs for a week straight and almost no change in weight. 1 day of carnivore, and my weight goes right back to 1 week prior to the carbs.
For the past month, I've been doing carbs on the weekend. But I will switch back to carnivore for 1 month. Just to make sure I stay healthy
