@BLUERAY1 Did you actually watch the video? Where did he say cardio makes people fatter? What he said was that people RELY on cardio to burn the calories without dieting or eating right. Then when they aren't able to cardio it up in the gym, they gain weight.
@rachelbenson When you lower your calories to that level, your body will adjust by 'slowing' its metabolism. But the same works the other way. Stick to a small and steady increase (to avoid weight gain or refeeding syndrome) and your metabolism will recover fully. In the future, if further weight loss is still important, go with a 10-20% caloric deficit. Constant crash dieting can lead to long-term problems.
I don't know what is up with the haters. What he says is 110% true. You body slows down its metabolism when you starve it. Read some fitness books, read some nutrition books.
@Aaronpatinio actually obtains a Ph.d, and makes a video "of their own" while backing it up with "non-selective" non-biased research, I don't think that person would have the credentials to make statements like that
@Aaronpatinio good, and usually ends with someone regaining all the weight when they finally start eating normal again. People who starve themselves in anyway are also at high risks for eating disorders such as anorexia. There's no need for a overly verbose explantion to everything. In the end, yes, weightloss through proper eating might take longer, but it will come with permanent, (instead of temporary) results. And I'm flattered you say I'm better than Lustig and Taubes, but until one
@Aaronpatinio the reason I called you childish is because it's ostensibly clear that you're someone looking to get the last word, even if you have to repeat the same answers over and over. I wouldn't call it an accusation, but merely an observation based on how I've seen you respond. And still, I hope you can agree to disagree, in the sense that withholding food from your body when you're hungry is not a healthy way to lose weight. I've already admitted, it does work, but the end result is never
@Aaronpatinio overall I can tell your just another childish person who couldn't stand to be wrong because it would be too much of a blow to your inflated ego. I think will let others decide what works best for them, and you should agree to disagree
@Prcstntr If you’re saying your knowledge on the subject is “sophomoric at best,” then why were you trying to turn people away from counting calories?
It would be FAR more credible of you to point out any logical fallacies in my words to distinguish it from a valid argument. Calling me “childish” and “wrong” are groundless allegations against me.
@Prcstntr However, I did scrutinize your point by showing - from a logical perspective - weight loss without a caloric deficit makes no sense.
Why we live in a world where people choose to ignore proper methods of deduction and hold strong to their unsupported views I will never know. In the field of nutrition, there are way too many bad interpretations of info. But, at least, you have suggested people try what works for them. That puts you above Lustig or Taubes in my book.
@Aaronpatinio as long as a person is alive they're burning energy. The analogy is still valid in the sense that if 1+1=2, then 2=1+1. essentially you can still eat until you're satisfied and still burn excess fat from your body. Your body can use the nutrients proteins and good fats from the food you eat, and since they're used by your body, your body can then also burn excess fat as well
@Aaronpatinio what I think you're not understanding is that if one eats until they're satisfied (and not worry about a man made numerical way of keeping track of how much food you ear, aka. Calories) then a few hundred calories won't have anywhere near as a significant effect on weight gain. People are burning calories at all times, even when they're sleeping
@Aaronpatinio well again, maybe youre intentions are good but our knowledge is sophomoric at best. And I don't know what youre implying by saying I'm misinterpreting real results, but I don't think it takes a lot of effort to realize that healthy weightloss and good mood is something to be concerned about
@aaronpatinio everything you're saying and completely disregard what has worked for me and many others. Simply repackaging your talking points over and over again doesn't answer my questions, so I am obviously hitting a wall with conversing with you. so if anyone is following this convo, don't pay attention to what this guy is saying. He is clearly another impressionable person who believes the food industries over-emphasis on calories and, despite his cordial manner, is just another person
@Prcstntr I’m not disregarding what you say has worked for you or others, but it is important to realize personal accounts can be heavily misinterpreted. I look through what the science shows. Should I ignore basic physics and say the 1st Law of Thermodynamics doesn’t apply? The reason I responded to you was because you were calling out calorie counters. People come to view this video for weight loss info; I’m trying to make sure they aren’t led in the wrong direction.
@Prcstntr From the beginning I told you that, if calories don’t matter, then you would have to explain where the 1000+ calories went since energy doesn’t simply disappear. But you never addressed this issue.
Implication (A implies B) is not the same as equality (A equals B); therefore, no, you cannot say “if you want to burn it, you have to eat it.”
The data Lustig provided shows an increase in calories contributing to obesity and takes fructose effects out of context. I have seen ALL his data.
@Prcstntr In response to the gas-tank/battery analogy: Those are forms of stored energy. Fat is a form of stored energy. Plugging a cell into an outlet would be akin to running off the food you just ate – when you unplug the phone, or burn through your last meal, you start dipping into that stored energy. Therefore, you can only use the stored fat if you withhold that foreign source of energy (food) in some small amount.
@aaronpatinio more than enough statistical data demonstrating that "a calorie is not just a calorie", but that different foods have different effects on the body. You can't fill your car with sand and water and expect it to go anywhere. It needs gasoline; so obviously you can't fill your body with processed foods void of nutrients, and I think I've made this point quite clear. Ultimately, I can tell you're someone who finds this subject contentious and won't quit until I suddenly agree with
@aaronpatinio to say that if you want to burn it then you have to eat it. It is very unlikely that that extra 200 calories you didn't burn is going to suddenly turn into a significant amount of fat on your body. And yes, cutting processed foods can significantly contribute to weight loss; I've been doing it for over a year and I've lost a significant amount of weight and have never felt healthier. And I can only assume you didn't pay enough attention to Dr. Lustig's presentation. He provided
@aaronpatinio well I appreciate the modesty, but as I keep mentioning you are merely reiterating the same response, while never really addressing the flaws. when I speak logically of the idea of calorie counting, I use the basic logic analogy that if A=B, then B=A. So if you're going to burn you half to eat it. If your car needs a full tank of gas to get drive to your destination, how can you expect to get there on half or even 3/4's of a tank? Do you understand that logic? It is absolutely fair
@aaronpatinio processed foods such as high fructose corn syrup into the american diet. being frank, regurgitating a bunch of jargon you assimilated from biased and ignorant media on dieting doesn't seem to help your point
@Prcstntr I’m not trying to patronize you. If I’m not being clear, it should be pointed out (as you did) so I can address it.
I’m glad you approach the logic behind my argument – more need to practice critical thinking. However, it would NOT be fair to say "if you want to burn it, then you have to eat it.” By stating "if you're going to eat it, then you have to burn it or it'll store as fat,” essentially I’m saying “if you eat it and you don’t burn it off, then it will store as fat.
@Prcstntr I would also like to separate health from weight loss. Highly processed foods can still contribute to weight loss. It is VERY important to eat a balanced diet and eliminate processed foods as much as you can. But doing this isn’t enough for weight loss.
I watched all of Lustig’s lecture and left my comment: The video has its positives, but his main claim (fructose is detrimental to the body) is not backed by any significant data.
@Prcstntr Can you give me more info into how your diet was composed? Constant fatigue and low-mood levels are often signs that you are hypocaloric and/or weren’t getting sufficient fat.
@aaronpatinio the diet ending solely in complete "re-gain" of weight if not more than before caloric intake was cut (yo-yo dieting). This experience happened to me; I was constantly fatigued and depressed and it was only until I started eating until I WAS SATISFIED that I started feeling better and I'm still losing weight. I suggest before you keep referencing random and biased studies to me that you watch Dr. Lustig's video "Sugar the bitter truth" which talks about the introduction of
@aaronpatinio vegetable oils, bad cholesterol, and high fructose corn syrup, (which I think you're completely failing to acknowledge), which has contributed almost entirely to the obesity epidemic that has been in our country for the last few decades. On top of that, I've tried calorie reduction within my diet, and I will hand it to you, it does work. But If you watch Sean's other videos, he mentions a study that described the same end result, which is depression, fatigue, and weakness, with
@aaronpatinio detrimental to a person's health. Meat, fruit, and vegetables contains protein, enzymes, and good fats that a body needs to be healthy. The whole idea of withholding food from yourself when you are hungry (yes, semi-starvation) is absurd. It would be like charging a cell phone that needs to be charged for an hour for a half an hour and expecting to last just as long. when I references junk foods like fast food and candy, I am referencing things such as refined flours,
@aaronpatinio well I appreciate the patronizing remarks but you're simply reiterating the same answer while never really answering my questions. According to your logic, "if you're going to eat it, then you have to burn it" or it'll store as fat. So if that is the case, then it is completeley fair to state that "if you want to burn it, then you have to eat it". And no I am not confusing any types of nutrients, but I do think you haven't grasped the reality of just how processed foods can be...
@aaronpatinio what so-called "tests" you're referring but my money says "none". Tell me, what doctor or nutritionist actually told you semi-starvation was good for your health?
@Prcstntr No fats are “bad” – even trans fats can be tolerated in reasonable amounts. And, if there were “good”/“bad” fats, they would still all average 9 cal/gram.
You can start with these for toddlers (Relationship between portion size and energy intake among infants and toddlers: evidence of self-regulation. J Am Diet Assoc. 2006 Jan) and 3-5 year olds (Parental eating attitudes and the development of obesity in children. Framingham Children's Study. Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord. 2000 Oct).
@aaronpatinio and yes, ofcourse withholding food is a sign of a disorder. It may not be full-blown anoroexia nervousa, but it is definitely a trait of the disorder. Also, in regards to my third question the reason I asked it is because people who count calories act like hunger is a bad thing. The point is hunger IS NOT a choice. it is your body telling you that it needs sustenance. And really, the parent's unaware that their 1 year old snuck a cheeseburger when they weren't looking? I don't know

@aaronpatinio almost all of your points sound incoherent. It is common knowledge that there is such a thing as good fats and bad fats. Someone who ate 3000 calories of healthy foods like fruit and vegetables would lose weight significantly quicker than someone who ate mcdonalds and junk food because anyone with half a brain knows that your body can use more nutrients and proteins from meat, fruit, and vegetables, than a big mac or a chocolate bar
@Prcstntr Sorry if I’ve been unclear; I’ll try to be more direct
If you're able to loose weight faster on 3000 cal than 2000 cal, then your body used up those extra 1000+ calories through some means – they do not just disappear.
Don’t confuse macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs) with micronutrients (vitamins, minerals). Macros provide the energy and can be strikingly similar between “health” foods and “junk” foods. When your body looks for a source of energy, it won’t know the difference.
@AaronPatinio and 4) if weightloss is merely calories-in, calories-out, than how do we explain the epidemic of obese 6-month olds and toddlers? Do parents really need to "reduce caloric intake" for a 1-year old child because they're gluttoness sloths?
@Prcstntr 1) A high protein/fat/fiber diet of 3000 kcal would result in slower weight loss (or even weight gain for some) than a high carb/fat diet of 2000 kcal. If not, the question of where such a surplus in calories went would have to be answered. If you meant them to be isocaloric (typo?), there would be no noticeable difference in rate of fat loss. Body composition and overall health are determined by the structure of a diet. Body weight is determined by caloric intake.
@Prcstntr 2) Everyone has reason to withhold food; otherwise they would never stop eating. Simply refraining from eating is not the sign of a disorder. It is the psychological relationship with food that should be analyzed. Oddly, the morbidly obese have more in common with anorexics than those on a small caloric deficit.
3) You can definitely choose to be hungry.
4) The parents are unaware of when the child has been properly fed, leading to a caloric surplus in their diet. This has been tested.
And all you calorie counters, quit embarrassing yourselves. Calorie counting is one of the most deleterious ways to lose weight. I won't deny it works, but it is very damaging to your overall health.
@AaronPatinio ofcourse, and I've already had this debate with a few other people, so before you try to incorporate the law of thermodynamics into mild anorexia, answer these 4 questions: 1) who would lose weight faster, someone who ate 3000 calories of meat, fruit, and vegetables, or someone who ate "2000" calories of mcdonalds, soda, and ice cream 2) is a person who withholds food from themselves that much different from someone suffering from anorexia, 3) can people choose to be hungry?
@durianriders a lot of you sound assanine. There's nothing wrong with "good" saturated fats. A lot of body is composed of fat. I think anyone with half a brain could tell. I know who this durianriders guy is. You're the most antagonistic person out there. Sean isn't saying fruit and vegetables are bad. But in excess they can contribute significantly to weight gain
most of this advice is wrong, counting calories does lead to weight loss, cardio is the best form of weightloss not weight training, weightloss is only gained from weight training when muscle is put on and thats a long term process. ive been able to maintain my weight after weightloss by watching my calories simple as that.
@wagjiani7 Yes, but wouldn't you hit the plateau easily? If you combine calorie couting with exercise (i.e. calorie deficit reached through dieting and exercise) you can keep losing weight and wont gain it back as soon as you stop dieting?
Also, to keep the weight off you need muscle also. So just cardio wont work if you want to keep the weight off.
Asians eat very little sugar. Also, they in fact, are starting to become more obese.
Saturated fat, flat out, does not cause heart disease. It lowers triglycerides, dense LDL, and raises HDL, and fluffy (good) LDL. All of these are positive.
@wrusst too much faux science not enough common sense. Cutting calories is borderline starving yourself. Eating whenever body is hungry, but eating the "right" foods is the only way to "healthy" weightloss
to much bro science not real science. calorie contolled diet is the only proven way to lose weight diet wise, being hungry all the time is not the same as losing weight
@girl123interrupted hey I just wanted to say I completely agree with everything you're saying. Don't listen to scarred10, I have been putting up with his misinformation for days now, and the only reason I respond is because I don't want him to mislead other people looking to paulchek and Sean croxton for health advice. But yes eating healthy, cut back the cardio, and NOT starving yourself is a great way to lose weight and it doesn't cost a thing
Everyone, don’t listen to scarred10; this guy is completely misleading anyone who reads this convo. As I told him, calling it a calorie “deficit” or “reduction” is essentially sugar-coating everything. Withholding food when your body is hungry is not healthy in anyway. Cutting sugar, drinking water, and eating good food is the best and simplest way to losing weight and being healthy
@Prcstntr i dont care if anybody listens,its a scientific fact that deficit is needed to lose weight no matter how much water and healthy food you eat and how little sugar.If anybody looks for advice on youtube they are pretty much clueless anyway.
@khalilahinjapan not in the least ,its perfectly healthy,the evidence behind eating more often is shaky.If you are trying to gain muscle then you will have to eat more often due the amount of calories needed.
please I implore everyone, cutting your calories is extremely harmful to your body. You will lose weight, but you will be extremely depressed and fatigued and gain all the weight back if you do so. A simple way to lose weight: Cut out sugar, drink water, and be happy. thats it; no nutrition jargon or suggestions to buy anything. Just eat healthy and be happy. Everyone, do your own research. don't just take some random person's advice for it
@Prcstntr creating a mild calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight,its physically impossible otherwise.What you have been referring to repeatedly is a major calorie restriction in which case youre correct but you havent specificied that.Uneducated people wont be able to interpret research,they will read websites which are individuals opinion
@scarred10 ugh you are totally fucking wrong, I am so irritated with your false information. I have been on every diet in the book and lose more eating 2000 calories worth of protein shakes, whole grains, fresh vegetables/fruit and fish than 1400 calories of cheetos and shit. These websites you're talking about are completely subjective!!! please keep in mind that just because the website is called "jack offs lose ten pounds in ten days" doesn't mean its going to be a healthful or even work!!
@girl123interrupted i never mentioned any websites.You arent a health professional with aformal education in the area,your experience isnt evidence its an anecdote,the poorest form of evidence.1400 kcals is too low for an adult so your metabolism would slow down,thats why you dint lose much weight .
@scarred10 And there is no anecdote to weight loss, I've even known people who get gastric bypass and are still 250 lbs because they weren't following the meal plan. There is no magic bullet. Its a complete life style change, good food and no pork, beef, gluten or white flour/sugar. That's it. That is the secret to success. No anectote here...
@scarred10 Did you hear what I SAID? I gave MY individual experience, didn't say it was right, only said IT WORKED FOR ME AND TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS THAT FOLLOWED MY ADVICE. One guy and one girl.
@scarred10 You're making no sense, sure its open for debate. I for the third time, only stated what worked for me and what's worked for everyone I've advised.
@scarred10 And when you're doing a crazy calorie restricting diet, your body sucks the muscle rather than the fat so yeah you lose weight in muscle mass rather than fat. The crazy calorie restricting works for those with bulimia/anorexia but keep in mind they are eating 200 calories a day and then running ten miles so of course they're going to lose weight but its eating away at their muscle and organs.
@girl123interrupted anyone that ate 200 kcals /day would be dead soon nor couls they walk let alone run anywhere.As ive already told you restriction may be by as little as a couple of hundred cals /day with another few hundred through exercise to add up to at the very most 1 kg loss of mostly fat per week if you keep protein high and do some strength training.For muscle burning as energy,glycogen levels have to be very low.
@scarred10 My best friend has struggled with bulimia for over 5 years and would only keep 200 calories in a day followed by vigorous exercise for about an hour and a half a day and NO she didn't die! do you have any clue what you're talking about, this spewing of bullshit seems to come so natural, it almost sounds like you have a clue but you don't haha but she got down to about 80 pounds and went to an eating disorder clinic where she recovered and is much better now.
@girl123interrupted seeing as any adult needs over 1000 kcals /day to just lie down ,nobody could do anything vigorous on 200 kcals.Shed be losing weight at a massive rate and muscle too and would have died had she kept it up.Ive lived with a sister whose had anorexia for 15 yrs and in hospital for 10 of those yrs so I know just a bit about that one too.
I absolutely agree she would have died if she kept it up. No one ever said it was a sustainable way to live, usually by the time a few hospitalizations from dehydration go by, the family intervenes and forces them to go into treatment.
@scarred10 I am not a health professional, merely a person who's struggled with my weight and knows what does work and what doesn't. I've even had a few friends come to me for advice because they've been inspired by my success. Two of my closest friends have followed what I've said and had great success also. And biggest loser? man or woman they immediately put them on 1400 calories a day. I was following the word of two trainers and it didn't work for me.
@girl123interrupted the biggest loser is a joke,its been exposed they water cut and do uo to 4 hours traing a day on very low calorie diets,noe of which is sustainable,its just for TV.If you arent formally educated in exercise and nutrition ,we shouldnt even be having this conversation.
@scarred10 Sweetheart for the second time, I NEVER said I was educated in nutrition and exercise. Only what I've read about exercise, food, nutrition, dieting and the affect it has on the body. It surprises me you feel you have bragging rights with your so called education because the shit you're saying isn't factual and you're here scolding a youtube page of people with falsified information ahahhaha
@scarred10 Hardcore facts about what a calorie is, what it does, how its burned and why your body responds to sugar and high fructose corn syrup has been an interest of mine for sometime. This isn't subjective... I still feel you should further your research before giving someone bad advice which may result in them reverting to a bad lifestyle fueled by an ignorant comment you made.
@girl123interrupted ive an interest in car mechanics,doesnt mean I am qualified to fix them or know jack shit compared to a mechanical engineer.You cant compare yourself reading a few commercial books to a 4 yr 30 hr week degree in the subject .
I lose SO much weight when I strength train. Cardio is fine but as soon as you hop off the bike and thirty minutes goes by, you stop burning calories. When you strength train, you burn calories for like the entire day and through the night. IT WORKS!
@scarred10 no, no even hardcore running, once you stop and a half an hour goes by, you stop burning calories all together. This is true for ALL cardio because you aren't really breaking down the large muscle fibers.
@girl123interrupted firstly.hardcore anything is a meaningless term.The amount of post exercise calorie burn is related to anaerobic load,you can do that anyway you like,cardio or resistance.
@scarred10 running burns calories up until stopping. Strength training and lifting weights burns calories for the rest of the day, thru the night and into the morning. The sore/barely can move arms feeling from lifting weights? that's your body burning calories and sending help to your broken down muscles. ^^ this guy talks about it. 1/5 of an hour workout is spent on a treadmill because you get more burn and bang for your buck when doing weights and strength training.
@girl123interrupted if you stopped burning calories you would be dead.Ive already explained to you the reason for the elevated post exercise energy consumption.The pain has zero to do with burning calories.Youll have to educate yourself if you want to give anyone advice
@scarred10 sweetie I understand you are attempting to stand behind your beliefs, false or not I suppose it doesn't matter if its working for you, for now. I advise YOU to educate yourself and read a couple of books. I suggest the abs diet, ultra metabolism and good fat bad fat. All of which preach the importance of building muscle through (drum roll please) strength training, yet they know nothing I suppose? perhaps they should hand over their phd's and bow their heads to your infinite wisdom!
@girl123interrupted they arent beliefs,theyre facts any dietician will tell you.I hardly need to read any more books after a 4 yr full time degree in the subject and working at it for 9 years.The books you mention are individual opinion,not fact.If you want fact you need to know where to look.Building muscle to increase metabolism isnt what causes the afterburn,building muscle takes months while the afterburn is immediate and lasts up to maybe a day later only.Youre confusing the 2.
@scarred10 With a full cardio routine and a 1400 calorie diet of what I wanted to eat but keeping it at 1400 calories I was losing 2.5 pounds a week. As soon as I switched to weights and strength training and good whole foods I lost INCHES, yes inches in a month and blew 20 lbs in twenty days so which is the "truth" here? which actually "works" ?? if you could blow 20 lbs in twenty days or 10 lbs in 20 days which would you, as a consumer choose as a diet? tough decision!
And if its from a dietician its "fact" but when its coming from numerous doctors and endocrinologists it has no credibility? ha ha that makes... no sense
@girl123interrupted MDs dont receive much dietetic training,neither do endocrinologists.Youl find that the medical docs that write these controversial books arent well thought of among their peers,they are out to make a buck from a very emotional area.
@scarred10 There's nothing controversial to me about having a balanced, healthy diet. Sure there are probably books out there preaching about eating sticks of butter and steaks by the pound and losing weight but in the long run it isn't good for you. Eating a balanced, healthy diet and exercising. That is ABSOLUTELY good for you in the long run.
@scarred10 I get you are loving this debate but I only draw these things out with people intelligent enough to back what they're saying. I quickly revert from those who took a summer course on food&nutrition &feel they know everything about diet and exercise. Its a big turn off for me! Feel free to respond but keep in mind I won't be replying to anymore of you're meaningless nonsense. You're saying so much but at the same time saying nothing ha ha take care of yourself and good luck w/ dieting!
Sorry the calorie counting part is wrong. Most people are fat because they OVEREAT. Calorie counting to cut down the amount you eat is the way to lose way if you're fat, calorie counting does not work when you're already fit.
Great Video, but a little confused about weights and cardio..I am trying to lose the last 15 pounds of fat. i do both weights and cardio 4-5x a week. Should I cut back on the cardio? Cardio is now Interval training 45-50min. Thanks
Ha, every time I consider dumping sugar, I think of alcohol. Now, although I don't drink often, or much when I do drink, alcohol is made from fermented sugar, etc. and I'm not giving up the occasional glass of wine. The skinny people in Italy (and other parts of Europe) aren't either.
@le2key eating unlimited calories, or essentially eating when you're hungry, is correct AS LONG AS YOU EAT HEALTHY FOODS. that's the misunderstanding so many people who are misled by the diet media and industry have. By not worrying and obsessing about how many calories you eat, and eating whenver you're hungry, you establish a good metabolism. cutting your calories to lose weight, then meeting your desired weight and eating normal again will only make you gain the weight back = yoyo dieting)
@Prcstntr it doesnt matter where the calories come from ,if you eat significantly more than you consume youll gain weight.You need to create a mild calorie deficit to lose weight along with more regular consumption and better food choices
@scarred10 you basically just reiterated what le2key said, without any explanation or evidence. cutting your calories is essentially starving yourself. Just like you don't choose to be gay or straight, you cannot choose whether to be hungry or not. The food industry has misled us simply to make profit off our misinformation; it is not as simple as calories in calories out. If so, can you explain an obese toddler or over weight children in this country?
@Prcstntr mild calorie deficiency below your current level if youre overweight is not starving yourself.You can use moderate healthy fats,increased protein and lower GI carbs to blunt hunger.If you had a formal nutritional education youd already know that.Calories in/out is pretty much the bottom line for weight loss with some exceptions but not for health as macro and micronutrient composition then becomes very important.The kids are overweight because they eat too much and move too little
@scarred10 well despite your unnecessary condescending remarks and pointless jargon, I can agree with you about eating healthy fats and proteins. But again cutting calories is not a correct or healthy way to lose weight. You can eat "what your metabolism needs", but eat all healthy foods; losing weight is absolutely corollary to a healthy diet. You wouldn't pour sand and water into your car engine and expect it to run well.
@scarred10 the reason I know calorie cutting doesn't work is because not only have I tried it, but all of the people I asked who cut their calories said they were extremely depressed, fatigued, and eventually gained all the weight back. Sean Croxton (the man in this video) also said when he cut his calorie and fat intake he had to be on anti-depressants for a while. Our country has tried cutting calories and has had backwards results
@Prcstntr it works,its the only way to lose weight,that doesnt mean drastic cuts but a deficit of 500 kcals /day should lead to 0.5 kilo loss/week approx.That deficit could come from both activity and calorie cut.He didnt have to on meds he chose to be on them.Anyway it would take a dramatic nutritional or calorie deficiency to produce depression,that obviously is a bad idea but you cannot lose weight without cutting calories by exercise/diet.
@le2key but you see, you got it half right, it's not cutting calories per se, but cutting the wrong kinds of foods. people who cut their calories and then end up eating a lot again gain all the weight back because their body will store it all because it's been deprived of calories for so long, just like animals that hibernate. Cutting calories really is starving yourself. being hungry is NOT a choice, it's your own body telling you it needs sustenance.
Sean is absolutely correct about calories. cutting your calories is absolutely wrong, and I'm speaking from experience. I cut my calories and I became constantly depressed, fatigued, and overly obsessed with what I eat.
You need to think logically. Cutting calories IS starving yourself. Starving yourself = anorexia. Being hungry is NOT a choice, it's your body telling you it needs sustenance.
@Prcstntr I respectfully disagree, people who are extremely obese or want to lose fat in general need to cut calories because they're in a calorie surplus. 15-25% of their TDEE is a good start, quality of calorie is very important but w/e you eat if you're in excess you're gonna store fat - whether that's 1000 pizzas or 10000 oranges.
If you're constantly fatigued and depressed it's probably because you're not getting enough carbs.
@ExoticCalli have you ever even been on a weight training program? you know how you see those ripped ladies in the gym curling like 100LBS per arm, you know how long and hard they had to train to get like? it doesn't happen over night. and some of them might even be on steroids.
btw, body weight exercising is essentially weight training just a different form of it. but if you wanna get that toned look that most women go for trust me, weight lifting is your friend.
i am a big fan of Sean but I defiantly disagree with him on this one. calories do count and calories is what controls weight loss. These guys that am about to mention are good: Gary Taubes, sean croxton, dr Atkins, Tom venuto, and jim karas but there is some body with more science than these guys, he even has a Dr degree in the body physiology and that is Dr greg ellis. Personal trainers like jim karas and tom are for the low calorie diets but it is almost impossible low calorie when is highcarb
But rice cakes (and popcorn, if I'm not mistaken) contain 0 grams of sugar...& if you eat them while on a high protein, low-carb diet, I see no problems, because the protein and healthy fats already fill you up. If rice cakes and popcorn are the majority of your calories, yeah, I see a problem. But not if you eat them to get a few carbs. I'm actually not a popcorn advocate, I think rice cakes are better since they are made with whole grain brown rice.
@nuvigroovi There Is A Starvation Mode!! its hard to face it But Its True!! check out the video by Zoe Harcombe about the Minnessota Starvation Experiment by Zoe Harcombe here on youtube and also check her blog about it! in her last book The Obesity Epidemic she explains Deeply!! all the best!!
@nuvigroovi Starvation Mode doesn't usually kick in until 72 hours or so, so yah, he's wrong about that, and it is actually healthy to not eat for 24 hours or fast once or twice a week to detoxify the body and also helps in burning fat because insulin levels are the same as in an intense workout/exercise.
cardio does burn muscle unfortunately, but it is the long duration cardio that breaks down muscle. This is why u don't see body builders doing any more than 20-30 min. of cardio, any more than that and ur body will start producing stress hormones such as cortisol as he said. So this is also why it isn't good to train in the gym for too long. Ever noticed the difference between marathon runners and sprinters? Marathon runners barely have any muscle and sprinters are muscular
i understand that rice cakes and all those other simple carbohydrates raise your glucose rapidly but what if all you ate were rice cakes, or other simple carbs and still had a 500 calorie deficit, wouldn't you still lose weight? and if so is it from fat or muscle?
The ultimate reason why people must replace rice cakes, popcorn, etc. is because they are empty calories. The term 'empty calorie' means that it has no nutritional benefits like vitamins and minerals.
This is why you get hungry 1 hour later, because your body is not hungry for food, it's hungry for vitamins.
The main idea here is that the body burns fat much faster when it has lots of vitamins, minerals, and No Sugar. The more vitamins/minerals, the more fat burn.
Oh dear, the starvation mode crap, while there is a reduction in metabolic rate in response to drastic calorie cuts, it never has been found to exceed more than about 15-20% at the EXTREME, we are talking starvation, 1200 calories a day is not starvation.
Starvation studies have consistently shown that fat will continue to be utilized for substrate even in starvation conditions.
@TheBriluvmonster put on some muscle, eat some organic coconut oil, use red pepper, ginger an black pepper, drink ice water, and eat organic protein. look up interval training an lift some weights
wait wait, you cant eat your muscles during cardio man.... maybe if you are doing cardio like a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal maniac for huuuuuuuge amounts of time without any food
i dun really understand between cardio and weight lifting, if u cant do weight lifting (muscle building) exercise during the busy weeks, aint it the same that the muscle will turn back to fats?
This is a crock of shit. There is no starvation mode. Thats a myth that came from some BS health Study from Minnesota. 85% of dietitians and nutritionists, Scientists, not Youtube gurus agree that if you burn more calories than you intake you will lose weight. I can go on for days about this. Do not listen to this new age BS high sugar, stay away from rice cakes and popcorn, dont cut your calorie shit. Check this link. fattyfightsback.blogspot.c0m/2009/03/mtyhbusters-starvation-mode.html
Agreed...I started doing 50 mile ultra marathons and was getting fat...I was a tubby running machine with a fat ass...now I discoveered kettlebells...i still love running through the woods in intervalls of walking, run, sprint, climb a tree...good stuff
My trainer sent me to this video and I am amazed. Awesome information that explains a lot for me. Biggest thanks. I am definitely checking out your others. You are really clear and interesting.
What a load of shit. Of course you can lose weight on rice cakes when eating those instead of bread, candy and all of that shit you guys eat. Of course you gain all of that back if you go back and eat shit again. It's about a lifestyle change. My mom and I are both allergic to milk and gluten - we eat rice cakes, and are two skinny bitches. Eating a couple rice cakes with ham and salad on top - come on, does that really sound bad to you? Instead of that McDonalds-shit you wanna eat.
The stuff about calorie counting is true dude. Just loot at it from a physical point (conservation of energy, thermodynamics etc) and you will see it makes sense. However, the rest of the video is all correct.
a calorie is still a calorie. and a calorie deficit is how you lose excess fat or mass. this guy is making it way too complicated. a small reduction in calories, and 30 minutes of some kind of cardio a day will take the weight off. 63 lbs later, i am living proof of this.
@CellphoneProfitInc I am curious to know did you make changes in your food choices as well as calorie count. I do remember times I had a calorie deficit but my choices were terrible and I stayed at a steady weight. Then I started eating less processed foods and the weight started coming off.
@ericaj58 started eating whole foods for the majority of my meals, but still ate whatever i wanted, just at smaller portions. as long as the calorie deficit is created at the end of the day, doesn't matter how you get it. i choose to eat whole foods because i don't like feeling hungry or being unhealthy while creating the deficit.
Isn't that a good thing (ytcf71). Some days I gain weight eating the same amount of food of the same type and other days on the same diet, I lose weight. Would love to have a sure cure way to lose weight and maintain it at a set level.
@TheDano1947 You won't be, it will be mainly water loss. To lose or gain a pound of 'fat' you need to consume or burn 3500 calories. People who say they have gained 2 pounds in a day, would in theory have to have eaten 7000 calories more than what they were already eating....basically not possible unless you were completely stuffing your face...so most likely water retention. Look up Seans video called 'KILL YOUR SCALE'
Like I said before, do what works for you. I know people who can literally eat anything they want and not put on any weight simply because of their strong metabolism. You said you do not need to do cardio or create a calorie deficit to lose weight which was proven wrong by MY own experience and doing. Just because YOU only absorb 40% of the fats YOU eat, it does not apply to everyone else. But for the majority of people, they need to have a calorie deficit to lose weight. Calorie is a calorie.
@S0lidSnake001 Trust me, a calorie is not a calorie.You do realise that a calorie is a measurement of energy. Why do you think everything you put in your stomach is going to absorbed/used the same way, and hence make the same weight gain. 10 calories of protein, is not going to gain weight like 10g of sugar. EVERYTHING has a calorific value, not just food. If I ate 100 calories of plastic, do you think Im going to gain weight, the same as 100 calories of carbs? No, because I can't digest plastic
I agree that certain foods would have a different effect on your body than others. OF COURSE eating 1000 cal. of vegetables is far healthier than eating 1000 calories of potato chips. That is not what I am debating about. I am trying to get out the BASIC IDEA that as long as you can CONTROL your quantities with WHATEVER you eat, you will achieve weight loss. Please elaborate on the part where you say you don't need a calorie deficit or do some form of physical activity in order to lose weight.
@S0lidSnake001 Because you were saying your clients only lost weight on a calorie deficit...yes, because they were simply eating less of the same foods they were already eating. If you simply switched their foods to high fat, high protein, low carb, and even increased the 'theoretical' calories (theoretical as in like i said calories in is not calories absorbed) they would see a weight loss.
Rice cakes don't seem to put the weight on me so maybe it's my metabolism.
I've also noticed what works one week doesn't always work the following and this is most frustrating. Every time I think I've figured out the formula for permanent weight loss, I gain weight. Not much at a time but weight gain non the less. Weight is mass or volume right, So why do some foods put it on and others don't??
I never do Cardio for more then 18-20 minutes at a time. Weight training is great if you can keep it varied and interesting. Every now and then you want to mix it up and do something different.

@rachelbenson When you lower your calories to that level, your body will adjust by 'slowing' its metabolism. But the same works the other way. Stick to a small and steady increase (to avoid weight gain or refeeding syndrome) and your metabolism will recover fully. In the future, if further weight loss is still important, go with a 10-20% caloric deficit. Constant crash dieting can lead to long-term problems.

@Aaronpatinio as long as a person is alive they're burning energy. The analogy is still valid in the sense that if 1+1=2, then 2=1+1. essentially you can still eat until you're satisfied and still burn excess fat from your body. Your body can use the nutrients proteins and good fats from the food you eat, and since they're used by your body, your body can then also burn excess fat as well
Prcstntr 4 months ago
@Aaronpatinio what I think you're not understanding is that if one eats until they're satisfied (and not worry about a man made numerical way of keeping track of how much food you ear, aka. Calories) then a few hundred calories won't have anywhere near as a significant effect on weight gain. People are burning calories at all times, even when they're sleeping

AaronPatinio 4 months ago
@Prcstntr From the beginning I told you that, if calories don’t matter, then you would have to explain where the 1000+ calories went since energy doesn’t simply disappear. But you never addressed this issue.
Implication (A implies B) is not the same as equality (A equals B); therefore, no, you cannot say “if you want to burn it, you have to eat it.”
The data Lustig provided shows an increase in calories contributing to obesity and takes fructose effects out of context. I have seen ALL his data.
AaronPatinio 4 months ago
@Prcstntr In response to the gas-tank/battery analogy: Those are forms of stored energy. Fat is a form of stored energy. Plugging a cell into an outlet would be akin to running off the food you just ate – when you unplug the phone, or burn through your last meal, you start dipping into that stored energy. Therefore, you can only use the stored fat if you withhold that foreign source of energy (food) in some small amount.

@aaronpatinio more than enough statistical data demonstrating that "a calorie is not just a calorie", but that different foods have different effects on the body. You can't fill your car with sand and water and expect it to go anywhere. It needs gasoline; so obviously you can't fill your body with processed foods void of nutrients, and I think I've made this point quite clear. Ultimately, I can tell you're someone who finds this subject contentious and won't quit until I suddenly agree with

It is very unlikely that that extra 200 calories you didn't burn is going to suddenly turn into a significant amount of fat on your body. And yes, cutting processed foods can significantly contribute to weight loss; I've been doing it for over a year and I've lost a significant amount of weight and have never felt healthier. And I can only assume you didn't pay enough attention to Dr. Lustig's presentation. He provided

@aaronpatinio well I appreciate the modesty, but as I keep mentioning you are merely reiterating the same response, while never really addressing the flaws. when I speak logically of the idea of calorie counting, I use the basic logic analogy that if A=B, then B=A.

I’m glad you approach the logic behind my argument – more need to practice critical thinking. However, it would NOT be fair to say "if you want to burn it, then you have to eat it.” By stating "if you're going to eat it, then you have to burn it or it'll store as fat,” essentially I’m saying “if you eat it and you don’t burn it off, then it will store as fat.

@Prcstntr I would also like to separate health from weight loss. Highly processed foods can still contribute to weight loss. It is VERY important to eat a balanced diet and eliminate processed foods as much as you can. But doing this isn’t enough for weight loss.
I watched all of Lustig’s lecture and left my comment: The video has its positives, but his main claim (fructose is detrimental to the body) is not backed by any significant data.

@aaronpatinio almost all of your points sound incoherent. It is common knowledge that there is such a thing as good fats and bad fats. Someone who ate 3000 calories of healthy foods like fruit and vegetables would lose weight significantly quicker than someone who ate mcdonalds and junk food because anyone with half a brain knows that your body can use more nutrients and proteins from meat, fruit, and vegetables, than a big mac or a chocolate bar
Prcstntr 4 months ago
@Prcstntr Sorry if I’ve been unclear; I’ll try to be more direct
If you're able to loose weight faster on 3000 cal than 2000 cal, then your body used up those extra 1000+ calories through some means – they do not just disappear.
Don’t confuse macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs) with micronutrients (vitamins, minerals). Macros provide the energy and can be strikingly similar between “health” foods and “junk” foods. When your body looks for a source of energy, it won’t know the difference.

@AaronPatinio and 4) if weightloss is merely calories-in, calories-out, than how do we explain the epidemic of obese 6-month olds and toddlers? Do parents really need to "reduce caloric intake" for a 1-year old child because they're gluttoness sloths?
Prcstntr 4 months ago
@Prcstntr 1) A high protein/fat/fiber diet of 3000 kcal would result in slower weight loss (or even weight gain for some) than a high carb/fat diet of 2000 kcal. If not, the question of where such a surplus in calories went would have to be answered. If you meant them to be isocaloric (typo?), there would be no noticeable difference in rate of fat loss. Body composition and overall health are determined by the structure of a diet. Body weight is determined by caloric intake.
AaronPatinio 4 months ago
@Prcstntr 2) Everyone has reason to withhold food; otherwise they would never stop eating. Simply refraining from eating is not the sign of a disorder. It is the psychological relationship with food that should be analyzed. Oddly, the morbidly obese have more in common with anorexics than those on a small caloric deficit.
3) You can definitely choose to be hungry.
4) The parents are unaware of when the child has been properly fed, leading to a caloric surplus in their diet. This has been tested.

@girl123interrupted i never mentioned any websites.You arent a health professional with aformal education in the area,your experience isnt evidence its an anecdote,the poorest form of evidence.1400 kcals is too low for an adult so your metabolism would slow down,thats why you dint lose much weight .

@scarred10 And there is no anecdote to weight loss, I've even known people who get gastric bypass and are still 250 lbs because they weren't following the meal plan. There is no magic bullet. Its a complete life style change, good food and no pork, beef, gluten or white flour/sugar. That's it. That is the secret to success. No anectote here...

girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@scarred10 And when you're doing a crazy calorie restricting diet, your body sucks the muscle rather than the fat so yeah you lose weight in muscle mass rather than fat. The crazy calorie restricting works for those with bulimia/anorexia but keep in mind they are eating 200 calories a day and then running ten miles so of course they're going to lose weight but its eating away at their muscle and organs.
girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@girl123interrupted anyone that ate 200 kcals /day would be dead soon nor couls they walk let alone run anywhere.As ive already told you restriction may be by as little as a couple of hundred cals /day with another few hundred through exercise to add up to at the very most 1 kg loss of mostly fat per week if you keep protein high and do some strength training.For muscle burning as energy,glycogen levels have to be very low.
scarred10 6 months ago
@scarred10 My best friend has struggled with bulimia for over 5 years and would only keep 200 calories in a day followed by vigorous exercise for about an hour and a half a day and NO she didn't die! do you have any clue what you're talking about, this spewing of bullshit seems to come so natural, it almost sounds like you have a clue but you don't haha but she got down to about 80 pounds and went to an eating disorder clinic where she recovered and is much better now.
girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@girl123interrupted seeing as any adult needs over 1000 kcals /day to just lie down ,nobody could do anything vigorous on 200 kcals.Shed be losing weight at a massive rate and muscle too and would have died had she kept it up.Ive lived with a sister whose had anorexia for 15 yrs and in hospital for 10 of those yrs so I know just a bit about that one too.

I lose SO much weight when I strength train. Cardio is fine but as soon as you hop off the bike and thirty minutes goes by, you stop burning calories. When you strength train, you burn calories for like the entire day and through the night. IT WORKS!
girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@girl123interrupted. totally untrue,you would be referring to easy cardio,interval training produces a significant afterburn.
scarred10 6 months ago
@scarred10 no, no even hardcore running, once you stop and a half an hour goes by, you stop burning calories all together. This is true for ALL cardio because you aren't really breaking down the large muscle fibers.
girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@girl123interrupted firstly.hardcore anything is a meaningless term.The amount of post exercise calorie burn is related to anaerobic load,you can do that anyway you like,cardio or resistance.
scarred10 6 months ago
@scarred10 running burns calories up until stopping. Strength training and lifting weights burns calories for the rest of the day, thru the night and into the morning. The sore/barely can move arms feeling from lifting weights? that's your body burning calories and sending help to your broken down muscles. ^^ this guy talks about it. 1/5 of an hour workout is spent on a treadmill because you get more burn and bang for your buck when doing weights and strength training.
girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@girl123interrupted if you stopped burning calories you would be dead.Ive already explained to you the reason for the elevated post exercise energy consumption.The pain has zero to do with burning calories.Youll have to educate yourself if you want to give anyone advice

@scarred10 sweetie I understand you are attempting to stand behind your beliefs, false or not I suppose it doesn't matter if its working for you, for now. I advise YOU to educate yourself and read a couple of books. I suggest the abs diet, ultra metabolism and good fat bad fat. All of which preach the importance of building muscle through (drum roll please) strength training, yet they know nothing I suppose? perhaps they should hand over their phd's and bow their heads to your infinite wisdom!
girl123interrupted 6 months ago
@girl123interrupted they arent beliefs,theyre facts any dietician will tell you.I hardly need to read any more books after a 4 yr full time degree in the subject and working at it for 9 years.The books you mention are individual opinion,not fact.If you want fact you need to know where to look.Building muscle to increase metabolism isnt what causes the afterburn,building muscle takes months while the afterburn is immediate and lasts up to maybe a day later only.Youre confusing the 2.
scarred10 6 months ago
@scarred10 With a full cardio routine and a 1400 calorie diet of what I wanted to eat but keeping it at 1400 calories I was losing 2.5 pounds a week. As soon as I switched to weights and strength training and good whole foods I lost INCHES, yes inches in a month and blew 20 lbs in twenty days so which is the "truth" here? which actually "works" ?? if you could blow 20 lbs in twenty days or 10 lbs in 20 days which would you, as a consumer choose as a diet? tough decision!

@le2key eating unlimited calories, or essentially eating when you're hungry, is correct AS LONG AS YOU EAT HEALTHY FOODS. that's the misunderstanding so many people who are misled by the diet media and industry have. By not worrying and obsessing about how many calories you eat, and eating whenver you're hungry, you establish a good metabolism. cutting your calories to lose weight, then meeting your desired weight and eating normal again will only make you gain the weight back = yoyo dieting)
Prcstntr 7 months ago
@Prcstntr it doesnt matter where the calories come from ,if you eat significantly more than you consume youll gain weight.You need to create a mild calorie deficit to lose weight along with more regular consumption and better food choices
scarred10 6 months ago
@scarred10 you basically just reiterated what le2key said, without any explanation or evidence. cutting your calories is essentially starving yourself. Just like you don't choose to be gay or straight, you cannot choose whether to be hungry or not. The food industry has misled us simply to make profit off our misinformation; it is not as simple as calories in calories out. If so, can you explain an obese toddler or over weight children in this country?
Prcstntr 6 months ago
@Prcstntr mild calorie deficiency below your current level if youre overweight is not starving yourself.You can use moderate healthy fats,increased protein and lower GI carbs to blunt hunger.If you had a formal nutritional education youd already know that.Calories in/out is pretty much the bottom line for weight loss with some exceptions but not for health as macro and micronutrient composition then becomes very important.The kids are overweight because they eat too much and move too little
scarred10 6 months ago
@scarred10 well despite your unnecessary condescending remarks and pointless jargon, I can agree with you about eating healthy fats and proteins. But again cutting calories is not a correct or healthy way to lose weight. You can eat "what your metabolism needs", but eat all healthy foods; losing weight is absolutely corollary to a healthy diet. You wouldn't pour sand and water into your car engine and expect it to run well.

@scarred10 the reason I know calorie cutting doesn't work is because not only have I tried it, but all of the people I asked who cut their calories said they were extremely depressed, fatigued, and eventually gained all the weight back. Sean Croxton (the man in this video) also said when he cut his calorie and fat intake he had to be on anti-depressants for a while. Our country has tried cutting calories and has had backwards results
Prcstntr 6 months ago
@Prcstntr it works,its the only way to lose weight,that doesnt mean drastic cuts but a deficit of 500 kcals /day should lead to 0.5 kilo loss/week approx.That deficit could come from both activity and calorie cut.He didnt have to on meds he chose to be on them.Anyway it would take a dramatic nutritional or calorie deficiency to produce depression,that obviously is a bad idea but you cannot lose weight without cutting calories by exercise/diet.
scarred10 6 months ago
@le2key but you see, you got it half right, it's not cutting calories per se, but cutting the wrong kinds of foods. people who cut their calories and then end up eating a lot again gain all the weight back because their body will store it all because it's been deprived of calories for so long, just like animals that hibernate. Cutting calories really is starving yourself. being hungry is NOT a choice, it's your own body telling you it needs sustenance.
Prcstntr 7 months ago
Sean is absolutely correct about calories. cutting your calories is absolutely wrong, and I'm speaking from experience. I cut my calories and I became constantly depressed, fatigued, and overly obsessed with what I eat.
You need to think logically. Cutting calories IS starving yourself. Starving yourself = anorexia. Being hungry is NOT a choice, it's your body telling you it needs sustenance.
bottom line: eat unlimited calories
Prcstntr 7 months ago
@Prcstntr I respectfully disagree, people who are extremely obese or want to lose fat in general need to cut calories because they're in a calorie surplus. 15-25% of their TDEE is a good start, quality of calorie is very important but w/e you eat if you're in excess you're gonna store fat - whether that's 1000 pizzas or 10000 oranges.
If you're constantly fatigued and depressed it's probably because you're not getting enough carbs.

But rice cakes (and popcorn, if I'm not mistaken) contain 0 grams of sugar...& if you eat them while on a high protein, low-carb diet, I see no problems, because the protein and healthy fats already fill you up. If rice cakes and popcorn are the majority of your calories, yeah, I see a problem. But not if you eat them to get a few carbs. I'm actually not a popcorn advocate, I think rice cakes are better since they are made with whole grain brown rice.

cardio does burn muscle unfortunately, but it is the long duration cardio that breaks down muscle. This is why u don't see body builders doing any more than 20-30 min. of cardio, any more than that and ur body will start producing stress hormones such as cortisol as he said. So this is also why it isn't good to train in the gym for too long. Ever noticed the difference between marathon runners and sprinters? Marathon runners barely have any muscle and sprinters are muscular

curlye93 9 months ago
@curlye93
The ultimate reason why people must replace rice cakes, popcorn, etc. is because they are empty calories. The term 'empty calorie' means that it has no nutritional benefits like vitamins and minerals.
This is why you get hungry 1 hour later, because your body is not hungry for food, it's hungry for vitamins.
The main idea here is that the body burns fat much faster when it has lots of vitamins, minerals, and No Sugar. The more vitamins/minerals, the more fat burn.

Oh dear, the starvation mode crap, while there is a reduction in metabolic rate in response to drastic calorie cuts, it never has been found to exceed more than about 15-20% at the EXTREME, we are talking starvation, 1200 calories a day is not starvation.
Starvation studies have consistently shown that fat will continue to be utilized for substrate even in starvation conditions.

@TheDano1947 You won't be, it will be mainly water loss. To lose or gain a pound of 'fat' you need to consume or burn 3500 calories. People who say they have gained 2 pounds in a day, would in theory have to have eaten 7000 calories more than what they were already eating....basically not possible unless you were completely stuffing your face...so most likely water retention.

Like I said before, do what works for you. I know people who can literally eat anything they want and not put on any weight simply because of their strong metabolism. You said you do not need to do cardio or create a calorie deficit to lose weight which was proven wrong by MY own experience and doing. Just because YOU only absorb 40% of the fats YOU eat, it does not apply to everyone else. But for the majority of people, they need to have a calorie deficit to lose weight. Calorie is a calorie.

@S0lidSnake001 Trust me, a calorie is not a calorie.You do realise that a calorie is a measurement of energy. Why do you think everything you put in your stomach is going to absorbed/used the same way, and hence make the same weight gain. 10 calories of protein, is not going to gain weight like 10g of sugar. EVERYTHING has a calorific value, not just food. If I ate 100 calories of plastic, do you think Im going to gain weight, the same as 100 calories of carbs? No, because I can't digest plastic
