I disagree with you Steve. I have been on a low carb diet for 3 months and I haven't eaten less. In fact I eat about 2,000 more calories than I did before the low carb diet. Also you don't always feel sluggish. Since I been on it I have had a lot more energy. And as far as low carb diets go, they are like any other diet. Allow yourself one cheat day a week and you will still lose weight.
Wondering why no one read about DietOramy healthy diet plan? I was randomly hammering Google and discovered it - I have to admit it is actually the 1st food regimen that I've sampled that does not make me feel always hungry, and I am nevertheless losing extra weight.
I was really thinking about doing a Low Carb Diet but then I seen this video and your other 2 on it. You make losing weight a really simple idea.....Eat what you want just don't over do it and work every or every other day.
This is just not true. Sugar is toxic in your blood stream, why do you think we produce insulin to rid ourselves of it? Complex carbohydrates from vegetables is better for your body than simple sugars. Yes, you do get an energy burst from simple sugars, but over time, you develop insulin resistance, then diabetes before age 40.
why do you want me to NOT feel good. I feel soo good now when im in this low cqrb High fat diet can you please answer me that? i lose 5 kg and i wasnt fat when im started, my muscles are bigger and I am much stronger explain why this works. and why high carbs low fat diet didnt?????????
I can't believe there are so many dislikes. People must be brainwashed by Atkins or something. I'm from Norway so I have no idea what the public idea is, as far as weight loss is concerned.
Myself, I've lost weight EASILY, using a diet, or a way of life rather, supporting athletic ability. My only concern is to eat food that gives me energy to move my ass. (carbs, and balanced meals)
Think about your health to, not just losing weight! Great video Steve!
@Scampern And I have to continue this. The most important thing, as Steve talks about in alot of his videos and on his Blog, is to eat what you LIKE, but in reasonable amounts. Because if you dont' you won't stick with the diet, and you will fail in your attempt on a healthier lifestyle.
Ive had weeks losing weight and eating candy EACH day, AND gaining muscle. Sure, I only ate about 25-100 grams and kept and eye on my calories, but it proves the no carb hysteria is nonsense.
The fact that you talk about intake of calories as the reason you gain weight is a joke. How is this allowed to be on the internet...If all you eat all day was bacon, and I mean mountains of it, you will lose weight regardless of how many calories..you sir are a joke, don't give people advice when you clearly have no knowledge of biochemistry or nutrition for that matter
People talk about low carb diets like they're weird... and a "fad" diet. Man has been eating a diet of mostly meat, leafy veggies, maybe some berries and nuts here and there if they could find them for about 2 million years and they did just fine. If you look at hunter-gatherer communities that still follow a similar lifestyle, they are in perfect health.
I would choose a fatty piece of meat any day over some crappy grains containing anti nutrients, excess fiber, insulin (stores fat and decreases HGH) spiking carbs, and traces of rat hair, droppings, urine and bugs.
Seriously. Try eat a meal of boiled potatoes ON THEIR own or a loaf of bread ON ITS own and honestly say that it tastes better or is more nourishing than fat meat
I never really liked this low carb diet craze. I prefer sensible eating. These low-carb diet followers eat too much meat, and this makes the kidneys work really hard to digest. If you or your family history has kidney problems, you are not doing yourself any favours passing on the potatoes to fill yourself on steak. Control your portion size, and exercise, and you can have a bit of protein, a bit of carbs, and a bit of fat with each meal and you will lose weight and be healthy.

Godbles you, honestly thank u so much for making all your awesome quick 1 to 2 minutes health fitness informative video clips, truly great video's to removing double and misconception .
i counter my calories for 1 month straight on low carb at 4000 calories. Every single day i made sure i had at least 4000 calories to put this diet to the test. I lost 5 lbs and have kept it off since i started the diet. Can you explain this. I'm not trying to be a know it all and prove you wrong but i this is the truth btw i am already very lean and i am a young athlete but 4000 calories still should have been too much to lose weight.
@machackertk waterweight. low carb diets make you lose fluids. and if you're an athlete it's actually possible that you are burning 4k calories or more. People competing in tour de france eat about 5-6k calories. You're probably just really active.

Just by not eating the devils food i.e cheese,mayo,crisps,chocs and chips you will start loosing waight.I strongly belive tho if you dont exersize at the same time you may as well not bother and accept defeat, you gotta burn mother fuckers!
You are probably right but if you want to lets say get ripped for the summer like me and are generally a greedy fucker with food the atkins diet is the only one which will work fast enough as you loose hunger after a few days.
I guess it depends on goals....there is a diff between weight loss and fat loss. As an athletic person fat loss is what i want so keeping to a regular low calorie diet doesnt reall do it
@bolish Why would keeping to a regular low calorie diet not keep your bodyfat relatively low? Low bodyfat is really a result of keeping your calories reasonalbly low against a daily activity level which then creates a small daily caloric deficit done consistantly over time. Keeping that low bodyfat level is then the result of monitoring portion and calories against your daily activity level. Low carb is low calorie, but there are too many variables in low carb that upset fat to muscle ratios.
Newsflash: Muscle and brain run on fat, too. For the last few million years men were hunting game without a gram of carbohydrate (since they obviously had none in the winter).
@BodyPerformanceTV Not really "suger" it runs on Glucose witch the body can produces when needed its called Gluconeogenesis. You need to remeber that low carb dosent mean no carb.. So eating about 20g of carbs per day will easy fill up the need of glucose for your brain to function perfectly.
@wwwdotcome the brain requires in excess of 100g of glucose. Whether that's a result of modern dependence or continual evolutionary biology has yet to be determined.
@MikeEnRegalia Close, but no. Muscle runs on glycogen, produced by processing carbohydrate, and your brain runs on glucose. These are naturally produced in sufficient quantity by your body no matter what you eat. For the last few million years, humans developed agriculture, and since that time we have become smaller, and fatter. Before that time, we ate mostly vegetables and meats, nuts, seeds and berries, few grains, fruits, but no simple sugars or dairy beyond infancy.
Lol,...actually you suck because your don't have the background, common sense, or mental aptitude to comprehend. Study and learn for awhile, then come back to us. That should take about 2 years.
hey steve have you ever heard of Bodyopus? start sunday at 6:00PM. to like friday at 3:00 PM with ZERO CARBS only a moderate amount of protein and really high fats for 5 days straight? then on the weekends you carb up. Someone told me your body burns tons a fat when you do this at such a rate that all the fat your consuming is just trying to slow it down so you dont burn too much
People on Low Carb diets lose some weight,...but because of the muscle loss, they end up have HORRIBLE body compositions. I've NEVER see anyone on a low carb diet with a really lean and strong looking physique. They always look kind of soft and not toned....although slender. That's what happened to me. Higher carb with reasonable protein and about 15% of your calories coming from heatlhy Omega -3 fats will give you that lean, healthy, chiseled look.
That's only gonna happen if you do not take in enough protein to help maintain muscle or atleast reduce the amount you lose. I've heard several people who did the Atkins diet who lost barely any muscle mass. Keep in mind, if all you do is diet, and not exercise then all you'll have is a rather skinny body. You can maintain your lean tissue, but you have to work out to make it bigger.
That's not correct. And that's not why muscle was lost. I do a powerlifting/bodybuilding workout. Used to compete in powerlifting. Heavy Iron training went on through my entire Low Carb period. With less the 50 grams of carb per day, the majority of my calories was fat,...the rest protein. I still have my eating journals from 1998. MORE then enough protein on board for building and maintaining muscle. Watch the video above. Steve explains the muscle Low Carb/Muscle loss issue perfectly.
I won't do a low carb diet. I prefer to do a low calorie diet with a protein consumption of 120 - 150 grams a day and prefer to keep my fats and carbs equal to one another. Basically, I try to keep an equal balance between the three macronutrients.
You've NEVER seen anyone on a low carb diet look lean and strong??? Most professional bodybuilders, on stage, are carbed down pre-contest. Most athletes I talk to (I play college football) find that eating low carb is superior to caloric restriction for maintaining muscle mass due to the high protein/fat intake....your generalizations seem unfounded
That is totally incorrect. Bodybuilders remove carbs from their diet in the last few days before a contest only. They do this because removing carbs has a diuretic effect and they lose any retained bodywater. On contest day they carb up again and before going on stage they carb up further with a refined sugary simple carbohydrate meal to increase blood volume. Eating low carb is NOT superior to eating a balanced meal. It's not even on par,...it is in fact inferior. Watch the video above please.
There is absolutely NO reason to make your diet and fat loss this complicated. Masters of leanness do NOT get involved with this type of stuff. Just eat a balanced diet and cut calories slowly as you lose fat. Tracking progression and keeping a good journal are the keys to ultimate leanness. On top of that steph, some of what you're saying is not scientifically correct. But all together, getting this complicated of a regime to lose bodyfat is not needed..is not good,..and is beyond ridiculous.
also atkins diet is modified for a bodybuilder, carbs are the only source of fuel for glycogen. body cannot produce glycogen from fat. thats why we have weekly carb ups.
by performing weekly carb up, and keeping glycogen levels up (also with the assistance of pwo w/ sugars) youre unlikely to go catabolic
you are right about body doesnt know what fat to burn. but if youre body is in a state ( ketosis) where its burning fat for fuel, it now has a quick source of energy ketones then for more fuel it will look for fat. if youre calorie defecit by 500 calories, its more likely to go hunting for fat in your body
if youre on a carb diet, your body is expecting blood glucose; should you calorie defecit it may eat into fats yes, but it can also go into protein cause that'll satisfy its need for glucose
but if your body has no 'ready sugars' like carbohydrates, the body combats this by producing ketones.. ketones are quickly converted for energy so why does this guy completely miss that?
that 'sluggish' feeling is only in the intro phase
He doesn't miss that, it's just not healthy to do so. Those also are not readily available, they have to be processed in the body and put strain on your organs. It's no coincidence why so many people on low carb diets look like saggy corpses. Your body does not like to be on a low carb diet, and you simply get used to sluggishness, it doesnt go away. You may feel fitter after losing weight, but that's just because you used to be fat.You will never stop craving an essential nutrient like carbs.
your body isnt any more strained on a ketogenic diet any more than it is on a carb rich diet. and thats bs you get used to being sluggish, im at university and i remain the same level of concentration etc. with keto or my carb rich diet
and of course youll feel fitter after loosing weight whether its carb, keto, starving yourself, etc
Whether you are hit hard by poor brain function as a result of carbohydate starvation depends on how functional your brain was to begin with, and your level of mental agility is suspect, based on your comments here. Craving something might not make it natural, but you are sure to crave something natural. I can only warn you at this point that very low carbohydrate diets run risks of kidney and liver damage, cancer, and inhibited brain function. You can choose to deny it, but only mistakenly.
mental agility? i'm in one of australias top universities studying law and finance i dont think i'd get this far with an effected mental agility as you claim
granted i dont study health science i'll be humble here and ask you how can a keto diet damage my kidneys, liver and cancer?
... assume macros are kept in check (fats roughly 70%) so you aren't getting too much protein here which i know can cause kidney problems..
@VariedInterest sorry but these are all myths and not facts.. if low carb diets would have given us cancer and bad kidnyes and liver we wouldn't be here to day as low carb diets was an everyday diet about 300 years ago..
I'll stick with what works. Atkins works. If you have a eating problem then not eating is a bigger problem. Atkins you can eat. He mentions sacrafice, well working out is a sacrifice to people who do not like to work out. A even harder sacrifice is counting calories eating chemically lowerd calorie foods and feeling like you never ate. We have been on the is planet for millions of years only eathing off the land..eh..meat and veggies....ehhh low carb.
What works is natural foods that are naturally low in calories. Restricting your carbs too much can and does cause muscle loss. I've experienced this TWICE with low carb. Once for 4 months and once for 14 months. That's 18 months of low carb. Bad breath, bad body composition,...bad strength gains. It's not natural and not worth it.
You've totally missed the point. You're also not understanding how regular diets/eating patterns work. You don't need to count calories. Atkins works....but it just doesn't work very well. That's why competitive bodybuilders don't go near it.
today i have.. gone jogging.. probably atleast 3 miles.. done some medium weight liftnig.. and hit the sauna.. same wtih yesterday.. i can eat whatever the hell i want.. an entire halloween bag of snickers bars wont make me look any different.. then again when i try and push myself to be over 160 pounds ripped its very hard.. cause i can skip literally half a days meals and shrink
Actually many obese people are carrying a sigfiicant amount of muscle mass from carrying around all that weight everyday. Yes you're right, a low carb diet does make you lose weight quickly...initially. But much of that is water weight. You lose retained water when carbs are removed. After that, you lose fat and muscle weight; mostly fat, but a disturbing amount of muscle comes with it. If this diet gets people out of danger territory wieghtwise...and they stick to it,..then it's worth it.
You say grind the white rice for better gains? I have to say I don't understand that one. Gains as in muscle gains? I know that many bodybuilders used to have a simple sugar snack some hours before going on stage to increase the volume of blood to the muscle when the pumped up....or something like that.
Carbs do not cause hunger. Some refined/ simple carbs can to a degree spike insulin which can then result some hours later lower blood sugar. THAT is what causes unnatural hunger cravings. White flour, white rice, sugary sweetend carbs and even juicing..with all the bulk and fiber of the fruit and veggies removed can spike insulin causing this type of hunger. Eat NATURAL carbs! Red potatoes, natural fiber breads, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, brown rice, they'll fill you up for less cals.
There are plenty of bodybuilders who do low-carb all year long, and they all look pretty muscular to me.
Carbs are addicting and also cause hunger. How do lose weight if your hungry all the time? You never heard that old saying "If you eat Chinese food, you'll be hungry in an hour?" If the idea is to eat less calories, you want to severely cut down the carb cravings. Eating a high-carb diet will make you hungry all day long.
#3 - The brain runs on whatever source of energy we provide it.
Yeah he's got those big friggin' Bi's doesn't he. Yeah it was..hmmm back in 1999-2003 or thereabouts. They'd have on Dr. Atkins, Dean Ornish, Sears from the Zone diet and on and on.They'd keep bringing it back, sometimes 3 nights in a row because it drew such heavy audience numbers. I wasn't really a huge Donohue fan but I couldn't tune those shows out. Some nights it felt like we were seconds away from punches being thrown; it got that heated! NOBODY EVER mentioned the muscle loss issue..NEVER!
After 5 years of the Atkins diet, I keep proving it works fine for athletes too. I do 5-6 Half and full marathons a year while also doing resistance training as well. There is nothing that prohibits exercise while on ketogenic diets - Dr. Stephen Phinney proved that.
Steve do you remember all the lowfat, higher carb vs. the Atkins diet wars on Donohue on CNBC a few years back? Man that got more heated then general political discussions. Your comments regarding muscle loss on Atkins and diets like it IS TRULY,..THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD SOMEONE TALK ABOUT THAT!! You'd think sharper minds would have picked up on that immediately. Whatever health effects occur from high fat diets, negative or positive, the muscle loss issue is the ultimate deal breaker.
I don't remember those shows but it's amazing that people will agrue for low carb type diets without any real knowledge or scientific understanding of what really occurs.
Atkins NEVER argued that his diet was for Athletes or Bodybuilders.
And most of the obese people the diet was aimed at did not have much muscle to speak of to begin with.
The diet makes you lose weight quick, after that he suggests exercise and the reintroduction of fresh fruits, veggies and whole grain breads within reason.
I think it's more important to keep your insulin/blood glucose levels on a relatively even keel all day. But to "flatline" the whole thing is a bit extreme. If enough carbs are not present you will consume muscle. You need some carbs to burn fat. I don't know if 50g per day of carbs is enough? On this site is THE FIRST TIME, I've ever heard someone mention that 1/3 to 1/2 of all weight lost on Atkins is muscle. I still have my diet/training journal from 98'. THAT IS excatly what happened to me.
After weaning off carbs, your brain can fuel itself with ketones and many think that ketones were the original fuel, with carbs as an accessory method.
But your blood insulin levels go up with a high carb, but not high fat diet, and when insulin is high, then you can't burn fat or build muscle. So it makes sense to eat metabolically.
That's true. I was on one for 14 months back in 98'. It's an odd diet. I remember buying tic-tacs because of bad breath. Experienced mental fatigue from time to time. Usually I was O.K. though. As long as I kept my shirt on,..you couldn't tell how "skinny-fat" it was making me. But just walking around from day to day and looking in the mirror, I actually looked healthy and not too bad. I believe there are some benefits to skin, nails, hair ect. from high protein and fat. (maybe all the eggs?).
Stay on it and keep losing. But, be ware, you are going to lose muscle. If I were you, I'd get my weight down, continue strength training as I hope you're doing, and then when your weight gets low, switch back to a healthier diet.
Was lifting heavy and hard back in 1998-1999 as I am today. I remember being stunned that will all the protein I was taking in, I was losing strength on all lifts. I was LOSING muscle. I was dehydrated and lost quite a bit of water weight. I believe I was in a state of Ketosis. When this happens, you're appetite becomes supressed (I believe). Some days I ate too few calories. I remember losing 45 lbs on low carb and being stunned how smooth I was after all that weight loss. Don't go low carb!
Say NO to low carb diets. Low carb diets have now been debunked. Thankfully fewer people are going on them. I was on one for 14 months over a decade ago. Tried it for 6 weeks back in 1992 when they were first coming out. All the ways we've come with diet and nutrition research and new types of foods and Organic and everything else under the sun, and it finally comes down to what it was at the beginning;.." Calories IN,...Calories OUT! " I'm glad I tried low carb so I can speak from experience.
Everything you say in this video is a myth that has been debunked by numerous studies. After watching a few of your videos, it seems that you get your info from muscle mags instead of actual studies. Read The Anabolic diet by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale.
Low carb diets are great and work and once you get down you can start to incorporate carbs back into your diet in moderation and enjoy that bread and pasta to some extent.
the brain is fuelled by carbohydrates in the presence of lots of carbohydrates. Ketones are the preferred source of fuel for the brain, which come after your body has metabolically switched to burning fat as a primary source. And as far as not eating pasta and bread etc...uh, who gives a fuck? Eating whole real foods like steak, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, cheese and vegetables is far more satisfying. (I'm open to debate though)
Also i talk by personal experience, i've been low-carbing for years and i'm fine. Have you ever tried that and felt you were about to die? I don't think so
Damn you are stubborn, you absolutely refuse to take into account finer details of the facts you're talking about. Many lies can be true by omission, and that's the case here. Calories in..calories out...that's so 80's, but back then we had 10% of the information we have now. There are hundreds of books and studies done since then, maybe you should get your facts straight a little
The main problem is he implies with Atkins you have to go almost no carb the rest of your life, and that's simply not the case. You can up your carbs to decent level when you get closer or at the weight you wanna be, you by no means have to go thru life without breads or pasta.
My mom is starting a low carb diet called, the Sugar Busters diet, and after looking at the food list, I could see that it actually encourages you to eat foods with artificial sweeteners, and to stay away from sugar and honey. Oh well, I bought two 50ct. boxes of Stevia from the store today.
It must be quite hard for the ego to have everything we say contredict by everybody's own experience. How do you think anyone will believe this?
Once on a low carb diet, the body needs about 40gram of glucose a day. That easily is being reached trough vegetables, berries, glycerol from meat, and neoglucogenese. You arguments are just so lame. So lame. Stop whinning. Why we'd NEED to consume stuff that are bad for us? reeducate your self, and learn to live without it!
You assume every low carb diet is low calorie. This is not the case. This is where everything breaks down. I am on a low carb diet, not a no carb diet. I get enough carns, I eat pasta and bread when I need it or want it. I love oats with banana and honey the night before the morning gym session. I have a carb spike shake before the gym.
Do more exercise, eat in a controlled manner, reduce and don't eliminate the carbs and all will be well.
Doing Low carb doesn't mean no carb. People want to look at the strictist forms of an Atkins style diet and renounce the whole thing. If a person reduces the simple carbs....the white flower, the sugar and focuses on good carbs they will do fine. Low carb isn't the problem it's the american diet and similar eating habits. Low carb isn't no carb. Doesn't have to be. Taubes got it right and atleast shed some light in the right direction.
You Sir are quite correct. The video poster I believe does not fully understand the discussion and is making the assumption of low carb = no carb. It is a shame as people will listen to him.
Actually he understands how to lose weight perfectly. You could eat carbs ALL DAY LONG and still lose weight as long as you're taking in less calories than your are burning. Carbs, Fat, Protein... it DOESN'T matter. TOTAL Calories are all that matters.
You do not understand what you are talking about. A calorie deficit will yes see weight loss. However a restructuring of macronutrient makeup will change the bodies actions. But you do not understand that and it is easier to repeat the mantra... calorie deficit is all it takes. It works but it is not the whole story. I suspect you will never understand the whole story.
You also have 'The truth about steroids' which tries to debunk the fact that roids cause heart failure as one of your favourite videos. That says all we need to know about you.
I believe we are talking about calories and carbs here. What I have on my video list has NOTHING to do with this subject... don't stray from the subject just because you're wrong man.
I think it is evident you have no understanding of this subject or likely any subject regarding health and fitness. You are evidently ill educated and most likely believe curls to be the best exercise out there.
You notice how I back up my postings with... erm what are they called... oh yeah... facts, and a general understanding of the subject. Now that is why it is a great post.
You however do not. Now calm down before you get roid rage.
Neither do you contribute anything fo value to this discussion. Good day and on a passing note i would suggest you go and read up on this subject to save you posting embaressing rubbish in the future which does nothing but highlight your lack of appreciation and understanding of the subject matter.
I shall not be responding to you in future as you are quite clearly a candidate for regular nursing help.
I wasn't going to comment again however one more word.
The fact that you try and drag in the hypothetical 'guys' in a gay lame playground way shows you up to be an ignorant fool.
Go back to the steroid loving you tard because that is where you are at. I bet you never even go to the gyn prefering to go trolling on the internet spouting rubbish.
I wasn't aware that "Gay Playgrounds" existed but apparently you have the inside scoop on those. Well I'm actually off to the gym right now burnin' up those calories and losing weight while eating the foods I love. Have fun on the monkey bars!
I agree with you that no carbs SUCKS>.. at first anyway. Ive BTDT and lost a lot of weight not eating carbs. I went from 270 - 200 in about 3 months. The first few weeks are hell but once you start burning KEYTONES for energy your carb cravings go away. In fact you actually lose all desire for bread and pasta. That and they taste disgusting so you don't want them anymore. I went back to low carbs 3 weeks ago and Im down 12 lbs and also I have built a good amount of muscle. For me it works!
I've been on low carb diets before. They do wonders for my blood sugar levels (I'm diabetic) but I feel bad. I did lose weight on Atkins but I just can't stay on it. I use it when my sugar gets dangerously high then switch back to eating my veggies.
1) Carbs are needed to effectively burn fats completely. This occurs in the cells. Krebs or Citric Acid cycle 2) Sugars don't spike blood sugar as much as people think. Pure table sugar is 50% fructose which is absorbed slowly by the in intestines & THEN broken down my the liver. 3) Too much of anything will make people fat 4) Just eating protein will not cause muscle growth. You must be lifting too. 5) People who gain weight from eating "nothing" are always over eating something at sometime.
I live with somebody who only eats toast and crumpets for years ..maybe 6 a day and she got fat... actully obese ... I'm on a high protein / low carb diet and gaining lean muscle and losing FAT. Carbs turn to sugar which spikes insulin which stops your body from using your fat as energy. It's a survival mechanism. If u contantly spike your insulin you are constantly storing fat for when u MAY need it .Which will be never if you keep eating carbs. I know Steve's an expert but I cant C th logic.
Never been in ketosis. Gave up bread, pasta, rice and white potatoes two years ago, haven't suffered one day. You can actually eat mostly vegetables and some fruit on a low carb diet if you do it right. Counting calories? Now that's a horrible way to live.
steve steve steve we know that fat is caused by lipogenic is the conversion to carbohydrates into fat so when you lower your carbs your not storing fat and by creating a calorie deficit as well you will loose bodyfat throw a bit of carb cycling into the mix and there you have a fat burning stage to go down to verylow bodyfat percentage
This "way of life " I can eat all day long if I want. I have not excersised but maybe twice a week. you are tired then about 4 - 5 days when you start. I look great and have not gained back any weight for 11 months. Don't care how it works it just does. My blood levels are excellent my bp is 112/68 today. Try it and get receipes off you tube. Tons of info on here!!!
Continue my reply: If you have a physical job you need carbohydrates and if you have a sedetary job like a job were you sit a lot you don´t need so much carbs in your meals. It´s all about the right carbs and at the right times.
p.s excess sugar turns into fat and all carbs whole grain or not eventually break down into sugar. fat also doesnt raise insulin thus not promoting fat storage.
WILLET, W., C. (2002) OBESITY REVIEW 2002, 3, (2), 59-68. Fats are not the cause of obesity.
Metabolic acidosis promotes excretion of hydrogen ions(low ph), increased cortisol, aldosterone & ammonia..

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL NUTRITION (2002) VOL75 NO5, 951-953. Carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient in the diet.
you dont need "immediate" energy all day long! yes brain does function on carbs BUT you can get them from veg and fruit. remember your heart runs of saturated fat! lol gettin rid of carbs altogether would suck tho, i do like them but not needed in amounts we are told!
I'd also like to point out the hormonal imbalances that occur whilst on very low carb diets. When blood sugar is low the body releases cortisol to stimulate gluconeogenesis to make more glucose available for fuel. Elevated cortisol levels can be destructive in the long term, as it is a stress hormone and a catabolic hormone eating away at the muscles which may explain the huge weight loss people see. It damages bones, organs, brain cells etc Eat a balanced diet to keep your hormones balanced
But to each there own, some people are insulin sensitive and need to reduce carbs. Diets are just like anything else in life let your individual results dictate what you do.
Want to see the best fat burning book ever written look up tom venuto.
The authour is absolutley right. At the end of the day it's always going to be calories in vs calories out no matter what type of diet your on. I always favour balance instead of extremes. Balanced diet being 40 - 50% carbs, 30-40% protein, 20 - 30% fat. Being on a very low carb diet is an stupid as being on an extremly high carb diet. Balance is always the key. Our bodies run on glucose for a reason.
Ready anything from Covery Baily. Degrees from Harvard and MIT. Read any A&P text book. Pennington Biomedical Research Inst. and the we can have an educated discussion.
Bodyperformance, in the first video on this subject, you showed your ignorance. In this one, you are misleading. You're saying that being on the low-carb diet, "You have to go through life NEVER eating bread, pasta, potatoe". Like in any diet, you can have of everything once in a while. What I hear from most people who say that low-carb diets don't work is that we should have grains every day. Some people have a body that does not respond well to such food. It makes them fat.
i have never felt more energized than when i eat low carb. carbs make me need naps and have brain fogs. its amazing how cutting down on them has made me feel so much better.
so true! Low-carb is the real life, i was addicted to all those carbs, i dont want them back in my life. I feel energetic all day long and lose weight without excercise...sorry bodyperformance tv, your profits go down the drain ;)
Gee, what did our ancestors do 100,000+ years ago? Eat rice and yams all day and surgically take the fat out of the food they killed and count their calories? No. They ate fat and protein in abundance and obviously did not die of heart attacks proving your idiotic teachings, incorrect. I hate people who advocate high carb diets and look down on anything else. You can in fact eat all the fat and protein you want b/c the human body is evolved to process those for energy, and it keeps insulin low.
Amen! They sell high-carb diets because its a growing market: people eat them, eat more because they turn fat, need 2 excercise, need medicines for all diseases that derive from carbs etc. etc.
I go low Carb (Meat, Cheese, Water) for only a day or two at a time. I've been seeing great results. I also don't eat simple carbs anymore at all. I also have been switching up my workouts. I LOST 38 POUNDS IN 3 MONTHS! I think I finally have the healthy lifestyle thing down. I used to try and lose as much weight as fast as possible but ALWAYS gain it back. Now I KNOW that slow weight loss is the most benificial in the long run.
Congratulations! Do you find that your life sucks since you're on the low-carb diet, as Bodyperformance put it? Your experience, mine and the one of millions of other people just destroy the weird Bodyperformance's ideas about low-carb diets. He's dangerous.
the problem with low carb diets is that its hard to maintain your weight loss i know eat whole frain carbs and I almost never get hungry and I have lost a lot of weight with that and exersize. I dont really believe in diets like atkins I did it and lost weight but couldnt maintain it for long but now aI have been a normal size for five years
I eat carbs in the form of Veggies. Carbs from bread/pasta...especially white flour types...I have a hard time with. Every body is different. The fact of the matter is that the American diet is filled with junk calories and an excess of Carb calories. Eat clean and eat often.
Exactly. I truly believe that you should tailor your diet to your own body. You have to experiment day after day with different combinaisons of food. A diary journal is essential so you can analyse the data later on. In my case, I write down everything I eat, the number of fibers, the number of calories.
The science doesn't make sense because you don't know why the body burns fat stored when you eat lots of fat? Dude, don't worry about it, you don't look like much of a scientist to me! It has taken 100,000 years of evolution for our species to exist today and eating a high carb diet just throws the system out of wack. Everyone has a different carb threshold where this becomes a problem.
Simple carbs and trans fats were not around 100 years ago.
sigh...if this guy knew anything about biology, biochem or nutrition he would know how the body chooses between the two fats and why you still lose fat mass when you consume an amount of fat. You've also got to be a bit crazy to believe that eating a high fat diet (a la atkins) is actualyl beneficial for your weight or health. Sillyness.
i think you missed the point. hes saying dont restirct your self cause diets liek this fail... Every one says this you burn more cals than you take in. theres no other way to loose weight.
Great question! Notice that Xennondiablos never answered your question? lol. It's because he does not have an answer! He is just parroting what everyone else said or wrote. I challenge anyone to post a link to a website about a study proving that exercise makes you lose weight.
exercise per se doesn't make you lose weight. The calorie deficit it produces does. If your sitting at home doing nothing and still in a calorie deficit your going to lose weight regardless
yeah exercsie is always better than starving off the fat. I prefer to eat more to feed the msucle and burn off the fat. When you starve you become a ''skinny'' fat person.
Yes in deed. You obviously have to eat less calories than you burn in a day but if you eat too little calories and very little protein you lose more musclemass than fat. I wrote this to another video but you need carbs before you workout with weights and before you do high intensive cardio. It´s more important to check how much bodyfat you have lost than how much weight that you have lost.
Forti-"Guyton,Textbook of Medical Physiology- calorie expenditures of activities:
Activity/Calories per hour
Rapid typing 140
Carpentry, industrial painting 240
exercise 290
Severe exercise 450
Very severe exercise 600
If otherwise normal activity is typing, the increase in activity for very severe exercise is 600 - 140 = 460 Calories/hour. Animal "fat" has ~3500 Calories/pound, so exercise "very severely" for 3500/460 = 7.608 hours to burn 1 pound fat. No wonder so many are fat.
Does that take into account the after burn effect exercise has?? Also have a calorie deficit in your diet of about 200 calories. Combine that with your severe exercise = 660 calories. Say you wanna do cardio 5 times a week thats a calorie deficit of 3300 that you have created and lose a pound a fat a week.
Weight doesn't matter body composition matters. You can find out how many pounds of fat you need to lose by having your body comp tested.
Have a diet that has about 250 calories in a calorie deficit and exercise for an hour for 5days a week. thats 250 + 290 = 540 calories a day. Thats 2700 for the 5 days that you exercise plus that with the 500 calories a day you save through diet on your days off is 3200 a week. So nearly a Pound of FAT a week, not weight but fat. And thats all that matters.
"Does that take into account the after burn effect exercise has?"
It doesn't take into account meals or metabolism afterward, it takes into account >7 hrs of severe exercise is required to burn 1 lb animal fat. Or u can run 43 miles b4 the next meal.
"have a calorie deficit in your diet of about 200 calories"
Calories are 1 index of measuring energy/guidelines. Weight of food is another. Where are u coming up w/200 calorie deficit? Are u suggesting the avg calorie intake should be 3700/day?
lol no u missed the point i was making. My idea of the best nutrition is to feed the muscle and burn the fat off through exercise. Going by the guidelines you gave me 1 hour of normal exercise burns 290 calories so take that away from 500 calories thats 210 calories. Your diet creates a deficit of 210 calories and you burn off 290 calories a day for a grand total of 500 caolires a day deficit. 500 times 7 is 3500 so theoretically you burn of a pound of fat a week.
I disagree with you Steve. I have been on a low carb diet for 3 months and I haven't eaten less. In fact I eat about 2,000 more calories than I did before the low carb diet. Also you don't always feel sluggish. Since I been on it I have had a lot more energy. And as far as low carb diets go, they are like any other diet. Allow yourself one cheat day a week and you will still lose weight.

This is just not true. Sugar is toxic in your blood stream, why do you think we produce insulin to rid ourselves of it? Complex carbohydrates from vegetables is better for your body than simple sugars. Yes, you do get an energy burst from simple sugars, but over time, you develop insulin resistance, then diabetes before age 40.

I never really liked this low carb diet craze. I prefer sensible eating. These low-carb diet followers eat too much meat, and this makes the kidneys work really hard to digest. If you or your family history has kidney problems, you are not doing yourself any favours passing on the potatoes to fill yourself on steak. Control your portion size, and exercise, and you can have a bit of protein, a bit of carbs, and a bit of fat with each meal and you will lose weight and be healthy.

bolish88 1 year ago
@bolish Why would keeping to a regular low calorie diet not keep your bodyfat relatively low? Low bodyfat is really a result of keeping your calories reasonalbly low against a daily activity level which then creates a small daily caloric deficit done consistantly over time. Keeping that low bodyfat level is then the result of monitoring portion and calories against your daily activity level. Low carb is low calorie, but there are too many variables in low carb that upset fat to muscle ratios.

Before that time, we ate mostly vegetables and meats, nuts, seeds and berries, few grains, fruits, but no simple sugars or dairy beyond infancy.

People on Low Carb diets lose some weight,...but because of the muscle loss, they end up have HORRIBLE body compositions. I've NEVER see anyone on a low carb diet with a really lean and strong looking physique. They always look kind of soft and not toned....although slender. That's what happened to me. Higher carb with reasonable protein and about 15% of your calories coming from heatlhy Omega -3 fats will give you that lean, healthy, chiseled look.
brushfour 2 years ago
That's only gonna happen if you do not take in enough protein to help maintain muscle or atleast reduce the amount you lose. I've heard several people who did the Atkins diet who lost barely any muscle mass. Keep in mind, if all you do is diet, and not exercise then all you'll have is a rather skinny body. You can maintain your lean tissue, but you have to work out to make it bigger.

That's not correct. And that's not why muscle was lost. I do a powerlifting/bodybuilding workout. Used to compete in powerlifting. Heavy Iron training went on through my entire Low Carb period. With less the 50 grams of carb per day, the majority of my calories was fat,...the rest protein. I still have my eating journals from 1998. MORE then enough protein on board for building and maintaining muscle. Watch the video above. Steve explains the muscle Low Carb/Muscle loss issue perfectly.
brushfour 1 year ago
I won't do a low carb diet. I prefer to do a low calorie diet with a protein consumption of 120 - 150 grams a day and prefer to keep my fats and carbs equal to one another. Basically, I try to keep an equal balance between the three macronutrients.
ZeroToleranceForBULL 1 year ago
You've NEVER seen anyone on a low carb diet look lean and strong??? Most professional bodybuilders, on stage, are carbed down pre-contest. Most athletes I talk to (I play college football) find that eating low carb is superior to caloric restriction for maintaining muscle mass due to the high protein/fat intake....your generalizations seem unfounded
acebassoon 1 year ago
That is totally incorrect. Bodybuilders remove carbs from their diet in the last few days before a contest only. They do this because removing carbs has a diuretic effect and they lose any retained bodywater. On contest day they carb up again and before going on stage they carb up further with a refined sugary simple carbohydrate meal to increase blood volume. Eating low carb is NOT superior to eating a balanced meal. It's not even on par,...it is in fact inferior. Watch the video above please.
brushfour 1 year ago
There is absolutely NO reason to make your diet and fat loss this complicated. Masters of leanness do NOT get involved with this type of stuff. Just eat a balanced diet and cut calories slowly as you lose fat. Tracking progression and keeping a good journal are the keys to ultimate leanness. On top of that steph, some of what you're saying is not scientifically correct. But all together, getting this complicated of a regime to lose bodyfat is not needed..is not good,..and is beyond ridiculous.
brushfour 2 years ago
also atkins diet is modified for a bodybuilder, carbs are the only source of fuel for glycogen. body cannot produce glycogen from fat. thats why we have weekly carb ups.
by performing weekly carb up, and keeping glycogen levels up (also with the assistance of pwo w/ sugars) youre unlikely to go catabolic
stephanos88 2 years ago
you are right about body doesnt know what fat to burn. but if youre body is in a state ( ketosis) where its burning fat for fuel, it now has a quick source of energy ketones then for more fuel it will look for fat. if youre calorie defecit by 500 calories, its more likely to go hunting for fat in your body
if youre on a carb diet, your body is expecting blood glucose; should you calorie defecit it may eat into fats yes, but it can also go into protein cause that'll satisfy its need for glucose
stephanos88 2 years ago
but if your body has no 'ready sugars' like carbohydrates, the body combats this by producing ketones.. ketones are quickly converted for energy so why does this guy completely miss that?

He doesn't miss that, it's just not healthy to do so. Those also are not readily available, they have to be processed in the body and put strain on your organs. It's no coincidence why so many people on low carb diets look like saggy corpses. Your body does not like to be on a low carb diet, and you simply get used to sluggishness, it doesnt go away. You may feel fitter after losing weight, but that's just because you used to be fat.You will never stop craving an essential nutrient like carbs.

Actually many obese people are carrying a sigfiicant amount of muscle mass from carrying around all that weight everyday. Yes you're right, a low carb diet does make you lose weight quickly...initially. But much of that is water weight. You lose retained water when carbs are removed. After that, you lose fat and muscle weight; mostly fat, but a disturbing amount of muscle comes with it. If this diet gets people out of danger territory wieghtwise...and they stick to it,..then it's worth it.

Also the low-carb diet is the original human eating pattern. Before agriculture and granaries what do you think most people ate?
Meat, Fish and water -- with a small amount of fruits and veggies if you could find them and if they were in season.
And the average person does get far too many carbs, unless you exercise you should keep the carbs down.

You say grind the white rice for better gains? I have to say I don't understand that one. Gains as in muscle gains?

brushfour 2 years ago
Carbs do not cause hunger. Some refined/ simple carbs can to a degree spike insulin which can then result some hours later lower blood sugar. THAT is what causes unnatural hunger cravings. White flour, white rice, sugary sweetend carbs and even juicing..with all the bulk and fiber of the fruit and veggies removed can spike insulin causing this type of hunger. Eat NATURAL carbs! Red potatoes, natural fiber breads, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, brown rice, they'll fill you up for less cals.

If the idea is to eat less calories, you want to severely cut down the carb cravings. Eating a high-carb diet will make you hungry all day long.

I think it's more important to keep your insulin/blood glucose levels on a relatively even keel all day. But to "flatline" the whole thing is a bit extreme. If enough carbs are not present you will consume muscle. You need some carbs to burn fat. I don't know if 50g per day of carbs is enough? On this site is THE FIRST TIME, I've ever heard someone mention that 1/3 to 1/2 of all weight lost on Atkins is muscle. I still have my diet/training journal from 98'. THAT IS excatly what happened to me.

Yes! Very low carb diets usually produce a 1 to1 loss ratio. 1 pound of fat to 1 pound of muscle!
BodyPerformanceTV 2 years ago
After weaning off carbs, your brain can fuel itself with ketones and many think that ketones were the original fuel, with carbs as an accessory method.
But your blood insulin levels go up with a high carb, but not high fat diet, and when insulin is high, then you can't burn fat or build muscle. So it makes sense to eat metabolically.

That's true. I was on one for 14 months back in 98'. It's an odd diet. I remember buying tic-tacs because of bad breath. Experienced mental fatigue from time to time. Usually I was O.K. though. As long as I kept my shirt on,..you couldn't tell how "skinny-fat" it was making me. But just walking around from day to day and looking in the mirror, I actually looked healthy and not too bad. I believe there are some benefits to skin, nails, hair ect. from high protein and fat. (maybe all the eggs?).

Stay on it and keep losing. But, be ware, you are going to lose muscle. If I were you, I'd get my weight down, continue strength training as I hope you're doing, and then when your weight gets low, switch back to a healthier diet.

Was lifting heavy and hard back in 1998-1999 as I am today. I remember being stunned that will all the protein I was taking in, I was losing strength on all lifts. I was LOSING muscle. I was dehydrated and lost quite a bit of water weight. I believe I was in a state of Ketosis. When this happens, you're appetite becomes supressed (I believe). Some days I ate too few calories. I remember losing 45 lbs on low carb and being stunned how smooth I was after all that weight loss. Don't go low carb!

Say NO to low carb diets. Low carb diets have now been debunked. Thankfully fewer people are going on them. I was on one for 14 months over a decade ago. Tried it for 6 weeks back in 1992 when they were first coming out. All the ways we've come with diet and nutrition research and new types of foods and Organic and everything else under the sun, and it finally comes down to what it was at the beginning;.." Calories IN,...Calories OUT! " I'm glad I tried low carb so I can speak from experience.

Everything you say in this video is a myth that has been debunked by numerous studies. After watching a few of your videos, it seems that you get your info from muscle mags instead of actual studies. Read The Anabolic diet by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale.

Low carb diets are great and work and once you get down you can start to incorporate carbs back into your diet in moderation and enjoy that bread and pasta to some extent.
poolboyinla 2 years ago
the brain is fuelled by carbohydrates in the presence of lots of carbohydrates. Ketones are the preferred source of fuel for the brain, which come after your body has metabolically switched to burning fat as a primary source. And as far as not eating pasta and bread etc...uh, who gives a fuck? Eating whole real foods like steak, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, cheese and vegetables is far more satisfying. (I'm open to debate though)

Damn you are stubborn, you absolutely refuse to take into account finer details of the facts you're talking about. Many lies can be true by omission, and that's the case here. Calories in..calories out...that's so 80's, but back then we had 10% of the information we have now. There are hundreds of books and studies done since then, maybe you should get your facts straight a little
BurnElectric 2 years ago 2
The main problem is he implies with Atkins you have to go almost no carb the rest of your life, and that's simply not the case. You can up your carbs to decent level when you get closer or at the weight you wanna be, you by no means have to go thru life without breads or pasta.

My mom is starting a low carb diet called, the Sugar Busters diet, and after looking at the food list, I could see that it actually encourages you to eat foods with artificial sweeteners, and to stay away from sugar and honey. Oh well, I bought two 50ct. boxes of Stevia from the store today.

It must be quite hard for the ego to have everything we say contredict by everybody's own experience. How do you think anyone will believe this?
Once on a low carb diet, the body needs about 40gram of glucose a day. That easily is being reached trough vegetables, berries, glycerol from meat, and neoglucogenese. You arguments are just so lame. So lame. Stop whinning. Why we'd NEED to consume stuff that are bad for us? reeducate your self, and learn to live without it!

You assume every low carb diet is low calorie. This is not the case. This is where everything breaks down. I am on a low carb diet, not a no carb diet. I get enough carns, I eat pasta and bread when I need it or want it. I love oats with banana and honey the night before the morning gym session. I have a carb spike shake before the gym.
Do more exercise, eat in a controlled manner, reduce and don't eliminate the carbs and all will be well.
Low carbs work, no carbs doesn't.

Doing Low carb doesn't mean no carb. People want to look at the strictist forms of an Atkins style diet and renounce the whole thing. If a person reduces the simple carbs....the white flower, the sugar and focuses on good carbs they will do fine. Low carb isn't the problem it's the american diet and similar eating habits. Low carb isn't no carb. Doesn't have to be. Taubes got it right and atleast shed some light in the right direction.

You Sir are quite correct. The video poster I believe does not fully understand the discussion and is making the assumption of low carb = no carb. It is a shame as people will listen to him.

Actually he understands how to lose weight perfectly. You could eat carbs ALL DAY LONG and still lose weight as long as you're taking in less calories than your are burning. Carbs, Fat, Protein... it DOESN'T matter. TOTAL Calories are all that matters.

You do not understand what you are talking about. A calorie deficit will yes see weight loss. However a restructuring of macronutrient makeup will change the bodies actions. But you do not understand that and it is easier to repeat the mantra... calorie deficit is all it takes. It works but it is not the whole story. I suspect you will never understand the whole story.

The first few weeks are hell but once you start burning KEYTONES for energy your carb cravings go away. In fact you actually lose all desire for bread and pasta. That and they taste disgusting so you don't want them anymore. I went back to low carbs 3 weeks ago and Im down 12 lbs and also I have built a good amount of muscle. For me it works!

1) Carbs are needed to effectively burn fats completely. This occurs in the cells. Krebs or Citric Acid cycle 2) Sugars don't spike blood sugar as much as people think. Pure table sugar is 50% fructose which is absorbed slowly by the in intestines & THEN broken down my the liver. 3) Too much of anything will make people fat 4) Just eating protein will not cause muscle growth. You must be lifting too. 5) People who gain weight from eating "nothing" are always over eating something at sometime.

I live with somebody who only eats toast and crumpets for years ..maybe 6 a day and she got fat... actully obese ... I'm on a high protein / low carb diet and gaining lean muscle and losing FAT. Carbs turn to sugar which spikes insulin which stops your body from using your fat as energy. It's a survival mechanism. If u contantly spike your insulin you are constantly storing fat for when u MAY need it .Which will be never if you keep eating carbs. I know Steve's an expert but I cant C th logic.
petestrat07 2 years ago
Never been in ketosis. Gave up bread, pasta, rice and white potatoes two years ago, haven't suffered one day. You can actually eat mostly vegetables and some fruit on a low carb diet if you do it right. Counting calories? Now that's a horrible way to live.

steve steve steve we know that fat is caused by lipogenic is the conversion to carbohydrates into fat so when you lower your carbs your not storing fat and by creating a calorie deficit as well you will loose bodyfat throw a bit of carb cycling into the mix and there you have a fat burning stage to go down to verylow bodyfat percentage

p.s excess sugar turns into fat and all carbs whole grain or not eventually break down into sugar. fat also doesnt raise insulin thus not promoting fat storage.

I'd also like to point out the hormonal imbalances that occur whilst on very low carb diets. When blood sugar is low the body releases cortisol to stimulate gluconeogenesis to make more glucose available for fuel. Elevated cortisol levels can be destructive in the long term, as it is a stress hormone and a catabolic hormone eating away at the muscles which may explain the huge weight loss people see. It damages bones, organs, brain cells etc Eat a balanced diet to keep your hormones balanced

But to each there own, some people are insulin sensitive and need to reduce carbs. Diets are just like anything else in life let your individual results dictate what you do.

monarofreak 3 years ago
The authour is absolutley right. At the end of the day it's always going to be calories in vs calories out no matter what type of diet your on. I always favour balance instead of extremes. Balanced diet being 40 - 50% carbs, 30-40% protein, 20 - 30% fat. Being on a very low carb diet is an stupid as being on an extremly high carb diet. Balance is always the key. Our bodies run on glucose for a reason.

What I hear from most people who say that low-carb diets don't work is that we should have grains every day. Some people have a body that does not respond well to such food. It makes them fat.

Gee, what did our ancestors do 100,000+ years ago? Eat rice and yams all day and surgically take the fat out of the food they killed and count their calories? No. They ate fat and protein in abundance and obviously did not die of heart attacks proving your idiotic teachings, incorrect. I hate people who advocate high carb diets and look down on anything else. You can in fact eat all the fat and protein you want b/c the human body is evolved to process those for energy, and it keeps insulin low.

Exactly. I truly believe that you should tailor your diet to your own body. You have to experiment day after day with different combinaisons of food. A diary journal is essential so you can analyse the data later on. In my case, I write down everything I eat, the number of fibers, the number of calories.
MisterQuebec 3 years ago
The science doesn't make sense because you don't know why the body burns fat stored when you eat lots of fat? Dude, don't worry about it, you don't look like much of a scientist to me! It has taken 100,000 years of evolution for our species to exist today and eating a high carb diet just throws the system out of wack. Everyone has a different carb threshold where this becomes a problem.

monarofreak 3 years ago
Yes in deed. You obviously have to eat less calories than you burn in a day but if you eat too little calories and very little protein you lose more musclemass than fat. I wrote this to another video but you need carbs before you workout with weights and before you do high intensive cardio. It´s more important to check how much bodyfat you have lost than how much weight that you have lost.

Forti-"Guyton,Textbook of Medical Physiology- calorie expenditures of activities:
Activity/Calories per hour
Rapid typing 140
Carpentry, industrial painting 240
exercise 290
Severe exercise 450
Very severe exercise 600
If otherwise normal activity is typing, the increase in activity for very severe exercise is 600 - 140 = 460 Calories/hour. Animal "fat" has ~3500 Calories/pound, so exercise "very severely" for 3500/460 = 7.608 hours to burn 1 pound fat. No wonder so many are fat.
crisology 3 years ago
Does that take into account the after burn effect exercise has?? Also have a calorie deficit in your diet of about 200 calories. Combine that with your severe exercise = 660 calories. Say you wanna do cardio 5 times a week thats a calorie deficit of 3300 that you have created and lose a pound a fat a week.
Weight doesn't matter body composition matters. You can find out how many pounds of fat you need to lose by having your body comp tested.
monarofreak 3 years ago
correction
Have a diet that has about 250 calories in a calorie deficit and exercise for an hour for 5days a week. thats 250 + 290 = 540 calories a day. Thats 2700 for the 5 days that you exercise plus that with the 500 calories a day you save through diet on your days off is 3200 a week. So nearly a Pound of FAT a week, not weight but fat. And thats all that matters.
monarofreak 3 years ago
"Does that take into account the after burn effect exercise has?"
It doesn't take into account meals or metabolism afterward, it takes into account >7 hrs of severe exercise is required to burn 1 lb animal fat. Or u can run 43 miles b4 the next meal.
"have a calorie deficit in your diet of about 200 calories"
Calories are 1 index of measuring energy/guidelines. Weight of food is another. Where are u coming up w/200 calorie deficit? Are u suggesting the avg calorie intake should be 3700/day?
crisology 3 years ago
lol no u missed the point i was making. My idea of the best nutrition is to feed the muscle and burn the fat off through exercise. Going by the guidelines you gave me 1 hour of normal exercise burns 290 calories so take that away from 500 calories thats 210 calories. Your diet creates a deficit of 210 calories and you burn off 290 calories a day for a grand total of 500 caolires a day deficit. 500 times 7 is 3500 so theoretically you burn of a pound of fat a week.
