@shimabuco Calories in calories out is just a model, it doesn't address the right kind of foods...just weight loss. It cannot be questioned, it is just the way the universe works. Retards have tried questioning the laws of physics when it comes to dieting and have failed miserably.

@theUSER101 the "calories in, calories out" model can be questioned if fails to explains all cases. Yes, people who uses more energy than they eat will lose weight, but what about the people who gets less energy out than in but still loses weight. We all see that on people who go into the atkins like diet. If a model fails to explains all cases, considering diseases and all, then it's not a good model.

TV people, like politicians, have agendas, they will always skewer things and get paid to do so.

@MichaelnChristine Preexisting conditions are very complicated things, however, the same laws of psychics apply to even them. I'm not saying that a high carb diet is good, in fact I put my own clients on atkins style diets. However calories in, calories out is a model that cannot be questioned. We have so much science showing it to be true aside from the law of physics. I'm not saying calories in, calories out is a good model to advocate....it's the truth however...but slightly more complicated

@theUSER101 Ok I'll jump in. If someone has insulin resistance and eats exactly 2000kcal of calories a day with 60% carb vs 60% fat...on which of those diets will he/she lose the most weight and see the greatest benefit to health? Isn't it true that a Type II diabetic with high insulin levels will store fat while the rest of their tissues atrophy and starve? That their muscle will actually waste....?

[theUSER101]

@bobdylan4evr LOL you just fail to look or care about the "sciense" at the end of the day I have PubMed, JISSN, Harvard, Stanford etc etc on my side and I can show the evidence. hhaa thats all that matters.

[theUSER101]

@bobdylan4evr You are seriously so uneducated I can barley talk to you. I'm about to PM you Harvard articles and studies so that you can read the facts. You still havent answered? Are you implying that Harvard etc are wrong? WTF are you talking about these studies are flawless and have been peer reviewed by the scientific community. Haha you are such a quack. Calories are all that matters when it comes to weight loss or gain...FACT

[bobdylan4evr]

@theUSER101 are you implying that someone who has their calories forcefully restriced would eat more than someone who eats freely? thats preposterous. an amateur like you cannot possibly comprehend the power of sciense!

[bobdylan4evr]

@bobdylan4evr furthermore you have contradicted yourself several times. You said a bodybuilder couldnt gain lean muscle by eating 6000 calories worth of snickers. Yet you say all calories are used the same in the body and all macronutrients are the same. You also say that non calorie restriced low carbohydrate diets outperformed caloie restricted diets because the low carbers consumed less calories. Failing to realize the opposite group is on a low calorie diet

[bobdylan4evr]

@theUSER101 i really have no idea what your talking about. your views seem to exclude almost everything people know about the body and nutrition like hormones and the glycemic which are not controversial. yes the laws of physics always apply nobody has said otherwise you dont understand that energy can be stored or used and depending on where you get that energy it is stored or used.
