If Thomas DeLauer is an expert at anything it's stringing together a bunch of words that make him sound smart to the average person when in reality he can't even grasp the most basic nutritional concepts.

[@everready2903]

Hi Sean, I'm subbed to you both. But yeah Thomas can blind us with science and bodily chemicals we've never heard of but I always recommend real world experience. ie: viewers should experiment with their diet to find what works for them. As for me I do IF (2 meals a day max) because it helps more with my hunger/appetite rather eating little and often and I have a ton of fruit and veg each day. I've leaned out very well doing this. Proof positive that not everything you read or see it necessary for fat loss.

[@Madbiochemist16]

Yes Sean! Loved your latest video too btw. You guys need to destroy Chiropractor Quack Berg and Thomas "teleprompter" Delauer more often.

Yeah I’ve seen people do Keto cause they thought they can eat however much protein and fat they want and still lose weight. They just ended up getting fat. No matter what kinda diet you’re on you still gotta be aware of your intake (ie tracking macros/calories).

[@kamo7293]

cause at the end of the day if you eat more calories than you expend youll gain weight. also ezekiel bread? whats that

[@Magic_beans_]

@@kamo7293 “Ezekiel 4:9” is a brand of bread made from a variety of sprouted grains and legumes (the name refers to a Bible verse where they talk about making bread.) One of its most noticeable quirks is that it has to be kept frozen because otherwise it goes bad within a few days. Ezekiel bread does have its benefits: the combination of grains and legumes provides a more complete protein than regular wheat flour breads, and it’s a good source of several micronutrients. As often happens though, fans crank the claims up to the extreme, like if you’re going to have bread it *must* be this kind or you should just start digging your grave now.

[@noblefitness8330]

Hi Layne, would be really interested if you did a video on protein over feeding and its effect on fat loss, seen a few studies but not enough to show that there is any truth behind it. Someone as educated as yourself would be able to really explain the mechanics of proteins conversion into stored fatty acids!

[@gabriellambirth8448]

So If my maintenance calories are 2100 per day, I could eat 2100 calories of pure sugar only, nothing else, every day for the next 6 months and have no change in body weight or body composition? ......... I would love an answer to this because I’m almost %1000000 sure 2100 calories of Chicken, Fish and Vegetables, even when balanced out with energy expenditure (so adding more meals if necessary to be equivalent to to the absorption rate of 2100 Cals of sugar) would yield far different results.

It still makes sense to go by calories in vs out. If you eat the processed sandwich, your calorie count is just slightly lower. It also is negligible. People aren’t good at tracking their calories within that small of a range anyway.

[@True38]

As a rule of thumb, yes it is calories in vs out that counts in terms of weight loss BUT there is always some food that is healthier than others that will overall affect your desired outcome. It's not black and white, there are grey areas.

I like to think of CICO as a gas tank on a car; If you drive 10 miles everyday to and from work and fill up your "gas tank" with just enough to cover that distance the "gas tank" will never go up or down but if you put in enough gas to go 15 miles a day your gas tank will eventually overflow and if you put only enough gas to go 5 miles it will eventually be empty.

[@cknackna8207]

Nah... The physiological burn energie (food energy) is not the same as the physical (Ws=J) or the measured ones with a Bomb calorimeter. The physiological burn energie datas (the ones printed on the labels) are over 100 years old measurements, done with pigs and humans, sealed in containers etc..etc... And for carbs they could have gigantic uncertainties. If you look at the label for beens...they don't distinguish if cooked or raw...or whether you have the right bacteria to help with digestion...

I LOVE your videos Layne. Your sarcasm is hilarious. Your knowledge and content are so helpful... thank you for everything you share.

[@danielnilsson22]

The utility of seeing weight loss as a CICO is the problem not that energy isn't going to matter. We simply can't reliably calculate how much energy expenditure we are having or the EFFECTIVE energy that we are consuming. You know for example that hormones like leptin and insulin have an impact on expenditure, so the main take-at-home message from people criticising the CICO method is that food QUALITY is the main thing not the amount of "CALORIES" on the nutritional label. I for example was fat eating around 2400 kcal at 235 pounds now I'm down to 190 pounds and eating 3-5 k kcal per day, but still losing fat since im not consuming carbs, also my activity level is the same.

[@AZWings]

So, not necessarily what DeLauer was talking about, but isn't the steel man argument about calories really about how the body reacts to the macronutrients? Satiety, etc? To be clear, I am in agreement that a calorie is a calorie, but isn't a better argument that macronutrients are not equal?

[@wellnesspathforme6236]

Yes, that's the argument when properly formulated. For some reason, this is hard to formulate and, apparently, hard to explain. BioLayne explains it correctly here if you pay attention to what he says. No calories are lost to the ether after being eaten. Some calorie sources and amounts increase insulin excessively in some people, which results in eventual lowered blood glucose (insulin can persist), and drives hunger in some people. When this occurs, the insulin also makes it harder to utilize fat as energy, so the double-whammy is that one's energy level takes a hit, too. Excess insulin, plus increased fat storage (insulin removes the glucose by eventually storing it as fat (if the muscles and organ(s) -- can't recall which one -- are topped off), plus more difficult access to fat for energy (body in glucose reduction mode), means one has to fight much harder to exercise more and eat less. Dr. Barry Sears, PhD put forth this argument in his many Zone Diet books. An added bonus to keeping insulin low is that it also reduces the level of systemic inflammation. IIRC Dr. Seat's argument correctly, elevated insulin tend to trigger elevated delta-5-desaturase which, in turn results in an increased production of pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA), especially if eicopentaenoic acid (EPA) is relatively low. Now, all this assumes that the magnesium and bio-copper status of your mitochondria are not sufficiently compromised as to effectively disable them. Once that happens, well, lots of things break down as the body triages the situation. The go-to guy on this issue is Morley Robbins. The key players are depleted magnesium, depleted retinol, depleted copper(+1), depleted ceruloplasmin-bound copper, excessive toxic levels of carcinogenic fortified iron, and excessive ceruloplasmin-unbound copper.

[@fwabble]

A calorie is not a calorie lmfao the profound effect different foods have on hormones and gut microbiome anyone claiming a calorie is a calorie is an UTTER embarrassment and a CON ARTIST (saying what people want to hear for subs/views/likes) Biolayne is a MORON.

There is only calories in because it's what is given off when food is burned with a flame, we don't know how to measure what our body does with that food. Calories are the simplest and best measurement tool we have right now

[@rogerzachariades5337]

I dont think i agree with thomas either. So what causes higher thermogenic effect in whole foods ? I am just thinking if maybe fiber requires more energy to be broken down. Less processed foods are more likely to have more fiber in them thus they have a higher thermogenic effect. Maybe fiber digestion requires those extra calories for the creation of the appropriate enzymes. Also, we know that protein has a higher thermogenic effect and more whole foods tend to have more protein as well so maybe that might contribute to this effect. (Just claims i am just thinking out loud)

The reason why Thomas is so nice to you, Layne, is because of the fight flight or make friends response. Someone clearly more knowledgeable, AND potentially hostile illicits this response. You could lose in a fight, you won't gain anything from running, but making friends could validate your own stance. His facial and body language is (mostly) congruent with what he says, so he's either a really good actor, or he's really uneducated. Either way, he's not stupid. He's particular in his responses to others. And, he wouldn't be successful if he was stupid. I think he knows that he preys on the naivety of others.

This is all clear, conservation of energy and metabolic adaptation. But what if some part of nutrition therefore that part of energy doesn't get absorbed. Like insoluble fiber and too much fat that has a laxative effect. Keto: 1. Fat gets absorbed and used way more gardually than carbs, insulin doesn't increase that much so you get satiated for a longer time and you get more stable energy. 2. Part of fat doesn't get absorbed cause of fiber or it comes out as a laxative. So on keto you basically get into a caloric deficit without realizing it.

When people talk about "a calorie is not a calorie" they are really referring to the different sources of calories having different effects just as you explained. They are not saying the calories are not equivalent in energy. I don't think there is really disagreement. They are just using simpler phrasing to make a catchy title. It would be madness to say eating protein calories causes the same metabolic response as eating sugar calories. They are equivalent energy but sugar has radically different metabolic effects compared to protein.
