Calories IN Calories OUT vs Intuitive Eating Why you may NEED BOTH

What are the right way and wrong way of walking?

[@highcarbregenerator]

Hard to explain, it is more of a visual thing

[@kristiwatson3497]

I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all the time you have put into your videos and research. ❤

[@highcarbregenerator]

You are so welcome

[@momcaregiver]

My thinking is the fat burning off has the toxins that the body has stored in it and that make sleep hard to get as they flow back through the system on the way to eliminate. Second thought is that once we are clean eating we just don`t need to sleep so long as the body has less work to do during those cleansing sleep hours. Glad you can walk pain free. I`m recently suffering from a foot injury and it sucks just like the last time I had an injury in about the same area :(

[@highcarbregenerator]

If you are getting injured in the same area then something is wrong with biomechanics most likely

[@minithlol]

Pls keep trying to figure this out.

[@neilvninja]

Nice observations - Jeremy England who used to be at MIT has a book about how systems in nature evolve towards being able to dissipate more heat

[@Itzbrady_]

Cico actually works pretty well if you are tryna lose some weight. Worked for me and my metabolism is still good

[@highcarbregenerator]

Yes, as stated I do believe it works at some level after the body starts regulating its hormones correctly. I have done cico and actually had it calculated professionally but it added weight to me. My hormones were very off at that time and my body was just hording.

[@Billy_Batson69]

How many calories do you roughly eat per day?

[@tropicaoptica]

Are you ADHD? I do this. I get hyperfocused and if its not a smoothie or juice or sugar water, seems like food just slows me down, or like if I eat a cooked meal, I just cant eat enough calories to really give me the go that I need and I end up hungry feeling again too soon and/or end up resorting to caffeine, so if i dont have fruit or juice or sugar water I just wont eat anything at all, which i know is wrecking my metabolism. I also find the less i eat, the less I actually get that hunger feeling. Its dangerous territory and im trying to get back on track.

[@highcarbregenerator]

It is almost disgusting how much I can relate to this statement haha minus the caffeine having energy isn't really ever an issue because I live on cortisol haha.

[@gspike7478]

Good stuff

Have you tried water-fasting? I'm talking a long one, like 20+ days. I've done 3-5 days multiple times. For longer ones, supervision is required. I'm going to try one at True North one day. It's not easy getting back the weight from a long water fast, especially on a low fat whole food vegan diet. A fast every couple of years makes sense to me.

[@nubiamorton1095]

@@jakejoyride i did 45, 30, and 21 day water fasts before, also 7 days dry fasting. I think water fasting is better than dry fasting, distilled water is the best water to drink during the fast, and i say go as long as you can, until you're worried for your life literally, and break you're fast with starch.

[@nubiamorton1095]

@@jakejoyride I agree spring water is best for normal drinking water. But for a water fast you want 100% pure H20, you want it to flush out everything.

[@jonathanr5184]

​@@nubiamorton1095Why on earth would you dry fast? If you go more than 2 days without water, you are gambling with your life. There is absolutely no benefit in being dehydrated.

[@nubiamorton1095]

@@jonathanr5184 the real reason I did it was because I kept hearing people insist that it was impossible for a human being to go more than 3 days without water, I thought no way that's true, I knew I wasn't that weak, and I wanted to prove it, so basically I took it on as a challenge.

[@jonathanr5184]

​@nubiamorton1095 it's possible but very dangerous

[@nubiamorton1095]

After about a month eating a strict high calorie, nearly fat free, low protein diet, I noticed my body was beginning to create a lot of excess heat for no reason. I didn't like the feeling, I thought it was because I was eating too many calories, so I switched to low calorie which worked, and it was surprisingly an easy switch at that point and I'm still on it. The high calorie diet I was eating, which did help get me to this point, was precisely: Breakfast - air fried frozen corn on the cob nothing added Snack - either yellow apple, tangerine, or grapes Lunch - baked whole sweet potatoes nothing added or removed Snack 2 - Small bowl of overnight oats, remember to prepare with breakfast. If I ever forgot them I ate shredded wheat cereal instead. Dinner - 1 of 3 options: spaghetti with side of garlic bread, pancakes with blackberries, or rice and beans

[@nubiamorton1095]

And I used to have to eat a lot before sleeping too, but that's not the case anymore. As long as there's a little bit of dinner still in me then I'll sleep fine. If not and my stomach is completely empty, then I'll just eat something small like a banana. On the rare nights I do struggle to sleep, sugar helps.

[@jonathanr5184]

For some reason, I feel better without oats right now, but I feel perfect with wheat, barley, and rye. Shredded wheat is much better than oatmeal in my opinion.

[@jonathanr5184]

Excess heat is great for me. I never feel too hot. I can only feel too cold. I hate air conditioning. I wish it was 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit every single day. I would choose 120 degrees over 50 degrees or lower if I had to make that choice.

[@nubiamorton1095]

@@jonathanr5184 I take advantage of the satiety effect of oats. I won't necessarily get full off of oats, unless I eat a lot of them, but they'll keep me from getting hungry again for hours even if I don't eat that much of them.

[@bitfinesse]

I only eat corn twice per month - on the cob, raw. When I start eating that raw corn, I can’t stop until I’m STUFFED. So twice per month I treat myself to ten or fifteen raw corns on the cob. It’s the best treat ever.

I really think you need to listen to jack kruse what he has to say is the missing piece you need!

[@dianabenjamin7837]

Look into jack kruse.

[@enough425]

How do you Know how many calories you’re supposed to be having and know that that’s accurate?

[@highcarbregenerator]

No one can really know but we can guestimate

[@bitfinesse]

If whole, natural foods allowed our ancestors to survive even when food was scarce, there must be enough calories in the fruit, beans, starches and vegetables to sustain us with ease. So it makes sense that we’re still going to be overweight with our ability to maintain a constant supply of fruit, beans, starches and vegetables. There are still quite a few calories in these whole foods. Eating less still has to be part of the equation. These foods brought our ancestors to where we are now even though food must’ve been relatively scarce. As much as I hate to admit it, it’s still very easy to get enough calories to maintain obesity on these foods. We must manufacture scarcity back into our lives. Since we’re not nearly as active as our ancestors were, we could probably get away with only eating five or six meals per week on these whole foods. The earth was too good to us. Less is more.

[@highcarbregenerator]

Less is more caused Minnesota starvation people to go crazy. our ancestors weren't working multiple stressful jobs to support themselves, we are more overworked now than we ever have been.

[@jonathanr5184]

Did you ever supplement with 1 million IU of Vitamin D3 in one day? If not, what's the most that you have ever supplemented with in one day?

[@jonathanr5184]

​@Foxredtreeclimb didn't you say that you were supplementing with 50,000 iu a day?

[@highcarbregenerator]

50,000 IU taking 25mg is actually hard to do these days because it is almost a bottle of d3

[@LouDez]

Counting calories is my preferred way. Intuitive eating doesn’t work for me because my genetics make me eat more than necessary. I lost the first 50 lbs with a low fat diet, but the last 50 to get really lean I had to count calories.

[@LouDez]

Still a lot of carbs and sugars and proteins to keep my metabolism and thyroid up.

[@jonathanr5184]

So you could easily eat 5000+ calories every day or 35,000+ calories every week on a high carb very low fat diet?

[@el_carbonara]

whatever you want to call it, the source of truth is the scale. scale doesnt drop = must not be in a deficit. How to get into enough of a deficit without going insane is the biggest question. That is why I am betting on big pharma to solve that for me when I can get my hands on it. there's more to life than struggling with being unfortunate and having a body that never wants to lose fat, honestly im just so sick of the struggle too

[@highcarbregenerator]

this statement is wrong, go watch kathleen stewart

[@Atheria444]

At 58 and someone who has been dieting (or binging) since I was 11, I've learned a lot. Calories do matter. Balance does matter. Extreme diets of any type end up causing problems. Keeping blood sugar stable is important. (Yes, blood sugar is supposed to go up a bit when you eat, but it shouldn't jump 150 points.) I have worn continuous glucose monitors that showed my body responds really bad to carbs without fats. When I'm eating low carb or low fat, I obsess about food. That is not healthy. Cutting calories too low is BAD. I'm not a volume eater. I'm more satiated with a good mix of protein, fats, and carbs...and naturally eat less. When I over restrict anything I gain weight. There is a reason why more and more people on KZbin are finding success with more balanced vegan diets, where they don't discount protein as unimportant. There are people (like Joey) who could NOT lose weight and get fit on a low protein, super high carb, low fat vegan diet, but by adding a bit more protein while watching calories, they are doing WAY better...losing weight, sleeping well, gaining muscle, etc.

[@Atheria444]

I do think that those of you who've lost hundreds of pounds have metabolisms that are unique. I think you should talk to Chuck Carroll from PCRM. He lost 100s of pounds and has maintained it long term. He may help you. Also, my sister and I have both noticed that if we eat more than 1-2 pieces of fruit a day, we gain weight. I'm guessing the fructose is a problem, but I don't know.

[@jonathanr5184]

You can eat super high carb low fat and eat 50-150 grams of protein a day. That is not extremely low protein.

[@Atheria444]

Not on the amount of calories I eat a day. I do not eat 5,000 calories a day. If I did, I agree, I would get plenty of protein. ​@@jonathanr5184

[@jonathanr5184]

​@@Atheria444I've never eaten 5000 calories in one day in my entire life. I average about 2500-3000 calories a day. 1 pound of beans is about 1500 calories with 100 grams of protein.
