The biggest downfall is that a lot of foods are very calories dense, so you genuinly are eating small portions and feeling hungry, but are still eating in a surplus

Exactly! It doesn’t “feel” like you’re eating a lot because volume wise, you’re not. But calorie dense foods add up so so fast

[@Incomudro1963]

Most real food is not calorically dense.

[@justincain2702]

@@Incomudro1963 Most are more dense than they used to be. For example meats are becoming fattier in general as animals are raised and bred for better marbling, and fruits contain higher sugar concentrations compared to fiber. You are correct though that this isn't the core of the problem. Most people just end up eating more ultra-processed food where this problem is magnified.

My freshman year college roommate was struggling with her weight so she would buy a pallet of slim fast drinks every week or two. She would drink them with every meal and snack- she believed that the slim fast was like, subtracting calories from her food. I tried to explain that it was a meal *replacement* and not a meal *supplement*. She didn't buy it and continued to drink her slim fast with every meal and snack. 😭They made a ton of money off her while she watched her weight go up. People really aren't educated about nutrition!

With Murray, everything clicked when they said he was an ex-marathoner. The diets of regular marathon runners can get INSANE, largely because they need and INSANE amount of calories during training. The cereal was likely his pre-race/training meal, and he didn't think to adjust when he stopped running as much. Basically, imagine if Michael Phelps retired but didn't change his diet.

[@hornetguy9063]

Yup. I know right now, at probably around 20% BF, I can be lower calorie (which at 185 lbs for a man is still around 2400) and marathon train, as long as the training HR is around 125 and not challenging. Because my body will just use fat. But weirdly, the more weight I lose, the more I’ll have to eat

This relates back to my theory on one of the reasons why so many Australians are overweight (I live in Australia): there’s a huge (actually too big IMO) emphasis on physical activity during childhood, but very few people can maintain such an intensity and frequency once they’re adults, with work (unless it’s physical work), family duties etc. And undoing the eating habits of your childhood can be really challenging.

When Mexico implemented the Chilean “warning label” system for processed food (instead of just nutrition info on the back, they put a black stamp on the front of the product saying: excess calories, excess sugar, etc) people where shocked to find out special K and all-bran cereals had the “excess sugar” and “excess calories” stamps, some brands even reformulated their products to avoid the dreaded stamps so, I agree education is essential.

I always have half and half and sugar in my coffee but I reserve having a coffee with syrup as a treat, I have not had any issue with my weight; I usually make my coffee at home including instant coffee, and because I have a bladder condition that means I can only have one coffee a day unless I want to torture myself. Same condition means I can't have artificial sugar or have coffee-milkshake with a concentrate or espresso (iced latte or frozen mocha).

Serious studies involve the patient being hospitalised for a set amount of time. But pilote studies could be done based on food questions.

As He grew older, His appetite was still enormous. Like Murray, He was consuming over 5000cal./day well into his 70's, when He was living a far more sedintary lifestyle for almost a decade when he retired. He absolutely HATED the feeling of hunger. And hated seeing leftovers in the fridge, so even if he felt full, he'd still force himself to finish everything on the table. Which was an issue b/c we always served our dinners family style. And when He inevetibly became diabetic, He was so angry that he couldn't eat his favorite snacks. Seeing him suffer with his weight was heartbreaking, & frustrating b/c he was so stubborn & set in his ways. He hated the smaller portion sizes I served him when we stopped serving dinner family style. And despite stern warnings from the Drs., He was always sneaking snacks & booze.

I had a roommate that would swear on her life that she “pretty much” counted every calorie. She’s take notes of every bite that she ate and show me how she was actually having a hard time getting enough calories and only eating 800-850 calories a day and wondered if that was the problem. However, we would spend entire days together and the list of food she ate blindly was just endless (and when I called her on it, she swore it was rare and couldn’t amount to much more than 50 extra calories….). We’d pick a bag full of oranges and when we couldn’t eat anymore, we’d make a little orange juice with the rest and drink it right on the spot. I lost count on how many times she’d grab “just one Oreo” throughout the day. Sure, the veggies are healthy, and the oil is too…but at 100 cal a Tblsp, she’d pour oil and never counted it. We both loved hot chocolate, and made it with whole milk and whipped cream. She’d also use whipped cream in her coffee and teas. And she’d say that when you’re craving chocolate, you can save a lot of calories by just grabbing a handful from the chip bag instead of buying a whole candy bar. Add to this the marinades/sauces, and the butter she’d use on eggs and mashed potatoes, and she’d insist that because salad is healthy, “there’s no need to measure the dressing, you just have to be careful about it”. She loved a coup,e glasses of wine a day. Popcorn is very healthy, esp if you pop it yourself, because then you can control the butter! Listen, if you struggle with your weight and aren’t measuring or weighing your foods to get realistic calories counts, then you aren’t controlling anything. This is no judgement on her…I ate as much as her and we both struggled with our weight, but there was no question for me…I always knew why I was overweight, while she seemed sincerely mystified as she clung to her belief that she ate 800 calories a day.

You don't have to think carbs are the devil to think that humans are better adapted to processing fat than carbs. Further, if you like any kind of typical fatty cream in your coffee, heavy cream is at least the better choice because of the lower calorie due to complete lack of sugar. If you want it sweetened, add an alternative low-calorie natural sugar, or perhaps a small amount of honey if you're not a fan of those. Low carb diets are one of the best ways to fight diabetes, and heavy cream can help with that, so don't knock it. What I don't get is why carnivores will add butter to their coffee (probably shouldn't be drinking coffee on that diet anyway, but whatever...) instead of heavy cream, which tastes much better.

@@WhatIsMisophonia But notice this couple didn’t say “I lack knowledge” they said “we actually talk a lot about health” or something to that effect, essentially they *thought* they knew about a healthy diet, and that’s the case for most people, they think they know, or at least know enough, and that’s what impedes them of digging deeper, the thing about ignorance is that you don’t know you are ignorant, until you are proven otherwise, I’m actually the type who seeks answers online, and even with me a lot of valuable things I have learned I stumbled onto them, we don’t know what we don’t know. Plus, we are talking about nutrition, one of the most muddled topics online, you said it yourself, there are contracting opinions, with different people in different walks of life championing different diets, promoting and shunning different things, the information is not so clear cut. So don’t you think you are maybe judging too soon?

[@WhatIsMisophonia]

@@EmyN It's because of all the confusion that I know I have to dig deeper. People want to be part of a collective band wagon, and they want easy answers with as much convenience as possible. Deep down, I think these people know that they didn't really know, they just didn't care enough until it was shoved in their faces. I just wish people's complacency and excuses didn't screw over the whole of society. Yes, I don't actually blame them for being who they are; I don't believe in "free will" in the traditional sense. We can alter our opinions and feelings, but only within the narrow framework allowed by our physical brain and individual genetics. That's why we'll always be different people, reacting to things in different ways, even if we had the exact same experiences. I may not blame them per se, but they do still represent a great weakness in humanity that it would be nice if we could fix. The greedy people who poisoned the food supply bear responsibility, but people reeeeally need to take more responsibility for their health.

I used to be a Gym instructor/Personal Trainer and it was ALWAYS upon further investigation into diet with journaling and other methods that the people who would say "I eat healthy" really discovered that yes they were indeed not eating healthily or at least eating far more than they thought (or wanted me to believe). Even then when the truth would start to reveal itself they often didn't want to reveal the full extent of their diets and lifestyle. It always had to be something other than their diet that was causing their weight woes. I was not there to judge them, but I guess they felt like they were being judged if they were honest. If they were just honest with me (and to themselves) from the very beginning then it would have cut out a lot of unnecessary time and effort.

I think too it wasn’t just food culture that helped keep people thin in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but people didn’t live in such a car centered world. Look at the old towns in eastern US and homes maybe had 1 car garage and were a lot closer together allowing more walkability. Also, most homes didn’t even have air conditioning. I forget where I read about how much your body burns calories just by being warm and your body trying to cool itself off. Nowadays, no body sweats in their air conditioned, isolated McMansions. I think it was definitely a combo of food culture and a more condensed, walkable housing culture that allowed people to basically eat what they wanted.

A lot of people do not understand calory density. You can eat very little and still easily go over your daily calories. The foods that make that possible are foods with a high calory density i.e. things that do not have a lot of volume, but have a lot of calories. Those are mostly dehydrated foods i.e. foods that do not contain a lot of water. You also need to understand carbohydrates, protein and oils/fat. Fat has by far the highest calory density by mass. Whereas sugar has a calory density of about 1500kJ, fat has a calory density of 3000 to 4000kJ. So fat really increases the calories of your food by a lot. Examples of foods with a high calory density are chocolate bars and chips. Both have almost zero water in it and both have a lot of fat. So it looks like you didn't eat that much, but in reality you've just eater the calory equivalent of what you should be eatin in one meal of your three daily meals. Most bags of chips are about 200g. If you eat the whole thing, you've eaten the calories of 2 meals. 150g of chocolate is also already more then a meal. Pizza is also quite bad. I've never found a pizza that does not have significantly more calories then what one should be eating in one meal. Mars bars are also quite deceptive. A mars bar already has about the calories of half a meal. So if you feel like you don't eat that much, but you keep gaining weight then you're likely eating food with a high calory density (high in fat and low in water content). So it's very important to understand how many calories you should be consuming (depending on your weight, age and livestyle) and how many calories you can have per meal. At the beginning it's also important to write down EVERYTHING you eat and calculate your daily caloric intake to get a feel for the amount of calories in different foods - it's often very coutnerintuitive.

He turned 60 this year- about 10 years ago he lost almost 100 lbs and he has mostly kept it off, he has no mobility issues and is in excellent shape- he works as a prison guard and is part of the special response teams so he has to be agile and fit. It’s inspiring to know that in 30 years that level of fitness could be possible for me, too.

I loved Secret Eaters and binged them all a few summers ago! They're so eye opening to our own unconscious habits!

Just got to the clip showing mayo and in my room just shouting justice for Dawn 😅

So true! At age 67 next week, I've dropped from 380# to 210# in the last 2 years; my goal is 190#. I've changed my diet to reduce "white food" (bread, rice, potatoes, noodles) and fried food to a minimum, and have added a lot of vegetables, fruit and clear soups,. I keep fruit/veggies/protein in my office refrigerator so I can eat low-calorie foods at lunch and not skip lunch or buy fast food. I've been using the NOOM app for the last 8 months to track everything I eat, which is a great assist in avoiding high-calorie foods and large portions. The NOOM app costs $100 for 6 months, and I save that every 10 days of not eating fast food. It's a commitment and a lifestyle change, for sure.

Not a fan of 2000s diet shows but I actually do think this one has a very helpful message! Not just for eating but life in general: in order to change a situation, we must first accept it. P.s. what makeup do you use on your lips? Gorgeous😍

What the cereal kind of illustrates is that a lot of people think about diet in an almost symbolic sense. In their eyes, a healthy diet is entirely about eating iconically healthy things.
