I don’t think he’s saying that decreasing calories won’t help you lose weight. I think he’s saying counting calories is a bandaid, for a problem that could be solved a better way. 100 calories of refined sugar is way worse than 100 calories of protein.

Thats technically what he is saying but he is expressing a huge dissapointment in calorie-counting and says to fire anyone using the term lol. So yea he couldve stated it better instead of chasing clicks or forcing his worldview.

[@thisguy6817]

@@xd-bt3xs well it’s kind of like using grams as a metric to diet, decreasing the weight would probably decrease body weight. Now if you go from only eating 2-3 pounds of meat to eating 1 pound of sugar then you’re probably not gonna lose weight. Even though it could be a useful metric it still isn’t a comprehensive metric that truly aids in getting fit/losing weight

@@thisguy6817 If you start eating better and train, these two things alone can have a massive impact on insulin. So is it really the insulin that should be the main focus or isnt it just all connected?

[@JoshuaEvansVoltaDesign]

5:37 "Get the insulin down". People (even in these comments) still push "Calories in, Calories out" or say 600 calories of pizza is equal to 600 calories of raw food - which never made sense to me. But this recommendation to reduce insulin makes perfect sense. It's not that reducing calories won't make you lose weight, the point is that calorie focus is too flawed. Instead, a focus on insulin is the correct and more effective approach to lose weight, or avoid weight gain.

The fructose story I had heard before was that it is converted directly into fat and so is only indirectly available as energy. This is the first I have heard about it blocking mitochondrial function. Robert Lustig is passionate about these concerns and very convincing, thanks for the helpful excerpt!😊

[@888jucu]

When eaten in moderation the fructose we eat is mostly converted to glucose in the small intestine and enters the blood stream as such. When we overwhelm our intestines ability to convert the fructose to glucose then fructose will be processed in the liver to either glucose or fat depending on what energy needs the body is currently facing. Fructose in excess is a problem but that is true for glucose, fat, salt and even water so sensible discussion are better than Lustigs attention grabbing fear mongering statement to draw attention to himself

Insulin doesn't play that big of a role. I wouldn't go days w/o eating too often. That sounds like a really bad idea. Whether you're counting calories now or not you're still eating at maintenance.

I don't know. I use calorie restriction on my dogs, myself, and my horses when we need to lose weight. I will cut maybe 1/8th of a cup/scoop (which isn't much at all) of food out of their diet consistently each day, they lose weight. I will cut my food intake back each day, and I lose weight. It works every time regardless of what I eat. So I wouldn't demonize calorie restriction as a tool for weight loss. I do agree that sugar should be avoided as much as possible. Obviously, if you choose whole foods over sugary processed junk, you can eat more volume. Also, it is more satiating than garbage food.

Well here is another but opposite extreme example: "vitamin D overdose" causes rapid weight loss despite of calories.

If we followed how we ate during winter we would be more healtier and only gain fat under skin againts winter. Like Inuit do. But switching to summer mode is not an easy issue... It seems we have to manage copper status in fact. And it could explain why we lost ability to produce vitamin C...

During winter there were no sugar, no any plant food. Fat under skin was life saving. And only food source were animals. Cortisol creates sugar from amino acids. Cortisol is not adapted to sugar intake. But there are many other factors too... Calorie deficiency is only an emergency situation what is handled by cortisol...

Fundamentally, if you consume less calories than your maintenance, you will lose weight. This of course goes in conjunction with eating healthier and more nutritious foods that are high volume, low calories and keep you satiated. Avoid calorie dense low volume foods that do not fill you up but significantly add to your caloric intake without realising. Track your food and macros, choose the healthier options and ease into a sustainable caloric defecit and you will lose weight. I started doing this in July weighing 104kg. Im now 76kg by doing all of the above. If you're consuming healthy but calorie dense foods i.e. potatos, rice, fruites and nuts and are going over your maintenance you will not lose weight... simple.

No! Calories by themselves have nothing to do with losing or gaining weight. They are the same only if you are going to literally burn them. People only lose weight restricting calories because they eat less carbohydrates in the process. That means they lower their insulin spikes, like it has been explained in this video. They are fattening calories like carbohydrates and non fattening like fat, beef, lettuce. I spent decades eating way more calories than I spent and never gained weight.

Appetite and mindless eating drives weight gain, your appetite is largely controlled by your genes, but food choices also affect it, mindless eating is easier to fix. New GLP-1 medicines reduce appetite, at least in the short term, but you still have to mindful of what you eat, but they are a great tool, if expensive, for those blessed with large appetite genetics.

Where is fructose found, fruits and where else?

[@craigbrison4241]

Table sugar. 1 part sucrose 1 part fructose.

[@theflipside966]

But ppl who restrict refined carbs for long periods ALSO yo-yo back once they start eating junk again…and trust me for most ppl who got to the point of being severely overweight, the urge to eat junk never goes away mo matter how good eating clean might make them feel. so its just as hard for them to sustain a no refined carbs life as it is to maintain a balanced low calorie diet. If they could easily control their 7:25 urges to eat highly palatable dopaminergic foods they wouldn’t be overweight to begin with!

[@lppbntso1]

People who lose weight by eating less calories do so only because they are eating less carbohydrates in the process. They are fattening foods like doughnuts and non fattening foods like lettuce or beef. they all have calories but have a different effect on the body.

1 gr of carbs = 4 calories 1 gr of proteins = 4 calories 1 gr of fat = 9 calories Simple math: 100 gr of sugar = 400 calories 100 gr of avocado = 900 calories. The question is: how on earth is 100 gr of sugar better than 100 gr of avocado? The answer is: calorie counting is BS!

I don't think there's any research that says any amount of fruit is bad for you (provided you brush your teeth enough). Fructose naturally from fruits doesn't have the same effect as artificially added fructose

The calorie is everything. You can't overcome thermodynamics. If you burn more than you eat you lose weight. Listen to bodybuilders and fighters, they understand how to lose weight.

[@MaBe_Music]

we don't burn we metabolize.

[@MrZola1234]

@mabe_productions semantics aside you cannot change calories in calories out... facts in isn't debatable. Argueing with the law of thermodynamics is like argueing against the law of gravity.

[@zperdek]

​​​@@MrZola1234We don't burn proteins. We don't burn fibers. Closest to burning (mitochondria making ATP) is our body using fats and glucose. Problem with glucose is that if you oversupply your body with it, it will switch into powersaving mode(high insulin and insulin resistance) which will make affected tissues sick a deteriorating and gaining fat in others. And calories burning will be slowed down. And if for example your brain develops insuline resistance you loose control. That's the reason for overeating. Brain will be slowly dying and developing dementia. At that stage your only option is to switch to other energy source like fats and ketones to heal insuline resistance.

[@MrZola1234]

@zperdek if you you want to lose weight, you have to eat less calories than you burn, period. There is no way around this.

[@zperdek]

@@MrZola1234 But only fat and sugars count as calories. If you cut fat you will destroy your hormones and ability to heal cell walls + brain is more than 30% fat and that needs recovery too. If you cut carb calories your body don't have to struggle with inflammation and don't have releasing insulin which would block healing and fat burning process.

I just don't listen to any nutrition podcast now and my stress is way better and I think that's the most important thing, then I eat what feels right to me and don't overthink it, so I eat a bit of everything and just try to avoid heavily processed food, that's all

[@psarakis340]

He's trying to pass a message but he's afraid to take it to the end... Of course sugar is the problem, but what do you mean "eat real food"? Bread? Pasta? Legumes? Fruits? All of those are full in sugar. The only way out is keto/carnivore diet.

[@dragosxtc1901]

08:35 food that came out of the ground and animals that eat the food that came out of the ground, it’s easy. Bread and pasta did not come out of the ground they are a result of processing. So go ahead eat keto or do a Paul Saladino diet where you add fruit and honey.

[@plato363]

He says a lot without saying anything. Losing weight is as easy as calories in less than calories out. People gain weight after caloric deficits not because of some insulin bs but because they believed they could return to past habits.
