The stupid is breeding faster than we can kill it 😑

Man I thought the myths, dogma, and bu****it were bad when I got into this industry 20 years ago, but it seems every year the bu****itters raise the bar by outbu****itting the previous years bu****it

I mean the 2000s might have argued about carbs vs fats, eating small meals to ‘stoke the metabolic furnace’ and talked dumb s**t about ‘clean’ eating (also fu***ng nonsense), blood type diets (the pinnacle of stupidity of the 2000s) and other dumb s**t but NO ONE questioned that vegetables & exercise were good for you

Enter the 2020s where plants are trying to poison you & vegetables make you fat & exercise doesn’t work. Also apparently diets are racist or engaging in dieting is racist, or privileged or something like that, I’m not sure, I can’t keep up with all the crazy 😫

Some of you wonder why I call out bu****it so much. Why don’t I “just focus on helping people.” Well, calling out bu****it helps a LOT of people. I know because thousands of you message me every week. Misinformation harms people. In the case of anti-diet extremists who say s**t like calorie deficits don’t work & dieting makes you fat & there is no personal responsibility to obesity, their intention is probably good which is to make people not feel guilty about how they look, but when you tell people nonsense about obesity having zero personal responsibility & that diets don’t work, the unintended consequence is that it also means that you have no power to change. If nothing is your responsibility then you also have no power 🤷🏼‍♂️. This leads people to feeling hopeless

In the case of fad diets like carnivore or dogmatic plant based, intermittent fasting, or keto zealots, the side effects are that people become scared to eat ANYTHING. Eating disorders & food anxiety are at an all time high. People are scared that if they eat a fu***ng Apple that their liver is going to get fat because some low carb moron told them that 😫

In fact, many people who attempt ultra restrictive diets end up binge eating on exactly the foods they are attempting to avoid!

I will NEVER stop calling out bu****it. What I do is necessary.

You do you 😊

Read closely.

1) I’m not saying peanuts are bad or unhealthy or shouldn’t be eaten.

I’m saying, per calorie, they do not have much protein.

So if you’re eating peanuts with the goal of radically increasing your protein intake...you’d be better off with another source of protein (meat, fish, yogurt, tofu, etc).

2) White rice isn’t bad for you. The dementors and death eaters and goblins and flesh eating slugs will want to kill me for saying this. But it’s true.

3) Egg yolks aren’t bad for you. They’re wicked nutrient dense and incredibly good for you.

If you’re going to say, “BuT ChOlEsTeRoL!” please Google search the difference between dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol because it’s kind of an important detail amidst this whole “but cholesterol is bad for you” nonsense.

4) Fiber’s kind of a big deal. If you’ve been paying attention to my YouTube and/or Podcasts, you’ve heard me talking about it and you’ll see me discussing it more here, too. I’m not hating on Fiber bars. But I am saying if you’re going to try to get more fiber in your diet...do it mainly with whole foods.

5) How many people in the comments do you think are going to s**t the bed over this protein bar bit? Let’s count.

Listen.

If you like protein bars, eat protein bars. I don’t give a f**k. You do you.

Personally, I think they taste like goblin s**t.

“hOw dO yOu kNoW wHaT gObLiN s**T tAsTeS LiKe🥴!?”

It was a phase in college, ok?

Anyway.

If I want a peanut butter chocolate bar I’m gonna eat a Reese’s Pieces and hit my protein another way.

That’s just me.

You do you.

Building a healthy relationship with food does not require you to count calories.

And losing fat does not require you to count calories.

But.

Regardless of whether or not you count your calories, your calories always count.

Doesn’t matter if you do keto or paleo or intermittent fasting or weight watchers or atkins.

Your calories always count.

Also.

Just because I say calories are king for fat loss does NOT imply you should eat like an as***le all day, every day (you shouldn’t)...

Or that calories are the only thing that matter (they aren’t)...

Or that fat loss is always more important than health (it isn’t).

The reason I talk about calories so much is because when you understand how simple (not easy) this fat loss thing really is...the sooner you’ll start to believe you can actually do it.

And the sooner you’ll stop looking for the quick fixes and magical potions and humdingers and fiddle faddles and doodads.

And the sooner you’ll start being more aware of what (and how much) you’re putting into your body.

So you can get the results you want...while enjoying your favorite foods...without spending every last galleon, sickle & knut you earn on useless fat burners.

That’s why I talk about calorie so much.

Not because you need to count them.

But so you can achieve your goals as quickly and sustainably as possible without feeling like a prisoner to the latest diet trend.

CICO is NOT the same thing as counting calories 🤦🏼‍♂️⁣
⁣
I’m not sure how this is still a debate. Calories in vs calories out does not mean tracking every calorie in vs every calorie out. CICO is refers to the underlying physiological process that elicit weight loss or weight gain due to energy balance. Calories in is simply your calories you intake per day. Calories out is much more complicated process & involves your BMR (basal metabolic rate), non exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), Thermic Effect of Food (TEF), & Exercise Activity (EA).⁣
⁣
Sadly, people say things like “I tracked my calories & didn’t lose weight so CICO is BS.” No 🤦🏼‍♂️ That’s like saying “I kept a budget & didn’t get rich so that means money in vs. money out is BS 🤦🏼‍♂️” Or they say things like “I ate in a calorie deficit but didn’t lose weight so CICO is bu****it!” No, if you didn’t lose weight then it wasn’t a calorie deficit 🤷🏼‍♂️. It might have been what a calorie calculator said was a deficit, or what *should* have been a deficit, but if you didn’t lose weight it wasn’t a deficit. Or you weren’t tracking correctly (this is 90% of it as people underreport caloric intake by 30-50% in numerous studies).⁣
⁣
Then there are people who say they lost weight without tracking calories so that means CICO is BS 🤦🏼‍♂️. That’s like saying “I got wealthy without keeping a budget so that means that money in vs money out is BS 🤣. NO! You don’t need to have a budget to save money (but it’s a helpful tool) just like you don’t need to track calories to lose weight (but it can’t be a helpful tool).⁣

So stop saying CICO is bu****it. CICO is not bu****it anymore than gravity is bu****it. It simply is what is. If a diet helps you lose weight it’s through decreasing your energy intake or increasing your energy expenditure or both. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don’t let the facts get in the way of rhetoric. ⁣
⁣
How many studies do we need before it’s clear? Low carb isn’t physiologically superior to moderate or high carb diets that are equivalent in calories and protein. To date we have over 30 studies examining the effects of varying levels of carbohydrate & fat in the diet & their effects on fat loss & energy expenditure. The summation of the research indicates no real difference (maybe an incredibly small favoritism towards HCLF but not of practical relevance). Hall et al. 2017. ⁣
⁣
Now zealots on both sides (vegan/low fat vs low carb) will claim their diet is superior for inflammation & overall health & will cherry pick studies to ‘support’ their claim. The reality is that systemic inflammation overwhelmingly responds to fat loss & exercise. Lose the same amount of fat via different methods & the reduction in inflammation will be very similar. 🤷🏼‍♂️. In fact Naude et al. 2014 Estimated in their meta-analysis that 90-99% of the health benefits of weight loss (as assessed by blood markers) were COMPLETELY DUE TO THE LOST WEIGHT ITSELF! ⁣
⁣
So what does that mean? It means that the best diet for your overall health is probably the one that helps YOU best control calories & lose weight & KEEP IT OFF (assuming you need to lose weight). If that’s low carb? Super. If it’s low fat? Great. Intermittent fasting? Fabulous. Vegan? Amazing. None of them appear to be physiologically superior for weight loss... and since that provides the VAST majority of benefits for health, you better make sure your approach allows you to reach a healthy bodyfat and KEEP IT OFF before you start talking about other SMALL s**t like hormones, inflammation, etc. ⁣
⁣
What’s interesting is people’s NEED to make their diet be physiologically superior. It’s like saying “I just prefer to eat this way” isn’t enough. For example, I calorie cycle. I don’t think it’s superior to non calorie cycling protocols. BUT I PREFER IT! That is the only justification I need. I don’t feel the need to do fu***ng mental gymnastics to validate my dietary choice & make it seem superior to others 🙄. I encourage you do the same.
