Daily Reminder that the underlying factor of obesity is not calories, its insulin.

Get to know this smart gentleman, Dr. Fung. I've poured over at least 4 or 5 hours of his content now. His argument is that insulin and insulin resistance are the enemy in terms of obesity.

On a very technical level; yes, calories in calories out. But when you eat less your body burns less. When you eat more your body burns more. Therefore, It is not how much you eat, it is WHAT you eat. It is not eating 6 times a day to keep your metabolism going, it is eating 1 time a day to keep your insulin levels low.

There are a lot of fat people out there cutting calories and starving themselves to death. They have been set up to fail and it is simply the wrong approach.

Dr. Fung suggests a fasting period to deprive your body of insulin thus reducing your insulin resistance (or tolerance if you prefer) levels and switching to a fat heavy, low carb diet.

>scientific paper, that says fat people who cant loose weight with counting calories are fat liars
>>
When I ate 2,000 calories per day I went from 195 to 165 over 7 months or so. I ended up with abs, no lower back fat, even had veins on my quadriceps.

>I had no special eating hours ~ I just consumed 2000 calories over the course of the day and didn't go over 2000.

Then I went back to my old eating habits (not counting calories, eating whatever I want) and over 1 year or so regained all the fat.

Counting calories works so long as you actually do it. I can easily track calories, but I simply no longer possess the willpower to actually stick to my calorie limit.

People are in denial about this stuff.

I sometimes wish that someone was able to control my calorie intake for me, that way I'd maintain lean body my entire life.

I control my dogs food intake and I can literally make them overweight by feeding them 2 cups of dog food a day, or keep them lean on 1 cup of dog food a day. Apply the same control to any human and watch their body composition change very easily without any issues.
>>
>>40897886
Unless you're eating the right things it will never matter. If you eat less calories but are eating processed carbohydrates your insulin levels will remain high and your cells will be resistant. Its a balance of resetting your insulin levels, resistance and diet. The food industry has been perpetuating this lie. Why? Money of course.
>>
>>40897951
Exactly! You rebounded and got even fatter, am I correct? Doctor Fung addresses this stuff directly. It wasn't your willpower my friend, it was insulin. Trust me, give the 30 minute video a gander, this shit is revolutionary.
>>
>>40897973
No I did not get fatter.

I just went back up to the bodyweight I maintain on about 3,000-3,300 calories per day.

Nothing at all about the way I eat changes (type of food, timing of food) besides eating less calories.

Fuck off Dr Dung.

>>40898016
Your TDEE does NOT change significantly enough when you go on a caloric deficit that you need meme diets like Keto to lose weight.

Just stay on a deficit, use scale in conjunction with the mirror. Everything else is unnecessary.

>>40898015
I'm no doctor and I honestly don't know a ton. I need to rewatch a lot of his content. But, trust me man this guy knows what he's talking about. You didn't fail because of willpower. ALL of The Biggest Loser contestants rebounded as well. They were set up to fail. If you don't know the cause you can't solve the problem, and the problem is a lifetime of soda, sugars, and all sorts of carbohydrates that have made your body resistant to insulin.

This is exactly the paradigm I'm challenging. It sounds good on paper but it is not practical. It has a ridiculous fail rate, you lose the weight and rebound almost every time. If it were so true the United States, and the rest of the world to an extent, would not be in this obesity epidemic. Something is wrong with the science. I believe Dr. Fung might have the answer.

Hey so what happens if I go on an ultra low calorie diet (under 750 calories of pure fat and protein per day all in one meal) and walk an average of 15k steps every day? It seems to be working fine so far but I'm afraid my body might start going into survival mode soon

Listen, this is for the fatties that are trying to lose weight. You have stumbled onto the holy grail of weight loss.

I'm telling you this because I'm passionate and I care. I have no motive other than to see you succeed and to challenge the beliefs I don't agree with on this board, much like Dr. Fung is challenging almost every other professional in his field.

The real problem is people are sold a diet to lose 10 pounds, lose the 10 pounds and then go back to their old habits. To be healthy or to lose weight and keep it off you need to realize you aren't "going on a diet" you're changing your diet. That's the trap.

And I'm arguing that calories are not whats important. Its the balance of insulin and ghrelin. Fat people are fat because they're built up a tolerance to insulin. Studies show higher insulin = fatter people. Lower insulin = skinnier people. You need to retrain your insulin tolerance so that your body doesn't need to eat more to get the same effect. And that is where calories in and calories out comes in. Yes they are eating more calories and getting fatter, but WHY? He's trying to find the underlying factor. Why do the want more calories? Why do almost all of the calories in calories out and exercise methods fail?

The citation is in the OP. In his 1 hour talks, 6 total, there are plenty of studies cited that back this science up.

Diebetes and insulin resistance are symptoms. More likely cause is related to a loss of UCP-1 or something with prostaglandin e2 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4550686/

>>40898283
>Insulin levels are not nearly as important as you think for weight loss.

can you explain this statement? the way i understand it, when insulin is elevated you are in fat storage mode and literally cannot burn fat.
>>
>>40897843
>when you eat less your body burns less. When you eat more your body burns more

It's called thermogenic effect of food. Your body consumes more calories by digesting 1000kcals eaten in one sitting than 300kcals. In the end it evens out to be the same.

>It is not eating 6 times a day to keep your metabolism going, it is eating 1 time a day to keep your insulin levels low

It might improve nutrient partitioning but if you're not burning more than what you consume weight loss just isn't gonna happen. Look up on thermodynamics.

>switching to a fat heavy, low carb diet

Not even gonna comment on this one.

Look man, this doctor Fung isn't some lifechanging miracle profet who discovered the secret to something as complex as how the human body works. It's something that it's not 100% understood yet, and when it comes to dieting, it's not so black and white. He's got some good points, but he's not revealing anything that hasn't been considered before. Most of what he says has been discussed countless times before he even made that speech, so it's not an end all be all of nutrition.

>>
>>40898081
>Calories in vs Calories out is not a myth. Your body doesn't break the law of thermodynamics just because you started eating less.

no, but it's stupid and oversimplified. your metabolic processes are more complicated than one fucking number.
>>
>>40898412
>Your body uses more calories by digesting 1000kcals

correction
>>
>>40897843

Well, yes, when you eat at a calorie deficit, what's happening behind the scenes is your insulin is low, which is how your body knows to burn fat to make up the deficit. The two go hand-in-hand. You can't effectively do one without the other.
>>
>>40898386
What I meant is that he is proposing that insulin levels are empirically more important than eating at a caloric deficit for losing weight and that is just not correct
>>
>>40898367
And ghrelin. They are the underlying factor of why they want so many calories and why they crave the wrong foods. It is the hormonal system that is at work here, not will power or behavior. A lifetime of bad dieting has put them in this state. Fasting to retrain the insulin tolerance will make there bodies need less insulin and therefore needless food (calories) to feed the cells. Thereafter maintaining a 1 meal a day intermittent fast to keep the insulin levels low (you get an insulin spike when you eat).

I just wish people would watch the video, its literally all in there.

this is the problem with /fit/. dumb fucking aspies from /pol/ or whatever other shit board you came from who read the sticky and think they're a goddamn expert on nutrition.

>>40898464
yeah because body composition doesn't matter, nor does insulin resistance or insulin sensitivity. only those calories and the scale lol fuck am i smart yet???? someone please notice how intelligent i am.
>>
>>40898440
The problem is that people think its a matter of willpower. The only willpower involved is choosing the right foods to eat, not how much you eat. Its not insulin levels so much as its insulin resistance. They have built up an insulin tolerance which needs to be radically changed, and changing the hormonal system is not easy. But once you get to the UNDERLYING reason people want more calories, then you can treat obesity effectively.
>>
>>40898473
Because when you are on a caloric deficit you are literally starving so your body starts to cannibalize itself for energy. It's natural that it would send signals and release hormones for you to eat.

Insulin sensitivity will balance out with the introduction of a healthy diet. You CAN eat McDonald's everyday and lose weight, but it isn't as fun because you have like two Mcdoubles and half a fry for the entire day.

Other foods like chicken breast and veggies are more satiating and filling because of fiber and protein. So you can earless and still feel satisfied.

>>40898502
Yes so we need to retrain those hormones. They will keep you going back to that homeostatic state of being fat. Whatever weight you were is that homeostatic state. Your body thinks its starving but there is plenty of energy stored in the fat cells. Retraining the hormones will smack your hormone system in the face, so to speak, so that you don't have those cravings. You don't need them and your body doesn't "know" that. This is caused from the body "thinking" it needs more food because the cells have become so resistant to the insulin released from eating. The resistance, or tolerance, is a universal concept. Much like building a resistance to alcohol, an antibiotic, or any drug for that matter.

Two things.
Changes in metabolism are entirely down to the loss in mass...which equals a loss in basal metabolic rate. You know, less body less calories needed to fuel and move said body?

Secondly, the body does not drop weight in a 1:1 fashion. Some weeks you'll drop 2 pounds others you'll drop a half of a pound. It is not linear.

>>40897843
repped brah

Learned about insulin when I was first starting out with intermittent fasting and experimenting with keto diets. Tried everything but was still skinnyfat.

Eventually I realized my carb intake was too high which caused huge spikes in insulin and horrible nutrient partitioning as a result. I still do IF and a keto-esque diet with about 65% fat, 25% protein and 10% carbs. I eat more/less carbs on workout days.

If you are skinnyfat, you will progress out of skinnyfat by improving your insulin sensitivity through decreased eating, fasting, and cutting carbs.

I'm not sure where you get the information to make your first claim.

Energy efficiency isn't going to stay exactly the same. For one, carbs are a more efficient source of energy than fats or proteins, so a calorie of carbs will yield a greater amount of (usable) energy than a calorie of fat

The problem here is that people are talking past each other. It's obviously true that eating less calories than you consume will make you lose weight. Only complete retards would disagree with this. The point behind keto and its variants is that most people would prefer not to feel like shit all the time, and some diets just make it easier to eat less calories without feeling like shit. That's it. That's the whole argument.

Also, it may or may not be true that hormones influence how many of the calories you put in your mouth are actually taken up by your body. That this is true is another claim by keto people (and probably also OP's guy). I'm not a doctor, so I have no idea if they are right.

This is correct.

Diabetes is virtually nonexistent in people who have a body fat mass that is normal for their genetics. There are people who have a "normal" BMI and do develop diabetes, but this is due to different fat distribution and due to their genetics requiring a lower body fat mass for healthy insulin metabolism. This is more typical in Asians, for example.

The only way to really kill insulin sensitivity in a person with low body fat is to feed them a ton of saturated fat while removing fruits, vegetables, fiber and carbs

Things that make the most sense to me from all this insulin talk is to avoid high glycemic foods, especially when you're hungry and are more likely to binge on it. High GI foods will spike your glucose and insulin sky high and at those levels the glucose is most likely to be converted to and stored as fat (as well as lypolisis being inhibited). Over time this will probably induce some metabolic changes in terms of insulin resistance, changed body composition, etc. This is just the tip of the iceberg, metabolism is complex as fuck and you just can't point your finger at one thing and say it's the cause of everything hence why so many pseudo science bullshit out there.

The glycemic index is "pseudo science bullshit" though.

>High GI foods will spike your glucose and insulin sky high
It is impossible for glucose to be "sky high" in somebody who does not have diabetes, even if you give them several hundred grams of refined sugar and glucose. It does not happen.

>at those levels the glucose is most likely to be converted to and stored as fat
This is false. De novo lipogenesis does not happen in any normal dietary context. The first thing that happens in response to carbohydrate overfeeding is that metabolism is increased. In some people, physical activity level is increased as well (facultative dietary thermogenesis). There are some studies on this and it takes several days of overeating thousands of calories of carbs to get any significant amount of conversion to fat. Even then, the conversion takes 25% of the energy, so carbs stored as fat effectively only have 3 calories per gram. An adult human male athlete can store around 5000 calories of carbohydrates, sometimes more, while burning 100-200 per hour.

Also, the only other viable energy source is fat. You know what happens to fat you eat? It gets stored as fat. So how does it even makes sense to eat fat instead. It doesn't.

>>40899028
I’m not discrediting what you’re saying, but I think that simplicity goes hand-in-hand with success for weight loss. I think focusing too much on the “why” loses focus on the bigger picture. Weight loss is just that, losing weight, regardless of whether hormones are increasing cravings and hunger. I agree that eating satisfying foods are important for the mental part of losing weight, but even if that’s not done, the human body cannot create calories from nothing. As well, I disagree with recommending IF because people who IF are much more likely to binge eat and underestimate calories consumed. Again, it’s not that I think that it’s 100% wrong, but I think it’s just not the things that people should be focusing on when they want to lose weight.

Because people enjoy food and seek emotional refuge in eating. I used to be fat and I didn't get there by craving food or responding to hunger signals, I got there by eating food past the point of being full because it was pleasurable and filled my boredom.

God I hate that statement. Thermogenic effect of food roughly equates to a 10% burn of calories consumed. So my eating at a moderate deficit of 500 Calories means you're missing out on 50 extra calories that would have been burned by eating at maintenance from muh eat more burn more. That still adds up to a net loss of 450, from food. So long story short eat less, lose more.

>But when you eat less your body burns less. When you eat more your body burns more.

Nice b8 m8.
Just like most things in life, your body only burns more if you're doing things that cause it to burn it. If you you eat 2000 calories above your weight now, and you just sit on your ass and do nothing, you'll gain fat, your body won't just burn those extra 2000 calories into nothing.

Do you know WHY the diet was mostly carbs in the 1950s? It was because food was a hell of a lot more scarce, and carbohydrate-heavy cereal crops are the easiest foodstuff to grow at scale and store.

People didn't become obese because they didn't have the opportunity to gorge themselves.

Honestly Dr Fung seems pretty cool, I can tell he's one of those super high functioning people who expects that everyone else (aka the american population) is on his level. Instead of realizing that sometimes these people who "can't loose weight" it isn't because their metabolism slowed a little while they're dieting, it isn't because they gained a few calories from insulin resistance, it's because they're really too lazy to commit to healthy lifestyle changes so they go on a series of unsustainable diets and their weight yoyos back and forth. They aren't going to the doctors because they're honestly tried everything and don't know what to do, they're going to the doctors complaining no matter what they do they can't loose weight because they want a quick fix for the problem. They want pills, surgery, anything other than actually having to take responsibility for their past actions and change their lifestyle for the better.

Yes those factors are playing a part making it harder for them to loose weight, but it's still not impossible to loose weight by calorie reduction. If anything they should blame themselves because no one forced them to eat garbage for the past x amount of years and then go crying to the doctors because it's slightly harder for them to loose weight because they've completely wrecked their own metabolism.

Some source could be useful for these because even though I had biochem over two years ago some of these statements seem kinda way off, especially the 5000 calorie thing (iirc it's around 1400 calories stored as glycogen in liver and muscles in untrained individuals). I could be wrong though but really can't be assed now to go though all those biochem processes I used to memorize just to prove someone wrong (or correct myself).

The more insulin you have, the harder it is going to be to lose fat, this is scientific fact. If you have high insulin and cut at a deficit your body is going to compensate by lowering your basal metabolic rate

Not necessarily true. Complex carbs make your insulin signalling more efficient, so you require less. Fatty foods make insulin signalling less effective. Protein can also elicit a large insulin response.

Fucking idiots not even watching the video just literally kill yourself and do the world a favor.

No one is denying the FUNDAMENTALS of calorires in and calories out. No one is denying that despite whatever diet and whatever insulin amount if you are on a surplus you will not lose weight.

> Insulin is supposed to drive sugar (glucose) into your cells where you use it for energy. Unfortunately, people with chronically high insulin levels lose the ability to do this. Therefore they don’t get energy from eating these foods, and in fact their liver converts the carbohydrate they ate to fat.

You fucking idiots just don't seem to get it. High insulin levels make your CALORIES OUT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

NO you are NOT breaking laws of thermodynamics but because of different factors playing a role in CICO you could be estimating your CALORIES OUT at ~1000 kcal too high which means that you won't lose weight even at a '500kcal deficit' because it's actually not a deficit to begin with thanks to high carb and high insulin levels.
>>
I'm not sure why everyone's autism is flaring up and thinking this issue is a binary. It is not just "cals in cals out" or just "insulin sens and fasting"

Bodies are individual and really complicated.

Personally, I am very carb sensitive and grapple at least 25 hours a week with lifting. I need a large amount of carbs but also can't eat them without getting extremely tired.

Cutting is also difficult, a standard 500 deficit for me doesn't net me the weight loss it would the average bear.

I've had to resort to fasting on a 20/4 schedule, two meals in that four hour period, only water outside of it for two months to reset my relative insulin sensitivity so I could eat carbs without feeling like I'm going to pass out.

Now I still eat within an 8 hour window and feel much better.

Insulin sensitivity is a thing, not a meme, and can help in % efficiency gains.

Fasting speeds up my cuts by 20-30% on the same caloric deficit without fasting.

Insulin doesn't work like that you fat fuck.

If your body overreleased insulin to the point you're stating, your blod glucose levels would deplete, triggering the fucking fat created to be broken down - hence meaning it doesn't fucking matter - you'd still have the same caloric deifict.

But it doesn't work like that, because some glucose is left in the blood because of negative feedback.

>>40898444
>Less energy to feed cells

Insulin isn't made in fucking body cells but in the Islets of Langerhan - in the liver, it's energy consumption is beyond fucking low.

Your cells would need more energy in relative terms, as your glycogen deposits run out - and it results in breaking down amino acids and fats for glucose via gluconeogenesis.

Nothing you say is fucking researched.

This is 100% completely wrong. It comes from people getting overly focused on garbage details and forgetting the big picture. Insulin is not magic it can't violatr thermodynamics. This is just like the solar roadway bullshit. If basic science isn't your thing take a moment to think about why athletes are not doing rediculous shit with their diet to manipulate insulin. No one is fasting and no one is drinling pure fructose after training. Meal timing isn't a big deal and food selection does not affect long term insulin behaviour in any significant way.

The body isn't a simple furnace. Its smart, complex, very intricate. Many factors play into the slightest operation. And Obviously its not JUST insulin, its a multitude of factors. The problem is that. I addressed, multiple times throughout the thread why I believe its not as simple as calories in and calories out. I'll explain it quickly for those that aren't reading the whole thread but just want to reply to the OP.

The theory is that when you are fat being fat is your homeostatic state. When you reduce the calories your body thinks you are starving irrationally, it doesn't know that there is plenty of energy to pull from in the fat cells. You have to retrain your insulin sensitivity so that your body doesn't require so fucking much of it to be satiated. You reduce the amount of times you eat by fasting, your insulin levels drop from not eating, and your cells reduce its resistance to insulin. Once you start eating again, on an intermittent fast, you will not need to eat as much to satisfy your insulin needs. The idea is to keep your cells at a healthy sensitivity to insulin but having fasting periods.

I have to actually believe this...as of 4 months ago I've been eating 3k-4k calories a day with a top expenditure of 2.8k calories on workout days. I've only been eating good foods and I've been putting on substantial muscle while keeping my body weight the same if not lost a couple pounds (176/177 6'2")

Before I was eating complete shit and I wouldn't even come close to 3k calories (2-2.5k rougly) and I would see increases/fluxuations in my weight depending on how much i'd restrict myself after noticing me putting on fat. This really does make sense.

Only if you're morbidly obese and are prediabetic. Even then it should only be a temporary measure.

Calories in - calories out is a simplification. But in the same way classical mechanics is a simplification: It still works well in 99.99% of cases (people who actually are justified in their "muh genetics!" claims are very rare and usually confined to hospital beds and/or die young) and the differences from actual results (which take a doctorate or two to understand fully) are under 5% (due to physics putting a hard limit on things.)

>I don't care if it's a meme or not, works for me.
It works because you have less time to stuff your face and snack, also when you eat less (often) you tend to take more care in what you eat. Smiliar things take place when you go keto or buy smaller plates or cut out bread or substitute simple for complex carbs.

As long as you're not one of those retards who think that those things have any magical fat burning properties - you're all set. Idiots who start believing that usually find a way to fuck up on other fronts.

You're right in that your body becomes more efficient...if you become more active.
But it really does come down to your body burning fewer calories because it's smaller.

Protein is a last ditch super inefficient energy source that the body does not want to use.

Body doesn't just drop fat in a linear fashion. Especially if you're already moderately lean or in the normal range of bodyfat.
And some weeks or months the body will not unass a single solitary fucking ounce of fat no matter how meticulous you are and how hard you go in the gym and on your diet.
Body doesn't work like that.
It isn't a 100% efficient machine.

It does all go down to calories in calories out when it comes to absolute weight loss above a certain level. Like well over normal(Which is basically chubby) and into fat as fuck territory.
And to be honest if you've been obese or just fat as fuck for a long period then you're just fucked forever and will just have to deal with having greater cravings then people who've had a relatively normal weight and were fairly active.
But once you stop gorging on foods, fix your diet in a more functional way(a way that doesn't just ruin your life and is simple clean if not cleaner and easy to do forever) and up your daily activity level and drop down into the normal weight THEN this talk about insulin becomes more important.

Till then we are litterally talking about rearranging deck chairs on the SS FATSHITSINKING and every year you are obese is multiple years off of your life.

Its about pointing out that its not as simple as burning more calories than you put in. A person who is insulin tolerant is miserable on a calorie restricted diet and they may not have to be.

>I hope his entire family gets eaten by pandas

>Have fun with your cramps, constipation, acid reflux, potential cancer etc
[citation needed] Many religions practiced some form of fasting even after we mastered agriculture and fasting was mandatory (temporary starvation). It seems to work as a reset for the body. Maybe they know something we don't. As far as intermittent fasting goes; you can still eat 3 meals in a reasonably spaced amount of time. Just allow a 10-16 hour fasting period to reduce insulin resistance.

>Only if you're morbidly obese and are prediabetic.
Yes. That is the topic of the thread.

I watched the video. It's all legit. Atkins, Robb Wolf, Tim Ferris and others have covered a lot of this before. /Fit/ will likely not watch tho because they like what they have.

Many pro body builders and trainers eat "chicken broccoli and brown rice" religiously.

You do actually want to use insulin to build muscle, however and this doc doesn't address that much.

Low carb is a good tool for building insulin sensitivity so when you do eat carbs when you lift it gets glycogen back in the muscles.

Do you know why US is troubled by obesity? I'll tell you exactly why. Education and Culture. Growing up, most kids in other countries are taught the importance of proper nutrition (eat your vegetables etc) and appreciation/respect for food. Exercise is also encouraged from a young age. This might also be the case in some US homes, but to a far lesser extent than say Japan or France. Now the big difference comes when we look at how exercise and nutrition is taught in school or portrayed by the media/society. It might also have to do with how individualistic the american society has become. Manufacturers will put anything short of poison in the food of their citizens if it means they can profit from it. The health of future generations is ignored.

The best thing I found in Fung's videos is that there may be some health benefits (or at the very least it isn't harmful) to go extended periods without food. I have a weak willpower in the sense that when I eat, I want to eat a lot of food at once, so I decided to only let myself eat one time a day.

Of course, if someone else had a lack of willpower in that they needed to snack all the time, I wouldn't recommend IF; I would recommend eating healthier and snacking on veggies.

I think one of the benefits of IF is that if I stuff myself to the point that I would feel sick eating anymore (which is a lot for a fatty), my body tries to get rid of what is in it. I often poop within an hour of eating, so my body clearly did not use all that energy I ate.

Also, I think there is a huge mental barrier to how hunger is viewed. I think any fatty should fast, at least once in their life, for at least 24 hours to let themselves know that they can survive without eating for a little while. The longest fast I've done is about 48 hours (dinner one day to dinner two days later).

Also, I've come to appreciate being hungry. I like the feeling of my body consuming itself and getting rid of fat; it pushes me to put off breaking my fast even longer.

Thanks for reading my blog. Keep fighting the good fight.

>Low carb is a good tool for building insulin sensitivity

Fat generally isn't good for insulin sensitivity. Saturated fats especially, which are hard not to get on a low-carb diet, lower insulin sensitivity.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15297079

High carb diets that are high in fiber too (not processed carbs) are great for improving insulin sensitivity and lowering circulating insulin levels, even when they're designed to keep weight stable (no confounding due to weight loss, which on its own can improve insulin sensitivity).

That's because you don't understand what insulin does. It just shifts glucose intracellularly. If you don't physically have the glucose to move intracellularly (because you're eating at deficit), then you will not be able to increase your mass. You can't store macros your never ate. No, TDEE doesn't vary that much.

As a type 1 diabetic who has had 17 years of experience with it I respectfully disagree on your claim. I'm sure there are studies claiming X is better Y is worse while the other study claims Y is better X is worse.

The higher carb I eat the less the insulin I inject works.

I also had crazy amounts of visceral fat at one point in my life despite being underweight because I ate shitload of carbs and abused insulin.

Insulin sensitivity made the carbs store into fat instead of burned for energy and basically fucked my BMR completely.

>The higher carb I eat the less the insulin I inject works.

The study posted had people drop their fat intake from ~150g per day to ~50g, and up their fiber from ~15g per day to ~90g . If your diet is high in fat and you're not getting your carbs from healthy, high-fiber foods, you probably won't see that kind of improvement in insulin sensitivity when you up the carbs. Food quality is important.
>>
>>40905912
Lipohypertrophy comes from injecting it near an adipose depot. IM injections are much better.

With physiological insulin release from an intact pancreas, tracer work has shown only about 5% of postprandial glucose disposal is done in adipose whereas the rest that isn't immediately burnt for energy is sent to liver and muscle for glycogen synthesis.

Without insulin carbs aren't 'burnt for energy' instead you get hyperglycemia, glycosuria and the resulting damage to vasculature. Diabulimia is serious shit.

All the more reason why they need it. Being miserable from just eating a little less is a major warning sign. Every doctor will suggest weight loss to an overweight and prediabetic patient - I guess they're all wrong.

>Yes. That is the topic of the thread.
Nope it's not. OP retarded point is that weight loss is not mainly about caloric restriction. Which is an extraordinarily stupid claim.

>The modern formula of exercising more and eating less does not work.
It worked great for me and 99% of /fit/. The average person is also terrible at eating enough vegetables - to conclude from that that eating vegetables is not good for you and doesn't work is retarded.

Calories will still have the biggest impact. Sure your body can adopt to it and can get into temporary hunger metabolism BUT that's why you don't cut for ages and do strategic refeeds (not fucking cheat days!) and/or short Diet breaks.

yeah, this "method" will work. know why? because when your hormones stabilize after eating once a day for a few days, you won't be hungy until your meal. then you can "eat all you want" (but really, nobody can overeat when they're eating one meal a day), and bam you're losing weight. why? because as a fatty, your tdee is probably around, say, 2500kcal, and there's no way in hell you can eat 2500+ kcal of food in 1 meal (especially if you're watching what you eat and you mostly eat salads, eggs and meat). it's not a secret that if you want to lose weight you eat 1-2 big meals per day (you're less hungry this way), and if you wanna gain weight you eat 3-4+ meals per day. thus we conclude it's not the insulin or whatever, but yet again CICO that makes this weight loss possible.

metabolic slowdown doesn't occur until months of starvation.

yeah decreasing your intake slightly wont, but we all know most fatties slash their daily kcal intake by 50%+ to lose weight faster, and there's a thing called 'set point', where the body is basically comfy at a certain weight (which is, for fatties, the weight they've been a fatty at)

the set point can change, but only if you stay at the new (lowered) weight for a longish period of time

>Moderately obese young college men pursuing their usual activities were studied first during a 3-week prereduction weight maintenance period and subsequently were distributed into three isocaloric, isoprotein diet subgroups, which varied as to level of carbohydrate in the diet. On the 1,800-kcal reduction diet consumed over a 9-week period, diet A contained 104 g carbohydrate/day; diet B, 60 g; diet C, 30 g. The three-man subgroups were matched as closely as possible on the basis of maintenance caloric requirement and percent body weight as fat.

Weight loss, fat loss, and percent weight loss as fat appeared to be inversely related to the level of carbohydrate in the isocaloric, isoprotein diets. No adequate explanation can be given for weight loss differences.

There were no outstanding differences in nitrogen, sodium, or potassium balances among the diet groups. The little effect on blood lipids that was observed was probably most favorable to the highest carbohydrate diet group A.

>Actual nutrient intakes from food records during the VLCK (Very Low-Carb Ketogenic) (%carbohydrate:fat:protein = ~9:63:28%) and the LF(Low Fat) (~58:22:20%) were significantly different. Dietary energy was restricted, but was slightly higher during the VLCK (1855 kcal/day) compared to the LF (1562 kcal/day) diet for men. Both between and within group comparisons revealed a distinct advantage of a VLCK over a LF diet for weight loss, total fat loss, and trunk fat loss for men (despite significantly greater energy intake). The majority of women also responded more favorably to the VLCK diet, especially in terms of trunk fat loss. The greater reduction in trunk fat was not merely due to the greater total fat loss, because the ratio of trunk fat/total fat was also significantly reduced during the VLCK diet in men and women. Absolute REE (kcal/day) was decreased with both diets as expected, but REE expressed relative to body mass (kcal/kg), was better maintained on the VLCK diet for men only. Individual responses clearly show the majority of men and women experience greater weight and fat loss on a VLCK than a LF diet.

The reduced weight loss in the higher carb groups, despite eating the same calories and protein proves resistance to weight loss that is immediated by insulin.


So, if he had eaten straight up butter instead of twinkies, he would have lost more weight, more fat, and retained more muscle.

You say everyone knows that. You and I know that. But all the thread and [citation needed]'s reveal that -everyone- does no know that. Those of us who do know it have actual science and experience backing us up.

set-weight isn't a real thing, the only studies that exist for it are fucking starving rat studies with refeeds.

All the fatty has to do is not return to their previous diet.

Produce a study that isn't on rats you fucking retard.

seems to me that you just wanted to get validation for some bullshit theory which shall revolutionize weight loss

eat less, move more, that's literally the secret

Here's a LCHF playlist for people interested in the various benefits (that I have found so far) the first 5 videos are short 5 minute videos about the benefits to athletic performance, brain performance, energy performance, and other things. The first one is the athletic one since this is /fit/.

Warrior diet works great for this, also most people can't eat a fuckload in one meal so never get fat.

You also don't get hungry during the day which is nice.

Yeah, no.

Warrior Diet has no scientific Backup.
However, if your goal is just losing weight it is okay.
If you want to keep muscle loss at a minimum it is not.
There was a study comparing one meal a Day vs 4hr eating window vs 8hr eating window.
Best one was 8hrs.

Funny thing is that when your body isn't used to overeating unhealthy shit, you wont even gain much weight.
Fattys basically fucked up their bodies in a longer term to get fat.

so what you're saying is that insulin DOES play a significant role, despite your earlier post suggesting otherwise. interesting!

>>40898381
>Yes they are eating more calories and getting fatter, but WHY?
hormones have an effect on hte body
but so do gut flora and psychology

and those factors are changed by habits. both of them are heavily affected by moving/exercise.
>>
>>40906725
so you're saying we're different today from the people who were fat and lost weight 20ish years ago? lol
>>
>>40906762
your system is set to handle a certain amount and certain types of food. If you suddently change the type and amount it will take time to accommodate, but it will happen.

Obese people have a very different gut flora than normal weighted people. and that is just one factor. The obesity issue isnt due to ine factor. If you think it is then you failed miserably

Sure thing, mate.

Nobody is saying that insulin is not an important factor in human metabolism, but that is completely different from saying that it can somehow make you violate the laws of physics.

Using diabetics as a baseline for talking about weight loss in the general population (of which less than 10% is diabetic) is idiotic. Not to mention that even diabetics are proven to be able to improve their condition dramatically by controlling caloric intake and that the majority of people are diabetic because of obesity.

Trying to divorce insulin resistance and calorie tracking from each other and representing them as separate strategies for weight control is fucking stupid - in 99.9% of people they are essentially two sides of the same coin. Eating at your TDEE will control weight AND insulin levels (unless you eat nothing but sugar all day.) Losing weight (by calorie tracking) WILL help bring insulin resistance under control. Low carb diets and the like are an effective short-term measure for pre-diabetic, obese individuals - but to imply that that automatically means it should be the default diet or that it has some magical weight loss properties is a flat-out lie.

All fatties hear is more calories in and they'll get back on the sweets/carb train. Don't pretend.

A group of n=2 measuring body circumference and a skin fold which are affected by total body water. No statistically significant differences regardless and the data reported seems to be erroneous... just look at the discrepancies in weight loss on tables 4 & 6.

Here's a meta-analysis with adequate statistical power

>While low carbohydrate diets have been suggested to partially subvert these processes by increasing energy expenditure and promoting fat loss, our meta-analysis of 32 controlled feeding studies with isocaloric substitution of carbohydrate for fat found that both energy expenditure (26 kcal/d; p<0.0001) and fat loss (16g/d; p<0.0001) were greater with lower fat diets.

An outpatient trial using self-reported dietary intake - which isn't reliable at all http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v39/n7/full/ijo2014199a.html & http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v34/n3/full/ijo2009251a.html & https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-lookup/doi/10.1210/jc.2004-1540 - done by the Atkins foundation - an obvious COI that has publication bias - self-published in a pseudojournal ran by them. With changes in energy expenditure can be attributed to differences in protein and fibre intake. Simply amazing.

And twinkies aren't particularly low fat btw (30% E from fat), too high for spontaneous reduction in caloric intake.

>The obesity report produced by the WHO from its 1997 consultation considered 20–25% to be the maximum average intake which would limit obesity, but the dominant policies are still those relating to cardiovascular disease developed by Geoffrey Rose and Henry Blackburn for WHO in 1984.

ITT: Fat people arguing against fasting because they have never gone more than 8 hours without carbs.
>>
>>40907757
i'm a fat guy and im arguing against the op's notion that the insulin is the only thing that drives fat loss or gain

that said, fasting is a great method to lose weight because you get to eat 1 or 2 large meals (while still following a deficit) and thus you get to be fuller after said meals
