He's way off. It's NOT calories in : calories out! It's energy partitioning. Did you know that your body responds to restricted calories by slowing down metabolism? So, calories out lowers as well, all by itself. Equation is false even ignoring insulin, etc.
This was by far the most clear and detailed explanation of energy balance and fat loss I’ve ever heard. No bullshit, just facts. Thank you Layne for being the light in a dark room
The scale doesn't operate that way; it should be the reverse. When there's a greater energy output, the 'energy out' side of the scale should go down. Similarly, when you consume more calories, the 'energy in' side should also go down, pulling the other side up. Fat loss is assessed by how much the left side of the scale moves up. The further up the left side is, the greater your energy deficit, leading to more weight loss. Think of a curved measuring tool on the left side of the scale; the further up it measures, the more significant the energy deficit.
Anyone else noticed the scale tilting is backwards?, the drawing only I mean the info was correct (if you decrease the left side then that side should move up not down), anyway great video glad I found your channel Layne.
Well done! Hit the nail on the head. Every student should be taught this in high school. We need to stop listening to marketing campaigns and gimmicks. Start listening to the science.
My gym buddy is looking great after turning her on to this series. I dropped 30 lbs. 2 years ago and have kept it off! Everyone struggling with weight loss should watch this series! ✌🏼🏋🏻♀️💪🏼
You often hear phrases like "a calorie is a calorie" thrown around but this video is one of the best at going into detail of why that is, and why there is so much confusion around some of these concepts. Lane breaks down the science in an entertaining and clear way and answered many of the questions I had on this topic. Greatly appreciate the videos! I am learning a lot!
Thank you so much for this series. I dropped to 7% body fat for a fight and have gained even more than before I started my cut, and now I know why. Your shared knowledge is very much appreciated.
I want to be an MMA fighter but I want lose 60-70lbs of fat before i do so during that process I want to work on my skills. I had no good knowledge of losing weight when i was wrestling in high school so any advice you’d like to share would be helpful.

This has become my official cutting bible. Thanks for the awesome, well explained content (love your balance drawing analogy btw)
The only thing wrong with this video, is that it wasn’t up before. Wish I had this information back when I started to try and lose weight. Thorough, simple, accurate.
You transformed the way I looked at the process of weight loss.. I finally feel like I'm in control now that i'm not externalizing the cause of weight gain to "carbs".. Causing me to have a black and white mindset
Can't believe it's been a year already since this series began Deff re watched this vid over and over. To this day i'll still jump back on it for additional references. Thanks Layne. Beyond grateful.
I can only speak for myself (since I know the internet loves drama), but for those of us who follow you for the great info/science, and are simply trying to sift though all the information and misinformation online....This type of content is INFINITELY more interesting and helpful than ranting and calling people morons (even if they are). Huge Thanks!
Great video! As someone who’s experienced the eat less and exercise more and still not lose any weight phenomenon, this really helped explain maybe why that was happening. Can’t wait for more! Would love to hear more about how to figure out a proper calorie deficit. Also, drop the background music in the next video...too distracting and not needed.
Tried the whole not counting calories keto diet, what I found was I lost water weight drastically, however I looked very flat, didnt get good pumps and didnt even lose fat. Counting calories is a must. Period.
This is great Layne. I've been a PT for a tiny 3 years. Have learned via absorbing all kinds of information and stuff over my own experiences and with clients on how to do this and explain this. Starting my journey into a nutrition cert to get more details. I look forward to this because I trust your vast experience of knowledge and credibility.
Thank you for doing this series, Layne. I'm so tired - as I know you are - of all the BS floating around social media from zealots who can't understand basic scientific and nutrition principles.
Dude, you are awesome. You, Mike Israetel, Juggernaut guys, Jeff Nippard, etc are awesome for keeping integrity and creating and maintaining a No-Bro-Science zone. Keep it up!
Layne, Thank you,! Great explanation, really well done. I can't wait for the more in-depth videos. If I have one complaint, it is that the music is too loud and distracting. I don't think you cater to the type of audience that needs annoying music filler.
Would love to see an episode on fat GAIN that factors in rates of lipogenesis depending on macronutrients consumed (ie - higher fat vs higher protein/carb, etc).
Thank you Sir! I just had some people from “Zeroing in on health”, a Facebook group, tell me that calories in and calories out and basal metabolic rate is a total myth and nothing you had to say was relevant because you don’t eat zero carb. I used to not understand why you railed against nonsense all the time but I get it now!
This was the best video i have ever seen since years so far. Thanks for the sincere info. Important thing was to explain it like you explain it to elementary school. I ll keep watching. Thanks
Does the energy output change weekly? Or daily? If I wanted to lose weight or gain weight, what’s the safest calorie range to play with? Surplus/deficit of 200 calories?
These are the videos that I love! please keep this series up and expanding more series about metabolic processes this is awesome keep up it man good job
First of all THANK YOU for this awesome series!! So here's my question: Does a minor deficit result in mostly fat loss over time while a severe deficit results in mostly muscle loss? Thanks Lane! Also, if there's a good research paper/study you know of on this topic I'd love to read it.
Your infos are of such great value! !I really hope people will learn. I love your videos you are truely trying to help and make people understand how the body works.
I would add at the end when you talked about your excerise going down because your body gets more efficient.... your body performs less work because you now weigh less. So that hour of cardio requires fewer calories to burn because your body weighs less.
I think a lot of the confusion comes from people not sticking to their diet for very long. In the first week or so the results can be a bit wonky (for instance I started taking creatine and I gained a lot of water weight. It was noticeable on the scale and in the mirror). Once you get dialed in the calories-in-calories-out relationship becomes undeniable. my fitbit tracks calories burned, and with it I can calculate my weight loss to within .2 pounds. hard to argue with that.
What worked for me to lose weight was low-carb and the occasional refeedings so that the metabolism that slows down speeds up again. Exercise is also important. Lifting weights and machines and stair master and a little treadmill 2 or 3 times a week. The rest of the time, rest or treadmill. I got to keep exercising so I look like some version of Superman. Now I got to focus on building muscle, so I'm not worried about losing fat at the moment. I got to get buffer.
9:00 but what kind of Fiber? Soluble or Insoluble? I assume soluble since it is getting actually "burned" but idk maybe it's insoluble since maybe it spends energy trying to digest it and failing and it has to push it through?
You balance metaphor is confused. When you say it’s weighted toward calories out, you have the balance go up on that side, but of course more weight on that side would make that side go down.
Such an informative video. You explained the concepts in a way that was very easy to understand. I hope more people watch this so that they can gain this understanding. Thank you!
Question: how does one differentiate between NEAT and EA? what constitutes whether my actions are one or the other? is it heart rate? I'm sure some people's "day to day" differs significantly from, let's say, office work, for example.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm struggling with losing fat and it's so frustrating. I was looking for the science behind it all and so grateful I found your video. I've been counting Macros for over a year and have had success but now I've plateaued and gained a couple of pounds. I'll keep watching. :)
This video was great Layne thanks! Not that its any NEW information to me because I already had a good handle on the biology of metabolism, but I work at a supplement retailer so I deal with peoples expectations of fat loss and all the typical conundrums that happen in their heads to make up why they aren’t losing weight, and this will help me immensely in explaining it to them step by step! 👍🏼
This video set me free! I finally believe CICO because he gave an indisputable scientific explanation. I am on Ozempic AND I am counting calories so I can build a lifestyle habit after I get off it. Exercise is not a problem; I have always exercised and even enjoy it. Eating has always been my downfall. CICO is sustainable. I now have a way out. Thank you Layne!!!!
Before I watch this, I wonder out loud if he will address the issue of whether or not some approaches to diet make it easier or harder to maintain an energy input deficit. For instance, are the behaviors of people who are so called "fat-adapted" less prone to being influenced by the experience of hunger?
Possibly the most scientific explanation of fat loss on the entire Internet.
Thanks for the pin Layne! Been a long time fan, keep up the great stuff. #MakeAmericaScienceAgain
Yes, yes!
LOL, no theory on why metabolic drop happens? I guess you haven't watched the dozens of other videos I have huh?
What do you want, he thesis?
He's way off. It's NOT calories in : calories out! It's energy partitioning.
Did you know that your body responds to restricted calories by slowing down metabolism?
So, calories out lowers as well, all by itself. Equation is false even ignoring insulin, etc.

Still great nearly 4 years later. Timeless Layne
You mean that 4 years was not quite enough for evolution to modify human energy usage?
Anyone else noticed the scale tilting is backwards?, the drawing only I mean the info was correct (if you decrease the left side then that side should move up not down), anyway great video glad I found your channel Layne.
Well done! Hit the nail on the head. Every student should be taught this in high school. We need to stop listening to marketing campaigns and gimmicks. Start listening to the science.
round of applause!
Biolayne binge watch crew checking in.
Sameeee
Binge watching

nice to see someone focusing on the basics instead of the trend of the month
I’m a CPA, and while tax isn’t my area of focus, I thought your tax analogy was spot on. Glad I found this series!
I don't listen to music in the gym anymore I listen to these education videos...really enjoy them and I come out educated and enlightened
Thank you so much for this series. I dropped to 7% body fat for a fight and have gained even more than before I started my cut, and now I know why. Your shared knowledge is very much appreciated.

Hey man just wanna say we appreciate the detailed and scientifically sound content. No BS, straight to point. Keep up the great work
Wow - I’m saving this video and when people ask me questions I’m going to send them this. Can not wait for the rest of the series!!
Great vid Layne, I still can’t believe on a daily basis you see people arguing against this, or totally dismissing it.
Can't believe it's been a year already since this series began
Deff re watched this vid over and over.
To this day i'll still jump back on it for additional references.
Thanks Layne. Beyond grateful.
Years later I'm still coming back to this for refreshers and further reference.
😎✌️
I can only speak for myself (since I know the internet loves drama), but for those of us who follow you for the great info/science, and are simply trying to sift though all the information and misinformation online....This type of content is INFINITELY more interesting and helpful than ranting and calling people morons (even if they are). Huge Thanks!
This answered a few questions I had left regarding weight loss. Saving this for future reference.
Great video! As someone who’s experienced the eat less and exercise more and still not lose any weight phenomenon, this really helped explain maybe why that was happening. Can’t wait for more! Would love to hear more about how to figure out a proper calorie deficit. Also, drop the background music in the next video...too distracting and not needed.
Hi Layne! We met out in Florida as a Nutrition/Dietetics major I really appreciate the content here! Thanks!
Great concept for a video series, Layne. Keep it coming.
Tried the whole not counting calories keto diet, what I found was I lost water weight drastically, however I looked very flat, didnt get good pumps and didnt even lose fat. Counting calories is a must. Period.
very good video... succinct and explained perfectly... look forward to more
P
I love that you as actual scientist call out all the bias in on the internet
This is great Layne. I've been a PT for a tiny 3 years. Have learned via absorbing all kinds of information and stuff over my own experiences and with clients on how to do this and explain this. Starting my journey into a nutrition cert to get more details. I look forward to this because I trust your vast experience of knowledge and credibility.
Really learned alot here. That tef explanation was a new one for me. Keep it up Layne n thanks for the info
This is the type of video that made me follow you in the first place! Love it
Yes yes yes a million yes! Cannot wait to keep watching his series! Thanks for putting this information out Layne!
Thank you for doing this series, Layne. I'm so tired - as I know you are - of all the BS floating around social media from zealots who can't understand basic scientific and nutrition principles.
Dude, you are awesome. You, Mike Israetel, Juggernaut guys, Jeff Nippard, etc are awesome for keeping integrity and creating and maintaining a No-Bro-Science zone. Keep it up!
Thank you Layne! Im excited for the upcoming videos!
Explained it very well, layne. Keep Spreading those knowledge to the world!
Learned more about weight loss here than from any of my exercise science professors
Awesome video man! Very well explained.
Layne, Thank you,!
Great explanation, really well done. I can't wait for the more in-depth videos.
If I have one complaint, it is that the music is too loud and distracting. I don't think you cater to the type of audience that needs annoying music filler.
Now this is why I watch Layne for the science! Great video keep them coming.
This video is fantastic! Made science easy to be understood.
Excellent video. Was unaware of the TEF of fiber. Thanks
Knew all of it except for the TEF of fiber, But stayed till the end and was just giving you high fives across the internet 👍👏 Keep 'em coming!
Clear, straight forward and science-based.. Good job Layne..
Amazing! Looking Forward for future episodes!
I'm so glad Greg Doucette featured you. You explain what he explains in a bit more detail.
Layne redo these episodes without the music and with the new badass attitude!
Really excited for this series. Thanks
EXCELLENT Vid. This is the type of content I truly hail. Can watch this over and over for hours.
Thanks for being awesome .
Would love to see an episode on fat GAIN that factors in rates of lipogenesis depending on macronutrients consumed (ie - higher fat vs higher protein/carb, etc).
Excited for this series. Perfect timing for me.thx!!!!
Pretty basic information in this video, but I'm excited for the next episode!
Thank you Sir! I just had some people from “Zeroing in on health”, a Facebook group, tell me that calories in and calories out and basal metabolic rate is a total myth and nothing you had to say was relevant because you don’t eat zero carb. I used to not understand why you railed against nonsense all the time but I get it now!
Thanks! I love when you say things twice, bc then I know it’s super important 📓
Excellent job Layne.
This was the best video i have ever seen since years so far. Thanks for the sincere info. Important thing was to explain it like you explain it to elementary school. I ll keep watching. Thanks
Great stuff, simple and informative
Love this! Well done. The information on TEF was very eye opening.
Does the energy output change weekly? Or daily? If I wanted to lose weight or gain weight, what’s the safest calorie range to play with? Surplus/deficit of 200 calories?
These are the videos that I love! please keep this series up and expanding more series about metabolic processes this is awesome keep up it man good job
Awesome info and very informative as always. Thanks Dr. Layne
As always, great stuff! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Very well explained. Thank you dr. Norton
First of all THANK YOU for this awesome series!! So here's my question: Does a minor deficit result in mostly fat loss over time while a severe deficit results in mostly muscle loss? Thanks Lane! Also, if there's a good research paper/study you know of on this topic I'd love to read it.
Not that simple
Great explanation! Can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes.
Great video 👏🏼👏🏼one of the best I have seen in a long time 👌🏼
Another great video! Layne you are the man🙌🏽 I value your opinion and trust your knowledge over anyone else!
Your infos are of such great value! !I really hope people will learn. I love your videos you are truely trying to help and make people understand how the body works.
thank you very much!

amazing lecture! Very thorough!! I'm excited for the other episodes of the series
I’m really looking forward to the more in-depth biochemistry component of this series, it will be very interesting.

Nice way of explaining it! Looking forward to more videos like this
Absolutely amazing thanks man!!! Keep it up!!
Thanks for making this! Great video. I'll send this to my clients who like this kind of stuff.
Solid video, Layne.
elr1cbros I ate a s'mores poptart while watching
Great info yet again looking forward to the full series! Sure this video will help a lot of begginers get that light bulb moment
Amazing explanation ! well done!
Such an informative video. You explained the concepts in a way that was very easy to understand. I hope more people watch this so that they can gain this understanding. Thank you!
Awesome video man. Dropping some knowledge
Amazing explanation.....!
I love it....!
Best of luck Sir....
Well done layne. Enjoyed this video!
Such a great explanation. Thank you Layne!

This scale appears to work like no other. The heavier side goes up and the lighter side goes down.
This video was great Layne thanks! Not that its any NEW information to me because I already had a good handle on the biology of metabolism, but I work at a supplement retailer so I deal with peoples expectations of fat loss and all the typical conundrums that happen in their heads to make up why they aren’t losing weight, and this will help me immensely in explaining it to them step by step! 👍🏼
Thank you so much for making this video! Much needed!
Awesome video! I will undoubtedly be sharing this A LOT. Thanks as always for the great, no nonsense content!
Can somebody give me the study about the the consume of protein and fiber and the increasing in the TEF, thanks!! Awesome info layne, thanks!!
Just discovered your channel. Awesome stuff man, keep it up.
background music doesnt work well with this video lol nice video man!
This video set me free! I finally believe CICO because he gave an indisputable scientific explanation. I am on Ozempic AND I am counting calories so I can build a lifestyle habit after I get off it. Exercise is not a problem; I have always exercised and even enjoy it. Eating has always been my downfall. CICO is sustainable. I now have a way out. Thank you Layne!!!!
Well rounded good information.
Great video. Thanks but why the background music?
Before I watch this, I wonder out loud if he will address the issue of whether or not some approaches to diet make it easier or harder to maintain an energy input deficit. For instance, are the behaviors of people who are so called "fat-adapted" less prone to being influenced by the experience of hunger?
Matthew Morris we are, for sure!
