just to be clear i don't dislike or hate Layne but this explanation only works for glucose intake once you include other carbs into the mix like fructose, dextrose, etc. this theory does not work. And it is pretty impossible to find carbs which are just glucose on a grocery store
Having completed a MS in Nutrition, I can say no one can sum up an entire sequence of graduate courses like Layne, especially not in just a few short RUclips clips. People do not realize the value of the educational material translated through this video series. Thanks for the series, Layne. It has been a nice refresher in macronutrient metabolism and biochemical pathways!
Nick Bordonaro hey Nick, a quick question if you have a moment. When I was on a low carb diet, I seemed to lose weight very quickly. Granted I was at 38 percent body fat, so any diet probably would have worked quickly at that time. Fast forward to now, I’m down to about mid 10 percent body fat and on a flexible diet approach. I find weight loss to be a lot slower this way. Is this because high protein diets and fiber have a higher thermic affect, if calories are the same? Is high carb a slower approach to dieting, with the benefit of strength in the gym? I was just curious how I could maximize fat loss on a high carb diet. I know I need to keep protein high and fat low. Anything else you could think of to speed things up? Thanks.
@@MrGflan itsenergy balance. Your a smaller human than You were at 39+ percent BF. So you are burning less energy daily than before. Example would be. A 200lb man burns more calories on a mile walk tha. A 160lb person doing the same distance and speed.
@@pureruckuspower2165 thank you. I like youtube because it allows me to see how much I’ve learned in the past year when reading my original post. This makes a lot of sense. I went to maintenance for a while and stayed around the 12 percent mark. Fast forward to now, my low abs are coming in again and still on a higher carb approach. I am actually losing weight quicker now, I think because my resting metabolic rate is a little higher due to packing on a small amount of muscle and making better adjustments to NEAT. I intentionally keep moving and play with the dog even when I’m a little run down. I appreciate your feedback and it seems all diets can work, but I definitely feel better on a higher carb approach. Though low carb higher fats did help more with brain function, firing it seems and alertness. Just my opinion.
I like that you recently took your channel to the more authentic side of you. Thanks for the clear videos you providing. Keep it up and just be you, its grate.
Thank you! “I’ll say it again...” always helps me understand. But I had to go back to watch again to absorb the move from the high fat/low carb surplus comment on no insulin needed to the low fat/high carb deficit where insulin is referenced on the fat storage. But second time around, I caught the emphasis on PERCENTAGE of fat stored. Got it. Thanks again for putting these out!
Really great series Layne, as an improvement suggestion, have a look at Dr Rhonda Patrick's videos where she puts subtitles to explain the jargon while she carries on with the message - I feel it works really well
Thanks for making this series. This was very helpful for understanding the importance of negative energy balance to loss body fat irrespective of high fat or high carbs intake.
When you have a scientific brain and you're trying to explain this to someone that doesn't have a scientific brain and they look at you like this 🙃🙃🙃literally standing on their heads....😩
Love this series, never understood how I could lose weight on such high carbs since we've always heard low fat, low carb and high carb is evil. Working with a coach now and I'm on a good amount of carbs and losing...thanks so much for these informational, proven, scientific videos.
Substantive content is great (as usual), and delivery is a massive improvement over the last video. Good job Layne and thanks very much for the video series!!
Layne, I really appreciate all the great content you put out, people are going to realize this if your content ever stopped for some reason. Also, the more I watch your videos and the more I learn, the less I feel like I know. Anyway, here's something I'd like addressed. If calories are equated (when in a slight caloric surplus ; say 50-200kcal over maintenance) if you get a higher % of your calories from protein, will that help limit fat gain since protein is harder to turn into fat? Or will it not matter and you will just store the fat you do ingest? Using myself as an example; would these macro breakdowns make a difference (Calories 2755, P198, C318, F76 OR Calories 2755, P250, C266, F76). I look forward to your answer and keep the great content coming. Much love
Refer to the first video in the series. From my understanding the issue isn't truly in whether protein is harder to store as fat (even though this might be the case? - layne help), but is rather in the TEF of protein. The TEF of protein is higher (like 30%) so you're burning more calories on a high protein diet which effects your energy balance. That is, you won't store as much fat because your total calories burned throughout the day is larger compared to a low protein diet.
These vidéos are amazing!!! Thank you for taking the time to make these. I feel a bit overwhelmed at the information because I have zero science background but I am trying to get the gist!!!!
He's always been an idol of mine even before he got his p.hd back in the bodybuilding.com community before primecuts was even made. Very well educated, I've learned a lot from him over the years, he's still an inspiration of mine to this day.
Nice video. I don't agree with some of your tactics on maintaining health through diet, but this series is worth watching just for the scientific understanding 😊
Awesome videos Layne, keep them up. When someone is prepping for a show how do you usually break down their macros %wise and also do you simply add more cardio once they hit a very low caloric input. Thank you.
Layne, so, if total energy and protein are being tracked, does the ratio of carbs and fats that I am eating, be it for bulking or cutting, makes a difference in the long run? In other words, is trying to eat a minimum amount of fat, like many "bros" preach, a waste of time, if you are controlling for total energy?
The only good thing about eating a certain grams of fat is to help your body maintain its hormones which can make you feel better. It's so crazy how easy it really is. Everyone preaches how insulin, high carbs, suger, artificial sweetners, etc will make you gain fat no matter what but ot all depends on energy in energy out (CICO) if you don't eat enough calories, nothing you eat will get stored at fat no matter what time of day or night you eat it. Thank you Layne for all the complex information in a easy to understand way.
This was such an awesome video, thank you! Very informative. So i have a few questions, would it be better for weights training to access glycogen on a higher carb low fat diet because of the higher insulin? And then how much does your own genetic makeup and hormone levels come into to play when storing fat? Is it just common sense? For eg, higher cortisol would mean more fat would be stored regardless of intake? Or is what you presented the general rule of thumb with fat storage, high insulin means more % of fat stored, thanks again bro
Do the constant high insulin fluctuations caused by high carb diets impact our bodies ability to store fat vs a more reserved carb intake? Anecdotally, ive found my body fat levels drop off rapidly with a more reserved 100g of carb intake per day.
Layne, I’m not sure you respond much here. I have been on keto for about a year, lost 57 pounds. I admit that the experts on keto did have me believing that insulin was very bad. Still, keto kept me on the straight and narrow and did help me focus on healthy eating and oils that are better for you thank canola, etc. I know this is all in debate on what is good and what isn’t good food. So, two weeks ago I started flexible dieting. I do enjoy the fact that I can eat things I’ve been depriving myself for so long, such as yogurt and fruit, cereal, oatmeal. I am finding it challenging to get my fats from over 150 grams to about 50-60 per day. Complete change. I still don’t understand how many carbs I should eat every day to lose weight. I believe my maintenance calories are 2250, because I am 150 pounds, 5’8 male. So I’m trying to eat in a 300-500 calorie deficit each day, but having been low carb for so long, and not having to worry anymore, I find it hard to understand how many carbs are too much. I do train with weights 5 days a week and do cardio, 40 minutes a day and abs almost daily. I hope the 1700-1800 calories is not too little to lose muscle. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Thank you Layne! I’m kinda a nerd 🤓 but not on this topic. You kept super Scientific but easy to understand. Looking forward to cutting after maintaining my 30 week Reverse 🙌🏾👙
Layne, in the context of someone doing Intermittent fasting, typically the first meal of the day causes a high insulin peak. If our goal is to remain lean, would you advise that meal to have both moderate carbs and fats (knowing this might cause more fat to be stored), or high carbs and low fat, keeping the fats fore the following meals whose insulin peaks would be smaller?
Why does everyone obsessed so much over insulin? All of this stuff has been shown to make zero difference when calories and protein are equated between diets
Not an obsession. You asked for those with questions, to make them. I had one, so i did. Eric Helms´ nutrition pyramid shows that total calories and macros distribution are the more important ones, but on the upper part, there is indeed timing that relates to insuline effect. Even if minimal, it seems he considers it makes a slight difference. Appartently you don't. As you can see, two different theories. That's why the "obsession", just trying to gather knowledge
but IF usually means around 14-16h of not eating, which will cause a higher insulin peak on the first meal and theoretically an increased capacity of storing fat. So my doubt was if making with moderate fat would cause an increased fat storage
Insulin/Fat Oxidation always evens out. If you had a massive insulin response from a high carb meal, you would lower fat oxidation yes, but the insulin response doesn't last that long, it comes and goes quickly. If you had a balanced meal, insulin wouldn't peak as high, but it would remain somewhat elevated for a longer period.
I'm considered obese, i lost 70 pounds doing a deficit, but a lot times I would come to a plateau or gain while on this deficit, I found few videos explaining insulin and now I stop snacking between meals and stop eating after 6pm till the next morning, still on a deficit and the fat burning engine is on again. slow but it's on. 💪👌 😊
@biolayne The hormonal component....based on what you're saying, why is that once women go through menopause, women who formerly had no problem maintaining their ideal BMI often suddenly find the pounds accumulating, no matter what. I, and many of my other active and fit friends, have lived this. Been fit and worked out my whole life, ate relatively clean and never EVER had a weight issue. After 45, bam....I started gaining. After 50, I had gained 10 lbs (from my stable, pre-menopause weight) that will not move. The complex hormonal system of the female body seems geared to preserve whatever estrogen stores possible, post-menopause. Fat storage is part of this. How do we address this?
Beth Rizzo Girl! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Yes to this! I’m forever searching all sources to find info on weight loss & female hormones. I’m 48 & about 5 years ago the weight creep happened. I’ve gained about 20lbs that won’t budge no matter how much effort I put into energy inputs or outputs. It’s highly frustrating to go from 120# and 22% bf to 140# and 30% bf. As the female hormones decrease, cortisol increases and along with that comes insulin resistance. So most intense fat burning exercise increases cortisol & this is a problem for us ladies. I haven’t figured out how to decrease body fat/weight in this state yet. I did listen to a podcast (Cut The Fat) that said walking is an activity that doesn’t elevate cortisol & women burn a higher % of bf than men during this activity. I’ve been walking 3-4 miles 5-6 days per week for 4months now and so far I’m not losing much of anything except the time it takes to do this activity! 😩 WTF happened to my body?!?!
Hi Layne! I understand it’s all about the balance! What I’m curious about is how do your equations change based on types of carbs taken in or type of fat taken in? For instance - a vegetable v a soda? Or healthy fats v trans fats? I know that the more your food is nutritious and packed with nutrients, the better but I would love to understand the science behind why! How would this affect your total energy input if you’re eating healthy foods v non healthy foods but in the same amount of energy in (for example: 200 calories of healthy v 200 calories of unhealthy foods). Thanks! Loving your videos!
Hey Layne, if DNL is insignificant, how can one store body fat when in a caloric surplus diet that's high on carbs while keeping dietary fat to a minimum? Can we get away with overeating on carbs without gaining fat, as long as fats are kept low enough? Thanks for the great content you're bringing!!!!
Layne, loving the videos. Have always followed your principles of nutrition. My one curiosity question for you is EAS athlete jason Whittrock’s 4000 calorie challenge. Bumped his calories up 1000+ from one day to the next for several weeks with no fat gain on keto. Just was wondering your 2 cents on it all. (Set point, adaption, other). Thank you again and exited for the rest of the series! Ps will you be at the Arnold?
Carbohydrates turning into fat is a pretty small amount. I tried a low fat diet and even in a calory surplus I didn't put weight on I just began to sweat and have more energy. I reduce calories and I slowly lost weight. I actually found low carb to be better because you end up less hungry as your insulin levels drop.
So, basically, if you are in a caloric deficit, high fat low carb will allow you to burn fat faster, but if you are in a caloric surplus, high carb stores less fat.
If you’re say burning 170g fat and storing 30g fat out of the 200g that comes in with that example, doesn’t that mean your overall body fat is increasing by 30g? That’s confusing me with fat intake vs fat oxidation.
Conclusion: If you eat high carb low fat, you will be storing more of the fat you eat and oxidize less fat, but you also have less fat in your diet to store. If you eat high fat low carb, you have more fat to store, but you also have higher fat oxidation. So... just track your calories, regardless of what you eat, and also eat a larger percentage of protein and fiber for thermic effect and filling qualities?
So in order to get gluconeogenesis going, we need to put fat into adipose tissue as a triglyceride then it becomes fatty acids and it can ONLY then be used for energy? Ppl think we can burn fat like protein and carbs! Thanks for this

In other words, is trying to eat a minimum amount of fat, like many "bros" preach, a waste of time, if you are controlling for total energy?

Not when calories are equated
He has a video about this already
biolayne the trick is of course to equate calories and this function is being lost in this world of processed foods..
Perhaps its more of a perceived body fat drop rather than actual ‘fat’ as water retention reduces on the low carb diet?
Love your mind I’ve learned so much from you!! Can you focus in on high carbs and how high or when does weight gain begin with a high carb diet🙌🏼
You are my hero! Great job!

Insulin/Fat Oxidation always evens out. If you had a massive insulin response from a high carb meal, you would lower fat oxidation yes, but the insulin response doesn't last that long, it comes and goes quickly. If you had a balanced meal, insulin wouldn't peak as high, but it would remain somewhat elevated for a longer period.

How would this affect your total energy input if you’re eating healthy foods v non healthy foods but in the same amount of energy in (for example: 200 calories of healthy v 200 calories of unhealthy foods). Thanks! Loving your videos!
Lane, what if we balance fat and carbs while maintaining high protein?
What is the first fat is going to leave the body ? visceral fat? Or subcutaneous fat?
Hey Layne, if DNL is insignificant, how can one store body fat when in a caloric surplus diet that's high on carbs while keeping dietary fat to a minimum? Can we get away with overeating on carbs without gaining fat, as long as fats are kept low enough? Thanks for the great content you're bringing!!!!
Layne, loving the videos. Have always followed your principles of nutrition. My one curiosity question for you is EAS athlete jason Whittrock’s 4000 calorie challenge. Bumped his calories up 1000+ from one day to the next for several weeks with no fat gain on keto. Just was wondering your 2 cents on it all. (Set point, adaption, other). Thank you again and exited for the rest of the series!
Ps will you be at the Arnold?
How does the body respond to healthy fats from veggies and nuts compared to unhealthy fats in animal products?
Carbohydrates turning into fat is a pretty small amount. I tried a low fat diet and even in a calory surplus I didn't put weight on I just began to sweat and have more energy. I reduce calories and I slowly lost weight. I actually found low carb to be better because you end up less hungry as your insulin levels drop.
i love the series, i hope we can see more of these videos, GREAT CONTENT!!!!! thanks mr norton
So, basically, if you are in a caloric deficit, high fat low carb will allow you to burn fat faster, but if you are in a caloric surplus, high carb stores less fat.
You are really underrated
If you’re say burning 170g fat and storing 30g fat out of the 200g that comes in with that example, doesn’t that mean your overall body fat is increasing by 30g? That’s confusing me with fat intake vs fat oxidation.
Conclusion: If you eat high carb low fat, you will be storing more of the fat you eat and oxidize less fat, but you also have less fat in your diet to store. If you eat high fat low carb, you have more fat to store, but you also have higher fat oxidation.
So... just track your calories, regardless of what you eat, and also eat a larger percentage of protein and fiber for thermic effect and filling qualities?
helpful, thanks...
So in order to get gluconeogenesis going, we need to put fat into adipose tissue as a triglyceride then it becomes fatty acids and it can ONLY then be used for energy? Ppl think we can burn fat like protein and carbs! Thanks for this
Doesn't layne remind anyone else of Charlie Day in this 😂 great vid!
How does MCT oil fit into this?
I know it's digested slightly differently, but dont know the specifics.
Does this mean that I will store more fat from a meal with carbohydrates and fat than I do from a meal with the same calories, but just carbohydrates?
