First, a message for Barry, and then a message for everyone watching this video> Barry -Thank you very much for making and posting this video. I appreciate the effort that went into this. Stay awesome. Everyone else- I believe that Barry is the real deal. I think that he genuinely cares about helping folks. So, lets support this bloke and get after it!
Calorie counting can go so long, first of all its a lot of work most people will stop doing it, secondly is how do you actually measure calories? and what is happening metabolically in our bodies to trigger far burn when you count calories if you even can? Yes eating less leads to weight loss,, but how does counting calories put ur body in a state of fat burning? In which, you have to switch from the state of glucose burning to burning fat? How about hormones, How do they play in all this? What tells your body that by eating less than 1500 calories to start burning stored fat? What about brown fat and white fat? How about fasting?? What does that do to your body? Is that a better more measurable approach to loosing weight maybe?
The role of counting calories is to take your awareness of calories consumed from a 2/10 to a 8/10. (You can never have full accuracy) Having heightened awareness over that amount of calories you consume makes it far more likely you'll consume less kcals than you burn on average, which means fat loss happens. This is why you see people consistently lose weight when they start calorie tracking. We don't actually need to eat any particular food to put ourselves in a fat burning state. We burn fat every day, regardless of what we eat as it's a good source of energy. We also use glucose for fuel. Sometimes at the same time. We also gain fat almost every day (energy storage) Because of this, the aim is only to make sure we burn more fat than we gain, which can happen consistently in a calorie deficit. There's 100's of ways to promote this deficit, but calorie counting is just one proven, predictable way.
Calories is like the most important thing for losing weight. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you. If you think you're on a calorie deficit and not losing weight then you're not in a calorie deficit and you have to either reduce your calories further or make sure you're tracking everything like oils and snacks. Not everyone has the same metabolism so TDEE calculators aren't always accurate and calorie tracking watches have been shown to overestimate how much you're burning by as much as 50%. Literally thousands of controlled studies have shown that when calories are equated and people are put on different diets, they tend to lose the same amount of weight. I doesn't matter how long you fast or whether you're spiking your insulin or your hormones or whatever other bullshit people talk about, they lose roughly the same amount of weight. I'm talking about THOUSANDS of studies.
