      why are you then providing information on fat LOSS, while according to to your video (ruclips.net/video/QD64IbRyNv0/видео.html) you've struggled with muscle GAIN. So you're probably way different from the people that want to lose fat, and so you might just be adding to the confusion :(

      Never dieted in my life though have done ketosis as it is a metabolic state & not a diet as I was instructed by my GP to do so for a time which the benefits were minor to modest.
      The One thing I always limited my consumption was sugar though I halved my starch consumption replacing it with fat, fibre & other food sources as I aged because I can't sustain what I once did as a child or young man.
      I think one of the leading causes for people weight gain & poor physique is one reason being 'sugar'.
      I never had a sweet tooth like most while my mother was the opposite which she mimicked my eating habits in time & lost multiple stones though she can't help but eat chocolate for hidden sugar she is far better off.
      My rule is the same as my Cockney elders which is ''waste not, want not'', ''you are what you eat'' & ''variety is the spice of life''
      What Most do is they think their is 1 super food & they waste so much in their pantry because they buy fruit & vegetables they pretend to eat fooling themselves.
      If it is quality grub & not the same thing every day then I eat it though I have no sweet tooth making my life easy.
      You have to break that sweet tooth as my brother is of the same genetics to me but is overweight.
      People tell of the health issues of smoking, alcohol etcetera but I'd argue excessive sugar is the real life ender.

Years after I was still in a cycle of sports bulimia and binge eating, I tried veganism, was scared of "unnatural" food. In my 30s now I've given up on the idea that I'll ever fully recover and be able to eat normally, I still count calories but manage to stay at around the same weight although I'm vulnerable to phases stress eating or subsisting for coffee for days.

    I feel like most people forget that everyone digests food different. What can be „good“ for one is quite damaging for the other. I am gluten intolerant, that doesn’t mean that gluten in and of itself is bad. It’s just not good for me.
    Humans forgot to listen to their bodily cues - and I feel like each and every person should spend some time to ask themselves „how does my body react to different food types?“
    There are more universal effects (e.g. Having „bad“ reactions to too much processed foods) and more unique and niche reactions (like being gluten intolerant). At the end of the day, it is important to know how your own body reacts to food stimuli - only then will it be possible to hack your behavior with the goal of feeling your best.

    Nutrition isn't easy, but I feel like many of these diets stem from inner denial and cognitive dissonance of what you really have to do. I know it sounds basic, but eating less (especially of things like soda and mcdonalds) and exercising more really are the answer. Not cutting out entire food groups, depriving yourself of nutrients, or doing weird cleanses you got from a shady influencer. It's hard work to change your habits over a long period of time, but it really is the answer.
    I'm not perfect, I still have lapses where I eat a crap ton of cupcakes at a party, but over the past year I've finally worked away from my stress eating and binging and I've started making homemade meals and exercising 1-2 hours a day. I really enjoy and look forwards to daily nature walks, and I'm not constantly thinking about food as much. To all those out here who are struggling, I'm rooting for you!

What works for me is everything in moderation, no food is forbidden, I just eat more of the healthy foods. Right now I'm at a point in my fitness and health journey where I don't need to loose any more fat, I'm so happy with my body and what it can do, so I find it easy to tune out all the noise of all these fad diets and cults.

    What dealing with anorexic and orthorexic behaviour has taught me so far is:
    Fats, Carbs, Protein all have use and can be part of a healthy diet.
    Constantly thinking and researching what foods to rule out and what foods to eat for optimal health can be a lot more stressful and harming for a person than eating food that is not very nutrient dense occasionally or even for a burst of time.
    Whenever I slip into a Burnout I tend to not eat anything except for protein bars e.g because the immense irrational fear of "unhealthy" foods overshadows the rationale of eating whatever being more healthy than not eating.
    I now have learned that eating industry bullshit is not healthy but far more healthy than starving (surprise)
    Frozen veggie blends safed my ass because you can pop them in the microwave for ~10 minutes and you have a bowl of steamed veggies ready to consume.
    Also a well formulated multivitamin taken with something fatty like nuts will be beneficial for anyone not having the energy or mental capacity to eat vitamin dense foods (a lil fat makes fat soluble vitamins far more bioavailable for absorption, which can be essential for some kinds of vegan diets)

      Telling a person that to their dear life obviously struggles with eating, let alone eating a nutritionally sufficient amount or complex of foods just to eat real food might sound reasonable but afaik it most likely isn't (to the extent of my personal experience with ed and what I observed in others).

    Great work yet again! Your information is always appreciated.
    I once lost 67 pounds in 2 months eating one jack in the box chicken sandwich for lunch and a quarter of a seedless watermelon for dinner. No breakfast, no snacks, that was it for 2 months straight. That's aprox 700 calories a day, and almost no nutrition.
    This changed my brain chemistry and the results were so fast. I wouldn't listen to anyone about what I was doing. Going from mid 170s to 105lbs had acquaintances asking other friends if I was sick, close relatives were very worried, but it didn't matter. This was working and I wasn't going to stop.
    I started to faint if I stood up too quickly, I started to have nightmares, my joints hurt....but I still felt fat.
    The only thing that knocked my back to reality was having to call my dad to remove the oil drain bolt on my car as I could not get it off, even with a long wrench. Not being able to change my damn oil brought it all into focus and I started eating again.
    This was well over 2 decades ago but even now I have odd health problems that I think are here forever. I have problems with my ATP cycle resulting in all kinds of issues.
    Most of us think "that would never happen to me" but in my case all it took was a bet with a friend to lose the most weight in 60 days. I won my a landslide....and I'm still paying for that "win" to this day over 20 yrs later.

    Butter consists of 70% saturated fat, 25% monounsaturated fats, 5 to 10% trans fatty acids, and 1 to 2% polyunsaturated fats.
    Realistically, butter should have 2 ingredients. Milk, and salt. That's it. The other problem is what the animals are fed, like gmo corn, or the antibiotics. etc.
    Margarine is made from a mixture of vegetable oil, and water.
    Margarine consists of a water-in-fat emulsion, with tiny droplets of water dispersed uniformly throughout a fat phase in a stable solid form. While butter is made by concentrating the butterfat of milk through agitation, modern margarine is made through a more intensive processing of refined vegetable oil and water.

      This is blatantly false. The only reason the average age was like 30 was because of infant mortality. If you survived the first couple years then you would almost certainly live to be at least 80. And average life span has been going down in recent years by all metrics. It makes perfect sense to look at what your ancestors ate for thousands of years with no problems instead of trusting what new processed thing the government or food corporations tell you is actually healthy meanwhile everyone is obese and unhealthy.

    The worst and most destructive diet zealot and cultist was Ancel Keys. His dietary ideology has probably caused the premature death of at least hundreds of millions. Yet this diet is respectable and is considered moderate and balanced. As more Americans have followed the advice of Keys and his acolytes, every category of disease has increased over the generations.
    Compare that to the keto diet, for example. There has been more than a century proving the efficacy of the keto diet for numerous health conditions: epilepsy, mental illness, dementias, autoimmune disorders, metabolic diseases, etc. So, why is an evidence-based diet like this called a fad? And why does there continue to be so much profit for high-carb diets?
