    calorie counting doesn’t have to be restrictive. when I was bulking to gain more muscle, I counted calories to make sure I was eating enough. calorie counting is a tool, and like any tool it can be used to fuel bad habits. however, blaming the concept of calorie counting shifts attention from the underlying issue. calories and counting them aren’t bad. calories are energy.

      same!!! i struggle to eat enough food because I have a habit of ignoring my hunger so tracking what i am eating helps me keep track of how much I've actually eaten (which is usually too little) so i can gauge my progress throughout the day. Calorie counting for someone who's bulking is such a useful tool and it's how I got to the healthy weight range and stabilized my hormones. I hate when people are shocked that I track my food because they only think of it as restricting. Calorie counting for me is hitting a target minimum, not avoiding a maximum. People can't empathize!!! They always tell me to just "eat a lot" as if I didn't think I was when i was skinnier. I had "big meals" that felt big to me but over a day, i didn't eat enough in total. People are very ignorant!!! "Don't track just eat more" shut up!!!!

Spot on about food marketing/the health "halo" though. I highly recommend reading "Burn" by Herman Pontzer and "The Hungry Brain" by Stephan Guyenet.

      For sure! I eat out a lot, not by choice but I don't have an oven or stove in my studio apartment. A lot of takeaway isn't necessarily unhealthy but it can have wayyy more oil or carbs, which is fine but I need to moderate it. I think it comes down to not demonizing food groups, like everything in moderation is okay. I gotta track though because if I didn't I'd have NO CLUE how much I was eating. When I used to live at home it was a lot easier to eat intuitively because it was all home cooked meals.

      yes using calorie counting app (that also counts protein, fats and carbs) has somewhat helped me with my disorted eating. I used to be so scared of food to the point i wasnt eating, because i had no idea how much and what i was eating and then that starving resulted in binge eating which ended up being an endless loop. It has made me more conscious of what i am eating and how much, which helps me to not be afraid of eating, and also helps me to be mindful of eating meals that both satisfy me and keep me feeling full. Even tho i still sometimes "slip" and go back to my old habits of disorted eating for a while, this still has helped me alot

    Counting calories helps me stay healthy, not skinny.
    I have a genetically high ghrelin and binge eating disorder. Double win! My whole family has a high BMI, some of them have health problems or eating disorders.
    When you have high ghrelin, you don't feel full until your stomach hurts from eating too much. I can eat a whole pizza and still feel hungry. And when you have binge eating disorder, you have a strong mental connection between food and your emotional state. I visit CBT and endocrinologist by the way. This is not self-diagnosis.
    Intuitive eating only works for healthy people. And high ghrelin is not an exotic diagnosis, a huge number of people have it. The same goes for binge eating disorder.
    Just because people on tiktok use calorie counting to hurt themselves doesn't mean calorie counting is evil for everyone.

    I use to binge eat and counting calories honestly saved me. I was eating all day everyday and for a period of 3 years I gained between 15 to 20kg every year and I was so miserable, it had to stop. I first started eating at maintenance. Did that for about a year and then I cut 300, lost 10kg and cut 100 more, etc. I'm still not at the weight that is healthy for my height and I am almost 180cm tall (6 foot). I now eat at 2000 calories and exercise 3-4 times a week. I eat whatever I want to. For about a week I survived off of toast and butter because that was what I craved lol. Didn't keep me full but kept me happy. I eat a lot more balanced now and I feel better than ever. Calorie counting is a good tool if you use it properly and I really hate how people just associate it with these extreme dieters and an eating disorder. It can help as well.

    I just wanna pop on here and say that calorie counting DOES work for some of people. I understand that for many it can create a negative mind space, and if that's you then obviously don't do it, but being in a (SLIGHT!) calorie defect is how you lose weight, it's just that simple. Obviously, what types of calories you're eating also plays a huge huge roll, but calorie counting really helps me personally (like you were saying about everyone's health being different) and it makes me a little sad to see people think that even counting calories in a healthy way means you have some kind of disorder or something, y'know? I love sweet potatoes and arugula and chicken and quinoa and salmon AND indulging in a slice of chocolate cake sometimes. And, I do this all while counting calories. It's not always a bad thing, just depends on the person.

      Better to just do what they do for hospital meals. Most of the meal is the staple of the country (bread, pasta, rice, etc.) for carbohydrates, two pieces of lean meat (often chicken breast or fish or even grilled meat kebabs) or beans for protein, a section of stewed vegetables, a fresh fruit or unsweetened fruit juice, a box of milk or yogurt, etc. Often a salad on the side. Try to cover your bases and eat balanced meals, so you aren't deficient. Hospital meals often do include breaded and fried chicken or fish [again, always just two pieces], or even a slice of lasagna, we just don't have it every day or every meal. All things in moderation. ^^

      how big are you now and how tall can I ask? bc 2.5 seems like a lot of calories unless you have a super active lifestyle! low fat/low cal food can be detrimental in long run as its full of shit ingredients that on the surface are all these bonuses but fuck you up long term. maybe its a culture thing? I think diet/lite versions are eaten a lot less in UK and certainly France where half my family from, and indulging occasionally in full fat versions is healthier than every day diet version imo. not at YOU specifically now, but I think there also needs to be an awareness/shift from "needing" that shit, just save it for the weekend and actually be healthy in food choices not just cop out and eat diet versions of junk food.

I work out 5-6 days a week now and regularly eat carbs and fats. I still eat ice cream and cookies and things too. Balance of nutrients and moderation were the key. It's not a very sexy solution and it takes a lot of time (took me 2 years), but it's so worth it.
    Edit: Still continuing to lose weight to lean out now with a goal of building more muscle. I've cut down my workouts to 2 light cardio sessions per week, and high intensity weightlifting every 4-7 days. I'm way stronger now and it feels great to look good in clothes.

    As someone in semi recovery of anorexia and bulimia I need to count calories or else I'd either not eat at all or demolish every single food item I can get my hands on and well bulimia, so get rid of it. This causes me to lose weight faster than anything and I'd end up in hospital (again) probably due to electrolyte imbalances, which I have almost died from several times.
    Might sound exaggerated, but calorie counting saves me and keeps me at a functional, healthy weight and mental place.
    Conclusion: For some people calorie counting is a life saver. Especially for some (!!!) people with EDs it can give reassurance that the "right" amount of food is eaten, since many of us lose the intuitive feeling of how much should be eaten

    Hey Zoey, the absorption of calories is really the absorption of carbs based off fiber intake in said food. There is soluble and insoluble fiber that effects how carbs are absorbed in digestion. I’m type one diabetic and have to count every single carb I eat to take insulin and stay alive everyday. I take less insulin for a high fiber meals then I would for a low fiber meal with the same amount of carbs (for example a meal of beans and quinoa with veggies vs pasta). While calories in calories out matter I’d argue people who eat a high carb (which converts to glucose during digestion) diet with little fiber intake are going to struggle with weight loss more then a person who consumes a high protein high fiber diet with the same calorie count at the end of the day.
    Edit: also fun fact teens and young adults with type one diabetes are more likely to develop eating disorders then people without the disease. I can’t not count carbs ever and constantly have to focus on food and it’s been my whole life.

So I ate really much food every day but this food was really low in calories so I didn't gain any weight. When I changed that I suddenly started to gain weight and after 2 months I finally wasn't underweight anymore and reached my ideal weight 2 years later.

      And I truly hate the talk about everyone having their own shape. Sure enough height and bone structure as well as the genetic influence of where exactly fat deposits first, will determine a general shape but body at 130lbs is as much my own as that which I had at 200lbs.

    I‘m 16 and recovering from bulimia, a year and a half ago there Started to be a lot of calorie talk etc. in my environment not only family but also school. Eventually it got to me and I started counting calories until it became an obsession, and obsession fed my the feeling of control. My life was all over the place and even after I lost a lot of weight I felt miserable, I didn’t control shit I was being controlled by my ed. I’m glad that one day I realized I couldn’t keep living like that, it’s not easy and I might have to live with it for the rest of my life but recovery is worth it!

    It's almost like if you're a healthy weight you don't need to obsess over your calories . . . ? At a time where overweight/obese bodies outnumber healthy bodies I don't think discounting calorie counting is the most intelligent argument to make 😂 Sorry to say Zoe, but you're talking about something you yourself don't need, and so as a thicker girl who needs to calorie count to be anywhere close to healthy I feel I must say: we're not using calorie counting to starve, as you're suggesting. If people were, we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic. There's a strange skinny girl obsession with being rail thin, that's not calorie counting's fault, that's a personal self image issue.

  • @scarykloky519
    @scarykloky519 Год назад +8

    While the sentiment in the video is good and mostly factual there is a large chunk of perspective missing. Sure dieting and calorie counting can do more harm than good mentally and physically if you are in the average (or below) weight spectrum but it is an important tool for many. ex. obese people. The standard American diet is excessive in calories and lacks essential macro and micronutrients and we see the results with 40% of US adults being obese, and that is not an issue of aesthetics but an issue of health. Diet culture is bullshit, weight loss shouldn't be about aesthetics, I would even argue that its lifestyle changes one should strive for not dieting (but that is more of a semantic argument). Still, calories in themselves aren't the devil incarnated.

    • @scarykloky519
      @scarykloky519 Год назад

      I will also add for those curious that the 1200 to 1600 cal diets usually come from the misconception of basal metabolic rate. BMR calorie consumption is not the smallest amount of calories to survive in day-to-day life, it's the smallest amount of calories to survive while laying in bed and doing nothing.

Hiding food and eating a whole tub of pringles with sauce was a common thing but I would've rather had the earth open and swallow me up than admit it. There have been many, maaaany trips to the garbage to hide various wrappers that would make it clear to everyone in the house that I was eating whole bars of chocolate and so on.
      I've seen no one with the supposed magic metabolism, eating consistently 800kcal and never losing weight. What I do often see is people eating 800 for 3 days, giving up and demolishing a fastfood menu.. or two. Which just balances the energy and we're back to square 1.

      calorie calculators dont work and are innacurate because they dont consider an individuals specific TD, NEAT, TDEE, BMR, etc, which is different for most. They also factor in physical activity using generalistic descriptions that can't match everyone's lifestyle. the best way to find the calories you should be eating is to record everything you eat normally (no restrictions just intuitive eating) and then average those out and also log your weight throughout the process. if your weight stays the same, those are your maintenance calories and to be in a bulk or a cut is just the matter of adding or subtracting 200-300 calories. 800 calories imo is still insane, but i also have to question how you found your tdee that low 😭 im a similar height to you and the avg amount of calories for me to stay the same weight is about 1850-9000, but you def know yourself better than i do lol

Maybe your TDEE is 1300 if you sit all day (no judgement here I work a desk job and sit 8hrs a day).

With the amount of calories that burn every day, I can eat well over 2000 cal everyday and still be in a calorie deficit. I don’t even have to do too much to change my daily routine to get into the calorie deficit, just going to the gym more and working out. I don’t understand the logic of eating so little in a day.

Shorter women who don't have an active lifestyle or much time to work out are going to need to eat a lot less than 2000 to be in a deficit.
