I limited my carb intake to the lowest possible because of epilepsy and dropped 40lbs without trying. I was very overweight before, but weight loss wasn’t my goal, just a nice surprise.
For epilepsy treatment, they push you to the brink of low-carb high-fat diets, a very extreme form of keto with 90% fat, 10% protein and very low carbs, if at all. The fat is so high they literally feed it through a tube. No wonder you dropped weight.
@@iAmDislikingEveryShort I think its surprising how much one can lose- I stopped drinking and lost probably 20kg in a few months without changing anything at all else in my diet or lifestyle. It's obviously common knowledge that carbs and booze are bad for you but when you actually feel the results it brings it home.
As a guy who has always been overweight: i have found that the one thing that gets me to exercise most: i got a dog, and i actually care about his well being. This means i am basically forced to take him on two walks a day. Each walk is about 0.58 miles. It's not much, but it is a lot of exercise over time: enough to lose 20 lbs in a year. Also: having a dog means you care for his needs over your own. You may find yourself snacking less often.
You are on point. I got a kitten when I came home from surgery. Every day I would carry him and walk a little bit up the street. Now he walks on a harness and our morning walk is my favourite time of the day. His life us my responsibility and I pushed myself to care for him. I am glad you have your pup. 🐶 take it easy and congratulations 🎊
Well this video is immediately more effective in teaching me the science behind weight than any other video I've watched on the subject! Thank you! Keep up the good work!
You can eat an entire bag of chips or cookies in two days. Says the person who isn't fat. Personally I can finish either of those in 2 minutes. And then go looking for something else to eat
@@leee3880 Just because you don't get fat doesn't mean you're safe. one of the alarming signs of danger you have is the high levels of triglycerides. With time the body will become glucose insensitive since the insulin it secretes cannot much the level of sugar in the blood. So just lower your chips intake and all refined products.
I'm not sure the average person who eats 2500 calories in carbs per day is going to want to put in the work of to burn 3k calories... actually the data is out there to support that they don't want to do it... sadly.
4:20 "Protein and fat are both higher in calories than carbohydrates" This is untrue; carbs and protein contain 4 calories per gram, and fat is 9 calories per gram.
It heavily depends on the kind of food too. But it's safe to say a fatty food like olive oil heavily outranks everything in terms of caloric density. Dry pasta and cereals on the other hand have between 310-370 calories per 100g whereas meat and other protein sources can have very different calories depending on the amount of fat they come with and their moisture. Cured and deli meats are way more calorie dense than their fresh counterpart.
@@GabrielWarlockit’s pretty simple. 1 gram of carbs is 4 calories. Same goes for protein. 1 gram of fats is 9 calories. If you have a steak with 20 grams of fat and 80 grams of protein, you’re gonna have 500 calories from that steak. There’s also water content in a lot of animal and plant based products so a 1lb piece of meat may only contain around 150-200 total grams of fat/protein combined instead of the ~440 grams in a pound because the extra weight is just water
All amino acids have different amounts of energy, the usual mix is 4.6 kcal/g. However, 25% of this goes to TEF, so the net energy content of protein is 3.5 kcal/g.
I love carbs, i generally eat bread/whole grains when I’m on calorie deficit. They’re more filling than fruits/veggies when it comes to the same number of calories
I could eat a jar of peanut butter while watching Blinkist. Especially in a mix of regular butter. It has that classic roasted plus mild cake mix taste.
Tip: Eat more eggs. Also do RESISTANCE TRAINING over CARDIO. Resistance training, calisthenics, weightlifting, etc all cause muscle to become more refined and build muscle mass. By adding more muscle you are creating more opportunity for your body to burn extra energy and calories. Cardio just burns a set amount of calories, at that moment. So using the 'fire' metaphor; adding muscle is like adding more firepits. Cardio is just repeatedly adding fuel to your single firepit.
Cardio and RT are both useful. RT increases the size of mitochondria whereas cardio increases the number of mitochondria. This is not particularly important in weight loss, none of this will help if you're not in a caloric deficit. But it helps a lot in terms of general health
Complex carbs also break down into sugar, it just occurs more gradually because they're longer chains of polysaccharides. So, for someone with insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia, they'll still cause weight gain and must also be factored into a reduced carb diet. We have to eat some carbs, so it's always better to choose complex vs simple, but it's misinformation to dismiss them as not being involved in weight gain. Higher fiber content is alao beneficial because those grams of fiber aren't metabolized and so don't spike the blood glucose levels.
I don't understand why everyone hates on carbs? i have been lifting for around 2 years consistently now and weigh around 165 at 5'10. I have been fat 2 times in my life and it was simply just because I was eating too many calories. Lmao matter a fact me and my friend got to 10-11% body fat while I ate 2 bagels everyday. Around 250 carbs a day. And yes i mean any carbs, i am around 13% bodyfat right now on a leanish bulk and eat cinnamon toast crunch. If you want to lose weight it's not about what you eat but how much you eat.
I still consume carbs but I always try to make sure on the nutritional label that protein is higher than carbs or fat amount. It does get a bit tricky when you also have to factor calories, sodium, and sugar into it though.
I'm a hard gainer and my metabolism is like fire. I eat until my stomach dies and I'm happy if i add some weight in the process. Recently I start using high caloric food and feel better.
Our bodies are pre-determined to love these easy of access energy sources, but since we didn’t have access to them 24/7 back when we were cave-men, it becomes a problem when we eat too much of them.
@@mncdssctn9110 Thank you! Finally someone who says it! That's also the reason why diets that are high in carbs and low in fat have people feel hungry every 2-3 hours and the opposite types of diets have people been able to go a lot of hours without been hungry!
Whenever I give advice about losing weight to someone, first thing I say is cut out the liquid calories for a few months first without changing anything else. Water only, sprinkled in with tea, black coffee or no sugar soft drink. It's scary how much sugar is hidden in drinks that aren't water. I've never been overweight, but for sports I've had to lean down and cutting out the liquid calories melted the body fat off me.
I am very skinny and don't worry about weight at all but your video was awesome: it highly aggregate in a short period and makes anybody hungry for more
Nice profile picture 😏 I still need to get more into dead can dance but what I have heard from them was good. Absolutely love the style that's similar to This mortal coil and Cocteau twins

Could you please do a video on how our liver has a hard time processing fructose and how bad fructose is for us? Glucose can make us fat, Fructose poisons us and lowers the quality of our health. A slow acting poison for sure, but its adverse health effects are undeniable when you look at how the liver struggles to process it.
Fructose isn't inherently bad, and physiology wise, our liver needs it: - It helps replenish liver glycogen faster - It's used to neutralize several compounds by making them hydrophilic and available for blood transportation The problem with fructose is, always, when you're taking too much of it. At that point the risk is to get fatty liver and higher glycation values in blood tests. But for this to happen, you need first and foremost in a calorie surplus, which truly is the silent killer to rule them all.
I stopped eating chips and all similar kind of snacks, all types of sugars except fruits. At one point (after a month or so) so I had dreams where I was tasting the most delicious cakes ever made. It's been now 3 months and I still don't eat any kind of processed foods. I have lost maybe about 10lbs and have kept that weight now, I eat alot of protein containing foods, and nuts (the contain alot of calories and fats)
You should consider reinserting cake in your diet (not your everyday diet of course). Why? Because a sustainable approach beats the "perfect" approach by a significant margin.
@@GabrielWarlock I agree, and for most people that would be the way to go, but I view sugars just the same as cigarettes or worse. I got used to not eating sweets. And in my mind sugar only exists for sugar religious people. It still tastes good, for me too, I try it from time to time if an occasion presents itself. But the main thing and the most valuable lesson for all those who have learned that sugar=bad, is that when you go to the market to buy your groceries, or when you are a guest at some place, you view this as a sort of garbage, something inedible, something that you know other people consume because of dependancy or taste, but your relationship with sugar is completely changed. You feel like you stopped smoking or drinking too much, or taking drugs that are bad for you health. Its like you get out of that system forever, and you just do it for social occasions. And sustainable is very different for many people, if i told you I sustain myself on 7000$ a year you would think im crazy or lying. And for someone else 20 or 50 is barely manageable. In the end it always, always boils down to - what you know is truth and how much you want to be aligned with that truth.
@@Spandex08 Nothing of what you've said is crazy. I've had the same experience: I wanted to lose weight so bad I purged my diet of everything that was hyper processed or too dense in terms of calories. And it really felt good, although I kept one day a week for free meals where I could let myself go over everything I could desire. It was only recently that I realized that while that was a mandatory passage for me to mature a healthy way of eating, it couldn't last forever. I was pursuing an unsustainable model, that didn't account for unforeseen events or circumstances and that was slowly bringing me towards a toxic relationship with food. Sugar isn't bad, it's not a drug, it's not comparable to smoke or booze, not even a little. And my exclusion of it from my diet was turning me into an orthorexic mess. To this day, I simply count my calories and I challenge myself to make what I like fit within them. Whether it's a candy bar or a yogurt, everything is welcome. There's no real good and bad dichotomy in human nutrition, food is food, the only thing we should avoid is overeating.
Some of us, sadly - enter an addiction cycle even with complex carbs. I find (for me) carbs do nothing to fill me (even when mixed with proteins) until I'm physically full. Three pork chops and some low carb veggies in butter...done for 6 hours and even then I may just need a few cubes of cheese. ;) Just me!
You may lose more weight on a high-protein diet because your body spends more energy processing dietary protein than it does carbohydrates, Wycherley says. Think of it this way: If you eat 100 calories of protein, your body will burn about 20 to 30 of those calories while processing the protein, says Wycherley. Compare that to 100 calories of carbs, and your body only burns about 5 to 10 calories.
finally! a video that actually explains why diet and exercise are effective unlike other videos which would just tell you to do it to lose weight but not tell you how it works or that if that makes sense, i know understand the science behind diet and exercising!!!
You don’t need to. Just consumed 200-300 calories over maintenance (ideally nutrient dense food and not junk (junk food is still allowed)),high protein with each meal as well as following a progressive exercise plan and you’re golden 👍
carbs do not make you gain weight a calorie surplus does but sweets and chips are the worst kind of carbs to consume, eating potatoes and stuff like that is more satiating
It's a bit misleading the include crisps, biscuits and muffins as simple carbs that are easy to overeat. These are also high in fat. Addictive and calorie dense carby-fatty foods are the problem. People mostly aren't getting fat just eating pasta and sauce or white bread on its own.
5:45 when I used to weigh ~320lbs I could eat a jar and a half of peanut butter in bed easily, so, yes it's possible lmao Now I'm down to 210 and I had to stop buying peanut butter because I'll still go through a full jar in less than two full days every single time. It's also insanely hard to find peanut butter that doesn't have sugar as one of the first three listed ingredients, so it's best to just avoid it if you tend to over-indulge (or are clearly strangely addicted to it like me and have zero self-control whatsoever when a jar is opened)
Yes, they do. However the difference is that your body uses protein for practically everything. From reinforcing your immune system with new protective cells such as antibodies, to using it to build new tissue in case that you exercise regularly. Carbs, on the other hand, are entering your body in order to be broken down into the particles that act as energy stores. That's why it's easier to get fat from the abuse of simple carbs rather than protein abuse --being the last one extremely rare, but possible.
These videos are some of the best around. No waffling on, no BS, just straight science with great analogies and..... I've been eating too many carbs, and not exercising enough, as I stare down at my bubble tum. Need to walk more and a little more intensely too.
Awesome video! So by improving your muscle mass, you can actively store more "carbs", do you by any chance know what the effect of 1-kilo extra muscle mass is on your recommended carb intake? Probably not a completely linear relation but sounds interesting to know.
Calorie surplus makes you fat not carbs. Also just for a fyi if your ultimate goal is to lose fat you should be focusing on cutting fats over carbs as fats contain 9 calories per gram compared to the 4 calories per gram for protein and carbs. Protein and fibre are what keep you full not fat
lol did you even watch the video, he mentioned that simple carbs are less calorically dense therefore easier for the body to digest and makes you hungry again at a faster rate than fat and protein.
Nice accessible video on a topic like this. On a deeper level there is something else to note here that ties it all together. Carbohydrates in excess are converted to fat via denovolipogenesis, the fat which is made from this process is made up of stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid that has pro-diabetic and fatty liver promoting effects. Fructose stimulates de novo lipogenesis in much smaller quantities than glucose, so this effect will be worse when eating things that taste 'sweet' (and likely are fructose sweetened).
I got to 90kg when my ideal weight would be 76kg, it has been a week since i started my diet with lots of fiber and a moderate amount of protein, and little complex carbs, with a estimated calories intake of 1000kcal, no exercise due to a recent surgery, and im already at 87,20. Drastically reducing simple carbs intake is the key and limiting the calories intake is the key for weight loss, but beware that your brain will complain a lot about it, on the first days it was hard to resist the craving of eating some cookies or some chips.
Gratz on the weight loss. I lost 80 lb on a whole food-plant based diet which is somewhat similar to what you described. I didn't eat the diet for weight loss but for the lowering of high serum cholesterol, which dropped from 210 mg/dl (high being above 200) to 125 (anything below about 150 is ideal). I also fixed high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate. I had been on heart rate and blood pressure medication for a long time. It would have been possible to fix those problems through diet much, much earlier but I didn't understand the true effectiveness of such a diet. It does taste awesome though after a search for foods I like.
My friend, an intake of 1000 calories a day is literally STARVING yourself. That is not enough for you to function. Take it from me and from others I know who have tried it, you are overdoing it.
Guess I should learn to be scared of carbs again. Though I can demolish a pack of ham or chicken in a very short space of time, so maybe I'm just a pig xD
A bag of Cookies in 2 days...or 2 hours? I'm had to turn myself in zen mode to survive the struggle of not eat all the damn cookies :c . Anyways im keep Trying eat less carbs, thanks for the vid dude.
I lost 60lbs by going keto carnivore. Healthiest I ever was. Started eating carbs again and I’m bloated, feeling like crap, gassy. Nope. Not a proper human diet. Going back to keto because I cannot live on carbs and sugar. I’m starving all the time on the standard American diet. Keto is a life saver
"not a proper human diet" it's interesting how you believe you can draw conclusions about an entire species based on your own personal experience... the human ego is a strange thing lol
Its so strange when people are talking about how bad is to eat simple carbs like donuts etc. But the most amount of calories are coming from fat. Lets take a look the nutrients of a 100 grams of donut. 22.85 grams fat,47 grams carbs and 5.7 grams protein. So 205.65 calories are coming from fat and 188 grams are coming from carbs . I just dont get it, why donuts chocolate etc are called simple carbs if most amount of calories are coming from fat. So if your goal is to lose weight than you should consume less calories than you are burning throughout the day.
It’s all about CICO. To lose weight, eat less calories than you currently are. To gain weight, eat around 200-300 more calories than current. In both instances, incorporate high protein in each meal as well as progressive resistance training
i feel like the price of food is the actual main reason. i'd rather eat meat all day than pastries, even if pastries are technically more tasty than meat, typically
2:54 Must? the only organ in the body that MUST get glucose is the brain, and exclusively the brain. 3:01 It CAN use glucose to power it, but is not REQUIRED. Your digestive tract can use KETONES in place of GLUCOSE to perform the very same action, the gut doesn't NEED 1 single gram of glucose to do this. There is only 1 organ in the body that REQUIRES glucose, the brain (and therefore the nervous system). But the good thing is, is that your body can synthesize its OWN glucose from protein and fat FROM THE FOOD YOU CONSUME to fuel the needs of the brain. Any more glucose past this baseline needed for the brain to function is toxic. 4:25 No, they do not take longer, they're fully digested and absorbed within 5~ hours of ingestion. That is false. 4:28 Yes, they are. Humans are hyper obligate carnivores. Meat is our primary source of both nutrition and energy. 4:30 It does use them immediately.
Guys. Carbs alone don’t make you fat. Eating carbs in EXCESS makes you fat. Just like eating excess in Protein makes you fat too. If you eat less carbs than you burn throughout the day (a calorie deficit for example) your not getting fat. We need to stop blaming carbs for making us fat, it’s not the carbs, it’s YOUR lack of control to eat less than you need.
Your explanation is somewhat misleading: It doesn't matter what type of food you eat, whether its carbs, fats, or proteins. In the end you will only gain body fat if you are in a caloric surplus. That means eating more calories than your body needs in a day. You are right that carbs are the primary energy source, fat and protein is less important and used for other things (such as hormone production and building muscle). But complex or simple carbs dont matter if it comes down to weight gain, because they both have the same amount of energy (4 kcal per gram). Every day your body will need a given amount of energy measured in calories to funntion properly. Assuming your glycogen stores in liver and muscle are full but your daily energy needs are not satisfied yet, the overshoot glucose from the carbs you ate will first be stored as fat but later that day be converted back to energy again since you need it for your body to work. So as long as the food you eat (calories in) contains less or the same amount of calories as the energy you burn in a day (calories out), you can eat what you want, even just carbohydrates, you won't gain fat. Also as a side note, at 4:22 you said that protein is higher in calories than carbohydrates, which is wrong. They both have 4 kcal per gram. Fats on the other hand contain more than twice the amount of calories (9 kcal per gram), which is also why they can easily add up to a lot of calories and make you gain weight.
Hmmm.....ketones are also primary source of fuel. We are dual fueled machines. Butter is totally consumed when in a fat-burning state (high glucagon, low insulin) Again, love your videos. On the carnivore diet, i lost 80lbs of weight by sitting my ass (work related).

But i had to comment to say ive eaten a whole jar of peanut butter a few times in my life...spooned it out, took me about an hour with lots of sips of water. its so good but made my mouth really dry.

Whenever I give advice about losing weight to someone, first thing I say is cut out the liquid calories for a few months first without changing anything else. Water only, sprinkled in with tea, black coffee or no sugar soft drink. It's scary how much sugar is hidden in drinks that aren't water.
I've never been overweight, but for sports I've had to lean down and cutting out the liquid calories melted the body fat off me.
I only eat eggs and dead animals
Mmm like eggs and steak

normally i do not give enough of a fuck to tell content creators that i like what they make, however i will make an exception this time. i do really like your videos, you don't make things insultingly simple (i stole this term) as you put it in that headshot video and you don't kill your viewers via death by powerpoint. you add a bit of humor to it, you make it sound interesting, and you make it easy to want to learn. and the topics are genuinely interesting. so keep up the good work. unfortunately i'm a year away from being able to get a job where i live so i'm not able to support you on patreon.
It’s delicious and easy to overindulge. Overeating is overconsumption of calories needed per day so you become a oink over time. Saved you 7 min

the real answer
But I want to hear his sexy voice, crude diagrams and explanations.
you forgot the theory behind glucose storage. Which was very informative too.
@@kanjakan then I can’t save you fam lol
Could you please do a video on how our liver has a hard time processing fructose and how bad fructose is for us? Glucose can make us fat, Fructose poisons us and lowers the quality of our health. A slow acting poison for sure, but its adverse health effects are undeniable when you look at how the liver struggles to process it.
Funny joke
Fructose isn't inherently bad, and physiology wise, our liver needs it:
- It helps replenish liver glycogen faster
- It's used to neutralize several compounds by making them hydrophilic and available for blood transportation
The problem with fructose is, always, when you're taking too much of it. At that point the risk is to get fatty liver and higher glycation values in blood tests.
But for this to happen, you need first and foremost in a calorie surplus, which truly is the silent killer to rule them all.
I stopped eating chips and all similar kind of snacks, all types of sugars except fruits. At one point (after a month or so) so I had dreams where I was tasting the most delicious cakes ever made. It's been now 3 months and I still don't eat any kind of processed foods. I have lost maybe about 10lbs and have kept that weight now, I eat alot of protein containing foods, and nuts (the contain alot of calories and fats)
wtf is wrong with yall biggas
You should consider reinserting cake in your diet (not your everyday diet of course).
Why? Because a sustainable approach beats the "perfect" approach by a significant margin.
@@GabrielWarlock I agree, and for most people that would be the way to go, but I view sugars just the same as cigarettes or worse. I got used to not eating sweets. And in my mind sugar only exists for sugar religious people. It still tastes good, for me too, I try it from time to time if an occasion presents itself. But the main thing and the most valuable lesson for all those who have learned that sugar=bad, is that when you go to the market to buy your groceries, or when you are a guest at some place, you view this as a sort of garbage, something inedible, something that you know other people consume because of dependancy or taste, but your relationship with sugar is completely changed. You feel like you stopped smoking or drinking too much, or taking drugs that are bad for you health. Its like you get out of that system forever, and you just do it for social occasions. And sustainable is very different for many people, if i told you I sustain myself on 7000$ a year you would think im crazy or lying. And for someone else 20 or 50 is barely manageable. In the end it always, always boils down to - what you know is truth and how much you want to be aligned with that truth.
@@Spandex08 Nothing of what you've said is crazy. I've had the same experience: I wanted to lose weight so bad I purged my diet of everything that was hyper processed or too dense in terms of calories. And it really felt good, although I kept one day a week for free meals where I could let myself go over everything I could desire.
It was only recently that I realized that while that was a mandatory passage for me to mature a healthy way of eating, it couldn't last forever. I was pursuing an unsustainable model, that didn't account for unforeseen events or circumstances and that was slowly bringing me towards a toxic relationship with food.
Sugar isn't bad, it's not a drug, it's not comparable to smoke or booze, not even a little. And my exclusion of it from my diet was turning me into an orthorexic mess.
To this day, I simply count my calories and I challenge myself to make what I like fit within them. Whether it's a candy bar or a yogurt, everything is welcome.
There's no real good and bad dichotomy in human nutrition, food is food, the only thing we should avoid is overeating.
After a 3 hour mma training session all I can think about is consuming something with sought any lots of water and carbs
Actually, I will go to town on 30 brussels sprouts same as a bag of chips. Those tiny cabbages are delicious!
Some of us, sadly - enter an addiction cycle even with complex carbs. I find (for me) carbs do nothing to fill me (even when mixed with proteins) until I'm physically full. Three pork chops and some low carb veggies in butter...done for 6 hours and even then I may just need a few cubes of cheese. ;) Just me!
This is a great video. Now I understand why the liver is so important for the rest of the organs. Nice job. I learned
Carbs and protein have the same amount of calories per gram. Everyone knows that
You may lose more weight on a high-protein diet because your body spends more energy processing dietary protein than it does carbohydrates, Wycherley says.
Think of it this way: If you eat 100 calories of protein, your body will burn about 20 to 30 of those calories while processing the protein, says Wycherley. Compare that to 100 calories of carbs, and your body only burns about 5 to 10 calories.
@chikapu_4486 Yeah, you're right
finally! a video that actually explains why diet and exercise are effective unlike other videos which would just tell you to do it to lose weight but not tell you how it works or that if that makes sense, i know understand the science behind diet and exercising!!!
I've been wanting to gain weight for years but I don't like the idea of eating lots of sugary or fatty foods
You don’t need to. Just consumed 200-300 calories over maintenance (ideally nutrient dense food and not junk (junk food is still allowed)),high protein with each meal as well as following a progressive exercise plan and you’re golden 👍
Just do a lean bulk
Your last sentence basically explains why you’ve never gained weight lol. Avoiding those foods makes a huge difference.
carbs do not make you gain weight a calorie surplus does but sweets and chips are the worst kind of carbs to consume, eating potatoes and stuff like that is more satiating
Great facts! I agree and need to start watching my carb intake. However, I do eat a jar of PB every 2 days. You can do it!
It's a bit misleading the include crisps, biscuits and muffins as simple carbs that are easy to overeat. These are also high in fat. Addictive and calorie dense carby-fatty foods are the problem. People mostly aren't getting fat just eating pasta and sauce or white bread on its own.
Yeaaaah lets learn
Very smooth transition to the Ad lmaooo. Great vid!
I try
5:45 when I used to weigh ~320lbs I could eat a jar and a half of peanut butter in bed easily, so, yes it's possible lmao
Now I'm down to 210 and I had to stop buying peanut butter because I'll still go through a full jar in less than two full days every single time. It's also insanely hard to find peanut butter that doesn't have sugar as one of the first three listed ingredients, so it's best to just avoid it if you tend to over-indulge (or are clearly strangely addicted to it like me and have zero self-control whatsoever when a jar is opened)
You should try powdered peanut powder!
Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't protein also have the same amount of calories per gram like carbs (4 calories)?
Yeah thought so too
Yes, they do. However the difference is that your body uses protein for practically everything. From reinforcing your immune system with new protective cells such as antibodies, to using it to build new tissue in case that you exercise regularly. Carbs, on the other hand, are entering your body in order to be broken down into the particles that act as energy stores. That's why it's easier to get fat from the abuse of simple carbs rather than protein abuse --being the last one extremely rare, but possible.
Not only that, the thermic effect of food that protein has is higher so the net amount of calories is even lower than 4.
@@DJcs187 Exactly.
@@JorgeMP53 That‘s interesting, thanks for the clarification!
These videos are some of the best around. No waffling on, no BS, just straight science with great analogies and..... I've been eating too many carbs, and not exercising enough, as I stare down at my bubble tum. Need to walk more and a little more intensely too.
calories, you've been eating too many calories
Awesome video! So by improving your muscle mass, you can actively store more "carbs", do you by any chance know what the effect of 1-kilo extra muscle mass is on your recommended carb intake? Probably not a completely linear relation but sounds interesting to know.
You can store a bit more glycogen with 1 kilo of muscle. You’d have to add on a significant amount to make a difference in glycogen stores
Awesome 🌴
Calorie surplus makes you fat not carbs. Also just for a fyi if your ultimate goal is to lose fat you should be focusing on cutting fats over carbs as fats contain 9 calories per gram compared to the 4 calories per gram for protein and carbs. Protein and fibre are what keep you full not fat
U didnt understamd the video at all
Man don't talk about stuff you don't understand
lol did you even watch the video, he mentioned that simple carbs are less calorically dense therefore easier for the body to digest and makes you hungry again at a faster rate than fat and protein.
Yes. the thing is junk food is less filling and more calorie dense, making it harder to not be in a calorie surplus
Nice accessible video on a topic like this.
On a deeper level there is something else to note here that ties it all together. Carbohydrates in excess are converted to fat via denovolipogenesis, the fat which is made from this process is made up of stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid that has pro-diabetic and fatty liver promoting effects. Fructose stimulates de novo lipogenesis in much smaller quantities than glucose, so this effect will be worse when eating things that taste 'sweet' (and likely are fructose sweetened).
I got to 90kg when my ideal weight would be 76kg, it has been a week since i started my diet with lots of fiber and a moderate amount of protein, and little complex carbs, with a estimated calories intake of 1000kcal, no exercise due to a recent surgery, and im already at 87,20.
Drastically reducing simple carbs intake is the key and limiting the calories intake is the key for weight loss, but beware that your brain will complain a lot about it, on the first days it was hard to resist the craving of eating some cookies or some chips.
Gratz on the weight loss. I lost 80 lb on a whole food-plant based diet which is somewhat similar to what you described. I didn't eat the diet for weight loss but for the lowering of high serum cholesterol, which dropped from 210 mg/dl (high being above 200) to 125 (anything below about 150 is ideal). I also fixed high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate.
I had been on heart rate and blood pressure medication for a long time. It would have been possible to fix those problems through diet much, much earlier but I didn't understand the true effectiveness of such a diet. It does taste awesome though after a search for foods I like.
How did you get started, any resources you can share? Do you buy prepackaged food or cook your own? Thanks
You are lossing weight because of your low calories intake,not the carbs
1000kcal a day is way too low
My friend, an intake of 1000 calories a day is literally STARVING yourself. That is not enough for you to function. Take it from me and from others I know who have tried it, you are overdoing it.
i can eat 500 grams of lentils cooked from dried in one day.(CARBS)
Carbs make me skinny
I knew I should've been eating more carbs
I love how the vshred guy was the ad before the video and he strictly said “carbs don’t make you fat” 😭
Guess I should learn to be scared of carbs again.
Though I can demolish a pack of ham or chicken in a very short space of time, so maybe I'm just a pig xD
great video as always! thanks for the information and making it so enjoyable to watch
Thx u so much...
50% of these foods have more calories from fats than from carbs
A bag of Cookies in 2 days...or 2 hours? I'm had to turn myself in zen mode to survive the struggle of not eat all the damn cookies :c .
Anyways im keep Trying eat less carbs, thanks for the vid dude.
Understandable.
"How carbs make you fat" They don't. Eating them in excess makes you fat. I eat a slice of cake and a cookie almost every day, 11% body fat
Carbs don’t make you fat over consumption of calories which are prevalent in simple carbohydrates
I lost 60lbs by going keto carnivore. Healthiest I ever was.
Started eating carbs again and I’m bloated, feeling like crap, gassy. Nope. Not a proper human diet.
Going back to keto because I cannot live on carbs and sugar. I’m starving all the time on the standard American diet.
Keto is a life saver
"not a proper human diet" it's interesting how you believe you can draw conclusions about an entire species based on your own personal experience... the human ego is a strange thing lol
How did you get started, any resources you can share? Do you buy prepackaged food or cook your own? Thanks
@@cimi93x read the science
@@squirrelcovers6340 the overwhelming scientific data shows that carbs are essential for humans.
I don’t get it look at Asians. They eat rice with every meal in Asian countries and they’re skinny , rice and noodles.
The more important question is,
How does literally eating fat doesn't make me fat?
eating fat does make you fat. Its just a different metabolism involved.
Protein, carbs, and fat make you fat in a deficit. Some just become fat than muscle n stuff.
Everything makes you fat as long as you eat more calories than those you need.
Carbs are my weakness in diets
Same but the only carbs that are my weakness is pasta
THE FOOD PYRAMID LIED TO ME. I THOUGHT BREAD WAS GOOD FOR ME
The food pyramid was debunked over 3 decades ago.
I been needing to study Biology recently and all I have to say is this video helps me memorise a lot better🤣🤣
No mention of alcohol? : ( Nice graphics tho, simple and understandable.
True but if you want the best one without any carbs at all, go with bud light nexxt. It’s 80 calories a can and 4% alcohol
Its so strange when people are talking about how bad is to eat simple carbs like donuts etc. But the most amount of calories are coming from fat. Lets take a look the nutrients of a 100 grams of donut. 22.85 grams fat,47 grams carbs and 5.7 grams protein. So 205.65 calories are coming from fat and 188 grams are coming from carbs . I just dont get it, why donuts chocolate etc are called simple carbs if most amount of calories are coming from fat. So if your goal is to lose weight than you should consume less calories than you are burning throughout the day.
aw bruh so I dont actually need like 80 million diets
I wanna gain weight so bad
i wanna lose some😭😭
I need to lose some
I wish there were some fat donation centres. Would be a win-win for everyone!
@@user-xx6pr1te7q BIG FACTS!!
It’s all about CICO. To lose weight, eat less calories than you currently are. To gain weight, eat around 200-300 more calories than current. In both instances, incorporate high protein in each meal as well as progressive resistance training
thanks man great info..keep up the good work🤗🤗🤗
Me as an Italian, where pasta is served almost every day 🥲
I hear Italians walk more than Americans do, however?
Don't worry pasta are complex or may be complex carbohydrate
@@hellomate6079 only 100% whole wheat pasta has complex carbs. Pasta made with white flour has simple carbs

2:54 Must? the only organ in the body that MUST get glucose is the brain, and exclusively the brain.
3:01 It CAN use glucose to power it, but is not REQUIRED. Your digestive tract can use KETONES in place of GLUCOSE to perform the very same action, the gut doesn't NEED 1 single gram of glucose to do this.
There is only 1 organ in the body that REQUIRES glucose, the brain (and therefore the nervous system). But the good thing is, is that your body can synthesize its OWN glucose from protein and fat FROM THE FOOD YOU CONSUME to fuel the needs of the brain. Any more glucose past this baseline needed for the brain to function is toxic.
4:25 No, they do not take longer, they're fully digested and absorbed within 5~ hours of ingestion. That is false.
4:28 Yes, they are. Humans are hyper obligate carnivores. Meat is our primary source of both nutrition and energy.
4:30 It does use them immediately.
Die Detonierte Dame Detonierte
Guys. Carbs alone don’t make you fat. Eating carbs in EXCESS makes you fat. Just like eating excess in Protein makes you fat too. If you eat less carbs than you burn throughout the day (a calorie deficit for example) your not getting fat. We need to stop blaming carbs for making us fat, it’s not the carbs, it’s YOUR lack of control to eat less than you need.
Your explanation is somewhat misleading:
It doesn't matter what type of food you eat, whether its carbs, fats, or proteins. In the end you will only gain body fat if you are in a caloric surplus. That means eating more calories than your body needs in a day. You are right that carbs are the primary energy source, fat and protein is less important and used for other things (such as hormone production and building muscle).
But complex or simple carbs dont matter if it comes down to weight gain, because they both have the same amount of energy (4 kcal per gram). Every day your body will need a given amount of energy measured in calories to funntion properly. Assuming your glycogen stores in liver and muscle are full but your daily energy needs are not satisfied yet, the overshoot glucose from the carbs you ate will first be stored as fat but later that day be converted back to energy again since you need it for your body to work.
So as long as the food you eat (calories in) contains less or the same amount of calories as the energy you burn in a day (calories out), you can eat what you want, even just carbohydrates, you won't gain fat.
Also as a side note, at 4:22 you said that protein is higher in calories than carbohydrates, which is wrong. They both have 4 kcal per gram. Fats on the other hand contain more than twice the amount of calories (9 kcal per gram), which is also why they can easily add up to a lot of calories and make you gain weight.
Very well explained!👍💓
Thank you! 😃
Hmmm.....ketones are also primary source of fuel. We are dual fueled machines. Butter is totally consumed when in a fat-burning state (high glucagon, low insulin) Again, love your videos. On the carnivore diet, i lost 80lbs of weight by sitting my ass (work related).
