Intermittent fasting works because you're not eating for at least one meal a day, and likely eating overall less calories.


Given the same amount of calories from the same food the person that eats more times a day will likely have more fat, given everything else is the same. Did I exaggerate calories a bit too far with 300? Maybe. Maybe I should have only had a 100 calories difference.

How to do Intermittent Fasting for Serious Weight Loss

What would be the point of intermittent fasting if just eating less calories was all that mattered?

IF works because it triggers growth hormone and inhibits insulin. The purpose of intermittent fasting is to lower insulin, take the stress off insulin and the gland that makes it - pancreas, and thus restore your metabolism.

You simply shouldn't store fat if you're in a caloric deficit.


I'm not arguing against that, but calories aren't just calories. Hormones matter, big time. As an example, if you are in ketosis, or fasting (you enter ketosis when fasting), losing weight you are almost guaranteed to lose less muscle than other diets because of how you make ketones (and in fasting you spike your growth hormone big time).

dude stop digging. A calorie is a calorie. do a little reading. Go read leangains.com

Martin is the king of IF and still understands a calorie is a calorie. Sure there are very small thermogenic effects from IF, keto, carb backloading etc but a calorie is a calorie period. Go read about the Twinkie diet. Only exception to that is protein can have a thermogenic effect of using up to 40% of the calories to process.

Define energy balance

Also I’m curious if you tracked calories from day 1 on Keto when you lost your weight

Calories in vs calories out. Great thing about keto is many lose weight without tracking due to eating nutritionally dense food and the hunger blunting effects of keto

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_calorie_is_a_calorie

Wake Forest University Research
The researchers concluded that the type of calories consumed do affect body weight.

Harvard University Research
The lead author of the study concluded in an interview that trying to count calories, in an effort to lose weight, would be futile unless one is examining the kinds of calories being consumed.

Boston Children's Hospital Clinical Trial
The researchers concluded that the type of calories consumed does affect the number of calories burned by an individual.

BTW. I will read your sources as you normally have some reasoning for your stances. I do appreciate those more than the wrong again opening jab of your normally very cordial (informative) disposition

Energy balance is eating at your weekly TDEE. Maintenance. Deficit is eating below tdee, surplus is above tdee. Days are variable so it's best to track on a weekly basis, imo

No I only tracked net carbs when I did keto the first time and lost a bunch of weight.


I'm not anti keto or anti Paleo or anti IF or whatever. Do whatever works. But the bottom line is calories in/calories out dictates weight loss and weight gain. I've actually considered going back to keto recently since it usually works for me (I find that fat really satisfies my appetite more than protein or carbs), but my doctor advised against it because of my hypothyroidism... Thyroid uses glucose to convert free t4 to t3, so low carb diets can actually slightly lower thyroid function.

The study isn't free - but Bill has a good write up on his website, calories proper. The second study is free for reading.

You may be able to find it there. Supposed to be a great place to find paid science articles for free.

Go read Martin berkham, Alan argon and Lyle McDonald also. All three of the guys I named are complete and utter dick heads and Martin is the only one not a douche.

Now I am talking strictly weight loss and there are tons of studies that were strict that show calories are the ultimate determining factor in weight loss. Now diets like strict keto and more so strict Paleo and whole30 do a better job for overall health because the remove many of the foods that cause inflammation in the body and foods that trigger autoimmune and hurt gut health.

The Wake Forest study was based on monkeys. Also used trans fat which is not a real naturally occurring fat.

The second so called study by havard is a correlation study based on questionnaires sent out to people. Plenty of evidence people lie on these, under estimate how many calories they eat a d their portions and the over estimate how much protein they eat.

Both of these studies are completely worthless.

The other study, the Boston study did not have the partcipants in a lab setting nor was their food provided for them. They again relied in reporting which has been shown to be extremely biased. Also the testing the did that showed stress for high fat diet didn't say what type of fat because it wasn't monitored and very easily could have been trans fat which would make sense from a health stand point.

Junky, did you really just link a study from 1956? We have a tad bit better technology now.

As far as alcohol goes, we have been knowing for over a decade that calories from alcohol are processed different.

Still waiting for a study to be linked that is from the last 25 years that is controlled and proves calories dontatter? I say this with a cavaete that it must be a study where participants are fed a minimum of 1500 Cal's. I know about the studies of sub 1k calories and understand that some magical things happen with all protein diets and diets made of 90% or greater fat content when in that caloric range due to ability to not use lean tissue as fuel.

Look I think lane Norton is the utmost douche bag on the internet. Complete douche bag who I would like to beat the hell out of, same goes for Lyle McDonald, but they are right when it comes to the research. There is zero evidence showing at a "normal" caloric intake that the make up of calories has an effect on weight loss over the long haul so long as protein levels are sufficient to maintain lean tissue.

Yeah, basing nutrition on pure CICO is like blaming poor mpg on putting too much gas in your tank. Well not exactly, but it's a similar level of reductionism to the point of ridiculousness.

Slow carb, similar to these diets but have a cheat day. More of a lifestyle change than a diet.

So why does that matter? I guess we just throw out old science these days right? I guess the bellevue all-meat trial done in 1930 should be thrown out because it is too old a study proving man can survive on an all-meat diet...

Ok, so not all calories are the same. Thank you for proving my point.

I really do give a damn about your stipulations. All I said was CICO wasn’t the whole story and showed that to be true. Some people can be cicopaths.

No I'm saying there is no way for us to know how the 1956 study was setup and controlled.

And all calories are the same except alcohol which is a Poison, so I guess we could say poisons don't count.

And Im not saying there are not other reasons to do keto or whole30 but still need to be in an energy deficit to lose weight.

Curious, why would it matter if a study performed caloric testing at 1000 calories and not 1500 if all calories are the same?
