Steps I'm Taking To Battle Depression

It’s significantly more difficult

even if you do keto you still need to eat at a caloric deficit

If you did keto you did what I described. If you still ate high carb foods you are one of the less than 1% of people who were successfully able to lose weight in that way.

No, I didn’t do Keto

“If you still ate high carb foods you are one of the less than 1% of people who were successfully able to lose weight in that way.”

Are you trolling?

Nope, but I am right

Sure thing Dr. Fung

You think if you ate 10,000 calories of wood you would gain 3 pounds? It’s not a physics problem

Instead of responding to my post you’re responding to your post which is supposed to represent my post, when it really doesn’t

this is called a straw man argument :slight_smile:

You didn’t say anything

If you eat at a caloric deficit you will lose weight. That’s my stance.

How much of that is muscle and fat is entirely dependant on your diet, but you can still lose as much weight as you want eating anything you want as long as you count the calories properly.

Somebody tested this by eating only twinkies for months. He lost weight.

I wouldn’t recommend that, but you could do it.

My stance is if you eat at a caloric deficit while consuming carbs you will have a substantially more difficult time losing weight.

That is an opinion.

Caloric deficit is roughly going to work, yeah. But you’re going to be hungry as fuck the entire time and if you’re like 99.9% of fat people you’re just going to fail

It you’re defining carbs as pepsi and doughnuts I’ll agree with you, not if you’re defining carbs as potatoes and yams and rice and oatmeal.

How much protein and fat is accompanying the carbs is what matters the most.

Yeah I mean the more grams of fat you consume compared to any form of carbohydrate the less hunger you will have.

Carbs were hardly a thing for all of biological existence it’s not a hard leap to make to understand that they’re not great for you

Not all carbs are the same

Yes I understand that fructose isn’t the same as glucose. They still cause insulin spikes and they’re going to raise hunger levels.

I’m speaking entirely from the point of view of someone who is trying to lose weight as efficiently and easily as possible.

For a healthy person who is active and can efficiently use fructose it’s not a big deal. For a fat person, that fructose will not be used efficiently by the body, it will spike insulin levels, it will make them more hungry, and they will probably end up eating.

But honestly I would advise just not eating at all (in before anorexia claims)*

*Significantly more difficult if you have a job that makes you sweat
