Excellent video by Dr Layne Norton explaining how fat loss actually works!

Well worth 20 minutes of people's time - especially those new to MyFitnessPal.

A little to weighted to TEF but other wise good.

I would just add for any one new that MFP diarys use your NEAT to create your calorie goal.

You might like to post it on this thread too.

I dunno, I felt like he did a fair job of explaining that while TEF is something that can be leveraged, it’s very limited and that the most controllable variables are going to be calories in, NEAT and exercise.

Thank you! I've not heard of him but this is a great video. I will be sending it to a few people.

I had a watch of some of his other ones too.

He drew his scale backwards.

Funny, he appeared to be promoting CICO at first, but he eventually got there in the end and debunked it. Sure, short term, lowering CI will allow weight loss, but you can't just keep lowering it every time your BMR NEAT EA and TEF go down to balance it. And the 20% difference between protein and carbs on TEF only accounts for a maximum of 2% of CO, and actually much less because nobody eats only protein or carbs, so it's probably less than 1% of CO.

Now, having your BMR go down has a huge effect on CO, so you have to eat in a way that allows you to reduce your calories w/o lowering your BMR. This is why simply saying CICO is not true.

I think that video was confusing to most people and mostly worthless. Do yourself a favor and look into eating foods that lower insulin and into intermittent fasting.

bull

it was only part one and only an explanation of energy balance for those that have very little understanding or knowledge of it

it was not a comprehensive plan of what to do in every circumstance

He says himself he is planning a comprehensive series of educational videos

jog on

And your PhD is from where? It is always CICO, "hormones" cannot create or destroy energy.
