Calorie counting doesn't work according to a new study. Apparently.

    The title is misleading. Being a person who had severe digestive issues for 6-12 months. I did my research on the subject. Gut health is probably the most critical part for the human body to function properly.

    Oh Pu, dear Pu. Tell me how my gut bacteria can create energy out of nothing to make me fat when I'm not at a surplus.

    Better yet - eat McDonalds ONLY for ONE year. No salads - just their core foods, burgers, fried foods - ONE year - and come back and tell us how you really feel - WITH blood work - before and after. I double dare you.

    They did it for 30 days on Super Size Me...was interesting. They knew it would make him fat and raise his cholesterol. They DIDN'T know how badly it would damage his liver...

    Exactly. Visceral fat accumulation in the liver. Only 30 days. That's the problem. You cannot outrun a bad diet. It will catch up to you.

    Eat 1500 calories of cake for a year and come back and tell us how you really feel. The reason you won't is because you know that can't work. I double dare you.

    Today's word is strawman.




    I have the blood work and dropped weight to prove it. It's proven methodology. You are the strawman.

    And this has what to do with gut flora, or a diet of cake?

    Do you even know what a strawman argument is?

    1500 calories of cake for a year - I really really doubt it. McDonalds - really really doubt it man. You ate a good nutritional profile because you knew that was the primary mover in the battle.

    where in my post did I say I ate 1500 calories of cake?????

    I was talking about calorie counting ….

    Okay so you eat 'healthy' with your chicken and broccoli and its other variants. I was a cashier/cart pusher for 2 years. I ate 4, count em, FOUR double cheese burgers from McDonalds EVERY DAY for dinner WITH a large fry. I dropped from 180lbs to 140lbs.

    Explain.

    I agree. I had equivalent issues and found out through a nutritionist, doctor, and great PTs that the only way to fight these issues is with a good diet first - a nutritional program. Not just eating less than what you expend - there's a real difference there.

    CICO, metabolics, dietary formulation (program), and training (program). Wish I followed it when I was in my 20s more. I know I have much to look forward to knowing what I know now.

    You can't outrun a bad diet - maybe if you are in your 20s, but try hitting 40 and beyond. CICO just exemplifies the rest. Calories In (what kind of calorie) and Calories Out (what are you doing). That's a loaded monster right there.

    Yes I have as I have family with issues and I wanted to help them out...so I did some research.

    As for the bolded...nutritionist pft...I can get an online course and get a certificate in a weekend, Doctors receive appx 24 hours of nutritional education through out medical school unless they specialize, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430660/

    And PT's well okay but they shouldn't be giving out nutritional advice as they are not RD's.

    CICO...that's it...not the kinds of calories....quality is good but quantity is what leads to weight loss/gain.

    The person I consulted had a Masters degree from an internationally-accredited university and over 10 years of success. All of them gave out the same advice in the end when you bottom-line it - you can't outrun a bad diet. Eat right and you will succeed - that's the long-term vision and it works. Works for me.

    You can't outrun a bad diet. Plain and simple.

    Curious. What did they mean by a "bad diet"?

    Overeating is what makes you fat, not gut bacteria….

    yea, except he super sized every meal ….you could order the grilled chicken sandwich every day, be in a deficit/maintenance, and you would lose weight or maintain depending on calorie intake.

    He only super sized if it was OFFERED. Which wasn't every meal.

    You can eat off the mcdonalds menu and hit your calorie goal and macros if you do a little planning...

    Calorie counting alone will not work long term. Most will gain their weight back is a fact. Same success rate as other diets.
    To have long term success it has to be more than weighing , measuring and wearing fitbits around or you will gain your weight back.

    OK …ten years in and it is working fine for me…

    Planes crash too, does that mean you should not fly?

    Most small business fail too, does that mean that one should not open a business???

    Actually I eat a nutritious diet because I get to eat more. 1500 (or in my case 1380) of naught but cake isn't too much. It would fail because I'd get HUNGRY.

    There are benefits to nutrition, no one is arguing that. The argument is that it DOES NOT MATTER where those calories came from. Whether your glucose came from cake or an apple, your body treats it the same. But that Apple has other things you might want so a better choice in the long run

    You can't outrun a bad diet means that the exercise you do won't burn enough calories to make all the extra calories you stuff into your face disappear.

    Once again, negative comments, has anyone done any research on this subject?. Typical.

    The title is misleading. Being a person who had severe digestive issues for 6-12 months. I did my research on the subject. Gut health is probably the most critical part for the human body to function properly.

    Oh Pu, dear Pu. Tell me how my gut bacteria can create energy out of nothing to make me fat when I'm not at a surplus.

    Eat 1500 calories of cake for a year and come back and tell us how you really feel. The reason you won't is because you know that can't work. I double dare you.

    and there is the strawman argument….because no one eats a diet of 100% cake...

    I'd like to... :lol:

    honestly, I think that would get boring. I would miss bagels, eggs, bacon, pasta, bread, ice cream, etc.

    I can only imagine the threads on mfp. "I cheated today :( That lean steak with veggies looked so good..."

    "Today I didn't manage to eat my calorie allowance in cake. The fruit I had on the side had me under my goal"

    HAHAHAHAHA.

    I agree. I had equivalent issues and found out through a nutritionist, doctor, and great PTs that the only way to fight these issues is with a good diet first - a nutritional program. Not just eating less than what you expend - there's a real difference there.

    CICO, metabolics, dietary formulation (program), and training (program). Wish I followed it when I was in my 20s more. I know I have much to look forward to knowing what I know now.

    You can't outrun a bad diet - maybe if you are in your 20s, but try hitting 40 and beyond. CICO just exemplifies the rest. Calories In (what kind of calorie) and Calories Out (what are you doing). That's a loaded monster right there.

    Yes I have as I have family with issues and I wanted to help them out...so I did some research.

    As for the bolded...nutritionist pft...I can get an online course and get a certificate in a weekend, Doctors receive appx 24 hours of nutritional education through out medical school unless they specialize, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430660/

    And PT's well okay but they shouldn't be giving out nutritional advice as they are not RD's.

    CICO...that's it...not the kinds of calories....quality is good but quantity is what leads to weight loss/gain.

    The person I consulted had a Masters degree from an internationally-accredited university and over 10 years of success. All of them gave out the same advice in the end when you bottom-line it - you can't outrun a bad diet. Eat right and you will succeed - that's the long-term vision and it works. Works for me.

    You can't outrun a bad diet. Plain and simple.

    You can't outrun a bad diet means that the exercise you do won't burn enough calories to make all the extra calories you stuff into your face disappear.

    And it doesn't matter if he's got a master's degree. Unless it's in nutrition he might as well be a plumber when it comes to nutrition.

    @tedboosalis7 actually has the correct understanding of that statement.

    Not by a long shot.
