It's often overlooked that a massive component of fat loss is psychological.
That's why people will get results doing such wildly different approaches.... All of them work to done extent; the big question is what you can stick to
The idea is interesting, but I’m not sure about the presented fat loss options.. just eating less always works, and fairly well, but it’s presented as the worst option in this chart.
Probably the biggest issue is compliance when it comes to fat loss - people convince themselves they are eating way fewer calories than they actually are, etc.
Hey there!
Just eating less never really worked for me. I think it works if your metabolism is in a good place, but mine hasn't ever really been. So eating less just resulting in feeling shitty, losing 3lbs, and then rebounding.
The issue with compliance is that you can't drive with an empty gas tank. I think most diets can't be complied with and then we blame the dieter when the body's feedback system activates.
Is this article implying calorie deficits are not what cause weight loss? Or am I misunderstanding? He links to the idea that "we don't know what causes weight loss", but studies show calorie deficits do.
Caloric deficits don't CAUSE weight loss, they merely report them. The deficit/surplus is an accounting identity. Of course somebody who lost fat had calories leave his body - that's literally what that means. It's tautological.
What it is not: instructive in how to persistently cause more calories to leave the body than to come in.
Calorie restriction is a red herring. Real weight loss is caused by long term reduction of insulin levels. The foods, quantities, times, and times between meals you eat affect this.
Literally everyone who lifts weight and trains properly for a decent length of time knows that bulking (eating more calories to put on weight) and cutting (eating fewer calories to reduce weight) work.
The fact that this is even at all debated is bizarre. These people should stick to astrology.
