Well, calories count in weight loss. But in addition there are plenty of other studies saying other factors play a part in weight loss also - sleep, nutrition content for some people, thyroid health, feeling of fullness for example. And this is just one guys experience.
This is fine for fat people, but good luck gaining lean muscle mass with that diet. Also, ignoring the health of your internal organs is worse than being fat. Ok, not really, but almost.
What are the qualifications for becoming a professor of nutrition at KSU? I tune out any obese person telling me what/how to eat. Not to say they can't know the answers, but they're the wrong messenger.
That's a good point about his good cholesterol going up. Diet does play a part in HDL cholesterol. It matters not only in the amount of HDL present but also in size - and for cholesterol size matters! Small dense HDL, created by sugary foods, are not thought to do much good in the body though.
Nutrition Professor said: Data doesn't say that? data doesn't say what happens with long term habitual 500-800 daily calorie deficits. Calories in/out definitely works but if you're drastically reducing calorie to lose weight, you'll definitely suffer from metabolic damage and when you're off of this 'magic diet' your weight will go back to normal and then some. Starving yourself doesn't do ****.
Yes, he wasn't exactly starving per se.
i've been following this experiment and already knew what the results were going to be from the start. seriously, there are some things science doesn't completely understand yet, e.g. muscle synthesis, and there are some things science COMPLETELY understands, like fat loss. any real legit dietician or nutritionist would know that fat loss is a simple matter of calories in vs. calories out. it doesn't matter where the calories come from. anyone who says otherwise is either lying or misguided. yes, i'm saying all the stuff you read and hear about from the mainstream about fat loss (and pretty much most health-related stuff) is flat out false. ignore what the marketing execs want you to believe so you can continue to buy their products and services and listen more to science. even then, most people have no idea who to tell if a study is legit (hint: there are just as many bad studies as good studies out there, and they are get published).
no protein intake = greater muscle loss = weight loss not fat loss
not really. Muscle maintenance does require amino acids, but most amino acids can be recycled.
the increase in metabolism that the industry likes to talk about does happen, but only during exercise. it goes back to BMR after you stop exercising. all the other "metabolic enhancements" are usually factoids in which while they are technically true, they only increase your metabolism like maybe 1% at most lol.
ok, so what exactly is this "metabolism"?
