Download MyFitnessPal. Buy a food scale. Religiously count calories.

Consuming less than you expend is the only way to lose weight. It's physics, and it is very hard to have the discipline.

This is true. The formula is simple. Execution is hard

Fasting makes it easy to eat less. Start with 16-8, move to OMAD or alternate

I don’t think this is right. It’s why that professor was able to lose weight on a Twinkie diet

For health, you're correct, but a calorie is merely a unit of measure of energy so all calories are technically equal.

That's what I've always understood. Different foods might impact your heart,

Yes. The backlash to the backlash to the CICO dogma is silly.

You're body is able to absorb calories from carbs/sugar much more easily than

That’s like saying $500 in quarters is worth more than $500 in 20’s.

Not really. What the calorie is packaged in makes a difference in how easily

I’m not saying they are the same. Nor that they impact your health the same way.

If you read the article you'd see that they also affect weight loss differently.

You're body has to invest energy to extract energy. In my post above I tried to

Yeah but what your body does with that calorie is an entirely different matter.

Agreed. Eating healthier is better than eating junk.

Lol, I've got a bit a sweet tooth, I'll be honest. Cougar tails are my weakness.

A cougartail a day will keep the 90’s away.

If time is money, then you've got to sit there and count the quarters to make

That’s not the point. They count the same in the end.

Okay. Sure. Banks will give me less than $500 because quarters are heavier. 🙄

get a calorie counting app like “just lose it” and use it for a few months.

Figure out what your caloric maintenance is, drop that by 500 calories and stick to it.

200g of protein is 800 calories, so if your protein is that high, it will feel
