My buy, sell, or hold take on ten contemporary diet trends

What about, when it comes to weight loss, it’s calories in vs calories out above all else?

Slim

7/16/20 10:09am

Is that a diet trend? It seems more like a base assumption to me...

jaromp

Sorry. The trend seems to be ignoring my statement

Slim

7/16/20 10:15am

Overly simplistic. Sell. Hormones, insulin, etc... all play a role. I can

You can't gain weight with a caloric deficit even if you are on insulin

It's about how fast you lose it, what type of weight you lose, muscle or fat or

Of course it will. But when we are talking weight loss we are refering to fat

Caloric deficit will lead to weight loss. That is my point. How to do this in a manner that is sustainable

Hormones may effect the calories out, but calories in vs calories out is the

What does that have to do with anything? If you consume more calories than you use, you'll gain and if you use more than

False. Your body is extremely efficient. It can adjust for less calories and

Then you adjust your caloric intake or increase exercise to maintain a caloric deficit

Slim

Yes, you can do that. But if you factor in the role of insulin, etc... and how

What are you talking about? I'm saying CICO is true. But it is not the end all

My statement was "above all else" of course there are nuances on how to do it in a sustainable manner and stay healthy.

Slim

The jury is still out for me on the CICO trend. On one hand it's good because it

Wait, so if you stop doing what you were doing to lose, you gain weight back?

Yes, but you may actually gain weight back much faster and will continue to gain

That does absolutely nothing whatsoever to refute my comment.

It absolutely does. If you're trying to say all that matters is CICO than

I think you're reading way more into my posts than I actually wrote. Everything you said falls under the CICO umbrella.

I agree with all these except I'd change 7 and 9 to hold.
