RE: Why Your Diet Sucks (but mine doesn't)
This theory is so far from the truth, I can't believe people actually still trust it. But, But it's science!
Come on man, we don't live in a world where everyone eats whole and natural foods that honestly shares its caloric value. We live in a world where poisonous ingredients are added to your food and drink to show you that the calories are low, when really they just put in a viral ingredient that consumes calories as well as eats away the lining of your stomach.
Weight management has nothing to do with caloric intake vs. output anymore.
I've proven this theory for myself, I was on a diet of store bought cookies and frozen pizzas for a while and lost quite a bit of weight by eating the right number of calories. It's physics, of course everyone's body responds to different foods differently and some foods can jack up some people's blood sugar which makes them eat more than they ought to. Of course artificial sweeteners are sketchy and those can throw things off as well.
1 can of diet soda with 0 calories, or 1 pint of ale with 200 calories. If you drink one of these a day for a year, which one will cause you to gain more weight?
Both contain poisonous alcohol sugars, hard to say. I did just hear an interview with a woman who turned 104 and attributed her longevity to a daily Diet Coke.
Like I said "Of course artificial sweeteners are sketchy and those can throw things off as well."
Agreed, eating right is more important than eating less calories of whatever than one consumes.
it depends what your goals are, if you want to be healthy then it gets complicated, if you only want to lose weight it is simple.
