Bottom line Low carbohydrate diets can be very effective for weight loss, according to research. Reducing carbs tends to reduce your appetite and cause automatic weight loss, or.Both a low-carb diet and calorie counting can help you lose weight, but there are some key differences to keep in mind. When it comes to losing weight, both a low-carbohydrate diet and counting calories can help you shed pounds and keep them off, as long as you stick with your chosen plan.Your calorie count is what matters in the end if you want to lose weight.
1 However, as you count calories, it is helpful to look at your balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. If you keep your carb intake within recommended guidelines (50% to 65% of your total calorie intake), 1 that leaves enough room to eat protein and fat.Some nutritionists recommend a ratio of 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 30 percent fat as a good target for healthy weight loss.
A.The bottom line is if you are counting net carbs, you may be inadvertently taking in more carbohydrate calories than you think you are. This, of course, may also be interfering with your weight loss. In my opinion, it is better to count total carbs and.
On her television show, Oprah Winfrey claimed to have lost weight by switching from bad carbs to good. Likewise, many diet programs, such as Body-for-Life, tout the health benefits of good carbs.To lose weight counting calories, you would set a daily goal for your calorie intake. An example could be cutting 500 calories a day. Over the course of the week, this would equal about 1 pound of.
Low carb and ketogenic diets, in which you eat fewer carbs than calculated here, are also popular among people with specific fitness and weight-loss goals. If you’re new to tracking your macros, start with the calculator’s recommendations to get a good starting baseline.By the math alone, replacing fat with carbs seems like a good idea—but it’s not.
Studies have shown that people on a low-fat diet tend to lose less weight than people on a low-carbohydrate.While this estimate varies depending on a number of factors, the Institute of Medicine recommends that a minimum of 130 grams of carbohydrates be consumed daily for adults. Other sources recommend that carbohydrates should comprise 40-75% of daily caloric intake.
Are you considering counting carbs to lose weight? Dieters often get confused about whether they should count carbohydrates, count fat or count calories to lose weight. Certainly, there is no shortage of controversy in medical and fitness communities about which method is best.
The debate often plays out in the media, leaving consumers baffled.The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that you get between 45% and 65% of your calories from carbs. You could think of this as half your plate at each meal can be taken up by carbs.
Also, your calorie count is what matters in the end if you want to lose weight. However, as you count calories, it is helpful to look at your balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. If you keep your carb intake within recommended guidelines (50-65% of your total calorie intake) that leaves enough room to eat a healthy amount of protein and fat.
1. After 6 months, people placed on low-carbohydrate diets lose a lot more weight. And I’m not just talking about a couple pounds. On average, low-carb dieters lost 7 (and as much as 11) more pounds over the course of 6 months than those on a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. 2.
If you’ve ever followed a low-carb diet to lose weight, you know that many require you to count the grams of carbohydrates you consume every day.

If you eat 100g of carbs a day what are your macros? How many percentage of fats you eat and protein? Im quite living a sedentary lifestyle for 2 weeks because im on a fertility treatment. Walking is just allowed as a wrorkout.
I’ve been low carb/ketogenic for a year and a half now. Honestly, I wouldn’t be doing it if I were at a healthy weight. It’s not that the diet is difficult or that I feel particularly deprived; I just love fruits, veggies, legumes and grains. I have to watch my veggie intake to a certain degree too, which can be hard (my raw carrots! ;;). In my experience, it also really limits your options when eating out and in snacking basically, if you want it, you make it yourself.
However! As a weight loss tool, the low-carb diet is very effective. I’ve lost 120 pounds/60 kg so far on it. So, for anyone looking to slim down, I would definitely do some research and try it out.
Great video! I do low carb and I feel very good. What do you think about carb cycling? I’m thinking to do it, having in my highest carb/lower fat day a ratio of 45%carbs 30%fat, and see what happens. Thank you!
Excellent video!!! Very informative. Thank you Dr Zyrowski.��
I’m 6 feet, 350 pounds and have decided to get a hold of my life and take control again. i just checked the calorie calculator and i found out i can eat 3600 calories to maintain my weight…lol. I hope in 3 years time, i can get ripped and be the alpha male I’ve always wanted to be. much love from Africa…Ghana precisely. It’s really difficult to eat healthy in a cultural setting where 95 percent of our meals are heavily carb based. Still gotta try though.
Thanks brother u always giving good advice keep doing ur thing ����������������
What if you fallowing carnivore diet. How is no carbs or fibre hurt you gut.
Fucking hell the amount of self proclaimed doctors popping up in recent times advocating this low carb diet, and they always make everything so complex, i can’t beleive i fell for it a few years ago, losing weight is simple calories in vs cals out
Could you do a video about what’s the difference between keto and low carb? Thank you
How much carbs should i eat to lose weight AND not to get constipated???
Understand why you didn’t answer my question. Thanks for this video
I wish the measurements were not in cups. The world measures in grams! Grams are much more transparent and precise.
How many carbs for keto weight gain? Muscle growth as oppose to fat and fluid gain
Just order your ACV pills and the crazy part is I got it the next day and then I realize you’re only 25 mins away from me!!! Can’t wait to try the pills
I tried low carb. It was the dumbest and single most health damaging thing I did. Heart arrytmia, parasympathic nerve distortions, bad sleep, high cholesterol, the list goes on. Stop promoting this health damaging practice, doc!
It’s quite clear to keep carb below 100g on a low carb diet but what about protein? I’m confused about amount of fats & protein on a low carb diet.
Thank you dr Z you are doing tremendous job
Can you elaborate please that how much carbs for a diabetic patient per day and per meal is safe and what about complex carbs for diabetes
Hi Dr. Nick. What about the carbs on protein? Is there a significant amount of carbs on beef, chicken, or pork? If so, then you have to include that in your carb daily allowance, right?
Also, if you take collagen peptide/hydrosylate, will the 10g of protein per serving count towards your protein daily allowance? As always, thank you for all the informative videos you post.
Sadly i cant afford 7 dollars because of this hell of a country i live in but ty for the vid!!!!!
Anytime i try low carbing my thyroid goes off. Wats ur advice
I’m down 13 Ibs over the last 3 weeks. After falling off for so so long. I stay under 100ish carbs most days. And I feel great when I do this. Lost 50 lbs using this basic method before. Gain some back after dealing with depression for a bit after my grandpa death. But I’m back in my journey. I’m 237 trying to get under 200 by the end of the year.
Thanks dr. I have 900 calories per day so l found 50 gr carbs is too much. Can l consume less than that?
Thank you so much doc….your explanation and video help me a lot…thanks again.
I like your personality and presentation style and content. Cute to boot.
How does a “Dr.” not know the difference between “much” and “many”?
Could you do a video on how much Keto desserts (cakes, cookies breads etc) should be consumed using these carbs. The you tube and Facebook are just full of desserts. How will these affect those new to keto or maybe not so new, and trying to break their cravings for sugar.
This video is much needed tho..theres not much information about a low carb diet.. As long as I hit the gym and train while fasted I can eat carbs. Only thing is I dont eat dried fruit or any fruit besides berries here and there.. my carb source would be sweet potatoes or beans generally..too much carbs gives me bad habits
ZERO..I know that’s close to impossible only carbs I try to get come from vegetables.But i do carnivore 3 days a week and OMAD as often as possible..good video
Hello. I am new to your channel. How do I calculate my calorie requirements? Thanks.
Why are people on the carnivore diet in great health?they never eat fiber
Hey Brix u have really helped kick off my weight loss I started at 337 pounds I’m down to 216 pounds still have a lot of fat around abdomen. Question as u continues does people’s abdomen normally come back flat even with the extra skin or is there a possibility u could have so much extra skin that still looks like your full of fat in your lower abdomen. I’m ready for my lower abdomen to raise sink in more lol
Didn’t listen to the blog but I know the answer tops 30 grams or less not easy to do but that’s the facts
Why don’t you put up pictures of certain plates that add up to your equation my brother just a thought…
Appreciate you ����
I sometimes eat a slice of sourdough bread for carbs and it doesn’t trigger any sibo symptoms for me plus it helps keep healthy weight on me. Is the sourdough bread bad long term?
I have been doing keto for 2 months now, and I have found I can only have about 15 net grams or so. Any more than that and I don’t seem to loose anything, I am seriously considering doing a carnivore died for a for a few months. Almost all of my carbs are from veggies. The rest are from things like eggs and cream that still have a few carbs. Any suggestions?
Have been on a low carb way of eating for years and it works for me. If it ain’t broken, don’t change it.
Hi.. do we need to spilt up soluble and insoluble fibre from the total fibre amount in order to get the true value of the net carbs?
Hi Sir, hope you are good. Actually I’ve a question can I use unpasteurized organic Apple cider vinegar with mother during breastfeeding?? Kindly reply. Thank you!!
This is just superb, I’ve been looking for “what is good to eat on a low carb diet” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Ronaliana Future Falbala (do a search on google )? Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Wow, this is a great video presentation. You did a great job explaining. I’ve Been on a Keto lifestyle for 2 years, and I have to say your presentation was super.
The Keto lifestyle has help me so much. I weighed 301 LBS a year ago, and now I’m 185 LBS. Again great job����
U jus need to be in a caloric deficit that’s it to lose weight
Hey Brix, My name is Jonathan and I just bought your nutrition guide, HIIT workout guide, and 12 week transformation guide. I confirmed my subscription for all three and was emailed back links for only the HIIT workout guide and 12 week transformation guide. Along with this, both of the links do not work. The 12 week transformation guide takes me to a website linking me to the general front page of brixfitness.com and the other links me to a PDF that is blank. Any assistance would be appreciated as I cannot access the materials I have purchased
Wow Dr Nick this video open my eyes to so much great information thanks. Hey Dr Nick do you know anything about (proargi 9 plus) thank you and have a bless day
it does not matter what you putr in your body, its the net callories
I can only speak for myself but when I have felt my absolute best physically is when I consumed almost no carbohydrates at all.I understand that it may not be that way for everyone I’m just sharing with anyone who cares to know. Just keep hustling guys ����
Does Custokebon Secrets really work? I see a lot of people keep on speaking about Custokebon Secrets. But Im not sure if it’s good enough to lost crazy amounts of weight.
Has anyone tried Fenoboci Diet Plan? (google it) We’ve noticed numerous amazing things about this popular lose weight methods.
So you should subract the dietary fiber grams from the carbs and that equals the ACTUAL carbs consumed??
I eat around 70g of carbs a day, with 30g of fat and around 50g of protein. I’m not very active, and I’m a teenager. Is this enough?
Nice Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (probably on Google)? It is a good one off product for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.
I’ve been doing low carb for 2.5 weeks and I’ve lost 13.6 pounds. I track my calories and carbs I stay at 1000 under my maintenance amount and between 50-75 carbs per day. It’s been really easy and I didn’t have the “low carb flu” for more than a day. With this kind of eating will I be able to see sustained weight lose the ought the year? Also, I am 35, male, 6′ 4″ and started at 450 pounds. I’m trying the lose the first 100 pounds by next April.
I love your vids and really appreciate you sharing your experience. At 66 I started 3 months ago and have lost 30lbs. Diet and exercise. My goal is 160 and then muscle up. I must say I feel better than I did when I was 40. No kidding. Thank you.
Hmmm, seems to me many people are doing quite well on carnivore.
Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off product for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate finally got great success with it.
Why not mention that the healthiest people in the world eat starch based diets while having a healthy weight and abismal amount of deaths by carb disease?
The easiest cheapest healthiest way to lose weight and keep it away in the long term is starch based diet. All 5 blue zones confirm this.
LOLL this is all crap information people!! listen to lose weight you need to do one thing: BE IN A CALORIE DEFICIT!!! you can eat 500 g of carbs a day if your in a deficit you will lose weight!! carbs are not your enemies just need to eat clean, workout & count your calories period!!
This could be right in theory, but practically, not that much. It is limiting and boring to people.
Appreciate Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.
Okay so I need 121 grams of protein, and also for me, no more than 80 grams of carbs. I feel great when I have 80 grams of carbs.
High fiber is highly debated. There are studies that show negative effects of fiber. My wife and I have been keto for 4 years with NO fruits or vegetables and we have no bowel issues and our blood work looks awesome. Too many people blindly advocate high fiber which I think is a bit negligent. Dr. Berg always advocates 10 cups of vegetables daily which is just ridiculous. Our bodies cannot digest fiber and plenty of butyrate can be consumed from full fat dairy, especially butter. Studies also show that fiber DOES NOT prevent cancer. Do your research people. Plenty of well done studies out there. Most fiber studies cited by people trying to convince you of how good fiber is are Epidemiological studies which are very poorly done. Too many confounding factors with these types of studies.
Thanks for breaking this down for us. I was one of those people who were scared to death of carbs. I mistakenly thought that only low carb diets were effective. But I found out that as long as I keep my carb percentage at about 25-30% I can still lose weight! That is so liberating! And it is so much more sustainable than super restrictive low carb diets. I have a long way to go, but I am gonna continue to track my calories and macros and lose the rest of this weight!!
Lost 40 lbs in 8 days fasting. Started 350 down to 310 this morning. Follow my journey.
i swim, cycle, walk and train with wts. Low carb. No thanks. No size fits all.63 years old, I think i know my body by now.
Sir In 750 Calories…..
Dietary fiber and Sugar is included or excluded
Why not mention that those who follow a low-carb diet have higher mortality rates? Seems important.
I like this video because it’s clear and to-the-point on explaining the 3 levels of low-carb diets.
Nice Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy at very last got cool results with it.
I’m diabetes type 2 Can I take metophormin when I’m in ketoginic as my blood suger becomes high when I consume carbs even from vegetables?
According to the.75 rule and simple calculator math, with my weight I should be eating 294 grams of protein a day. I can’t even get over 115 If I’m lucky. I don’t live an active lifestyle, I mean I exercise 30-40 minutes a day but other than that it’s mostly sitting. How much protein do I need if I live a somewhat sedentary lifestyle?
Thank you for making this video! I like the Keto way of eating but I don’t need to lose weight nor do I want to gain weight. I was wondering how many carbs I should eat to just maintain weight but not eat to many carbs or too little. No more than 100 sounds right for me.
There is no debate on the fact that low carb = low insulin = fat loss. High carb does not work for the majority of people when it comes to weight loss. Higher fat also = satiety and a lot more flavour in food.
Several doctors say 100 grams is powerful and is enough. I seem to only need no more than that.
I thought you were going to tell people the body type things was a myth and that there is no exercise or “diet” for body type. Only exercise and eating protocols they can adhere to and what works for each person specific goals.
Hey, I was curious since you have lost a large amount of weight.., in the beginning, did your knees give you trouble? While you were running or working out? I’ve been getting into the stair climber and squats but my knees have recently become sore after a workout. I know I’m doing the exercise properly, maybe just muscles I don’t use enough?
Love the application of science involved bro. Steadily dropping by keeping myself in caloric deficit and staying consistent on the proper meal content. #getmoney
Informative video doc. What about red wine and weight loss, is it possible?
I feel you on the.75 protein per lb body weight….once I had a coach that put me on 160g protein and I’m 130lbs…..I started developing digestion problems����♀️
60-80 grams of fat or less a day gotta count that more important then counting clean carbs.
So here’s my story, i’ve been playing soccer for over 2 years now, i was around 85kg when i began and now i’m 77, it just got stuck there, i play soccer everyday and i dont see any changes in myself i’m obsessed with soccer and i want to progress but my body doesn’t help me.
Your awesome! Thank you so much for all your help. I’m binge watching your videos and with all this information I’m getting healthier and healthier. Thank you Dr. Z. Things are finally looking up for me and I’m changing the way my family eats. I never realized how bad our food system is till I went Keto and I’m learning all these things! We need more doctors to start caring more about how they can get their patients healthier through food that’s safe and teach these things instead of here’s another pill.
Brix I’m 6’3 and I’m currently at 214, I was 280 about 1 year ago. But if I want to weigh 200 do I do the math off the 200lb weight goal or do it off what I weigh now? Thanks!
Love your channel, but there is conflicting information about somatotypes (endo, ecto, mesomorph) and its value. Some fitness personalities say that the body type theory didnt even originate in fitness but from a psychologist who was trying to relate body types to personalities. So this may have to be a theory that requires more research as to its worth in fitness. Again, I love the content and this wasnt a criticism of you.
So, the difference between Keto and Low carb is the range of the grams of carbs eaten. For instance: Keto carbs are under 50, (preferably under 20 grams), and Low carb under 10 grams. Ok. I get it. Thanks for this great information.
I do the 16/8 diet but 2 to 4 days a week eat pinto beans eat up to a pound a day some days there not keto friendly but national geographic did a study where people from all parts of the world lived to be over 100 had in common bean consumption beans also prvent insulin spiking from other meals called the 2nd and third meal effect great fiber and very filling especially homemade chili with grass fed ground beef cayenne pepper and turmeric and pink salt to season with a cup of bacon grease
I’m stuck in a mine field of information, working my fat ass of a 6am every morning and not losing weight. been tracking cals, macros, doing I.F. eating quality foods. I’m soooo pissed off right now!!!
Great video! I was counting total carbs and eat 5-6 cups of veg a day. This knowledge is good to have. Thank you
awesome video bro! i DM’d you on insta yesterday and i think you answered my question with this, thank you dude ����
Zero zip nada none..
I do it regularly. Simple. Carbs are NOT ESSENTIAL.
After watching your videos I learned the right way to eat based on my macros. I’m now 10 pounds down in a month!! Thank you!!! ��
The Society of Automotive Engineers recommends not to eat too many carburetors because of high aluminum and zinc content.
If fiber is so important, than explain why people that switch to carnivore diet, have zero fiber related issues? In fact, it’s been shown that cutting out fiber, removes the reasons you need the fiber in the first place. It’s like people that claim cigarettes help them lower stress, when it’s the cigarettes that caused the stress in the first place, that then requires cigarettes to lower it lol
Bird! Solid video dude! Question though: How does carb intake impact your sleep?
@Brix I am so proud of you!!! I can’t believe how much this channel has grown. I remember when you were starting out, but you set goals and you are blowing them out of the water! Proud of you bruh!!! Congratulations!!! You are the example of everything you preach!!!����
Just wanna say thank you, I’ve lost 10 lbs in the last month&1/2 thanks to your support. I’ve still got a ways to go but I’ll get there, Keep it up bro.
