Counting Calories Is A Ridiculous Way To Try And Lose Weight | Think | NBC News
Video taken from the channel: NBC News
Counting calories is often panned by trendy diet experts, but the fact is that creating a calorie deficit is the foundation of any diet. Every weight loss program that works has you reduce your calories enough to create a deficit. Consider carb-cutting diets. The carbs you cut are usually refined carbs, like bread or white rice or baked goods.
There are three reasons why calorie counting works: Tracking your calories can help you identify which eating patterns you need to modify to successfully lose weight ( 50 ).It sounds simple. However, it’s more complex because when you lose weight, you usually lose a combination of fat, lean tissue and water.
Also, because of changes that occur in the body as a result of weight loss, you may need to decrease calories further to continue weight loss.Counting calories can encourage you to ignore your hunger cues. Focusing entirely on calories, instead of the quality of the food you’re eating and how you actually feel before chowing down.
That’s why it’s so important to consider the big picture when considering which foods are best for weight loss. Calorie value is only one piece of the puzzle.This simple fact means that counting calories and limiting your intake can be effective to prevent weight gain or lose weight, as long as you manage to stick to it. One review found that weight.
The best way to break this fattening cycle is to replace processed carbs with healthy fats, argues Dr. Ludwig: “Fats don’t raise insulin at all, so they can be a key ally for weight loss.”.If you’re counting calories to lose weight, but eating higher-fat foods like bacon and full-fat cheese, you could potentially consume over half your day’s calorie allotment by the end of breakfast.The Step Diet: What It Is.
If you are looking for a way to lose weight, keep it off forever and be healthier, then the Step Diet is for you. There’s no counting of carbs, fat grams, or calories.Counting Calories To Lose Weight Fast: Lose Weight And Prevent Cancer With Total Cleanse: With more and more people eating processed foods that contain little to no dietary fiber, it extremely is no wonder one in extremely four Americans are clinically obesene product that has hit the business is Total Cleanseotal Cleanse is a high fiber dietary supplement that helps you flush weight and.
Advantages: One advantage of calorie counting over more structured diets is that calorie information is readily available and easy to track — especially now that many restaurants include calorie information on their menus or websites.I agree that diets and calorie or macro counting can work in the short-term for weight loss but research shows us that it does not work for long-term weight loss maintenance. The majority of people will regain the weight by the 6 year follow-up mark and up to 2/3 will put on more weight.
The calorie calculator is very useful for weight management as it displays how many calories are needed over the specified period of time. It keeps track of your weight loss and calories required. The less you weigh, the fewer calories you will need to take in for weight loss to continue.Most carrot cake uses a crap ton of butter, sugar, and nuts, so the calorie count is going to be naturally high. If I had to take a guess, I’d say the slice of carrot cake above is 300-400 calories.
So the next time you look up the calorie count of a dish online and it sounds too good to be true it probably is.Correlation is not causation, so it would be wrong to say that counting calories causes obesity. However, at best, counting calories seems to be an imperfect aid to weight control. So what’s really going on?
As it turns out, hormonal regulation may be the key.

I really dont like counting calories cause it stresses me out and I gained a bunch of weight after loosing it. I started to write it down in a journal right before I go to bed, I was wondering, do you get really sleepy when your body goes on starvation mode? because I didn’t have any energy for anything for a while I literally come home and just want to lay down:(
Oh my gosh you’re making me tear up!! You’re honestly such an inspiration to me ❤️❤️
Ah yes. I love breaking the laws of thermodynamics.
Go back to high school man.
You can eat at a calorie deficit without counting every calorie
so if this is true, how do anorexics lose weight? Because they do eat, but less than 500 calories a day mmmmmm
I wanna lose weight should I eat less? “Yes!” Okay. Jk that makes no difference.. what? Listen if I eat less I’m gonna lose weight it’s common since I’ve done it
this video comment section taught me most people are morons when it comes to nutrition. A calorie is a metric of how much food energy is literally burned in a literal fire. your body does NOT take food and burn it with fire. Therefore this metric is basically useless from a nutritional standpoint. Dr. Fung’s point was that certain foods release certain hormones, so pure sugar calories are going to release fat storage hormones where as protein and fat calories don’t provoke that response in the body as much.
where is your black body suit from? ����
love your videos. such a inspiration
Just fyi… protein isnt high on keto… its moderate, cause your body can break down proteins like carbs… so you cant eat too much protein. Fat yes! High fat for sure:)
theres so muccccccch info to take in when trying to eat healthy….. one place says less calories others say calories dont matter one says to much fruit is bad one says to much fruit is bad…. stuff like that then you hear that fats are bad but now your body needs them! its so confusing. Counting calories can be good when loosing weight, I lost 2 stone by doing it that way. If your just being healthy theres no need to count them really.
Counting calories is not ridiculous. Creating a calorie deficit is the only way to lose fat. This video is not helpful for confused overweight people trying to change their habits.
Just to clarify:
3/12 Starch (Complex Carbs)
4/12 Protein
5/12 Fiber (Complex Carbs)
side note* edamame contains more protein than fiber and could be used as a protein source for a plant based/vegan/vegetarian diet. However, in this case assuming you already have your protein source edamame is also good source of fiber & good fats!
Seriously! Im really sick of everyone trying to say something different! Like make up all of your minds or f*** off!
I lost 10 kgs with calorie deficit in 6 months…however now I am excercising twice…eating same calories and not losing weight! He is right
It’s like saying a pound of feather or a pound or rocks which of those are heavier. Calories in calories out. Just be in a caloric deficit. It’s not that hard. Ppl just make it hard by tryin to tell you what to do when it comes to Marcos counting.
I lost 60 pounds counting calories. You can prove this wrong from first hand experience and scientifically. A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. Calculate your basil metabolic rate + any calories burned through exercise if any and eat in a caloric deficit (eat less calories than you burn/less than your basil metabolic rate) download the app lose it!
I mean sure, I’m not gonna try and debunk a scientist but when I eat 1200 calories I lose weight consistently.
I am a male in my 50s, 5’3″ in height. After several back surgeries, I ballooned to 203lbs (was at a chunky 145lbs before surgery). It took me a little over a year to get down to 128lbs (3lbs from my goal). I counted calories AND I quit using back pain as an excuse not to exercise. Lost 8″ in my waist and double digit BMI. My success was the fact I counted calories which enabled me to reduce my weight to a level that it was no longer dangerous or excruciating to exercise. COUNTING CALORIES WAS THE KEY TO MY SUCCESS
counting calories can be done on home made food healthy food healthy choices
just to make sure you are not over eating
because when the food is tasty people tend to eat more
in that case calarie counting can be done with a balanced diet
lol how can someone calarie count on junk food the whole day
Really
Also we need to Workout as well
Strength trading also
I just wished our bodies would actually speak out loud and literally tell us this is exactly how much I need to eat to either lose, gain or maintain weight, without depending on stupid calculators because every body burns differently calculators don’t consider metabolism.
Thank you so much for the info girl! A video of post-workout foods would be amazing ❤️
I have a slight issue with the phrase “eating less” that she says several times. A person can actually eat a greater volume of food and less calories by incorporating more vegetables. You don’t need to starve or even feel hungry to create a calorie deficit.
Definitely shouldn’t call this “Why You Should Stop Counting Calories”
but more like
“It’s Not As Easy As Just Counting Calories”
because I can somewhat agree. Every body has a different reaction to things. But counting calories is still a VERY important step to lose weight.
To the person reading this that is on the market for their next diet: Skip advice from guys like this, tune it out of your life, and do this one thing instead: count your calories. It works. And you won’t be wasting your time overcomplicating things. Chances are you’ll have succes if you do this and make it a habit. If you want to make sure, then don’t make it your “diet”. Keep watching your calorie intake even after you’ve lost weight, and you will accurately be able to control your weight.
Lol so if I increase my caloric intake by 50% my metabolism will go up by 50% and the calories I eat will balance out and I wont gain any weight? LMAOOOOO ok dude
I started crying when you were getting emotional! I 100% understand how you feel about accidentally losing weight. I’m in that stage at the moment where I’ve under-eaten and overtrained for so long that I struggle to lose any body fat at all.
You’ve really inspired me, so I’m taking a page out of your book and focusing on my health this year! Xx
i have an eating disorder & im trying not to coUNT CALORIES and it’s so hard but it’s less stress (kind of)
It’s pretty simple. If you aren’t losing weight after some time then lower your calories. Yes, your basal metabolic rate changes as your body changes, but that’s why you keep track of your weight loss and the calories you’re consuming. If your BMR slows, then you drop calories. It’s not rocket science. Be patient, listen to your body, COUNT YOUR CALORIES, track your weight loss, then adjust as needed. It’s not hard. Everyone overcomplicates weight loss probably because they are struggling at it themselves because they aren’t doing the necessary things like I mentioned above, so they blame other factors. Yet, let me watch everything you eat for months on end and count your calories and I can tell you why you’re not losing weight. People simply aren’t doing it right then justifying why they can’t. They are either lazy, not educated enough, not doing it properly or making excuses. If you look at the tragic events of the holocaust and those forced into concentration camps, these guys were skin and bones because they were forced to not eat and they were starving. It’s not like those in concentration camps had the luxury of making excuses or overcomplicating weight loss, like a lot of people who are overweight in our societies. So yes, it’s common sense the less food (calories) you eat you WILL lose weight. Don’t overcomplicate it! These type of videos above are crap and just hoopla
Its not a ridiculous way at all. It’s an imperfect way that works.
It might not be 100% scientific correct to say that a calorie is a calorie. But actively watching your intake and expenditure will allow you to control your fat percentage.
Does Custokebon Secrets really help to lost a ton of weight? We’ve learn many good things about this popular weight loss methods.
It’s a guarantee if you burn more calories than you eat you will lose weight. I think in simpler terms if you eat less but also move less then there is no deficit. The only way to truly be in a deficit is to be slightly hungry. If you aren’t a tad bit hungry, you’ve eaten the same calories as you burned or more.
If there are any ppl on here saying “shes wrong,calorie counting works”. Please check out Dr. Jason Fungs videos. He is very informative and talks A lot about this exact topic. Autumn is right in this video. Its facts, plain and simple.
I was having a pizza with my friend when he said he was on a diet and pizza is his regular cheat meal and part of diet plan he got from *Next Level Diet*. I thought he was crazy, but after a month I noticed his body has changed a lot. He looked better than ever. I should really visit that website
Ok, here is why JM is wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaPJMuTNLXI
Watch Supersize vs Superskinny program. Most super skinny people there survive on sugar alone. Crisps, chocolate bars, Coke, some drink 20 teas a day with 5 sugars in each cup. The only reason they stay skinny and underweight they eat very few calories, even if those calories are sugar!
My own friend is living proof. Vegan, eating carbs only, including all the refined “bad” ones and sugar but she only eats tiny portions. She’s 53kg and 172cm. Skinny! And not even put on weight during lockdown…
I have learned so much through the “Kοnοnοz yyd” (Search it on Gοοglε) and also have shed some ugly belly fat i never ever assumed I could get rid of and it permitted me to do it the healthy way. Since then, I have lost 15 lbs of my very own weight and also have ripped my body, a way better than heading to a health and fitness center. I feel as if it has granted me more strength..
This man is incredible! Look up his youtube videos and books!
Nah it works and teaches you to eat responsibly
Lost 9 pounds
It’s not what you eat, it’s how much. I lost weight by eating croissants and pizza, just limited the portions and ate a lot of fruit and veg in between
you should watch Greg doucette Calories are caloies it doesnt matter
I calculated my Calories for a day, and I only eat around 700. I should be as thin as a Pencil! LOL!!! I’m barely hungry. However, I’m ALWAYS thirsty.
Before there was Greg there was Jillian. Calorie deficit morons!
I think he’s a biochemistry nerd and he believes in fasting and the benefits it has chronic diseases like diabetes where hormones like insulin are key to solving those issues. He’s interested in the hormones and other biochemical signals released in the blood stream in response to diets and exercise. Our body does respond to calorie deficits by decreasing our metabolic rate which makes us lose less fat even when we are at a deficit. We call this a plateau and to fix it, we change our diet temporarily to get our bodies to biochemically change our metabolic rate. Then we go back to our calorie deficit and our bodies take time to adapt again. During that time, we lose weight. So he’s right, but he’s also misleading in how he presents the idea because he wants your attention. If it was impossible to lose weight or a “waste of time” counting calories, then there would not be a mountain of scientific evidence that suggests that it works as a weight loss strategy. And as most people in the comments have pointed out, they’re losing weight just fine. I’ve tried counting calories and I lost weight consistently as well.
It wasn’t ridiculous for me. I lost 19 lbs in 3 months and dropped my waistline by about 4 inches. Despite what snake oil salesmen tell you it’s very simple. To lose weight you have use more energy than you consume. No rocket science involved.
I lost 50 pounds by tracking my calories. Yes, I also changed my Diet (Home cooked, no junk food, sweets, alcohol, soda etc), and did some exercise,..but no cardio,…mostly weights. If the thesis in this video is true, I could reduce my calorie intake to (lets say) 500 cal or even 300 cal a day, and my body would adjust?,…I would loose no weight??? What if I only eat 10 calories a day, would my body adjust or would I loose weight to the point where I eventually starve? I know that we digest different nutrition in different ways, and that there are people who have a higher metabolism rate than others,…but that only means, that you have to find your specific calorie requirement. Yes, the BMR tools will give you just a rough idea,…but a very useful one. Your body will adjust, but only within boundaries and you will have to react to it. It took almost a year until i reached a plateau and had to change things up a little.
Browse google to discover relating to this diet guide “Kοnοnοz yyd” (Google it). Just after 3 weeks of usage, I have noticed results just like dropping 12 lbs in my excess fat whilst not adjusting a lot on my exercise and dieting. It really feels good to have this. I really believe it has determined me and also inspired me..
Well, what he said is partially true. When you reduce calories in or exceed your calories out, your Basic Metabolic Rate will reduce, but it will not reduce so much. But that is the way too loose fat, if your BMR reduce and your weight reduction is stagnant, just go lower on calories. Your BMR will not forever reduce. Take some coffee or tea to boost it for a while when you wanna do some work.
Hey, Im a doctor too, but don’t just trust the word because he is a doctor.
The only way to reduce fat is eat less calories and workout more.
If you don’t believe me try his method…. if its not working try the traditional method (eat low calories and workout). You prove it yourself
I heard enough of the hormone nonsense which does minimal on weight loss on human population in comparison to eating too much.
I wish if I knew you earlier Jilian. I had a keto diet with intermittent fasting for a whole year and it affected my health really bad. Now I counting calories and eating balanced diet healthy carbs of veggies and grains.
O.M.G you’re amazing I was just about to start a Keto diet and with all the things that you said I was at aw..// thank you so much…. EXERCISE AND COUNTING CALORIES…. that’s all there is to it and that’s the way. Saludos desde Mexico ����
I’m 42. I have been counting calories for a year now. At 5’11 feet tall, I came down from 265 pounds to 225. That includes falling off the wagon sometimes. It works completely.
I feel counting calories is good for SOME people when losing trying to lose weight. People that have some mental illnesses or something similar I don’t recommend counting calories because there is a chance of developing an eating disorder which in the long run is terrible. Instead focus on changing what you eat daily from an unhealthy and sugary, and fatty foods to a more balanced and overall healthier diet along with some exercise.
They need to quit telling people to stop counting calories. He’s basically still saying count calories. All of these diets count calories so you may as well just count calories and exercise to get down to your ideal weight just like they said a long time ago… If you go back up more than 5 lbs or so, count them again.
Lost 130 pounds counting calories. You automatically eat healthier because you have to survive all day with a limited amount of calories so you need more bang for your buck.
Love your videos!!! Your mindset is golden and you are sooo real with us. I love u!!!!!
Hey Jillian, can you please tell us whats your take on Intermittent fasting?
wow i got so emotional watching this. i can relate to working extra hard to losing weight. you inspire me girl. thanks for sharing this
And how many meals are you supposed have a day? I use a small plate 23 cm. I’m pretty overweight
Georgie you’re so amazing!
You should start linking your outfits because everything you wear is so cute! ��
I reduced my calories and I lost 10kg so what he is saying isn’t exactly true
Is it just me or is that plate an optical illusion? Doesn’t it look upside down? If I look at it, long enough I can see it right.
No one said the calories of kale and brownies are the same. The perso that said that is stupid yes not all calories are good, we should know that. But NOT counting calories does not work for everyone
The thermogenic effect of food is the bottom line. This depends on what is consumed. If it is composed of lipids, protein or carbohydrates. These basic building blocks all require different energy expenditure by the body to be absorbed. Proteins requires the most energy for break down, with carbohydrates and lipids coming in at 2 and 3. In the end it is calories in and calories out, energy expenditure subtracted by total calories consumed is final. Its physics.
This is why you’re supposed to eat a high protein diet and resistance train while keeping your deficit as small as possible, thats how you preserve your metabolic rate and limit the amount it reduces by.
You mentioned that you could potentially notice the difference after a week of proper diet. If someone isn’t starting needing to lose weight, but needs to build muscle mass, how long should that person stick to one style of this diet without seeing results before trying another? (Presuming the food types and workouts are properly done/controlled)
I have a question…. My husband and i are trying to lose weight. He has a chronic paim comditiom that prevents him from being active. Right now all he can do physically is walk for maybe 40 min a day and anu other mobility he reserves gor thimgs he needs to do i.e: taling care of a dog and kids. Are there any safe excersises so!eone with chronic pain can do to help weight loss without triggering a attack?
Calories in, calories out does not work. Look at those people that participated in the biggest loser, their weight came back. As per Dr. Fung “You can exercise all you want but you cannot exercise your liver”.
It’s a lot easier to stick to your diet plan when you know that you can have cheat meal twice a week without ruining your progress. Guys from NextLevelDiet are doing a great job. Visit their website and see for yourself.
Basically it’s better to eat lots of healthy calories than less bad calories
I didn’t bother to watch the video. The comment section is more helpful though ��
I count calories, 71 pounds lost in 10 months. I keep it simple, 2 pounds a week. Best diet I have ever been on and I don’t have to deprive myself of my favorite food, just eat them in moderation and make sure they fit into my daily calorie limit. Everyone doesn’t want to be on diets where you can’t eat fruit, bread, rice, etc. Do what works for you! Are people not supposed to try to lose weight because calorie counting is being called stupid?? If it works for them, let them live!
Counting calories is fine. Obsessing over calories is the problem many have. Like count them in a manner that’s accurate to the 100s….but don’t sit there and obsess over if you added one more clove of garlic or a teaspoon more of coffee creamer that you should be counting. There are also many things that aren’t even necessary to count. Along with the more commonly known things like celery etc that people say don’t matter, I also wouldn’t count any greens or whole foods below 20 calories.
Counting calories is a great way to curb overeating initially, resulting in some weight loss initially. If you continue to monitor calories for what your BMR at your goal weight would be, continue exercise, reduce the calories that come from carbs, and switch calories to more nutrient dense calories while remaining in the range you wantyou will see an improvement in steady consistent weight loss. Also, allowing for fasting, meaning eating certain time periods of the day will help in regulating insulin
Who is watching looking for ways to get rid of the quarantine food baby?
The truth is that the only way people could lose weight in a sustainable way and keep the weight off for good was by counting calories and then maintaing the same diet. No one can overcome termodynamics: calories in vs calories out.
What if I count calories AND eat healthy, unprocessed foods? The way I see it, when I reach my target weight, I won’t go back to eating bad, processed foods like I used to, I will simply keep eating the same thing except a little bit more since I won’t be aiming to lose but simply not gain. Does that make any sense? I’m genuinely curious. I am counting calories because it gives me a feeling of being in control, whereas if I was not, I could overeat calories, even with good foods! So far, it is working great and I have not have any cravings nor am I hungry and I believe, perhaps falsely so, that it is because I eat good foods. Thoughts? Any help appreciated!!!
Er a calorie is a calorie. Different foods have different nutrient breakdowns but it is still a calorie from a measurement point of view!!
I love rules of thumb. Simplifying the progress definitely helps with sticking to it.
Strange that fats have no place on your plate. Definitely makes it harder to feel
full for a mostly vegan / vegetarian diet.
The BMR is for calculating the calories are to eat to maintain weight correct? Also, if im exercising (im running) for 30 min a day would i kinda be between 2 & 3 on the active level since im not quite a training but more active thsn someone whos say on their feet all day in clothing store (your example)?
Hey you guys! Sorry I’ve been MIA this month I’ve been putting this together for you! Haha, seriously:) This is a longer video, but I really hope that it can be helpful to you if you have been struggling with calories, and getting obsessive with counting calories, or have been feeling frustrated about losing weight. There is no such thing as a “weight loss secret” (unfortunately, lol) BUT this is the closest thing (that has helped me such a great deal)! You guys have asked me so many times to talk about my point system eating plan so here it is “Liezl Jayne’s Point System”!! Give the entire video a good watch because even though it’s long, I wanted to explain it to you as clearly as possible so that you could all understand. And I feel like if you spend 30 minutes watching it fully then you should understand. I hope so! Love you all and I hope this helps! XOXOXOXO
YOU LITERALLY SAVED ME FROM COUNTING CALORIES ����❤❤❤❤❤
OMG LOVE YOUUUU
This video is so annoying because she struggles to make a single sentence without a jump cut.
Welp I’m starting this method tmrw I’ll see if I can keep motivated because I used to workout everyday and eat rlly healthy and I was obsessed with eating healthy but I hit a wall and stopped working out and lost my abs ate after 7 o clock again and ate cake cookies and Ice cream again and even tho I’m still skinny I wish I was toned again and was the best version of myself
this guy just added more confusing information to the already insane contradicting nutritional info out there. and to make it worse, he didn’t even give any helpful advice or alternatives. he just said counting calories doesn’t work, and left it at that. this video is bad.
Am I the only one in the world who wants to gain some wait to not look like a stick figure?
What bring me to tears when I try to lose weight is my drinks (and not talking about alcohol). They let the calories add up so quickly and then it’s just tea and coffee, not even my breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks, so what must one drink, only water or black tea and black coffee. I try to stick with 3 cups of coffee with milk a day and water in between, but with frothed milk it’s about 120 150 calories depending on the size of coffee. So what do other people do? Please give advice, how do you tackle a day without caffeine. Do you only drink a coffee in the morning and water during the day or drink them black or don’t drink coffee or tea at all. Goodness me, what do I have to be exited then about if I can not sit and enjoy a coffee on a cold day or after a hard days work in front of the telly and I coffee to open my eyes is a must. Now I eat only a fruit for lunch with a coffee, because there is not enough calories for breakfast with a coffee, normal lunch and a coffee and dinner with a coffee. As something must give way and that is now lunch. Can’t believe that 1200 calories can be used up do easily. If it isn’t enough giving up cake and tarts, now the coffee seems to go as well.
This is an old video but what bread is the banana toast bread?
I’m 2 yrs too late but this is really amazing!! I have been binge watching yr vids. Gonna go get yr book and have it printed
I think this is brilliant and makes calorie counting more doable. Ty
Does Custokebon Secrets (google it) help me lost crazy amounts of fat? I see many people keep on talking about this popular weight loss diet plan.
“10 chicken breasts not appetizing”
Me chowing down on chicken and beef diet and feeling good everyday for months
Loved your advice! Your video was very helpful to me. I bought your book because I’m intrigued! I want to learn more of your smart hacks. Thanks for the tip!
I’m starting a grad job next week and you are giving me so much hope in maintaining my healthy lifestyle woooo! Thanks Georgie:)
Love your channel so much Georgie! Been a subscriber from some time now and I am so happy for you with your growth in happiness, love for your body image, and that your body is back to normal!
Title is misleading. Hes trying to explain macronutrients but he keeps calling everything calories. Too simplified. He also didnt mention how exercise is another big factor in weight management
But isn’t cutting carbs essentially caloric restriction (aka dieting)? Also, isn’t glucose (derived from whole foods, like fruit) our body’s preferred fuel source?
For some reason, its always the individuals who promote intermittent fasting, keto, or low carb that have a problem with the calories in vs calories out model. There is no debate with this, regardless of what you eat or when you eat, you NEED a caloric deficit to lose weight. The concept he mentions regarding your metabolic rate slowing down when you reduce calories does happen, but not to the extent in which in stops you from losing weight. When you’re on a deficit, it is strongly advised that you keep your calories as HIGH AS POSSIBLE while maintaining a deficit and eating a high protein diet with resistance training. Those in combination will in fact preserve your metabollic rate.
This is a good video with some good information BUT, I don’t care for how she puts everyone in the same spectrum. Like when she says that when you count calories you basically only eat packaged or processed foods because its easier to keep up with your calorie intake. Maybe true for SOME but not many. The statement was also correct about your body being smart and being able to adapt therefore you won’t lose weight anymore. There are several ways to combat that like carb cycling, increasing your calorie intake to maintenance levels or slightly higher for a week. Its just the same with working oit which wasn’t mentioned at all. When you work out your body will get used to the same exercises over and over. So those exercises won’t have as much affect as it did initially. So you change up your exercises to shock the body. Muscle memory is real but there are ways to combat it. Bottomline, you can lose weight with or without counting calories. For people who are dedicated and disciplined there is nothing wrong with counting calories. Everyone who counts calories don’t just eat packaged foods and processed foods. I would like to see another video where she shows the positives and negatives of calorie counting with out bias. And adds in the many other factors like eating healthy while counting calories, working out while counting calories, and how to avoid plateaus while calorie counting. Cause of all that can be done. Instead of misleading people who probably have done no research for themselves.
“science backed means” and “Holistic methods” do not belong together. Your BMR reduces as your body mass reduces…that’s physics. If you do not reduce your calories as you lose weight… you stop losing weight. It’s not confusing to think that a body at 200lbs uses less energy than a body at 250lbs.
Obviously your content is not for me, but some of your ideals you’re preaching will hurt people. You claim to be science based but your oversimplification of some of these topics is insane. Counting calories is very much a useful tool, not just to hit a number. Its useful to make people think about what they are eating and how much. Claiming it will cause you to GAIN weight with 0 evidence while citing “science” as one of your driving ideals is disingenuous. Counting Calories is a tool anyone who is counting calories without paying any attention to macro nutrients is using the tool wrong.
If you’re 300lbs who lives on twinkies, yes reducing your twinkie calories will see a short term loss of weight, calories in = calories out. However it does NOTHING for the obvious food addiction and malnutrition that the person is obviously suffering. Which is why the weight comes back. You can find sources all over the internet that explain this in great detail. Legitimate ones… that actually show the studies and science behind their information.
The biggest loser contestants did indeed gain their weight back, because they were put on nearly life threatening diets with nearly life threatening amounts of exercise. They were monitored daily by doctors to make sure they didn’t drop dead or have a cardiac crisis. Their hormones were destroyed and they were given absolutely no support or training for what to do after the show was over. You can find interviews with contestants who explain exactly how they ended up gaining the weight back, its not a mystery.
So far as I can tell this channel just wants to copy the nonsense of the Thomas Delauer variety. Spin information to suit their needs and look pretty for the camera. “follow my fad because it worked for me but I can’t be bothered to properly explain homeostasis and how it affects weight loss”.
Judging by your engagement your audience has already figured this all out though.
What is Custokebon Secrets? We’ve noticed several awesome things about this popular weight loss diet plan.
can you show how much is a 1 point of healthy bolognese sauce and what would that look like in a meal, its hard to count when you have many small ingredients involved
It would have been better if I found out this “Yamzoko Weebly” (Google it) a couple of years back. I reduced 12 lbs in 3 weeks so far. There is certainly still need of workouts even just a couple of times a week and also the foods to eat must be best. It showed awesome results for me. I surely advise the product, wish it works as excellent for you mainly because it does for me..

Its about how fast food can move thru your alimentary canal..simple…
I’m 50/50 with him yes counting calories is a bit overkill but you HAVE TO be in a calorie deficit to lose weight
calories in calories out are 100% proven by science. Don’t be a science denier.
Wow! This video is so informative and helpful. Thank you very much
Guys. lost a lot of weight does not need to be hard (I used to think it did). I’m going to give you some tips now. Look for a popular weight loss secrets called Custokebon Secrets (do a search on google). Thanks to it I’ve lost a ton of weight. I shouldn’t even be speaking about it cause I do not want a lot of other guys out there running the same game but whatever. I am just simply in a great mood today so I’ll share the wealth lol.
I’m overweight and been losing fast on 900-1100 calories a day. Your thumbnail is not correct for everyone. 1200 calories a day slows my weight loss
This makes so much sense and make things so easy for me. Thank you so much!
So, as someone who has a hard time eating too much or can’t help but eat what I’m craving, if I don’t count my calories I have a hard time controlling how much I eat. So what do I do if counting doesn’t work? I’ve lost weight with counting calories before.
Thank god you’re telling me it doesn’t work after I lost 17 kg. Bruh, cool commercial and all, but don’t say stupid shit. Present it as an alternative next time, that takes less discipline, not by shitting on something that also works.
My pleasure to use “Yamzoko Weebly” (Google it) fat loss plan is at all time high. My eating routine and my consistency of few workouts was not altered as well as change. In merely a short time of 30 days, I already lost 6 lbs. The strategy has allow me to consumed lesser and getting full is faster..
Wow this video has been very helpful for me. I just started counting calories and I’m finding it very annoying already. This system breaks it down to be manageable and healthy. Thank you very much!
this is the most important video in the world this should be in school for everybody to learn THANK YOU your videos are so helpful
Man, I’ve been counting calories and have lost 90 pounds so far. I’m glad I watched this video so I could know what I was doing wrong!
Omg you hit it right on the head I’ve been going crazy, everything is a number!
if i need say 2000 calories to maintain my weight, and im on a 500 deficit, after eating the 1500 calories that day do i also need to take into account the activity i did that day like say i burned 600 calories, do i need to get that 600 calories back in food to make sure i am at 1500 no matter what?
I just started counting calories but I see and feel that its not the right way for me,It’s already making me feel so bad and I don’t want my life to revolve around numbers so thank you for this video
Download (calorie munch out) app on apple device is good to keep track of calories on the whole family
I am doing points too. Thr old Weight Watchers points system. Still counting, still complicated when you think about it.
I really needed this video. For a year I have been counting calories and exercising all the time and it has affected me in such a bad way. I got anxiety whenever I was invited to eat out, because I didn’t know the amount of calories in the food and all I had in my head was numbers and macros. My whole life was planned around food, and I cried my self to sleep every night because it was stressing me out so much. I pretty much had no social life, because I would avoid anything where food was in included. I would stick to 900-1200 calories for a week or two and then just eating one wrong thing and telling myself I messed up so I might as well eat everything unhealthy I can find, and then I ended up binging. This was an ongoing cycle for a long time. After watching this video yesterday I realised a lot of things. I deleted my life sum app, and decided to start intuitaive eating. It is my first day and I’ve just had breakfast and it was so hard not counting the calories, but I will push myself because I want to live and healthy lifestyle. Physically and mentally. And yes the couple of pounds I would like to lose may take a little longer now that I am not counting calories, and maybe I will lose them quick I don’t know but that isn’t my first priority now. My happiness is. I have a long road ahead of me but I am not giving up. Thank you so much for this video this was just what I needed to hear. You are such an inspiration ❤️
I honestly love your honesty, some times we might feel alone on the hardship of our journeys. I was born with diabetes so from my toddler years I was worried about my weight and how I was always bigger (taller and fatter) than other girls, I would workout to unhealthy levels and under eat. Now I focus on the quality of my calories, not the quantity. It was a long journey but I do believe that you start getting results as soon as you focus on health and not on the numbers
Was on a roll, lost a stone with your app and looked and felt good, in jan I stopped (no excuse but there are factors that meant I wasn’t motivated to
Continue) and now double gained the weight and feel lost and sad:(
Do u know about glycerol neogenesis? When ur body is adapted to fat deeper and more efficient in utilizing fat? Ur body will easily storing excess fat to body fat… from there you need to count calories
It’s not wrong but only calorie is just not enough for losing weight. The factor is also the carb, protein, fat inside food.
How do I fiqure out how many calories per day I should be eating in order to lose weight?
I am 60 yrs. old
5’4″ tall
Please help me…��
Your recipes though…always look delish! Keep up the great work!
I started doing this three days ago and I already lost 1 kg! I’m gonna keep doing this with some exercise and update
I had lost about 60 lbs back in high school doing a fruitarian style diet. That was even despite the fact I was eating about 600-700 more calories a day. Never had so much energy in my life.
I eat very healthy and still count calories. The point is you should still count calories no matter what you’re eating. (fried is still a no no)
i LOVE ur accent its so cute and delicate.
what kind of accent is it?
You can’t out exercise a bad diet. A few seconds on the lips, lifetime on the hips. It is much easier to eat less than to burn the calories overconsumed.
I’m trying to lose weight but I love to count calories in everything. It’s a habit now. Even 3grams of blueberries is put down into my book.
You are a treasure!!!! Thank you so much for this video! It’s so clear and motivating!
Skiny and normal people dont care about calories,is a meaningless number
So glad I stumbled on this video. I have been using myfitnesspal on and off for the better part of this year and it has often been frustrating always counting calories. I love this idea of points system i.e portion sizes of 100 calories each breaking down into 4 pts per meal. I’ll keep you posted.
Love this video. You look amazing. Where are your leggings from I need them:)
Does Custokebon Secrets really help to lost lots of fat? I’ve learn many good stuff about this popular lose weight methods.
just walking for 1 or 2 hours can make u lose properly couple ponds you dont have to count calories. skinny is not always perfect, blonde is not always pretty, pretty eyes are not always cute, you are you and you dont have to change your beautiful self for any else unless its about health..
Damn I love you! I came to the same conclusion myself after having done my own studies on human anatomy and physiology, and studying how calories actually work. The only thing I would add is that to work out more efficiently it’s good to know how many calories you burn with a particular routine, which you can figure out by looking up how many calories you burn with each particular exercise.
I have always thought that dieting is eating only green vegetables and drinking water. NextLevelDeit proved me wrong. I am eating delicious and nutritionally rich food and still reaching my fitness goals.
Ahh love it Georgie!! please do a current abs and butt workout!! �� xo
Love how you always say it how it is Jillian. Great advice as always
200 ml of almond milk is 26 calories where do you get 1 point????? For 100 calories you need 800 ml of almond milk. Unless you are using sweetened almond milk which I doubt that woolies does and sweetened almond milk is not healthy. Very misguided and not a nutritionist at all…
So how is it unrealistic to reach 1200 cal a day if your doing a calorie deficit?
Listen up stupid young girl with certificates

I’ve lost about 17 pounds of my fat after I made use of this kind of “Yamzoko Weebly” diet plan (Google it).It’s miraculous to get a possible outcome out of this. This diet plan gives good results really quick and I love it. There is a huge distinction in the manner that my very own garments fit and a perfect side-by-side pics of a Six day difference!
You can also mention compensating for the muscle loss from low-calorie diets. (Also, please see my other comment from today about my weight loss progress success.)
It does not make sense! If you increase the number of calories you are burning then it will have an effect?
It actually is as simple as calories in and calories out but remember you gotta work hard in the gym
Cheers Sir.. am still in the process to understand the real and most honest relationship between food & exercise, still learning..but i realized many not aware..love & peace from malaisie..land far away.. howaever i have some questions if dont mind..so does that means 90% is food and 10% only exercise to reduce weight & how about belly story? why is it so difficult to see results to reduce belly fats & sincerely which what could i do the easiest way and yes without being a slave to the process for above 45s or 50s age? (i like this reminder really do..many of us are slaves now to soc med & hi techs stuffs already hehehe..no more rel connections & feel)..hehe.
Man!! The way you are explaining everything ���� wow! Love it.
1:29 “You don’t have to draw this guys.” Me already drawing on my plate with a red sharpie: “Damn it.”
Yeah don’t count calories to make sure you’re in a DEFICIT..no that doesn’t make sense…wow just goes to show that just because you have some degree, does not necessarily mean you’re intelligent…
Thank you! I’m really benefiting from all of your advice and I’m SO grateful!
Would you speak to post menopausal weight gain and metabolism?
I had an early menopause after the removal of my reproductive system at 36. Now at 48, I have developed hypothyroidism as well and really need to struggle to control my weight.
Any insight is welcomed
I feel like I’m going crazy. I always count calories and I’m just so tired of it and I get so sad abt it. I want to go back to the time I didn’t think abt all this.
so happy for you!! I’m the same I really have to work to look better and stack on weight easy. loved this video and I’m really excited to see that recipe for those brownies!! yum xx
Everything that you said just motivated me to a another level:) I just love you jillian, I really love your spirit. Thanks for existing ❤️ You’re a good person ( I know i’m too much loll ) but I hope you read my message.
when having 3 meals per day ( 4 points for each) how many snacks per day? to lose weight.
Love this! Going to try it! Makes so much sense, thank you!
I’m 49 and I’ve never had such a hard time losing weight! I have less energy and everything I eat just sticks to me! I’m 5’4” and 159. Last year I was 125-135 lbs. always been a gym rat! Now I have no energy or motivation, HELP PLEASE.
Subscribed! I hate counting calories with a passion and have lost zero weight with my fitness pal. After watching this I’ve realised it’s probably due to the fact I’m eating low calorie but so much carbs. I only have 5 kg to lose but it’s so hard. This sounds super simple and I can still have my little pasta portion in the corner of my plate
The best part of this video is Lester Holt being forced to beg for likes and subscribes at the end
i done keto, carnivore, vegan and traditional diet. The best i done for Healing for every issue (skin, mental health and digestion) and fatloss is fasting focused Lifestyle.
Would love to hear about functional foods! Loving watching your videos, just found your YouTube this week and finishing it so interesting and helpful ��
Ohhhhh, but I think this might be my most favorite video ever, EVER! You explain things so simply yet cleverly… I loved all your meal and snack ideas! I purchased your bundle and it looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ����������.
how did you stop? right now i’m pretty deep in counting calories to the point where i’ve become obsessed, and feel really guilty when i go over my daily goal:/ i really want to intuitively eat, please let me know the steps i can take to do this! thank u so much for making this omg
What do you think about carb cycling And whether or not it will make it easier to lose fat?
What bugs me about this video is that he didn’t provide any solutions. He just threw a wrench in everybody’s plan and made a whole bunch of people uncomfortable. I say odds are in you are eating at or below your daily calorie intake and regularly exercising you will probably lose weight. Seems to work for most people.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Yessssss…. I am losing weight through a serious lifestyle shift exercising and eating well without counting calories AT ALL! This has always been my philosophy. I am eating more now than I was at my heaviest AND I am losing weight. I am handling stress a lot better, enjoying life, and I’ve never been this happy. Just to illustrate what I mean: I went from obese class 1 to overweight WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES and life is so good.
Definitely subscribed sis! Thank you! I love nutritionist with sound, beautiful, life-changing advice
Where Eran Segal compared a diet of someone who gains weight from consuming 2000 and the other person loses weight while consuming 2500 notice how he didn’t include height, weight, age, gender, or activity level. Segal is full of shit someone who is 5’0″ and weighs 95lbs and lives a sedentary lifestyle will need less calories than someone like LeBron James who is 6’8″ weighs 250lbs and is a professional athlete, people like LeBron will lose weight if they ate only 2500 calories a day. PEOPLE DON’T LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT EREN SEGAL IS FULL OF SHIT.
You do realize that people count calories and are able to predict their exact rate of weight loss or gain based on the amount they eat, right? You really aren’t very bright, are you? Do you realize that you argue that a strong insulin response causes people to drop dead? Or is that beyond the scope of your “science”? You are trying to mystify a topic that is already solved.
Don’t you mean if you take in less calories than your body needs in a day. your body will start burning or using stored fat that was on your body for energy. Well, After your body finished using up the calories from the food you ate, over an amount of time.
What do you do with packaged food if it’s like 130 calories or 270?
Or you could just do keto and lose weight and never count calories and be in the best shape of your life effortlessly
This worries me. I lost 30lbs eating exactly what i already have been just by eating less. I didn’t drastically change my diet because it doesn’t make sense. You cant eat like that forever. Plus i wouldn’t want to (I’m 5’11, 180lbs)
Altetnate day fasting works great for me. No calorie cou ting necessary. No exercise necessary either.
It seems like you would be starving if you only ate 1400 calories and burned 2100 calories. I would eat 1500-1600 calories and workout for 20 minutes 3 or 4 times a week. I eat mainly vegan so high fiber foods that keep me full.
You should educate yourself better on Keto…please consult doctors who are more educated on the subject.
What if it’s calories in and out plus hormones?? Why can’t you eat the same amount of calories in an 8 hour window as you would a whole day? I have found that when I intermittent fast I lose weight better.
Counting calories isn’t sustainable long term. Cavemen didn’t count calories.
I honestly feel like this kind of thing makes it harder for people to get to grips with their nutrition. If you expend more than you consume, while maintaining the same levels of activity, you will lose weight. You can’t just magically gain energy from nowhere, regardless of your insulin levels. Can better controlling your insulin levels though your diet aid the wight loss process? Absolutely. But that is secondary to reducing your consumption. Bottom line is that you cannot get something from nothing. There are people in this comments section thinking they’re literal perpetual motion machines.
This is the best explanation on the internet. I love Jillian
Been counting calories 2 months now, with very little exercise after knee replacement surgery. Losing about a pound a week. ��
Stop wasting your time on calculating every single calorie. Visit NextLevelDiet and check your calorie intake for FREE. You can choose any kinds of fruits, nuts, vegetables and meats and get personalized meal plan which contains only food you like.
Love this video and so many more. Ill be starting this from tomorrow on wards:)
Fasting LITERALLY puts you at a caloric deficit, but ALSO keeps your insulin levels low which allows you to burn fat easier and faster. Counting calories work, but it’s like a steam engine and fasting is like a gasoline engine.
New to your channel but really enjoying it! What hummus are you buying where a 1/4 cup is only 100 calories??
I was very skinny and after changing my diet I finally started seeing results. I didn’t know anything about training and diet, but my friend told me for the website called NextLevelDiet and I just followed their diet and training plan. They have amazing tips 😉 check it out
It all comes back. Keto is the only way to go. I am satisfied and not hungry. Add intermittent fasting and even more weight comes off. I don’t count calories. Got off my meds and diseases are disappearing. All my friends on weight watchers have had their weight come back. How many people on biggest losers have kept their weight off?
1:12 Am I the only one that noticed the police/ambulance siren? XDDD
I needed this! I started my journey about 2 and a half weeks ago. I started tracking my calories and felt bad everytime I think I will go over so I ended up eating a lot less than I normally would. My body was shocked and I feel like I am losing energy to workout and I am always starving. I have 55lbs left to lose as I am still overweight. Please wish me luck!!!��❤️
I’ve been on keto diet for 2 months lost 40 pounds. I have 17% body fat and now looking to gain muscle this is a perfect way for me to add healthy carbs to my diet, thank you, I was looking for something like this.
While on a caloric deficit, it doesn’t matter what time u eat right?
Thanks Jeff for your common sense and easy solutions to dietary problems.
This woman is hilarious and so knowledgeable. Can we hang out? Lol
Why are you promoting starvation!!! This is so unbelievably harmful!!!
Can I use this method for both cutting and bulking? I appreciate anyone answering, Thanks in advance.
This lady knows nothing about nutrition, nor human metabolism! Talking trash.. Dirty science! Humans are not car engines! Basic knowledge! Get some education ; please! Do your fitness stuff and nothing else..
It’s the only way that works. 10 years ago I lost 160 pounds by counting calories and exercising. I’ve kept it off to this day. I didn’t gain it overnight and didn’t expect to lose it overnight. It took a year and a half of steady work.
This guy doesn’t know anything….the primary requirement for weight loss/fat loss is caloric deficit…
Im bored of calculating calories intake and BMI. Next Level Diet website does it for FREE. They also provide personalized training plan and diet plan with amazing recipes.
Did two takes of this video and somehow my fat recommendations didn’t make this cut. As always recommended, healthy fats are essential to a balanced nutrition plan. One of the biggest mistakes I made earlier in my youth (as I stated in a video on the topic) was following a no-fat diet. Now, I am sure to include them in every meal. In the example provided, you want to either cook with them (pasta in a cracked red pepper and olive oil red sauce) or add them directly (sweet potato mash with added butter). If fibrous carbs were spinach for instance, I would never eat them raw. I’d instead sautée with garlic and oil and mushrooms for more flavor. Remember, if it’s not tasty you won’t eat it long term. This defeats the purpose of establishing a game plan for PERMANENT healthy eating! I’ll publish the unseen footage on my instagram @athleanx for those interested in watching!
This is so damn helpful. Now i don’t have to tell my friends/family that i won’t be eating that (rice, potatoes) because i am a workout diet.
I feel that after my 30th i’m in my 32nd year it is so much harder to have gains as it used to be and i know that with aging it gets harder and you got to be dedicated day and night if you wanna look like a beast and focus your eating on protein as much as you can afford but eat like a beast but train all day. That is ofcourse if you wanna do it natural way.
Don’t listen to this fool… listen to science and stay away from carbs.
Will I loose weight if I eat a unhealthy meal such as tacos read beans and rice as my only meal a day and go to a 2hour football workout 4x a week
um im sorry but calories are still extremely important to track, especially for some people who have a very hard time losing weight REGARDLESS of if you’re eating healthy food OR junk food. for example: if you’re eating 3000 calories worth of very healthy food (veggies, fruits, meats, fish, and you’re getting all your healthy nutrients… ) but your body only BURNS 2000 calories per day YOU WILL STILL GAIN WEIGHT because that is a surplus of an extra 1000 calories per day that your body was not able to burn. so no… you should not just completely ignore how many calories you’re consuming JUST because you’re eating healthy food. obviously the calories from a brownie vs a vegetable are completely different, but people aren’t just eating vegetables all day fkn long unless you’re a vegetarian. they’re eating lots of other healthy things as well.
Hey Georgie, I’m just really curious what you recommend for people to lose weight if you do not agree with counting calories? every Pt I have been to has told me to and it has worked as really losing weight is burning more calories than calorie consumption in saying that every time I have done it I still choose the better option of foods e.g the sweet potato over normal potato which is what your saying to focus on the food but if we eat more than what we burn there will be no weight loss ��
I don’t want you to think this is negative at all I think your amazing and have chatted on Ig before and cooked some of your recipes:) I wanted to see your opinion x
You’re the reason I have started this journey for more then 1 year ago and only recently have I realised I was not subscribed…
Shame on me!
All the respect for you and people like you who provide the internet with valuable information for free!
Basically his message is all calories are not the same. Yes there are empty calories like sugar etc which serve no purpose other than make you fat and wrinkled and then there’s healthy calories which everyone should have. And his study he mentioned failed to inform everyone here that yes the person reduced their energy levels by 30% but if you hang in there you start feeling energized after the initial tiredness when you start counting calories ��
Yes! thanks Jillian, to shine a light to a very confusing topic ����❤️
Increased carbo consumption, combined with daily weight training and running, went down from 75 to a 70 in 2 weeks. No snacking, and no sweet drinks, however.
Dope! Thanks. I agree �� This is the video is was wanting. Was going to start counting calories. I still will have to as I crush my snack eating (all day long) habit. Any videos on how to wean yourself from snack eating? Is being a “grazer” ok?
Ooh girl thankss for everything. You helped mee alot muakkks kisses from spain������������
THANK YOU!!!!!!
This is SO timely! My sister was just telling me not to count calories LAST NIGHT!; I’d been watching a lot of my fitness gurus and that’s all they’ve been preaching for months, so I was super conflicted.
I lost 60lbs a few years ago (and gained it all back slowly over the next 2), but I never counted a single calorie. My issue was that I didn’t have a well rounded training plan, which I do now based on my personal goals:)
Again, thank you sooo much!!
Fix audio for the next video please. It’s not centered. My left ear felt lonely. (and no I don’t have hearing problems)
Where are the studies that support your concepts? Of course, you’re holding right information about metabolism, as the gut flora, insulin but those concepts are’nt enough to support the idea that we actually gain or lose weight becouse bacterial flora; or becouse different normal levels of insuline (unless you someone have diabetes), they can perfectly being not stadistically significative to explain the relation between weight gain and those features, instead calories intake still have more supportive background explaining weight gaining becouse at the end they explains the final storage of energy mainly as fat, no matter how they were metabolised.
this is a lot harder than putting my food in my app and count my macros
I immediately watched this after eating a piece of potato chip.
Guys remember the 20min rule: if u eat slowly, whether u ate less or more u will full by 20 mins…..its true go check it out..
It isn’t. Period. I ate 8000-12000kcal a day and lost bodyfat…. 27 pounds in 17 days…
I’ve been working out for almost a month now and although I feel stronger and lighter, I’m not seeing any physical changes. Will try to do this starting today. Thanks Jeff ��
oh my god, that literally explained my years long struggle. thank you so much!!!
A good prank on Jeff would be to switch out his white board markers with permanent ink markers
This is just about the most wrong bs video I have viewed in my opinion of course,and I respectfully comment thusly
also sometimes i forced myself not to eat so much i think i feel like shaky and tiring why is that so?
I`ve been sticking with this amazing “Kοnοnοz yyd” (Search on Google) for around Five weeks, and also have burned around 10 pounds, and three inches from my very own waist. This truly can make me considerably more enthusiastic each day soon after I have dropped a few of my excess fat..
I watch and utilize Jeff’s videos so much that I feel like I should buy his program because I owe him.
Did a low carb diet when I was boxing to get down to 165 lbs (I’m 6’1″). Technically, the diet was successful but the more weight I dropped the less energy I had when sparring, so I started getting beat up pretty good. I guess what I’m saying is…CARBS GOOD.
Two questions: How much fats a day? I’m 4’11 how big should my plate be? lol
CICO absolutely works! I’m 58 and post menopausal and using CICO and MyFitnessPal, and an hour of gentle cardio each day I’ve painlessly taken off 10 pounds in a month. The long term benefit of using CICO is retraining yourself what and how much to eat. Just had knee replacement so I’m still eating my 4 300 calorie meals and a snack, and don’t expect to lose anything while I recover, but as soon as I can do weights and cardio again I’m all in! I feel like Dorothy when the good witch told her she had the ability to go home all along!13 pounds down…27 more to go!
Tell me, which fat retarded bastards are giving this video a thumbs down? Is it because their thumbs are so fat that they cannot hit the LIKE button and accidentally hit DISLIKE?
Starve yourselves for a month and ask for forgiveness, for you have sinned, you greedy swines.
Regards
Where is the black top you’re wearing at 7:00 from? Keep up the good work��
You have no idea how much I needed this right now so thank you! I have been counting calories for over a year now and can’t stop because I’m so scared of gaining weight as I have a huge appetite for such a small person. I am trying my hardest to stop as it’s affecting my life and stopping me from going out to eat more than once a week (a stupid rule I created in my mind). So thank you for sharing this, you help me so much xx
This is amazing really, never seen it before, so much more likely to be done on the long run than counting calories, which I didn’t even do for a whole week, but kept eating healthy. Thank you very much Jeff!
And this is why you being a doctor means absolutely dogshit, you can’t be breaking the laws of thermodynamics, that is not how the human body works nor how energy conservation works, diets aren’t the key, sustainable (relatively healthy) lifestyle/diet, diet adherence and consistency, counting calories, protein intake, cardio, resistance training, these are the basic habits of maintaining a healthy sustainable lifestyle, according to your goals. You can not hack fat loss or metabolism.
I put fat in the largest part and carbs on the smallest part and lost a town of weight much much faster
Where is your pink bra in the thumbnail from?? Looks like the gymshark one but different in the front
Excellent video and so detailed! I don’t do much intense workouts due to physical limitations, mainly walking and I also have some blood sugar issues. Would this be a suitable diet plan for me? I’m trying to do low carb but it’s been challenging and I feel low energy.
I bet jeff was on his lowest body fat percentage this video from his face look
I feel like Jeff would make a great teacher I’ve watch a few vids and he teaches you a lot in one vid and if you keep to what he teaches you, you should see progress
replace the startchy toxic food with high quality fat….thats your weight loss plate.also fast for at least 16 hours or more for extra benefits….search it
honestly, you should get an award for this MASTERPIECE!! i keep coming back to this video us your ebook.. girl YOU ARE AMAZING! thank so much!
As soon as I go to university or start living on my own I’m gonna rewatch this video
does this concept apply to every meal? breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
However, 600 calories worth of sugar has a detrimental effect on insulin (which is a fat-hoarding hormone) compared to 600 calories worth of protein or leafy greens.
How many times you need to eat like this per day if you are working out
Jeff the type of guy to open the door with both his hands to not cause muscle imbalance
Counting calories work for people who are self disciplined and consistent. It only doesn’t work for people who see diet as a diet and not a lifestyle change.
i like to measure once, then take a pic n save it somewhere n name it, so i dont have to measure it all the time
lose more calories than you take and you lose wight, nothing what others say is true beside this statement.
I lost 20 pounds in 2 months from counting calories, just FYI.
Regardless of what you eat, weight gain is caused by a CALORIC SURPLUS and weight loss is achieved by a CALORIC DEFICIT. There is no debate with this, it’s a fact. You cannot break the 1st law of thermodynamics by fasting or doing an elimination diet.
I totally agree! I lost 25 pounds in 4 months, just calorie counting and some exercisebasically creating a deficit. Great video.
I lost a small amount of weight while counting calories for abt 2 weeks so…
Nice video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (Sure I saw it 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 extraordinary things about it and my cousin at last got excellent results with it.
From what I learn you can lose weight reducing calories, but not that much from what I’ve seen ��
That video is wrong in so many ways. A minute and 42 seconds in and can’t take this anymore. I’m out
Losing weight is very personal. You can’t dictate from a single source
This video is the reason why people thinking losing weight is so hard. Just eat less!!!
How many of you are eating cookies right now like I’m doing.
Counting calories works but youha etounderstand that healthier foods such as fruits and veggies litterally cut your calorie intake in half if not more. Plus you will feel better, have more energy for exercize and look better overall. All you people are just weak minded and lack self discipline.
Video title has NOTHING to do with actual subject of video…
this is pretty misleading and confusing for many people actually trying to lose weight…..
yes exercise and overall quality of your food is absolutely important..
but if you are trying to lose weight, and stay in a caloric deficit overtime you WILL lose weight.
if you were sedentary before you lowered your calories, and stayed sedentary while cutting calories (say you were eating 3000 per day and then went to 2000/day) you would lose weight overtime, but eventually if nothing else changes your weight loss will slow, without adding in more physical activity for example.
bottom line, check out a weight loss calorie counter online to help determine your goals. increasing activity levels, meet your caloric goals for weight loss daily, learning healthy whole food options to meet those caloric goals…
https://www.precisionnutrition.com/weight-loss-calculator
(and on a side note, people can lose weight eating junk food, if they are technically in a caloric deficit..is it healthy in the long run compared to eating healthy foods? no way……but is the weight loss real? yes)
So I should not eat for myself but for that damned bacteria.
Guys, need some tips on losing weight without exercise. I am currently over a hundred kilos, I have been gaining weight recently and I am ready to lose some now.
I’m on day 5 ��❤️ I’ve already bought your ebook thank you. I also feel cal counting is a mind f**k,. So this is load easier. I’m on day 5 of following this and thus is the longest I’ve stuck fully to a healthy eating regime.
Gut bacteria also changes when introducing new foods into the diet. Try eating a whole food plant based diet and you’re guaranteed to see results
Holy fucking shit, you’re so fucking wrong it’s hilarious! How do people subscribe to this bullshit?!
Hes talking bollox listen up people…
I was 20 stone in January I was taken in 3000 calories a day then I went to 2500 then 2000 now its 24 of may and I way just under 16 stone.I PROMISE YOU ITS CALORIES IN VS CALORIES OUT. I promise
LOL counting calories in general is the best way to lose weight, because people don’t realise how much they eat. With me, that’s the MAIN thing. Like, I eat a lot. A lot a lot. So, I can eat only healthy foods all week, and I’ll still gain, because I’m simply eating too much. So I have to count calories. And it still works. I mean, sure, it also matter what kind of calories you eat; 500 calories worth of yogurt and veggies or something isn’t the same as 500 calories of McDonalds.. but you”ve gotta do both: eat healthy AND count calories (if you want to lose weight that is).
Creating your own personalised point system is brilliant. I used a point tracker app for a bit that in theory worked great but in practice did not because it seemed to be making judgments on the foods I was choose on top of promoting unhealthy choices (eg. rewarding you for choosing low-fat dairy or salad dressings). I’ve switched to calorie counting and that is absolutely not helping because I’ll choose the corn crackers with hummus over the apple for the same calories all the time. I have about 99% of my portion sizes down and have figured out the rough number of calories I need per meal and how they should be broken down by macro. Just haven’t cracked the simple way to track all of that and to easy make tweaks to my standard meals. I think I’m going to spend some time this week working out my own point system. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Ridiculous. I’m losing weight by counting calories. We need guidelines when trying to drop pounds and calorie-counting helps you know when to stop eating. The trick is not to go too low in calories. I consume between 1200 and 1700 calories a day, eating what I want but concentrating on incorporating healthy foods. I do have a treat every day. In order to lose weight you must lower your calories. I like counting calories, actually.
I needed to hear this— again. I lost a bunch of weight several years ago by eating 1200 calories and working out with strength training and running every day. I’m 5’2″. 1200 is not adequate if I were in a coma, let alone for as active as I was. After I stopped losing weight, and slowly started to GAIN it on 1200 calories when I lost all the energy to keep up that level of activity, I stopped counting calories. And I craved sugary foods like crazy! I was insatiable! I tried again to count calories several months ago and everything about it felt wrong. I’m vegan, mostly whole foods, and I started to prioritize sleep. Instead of the crazy workouts, I’m walking every day, with 3-4 workouts during the week. Already I’m feeling better and have more energy, and I’m not crashing after workouts. It’s so hard to break the calorie counting mentality, since everyone screams in your face “CALORIES IN CALORIES OUT!” whenever you try to lose weight, and treat you like you’re just making excuses when you say you’re not going to count calories.
This video is such click bait. I lost 23 pounds in 4 months since I started counting calories. I eat healthier, but calorie counting also allows me to splurge on my favorite foods every once in a while. I think you are setting yourself up for failure when you take on a diet that completely cuts out the things you crave.
A lot of the comments are criticising this method and saying how they “don’t see the point” since it’s the same as counting calories. It’s similar to counting calories but it’s NOT the same. You’re dividing each food into 100 cal portions and, yes, you do need to know its (the food’s) calories for this method to work out. However, some foods have very specific number of cal, for example 493 cal. If you round it to 100, basically 493 ‘becomes’ 500 cal. By doing this method you won’t stress yourself out by remembering the total number of calories (for example 493 + 712 + 265). To be counting so specifically is bad for your mind and body. The more you do this method, the easier it gets but I guess it’s different for everyone
The problem it is very hard to constantly count calories and weigh and measure your food. Very few people can do this for their entire lives. If you eat foods that are not calorie dense, 500 calorie per pound or less, you can eat until comfortably full, without over eating calories. This means fill your plate with unprocessed green and yellow vegetables, starchy vegetables (potatoes, quinoa, rice), and fruit. The unprocessed fibre and water in these foods are what make you feel full without having to count calories, and you won’t exceed your calorie requirement for the day.
Now this was getting straight to the point and very good video��
Eat a whole food, plant based diet and you will never have to count a calorie again. Along with reaping the imminent health benefits.
Thanks love your videos i been watching since yesterday so i am new here. I so agree with loving the food u eat or it does not work. I tryed but i do have a question. Where do you leave fruit? I love fruit i wonder if thats what i am doing wrong as they r high in sugar???
Fat ppl that trying to lose weight always counting calories.. Most of the time it’s not even accurate and they need to just do exercises. If that don’t don’t work then oh well your fat.. Blame the DNA your parents gave you
I divide up my meals to equal a total of 2000 calories
I usually make a snack equal 250 calories
a meal equal 500 calories.
Three meals, and two snacks
Or I change it up depending on the day. But I always drink plenty of water, and I do cardio to get the breath moving.
Fat is shed from your body through exhalation of CO2 and through water in urine.
My goal is to loose weight. Once I get to 200 lbs I will reasses, and probably adopt The athlean diet.
My goal is to run a marathon with my budy in California before the age of 40.
I am 275 lbs, 6’3”. I ran alot when I was younger. So I know that once I get down to 200lbs things will get interesting with the running distances.
can’t wait!
OMG why does every you tuber do this mad editing where they speed talk and don’t take a breath, I really want to listen and take in what they’re saying but it drives me crazy ��just chat normally ��♀️

i lost 41 pounds by counting my calories intake and i never actually start losing weight even i was eating clean until i start counting calories so nah thank you! i’m good!! there is something about counting calories i don’t know what that is but i’m sure it works!!
Stay in your lane tech insider, stop spreading bs info with click bait video titles. You can gain weight with 2000 cals but lose with 2500? Unless you’ve upped your calorie burn by >500 calories that’s complete bullshit. DiFfErEnT gUt BaCtEriA
will be trying this out with the pescatarian keto approach-wish me luck yall
Hmm I lost 104 pounds went from 220 to 116 as a 5’5 female and kept it off for 5 years counting calories, but I guess this quack thinks I should just stop?
I learn so much from you every video i watch i feel guilty not getting your program…i will one day when i start working
Good & bad thing bout Tech Insider is that they give different view points on this topic BUT counting calories is not always about being “100%” accurate but rather estimate on your macros more then actual calories(which marcos add up to calories). Scientific literature strongly shows that amount of calories ate do matter & you can try to estimate to help reach goals. Athlete’s do this & keep trying to lose weight/even gain count/try to track calories.
This needed to be said! Billions of diets on the internet, they never take into account the individuality of a person, their metabolism and everything he stated. I’m not falling for ANY of these diets anymore, what works for one person doesn’t mean it works for the next. It is total chaos and confusion. Way too much information out there!
Just think about it. 200 years ago people had no idea wtf a calorie was.
She is so knowledgeable and breaks it down into science I love how she explains everything in detail
bullshit video. counting calories works guys and always will
Ok I get it, basically round all calories in food to 100 kcal of everything your eat. that away you you’ll know you can get 4 points or 400 kcal per meal. 100 calories in apples 100 calories in chicken 100 calories worth for each of the items your eating keeping in mind measurements weather you’re using cup sizes or weighting the food.
I myself started out my journey counting calories which for me became obsessive, and stressful. What works for me now is fasting for atleast 14 hours, and having two meals eating Whole Foods keto style diet. I’ve regained my hunger cues, and feel free.
If you can think of an easier solution let me know, cause calorie counting with an app is about as easy as it gets.
I lost about 30 pounds by cutting back calories in a span of around 6 months. I really hate counting calories though, and I just want to stop because I feel like I’m missing out on life. But I’m scared I’ll gain it all back once I stop counting! HELP!
I don’t have the time to explain why but, just eat healthy calories & track Macros. You’ll be fine ����
Your wrong brah. I lost weight by eating whatever I wanted as long as I counted calories and avoided soda and corn syrup.
I’ve started a diet since Monday coz it’s my 16th birthday on March 1 (2 days) and I’ve only been eating about 500-600 calories a day..I eat:
Morningbanana and a teaspoon of peanut butter
Lunch: nothing but after school I have a spinach and water smoothie
Dinner: Salad and meat (mostly tuna) or lentils (this salad bowl is just less than 200 cal
I just wanna be slim����
This is so humbling and true. Really hits home for me and I love this video! xxx
These types of videos will further confuse the vulnerable and uneducated! Bottom line: calories in calories out determines how much weight you will lose/gain. With that being said u can be smart and eat filling food with low calories such as eggs for example
I just found your channel and im already completely in love with you ��❤️
I eat 1400 calories a day with an hour of exercise. I’m a small person
Soooo…. what do I do instead? Go out to the store and buy some good gut bacteria??
Thank youI’m sending this to someone special in my life who thinks keeping her calories under a number allows her to eat super unhealthy processed foods which are “dietetic” so ok to eat!
Thanks for turning it into something I can understand Jillian!! Lol great video ��
If you wanna make millions of people lose weight you don’t give them a gigantic instruction manual to read, who would flip through it and actually put all the instructions to good use?
Do gorillas or chimpanzees have different gut bacterias? Maybe. By how much? Not much I think. So this idea that different people have wastly different gut bacterias is somewhat questionable.
There are some indie films out there proving that you can lose weight even with a McDonalds diet, not that it’s healthy but if you eat less than you burn you will lose weight so I smell BS here.
I guess he needs to sell his book which recently came out.
Day after day there is a new diet/training program comes out because people are easily fooled looking for some magic formula nobody can sell the proven basics because it’s already out there and it’s free.
You didn’t offer any alternative or solution. All you are saying is that we don’t know, we don’t understand and we are trying. Misleading video title that is asking people not do something while not offering anything better. I can’t tell a cancer patient to stop taking the best available treatment because we are doing research on a better drug that might work and we are trying to understand. Hopefully doth butter no parsnips!
Intermittent fasting, no refined sugar and flour products, as much fat as you want, weight training, walking and running is the answer. Never count calories.
Like others that lost weight counting calories, I too lost weight by simply eating an 1,800 calories daily diet in fact I lost 100 lbs (of fat) over the course of one year.
To answer others about keeping it off, yes I maintained my new weight in part due to the slowness of the fat loss. I say fat loss because I was discriminately losing fat and not general weight. A twilight zone episode feature a person who wanted to lose weight so badly they wished for it the best morning they woke up to find their arms were missing! But I digress.
In this video, Segal says there is some truth to counting calories I agree. I believe what he is doing here is somewhat splitting hairs because he is saying you cannot rely on it, not don’t do it at all. And to some degree that is true. If you eat 1,800 calories of M&M’s you won’t be too healthy for too long, but if you eat 2,500 calories of lean meats, assorted vegetables, and complex carbohydrates, your body will operate at a higher level of performance than being in a caloric deficit.
It was just not clearly explained in this video.
You’re welcome.
You should start counting calories! But be smart about it. Calculate an average of what you usually eat over like a week in calories. Subtract 300 or 400 calories and eat healthy.
ALL the research shows that plant base diets promote the healthiest gut bacteria.
Instructions unclear: Bought a 2 foot plate,got morbidly obese….
Ok honestly bullshit i lost a lot of weight counting my calories
I lost 60lbs by counting calories I ate whatever I want I just made sure to stay below 1800 calories. I logged everything in the Fitbit app I would make sure it read that I burned at least 3500 calories also I excersised at least 5 times a week sometimes 7 times a week.
I think people should learn how to count calories and macros before doing this method. You can jam a lot of garbage into those same portions.
I’ve lost 25 lbs on Weight Watchers Freestyle Program. WW does not count calories from every type of food. You can have as much lean protein, fruits and veggies as you want.
help. ive been only eating 800-600 calories latley. and i dont know how to get back to 1000 calories without gaining much, but if i eat clean like fruits vegetables etc maybe it wont happen?
Lol 12 days to lose one pound on the scale, i can drink less liquids and im a pound less the next day. Or by mid day lol…
On the scale.
This is exactly what I talk about in this video:
https://youtu.be/kbSTgAPmYIE
what about the potato guy? he lost a lot of weight just eating potatoes.
What if your still undereating without calorie counting, or vice versa like say Someone is eating too many calories but they’re eating “non processed” Whole Foods (or a generally healthy diet) does your body end up gaining weight then? Also if I stop counting calories I’ll feel bad and eat less anyway so I don’t know how that would play out.
What if I want to switch the portion between protein and fibrous Jeff? Is that recommended?
I’ve been counting calories for 2 weeks now. I’ve lost 15 pounds with little to no workouts.
I used to count my calories(800a day) and lots 40lbs. Quickly. Keeping it off was a strain, my body didn’t know how to process food. I strained so much to not gain weight, which did creep back up a bit. Now that I’m more mentally healthy in regards to food, I’m just trying to wake up my metabolism again and have a balance. Hopeful your methods will help.
You are wrong. Science has already proved this. Fuck you for spreading misinformation!
I have been following you for a few months and I cannot thank you enough for your knowledge and for explaining everything so thoroughly! I really enjoy your videos.
To all yeah counting calories can help you to lose weight but a reminder to all you cant count calories forever and it stresses you out. So if you reach your goal try to stop count calories and eat in moderation so it will leads you to a happier life no worries at all. Enjoy food but in moderation
Idk if counting calories work or not. But when I started to count calories, I realised what I ate and started to eat healthier, so that way, it did certainly work
also appreciate if you could simply advise the best meal plan as for normal human being to have all around lean from Am till PM..any tips or simple menus and easy to get stuff not a unique out of this world ingredients..heartfelt thanks if can get some kind reply sir..GOD BLESS YOU & FAMILY..
This really should be titled “Counting Calories does not automatically make you lose weight”
I love how all of us here have had very positive results with a caloric deficit �� Good job everybody ��
Somewhere along the way, some whacked-out dieting guru or doctor wrote a book explaining how insulin was a storage hormone, and since it was a storage hormone it was responsible for the obesity epidemic:
“When you eat carbohydrates, your body secretes insulin. Insulin then stores those carbs as fat in the body. So if you cut out any and all forms of carbohydrates, then you won’t be releasing insulin and you’ll stop storing body fat. Once you stop eating carbs, your body will start using that fat for fuel. This will transform you from a great big ol’ fattie into a sexy fat burning machine.”
Usually there’s also something in there about how eating fat makes you burn fat too.
Here’s the issue. It’s a gross oversimplification, and it’s cherry picking the whole physiological process.
The best metaphor about insulin is that it’s a traffic cop. It tells the nutrients you’ve eaten where to go. When you eat a meal it gets broken down into the basic nutrient components. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids, and carbs are broken down into glucose.
The pancreas then secretes insulin so that these nutrients are transported into cells for storage or use. This happens every time you eat something. While insulin is directing nutrients into the cells, the fat burning mechanism gets turned off. Once insulin is done doing its job, though, fat burning can resume (assuming you’re in a caloric deficit and are using stored fat or glucose for energy).
That’s it. Yeah, yeah, there are issues about insulin sensitivity and all that, but generally speaking, eat fewer calories than you burn each day and repeat that for long enough and you’ll get leaner. But eat more calories than you burn each day, and your body will store more and more fat for “later use.”
Unless you don’t use it later. Or ever. Which is why you’re fat and you can’t blame insulin for making you that way. Nope. It’s the excess calories. Tough love is tough, but you can’t beat facts.
If you manipulate your hormones by food that you eat doesn`t mean you will not get fat if you are in a caloric surplas.
For the majority is easier to lose weight just by eating low calorie dense food 3 to 4 times a day because of the feeling of fullnes.
Ketogenic diet pushed me into a Multiple Sclerosis flare that lasted a year. Never ever again!! Weight loss was not worth it!!
I see what he is saying but there are multiple ways to keep from your body slowing down. 1.Yes, eat healthier foods! Dont just drastically cut the calories.
2. Have a very small snack every few hours to keep from going into starvation mode (I do a cube of cheese, small slice of meat or a veggie. 3. Drink lots of water to keep your stomach full. 4. Zig zag your calorie count. Don’t just keep your diet at (using my appropriate amount of calories) 1,400. Do about 1,900 for two days and 1,400 for 2. That way your body doesn’t adjust to 1,400 and you plateau.
Right. That is why the prisoners in the concentration camps in WWII gained so much weight, because they often had only bread to eat. What is wrong with this woman?
My problem is trying to make sure I get enough calories. My perfect diet would be eating once every 4 days, but that doesn’t work and sounds insane to though who are hungry every few hours. I don’t eat sugar or many carbs (most carbs just from vegetables). I have no appetite. Never have, but since my husband died, really have no appetite at all.
I read lots of superb opinions on the net about how Custokebon Secrets (just search it on google) can assist you lost crazy amounts of weight. Has any one tried this popular weight loss system?
ive tried literally every eating style the most restrictive and healthy diets imaginable and if i dont consciously reduce my calories i still gain weight, youre wrong.
That being said, i was only able to truly sustain calorie counting when i did it with a no oil higher carb moderate fat and protein mostly plant based diet because otherwise my body started to feel bad probably from glucose and other vitamin deficiency when i would calorie count on other eating styles.
What the fuck. Do not compare the findings from the biggest loser to just counting calories. I watched as in the whole video you strawmaned your way throughout the entire video. You should know that NOT ALL CALORIES DEFICITS ARE CREATED EQUAL. Stupidity at it’s finest!
your fuckn stupid for putting this shit out, ohh shit maybe you cant count so you want people to be as stupid as you!! haha
This is so interesting! I never would of thought that you could tailor specific foods to people based on their gut bacteria!����
If you clean ur diet up and just eat intuitively mixed with intermittent fasting you’ll drop body fat
You need three hours to get to the point… I just clicked away thanks -_-
https://youtu.be/5-1TwkzsAls. Check out Dr. Cywes he agrees 100%
Ur a horrible nutritionist, I pray nobody hires you for anything.
How do you even know how many calories are in stuff I just guess…
Thanks so much Jillian for this valuable advice! I was counting calories but not burning enough and was starting to get frustrated, now I am starting to walk 10,000 steps per day and hope that helps me a bit! Not giving up, will up the exercise and continue to count my calories.
How is counting calories not sustainable long term? It will lead to weight loss due to the fact you can actually put a number to what you are eating. If it is not allowing weight loss you decrease the numbers. CICO is actually proven facts and is THE way to lose weight! All weight loss theory come form this. It is the LAW of thermodynamics…. SO MUCH MISS INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO!!!
Well unless you have a scientist living with you that can determine what kind of food your gut bacteria likes, then I suggest counting your calories, once you get the hang of it and memorize the average calorie count of most foods its actually pretty easy and fail safe for weight loss. These doctors and groups that make money off endorsing diet products are full of shit. The last thing the diet industry wants us to know, is that the tried and true simple method for weight loss is calorie intake… Couldnt make much money teaching people how to add…
I have suffered from chronic fatigue, a messed up metabolism, and adrenal issues most of my adult life. I definitely attribute this to years/decades of calorie counting, a restrictive diet and over exercising. It was the battle of the bulge. Being brainwashed into thinking calories in calories out = ideal weight. My metabolism is jacked, I sleep all the time. Seriously, 10 to 12 hours a day. I have seen so many doctors and they try to help by putting band-aids on these problems. And, even though I try, really try, I rarely have the energy to exercise properly. Since, I have changed my way of thinking, and started a clean ketogenic diet, my body has just started to heal itself. Healthy fats + proteins + micro nutrients = a happy, healthy life! NAIL ON THE HEAD GIRL! ������������ keep doing what you do!
thanks, this video is really helpful:) we also have the same surname I think!
can you make a video on how to recover from counting calories? I’m 15 and I went on a calorie diet, lost weight and freaked out bc I realized my metabolism slowed. I’m now at the same weight eating 1800 calories a day (I don’t work out) but it feels restricting and I want to get off of it without gaining weight
Such a misleading title counting calories doesn’t slow your metabolism or halt weight loss. This is simply your body’s adaption from reduced energy intake, otherwise… if you kept losing the same amount of weight every month you would be dead in a matter of time. You would wither away into nothing. Also the insulin hypothesis is incorrect. If I were to give you 200 calories of sugar every day and that’s all you would eat, you would lose weight, what happens to your insulin is irrelevant. As an extreme example, look at POWs, these guys are fed very little bread or potatoes and are forced to work extreme hours. Your insulin hypothesis would suggest they shouldn’t lose any weight, cause you know, it’s a storage hormone…. ultimately if you burn more than what ever you consume, you will lose weight
I’m so sick of my lifestyle I count calories in literally everything I’m always stressed I really hope that I can change, a year ago I was eating 400 calories a day or even less and I lost 10 kg and I’ve gained all the weight back and more now I’m getting obsessed with counting calories again and I know that the same thing is going happen again it’s just a never ending cycle
I’m not gonna name YouTubers but I can think of at least 3 who have had to scroll thru and reference hundreds of studies to arrive at the same approach Jeff has been using for 30+ years.
So true girl!! Some people get so caught up in the calories and don’t think about simple nutrition!:) You are killing it girl so happy!
Hi Autumn! So glad I have discovered your channel! I have lost about 55 pounds this year but I KNOW I have eaten to little and my metabolism is probably messed up….how can I try to reverse that without gaining weight? I am slowly but surely eating more clean food but Im petrified of gaining!! Must mention that I’m 56 years old so my hormones counts against me!
Of course counting calories works. I’ve lost weight and kept it off while counting calories. It’s been years now.
Stop wasting your time on calculating every single calorie. Visit NextLevelDiet and check your calorie intake for FREE. You can choose any kinds of fruits, nuts, vegetables and meats and get personalized meal plan which contains only food you like.
There is nothing known as metabolic damage.I have consumed 1500 calories a day for a month to loose that last 5 lbs.The simple fact is if you want to lose body fat you are bound to go hungry and also calories in calories out matter you cannot break the laws of thermodynamics
Ridiculous. I’ve counted calories for literally years. People act like fasting isn’t a form of calorie restriction. At the end of the day, three laws of thermodynamics cannot be broken. Energy in vs energy out. Period.
Sensible. Also, been there. Done that. She’s spot on. I only got to my ideal weight when I stopped counting.
Hi Autumn. I was wondering how one would go about recovering from a long period of calorie counting. How would they fix their “damaged” BMR/increase their BMR.
you’re seriously such an inspiration for me, you motivate me so much and i know and understand so much more about health and fitness thanks to you, keep grinding girl ��
Just alternate day fast works better,if your healthy = shredded
Dr. I was on SAD my highest weight was 226 lbs then after Clean keto (no dairy no nuts)
I went down to 127 lbs.
I unfortunately had a terrible accident that made me had a horrible flare up of my spondylolisthesis, couldn’t walk etc. So I learned that Carnivore diet could help me heal faster. IT DID!!
Unfortunately with the vasts steroids medication of course I gained weight to 152 lbs. I am 5′ 6″ 47 y female postmenopausal.
But after 3 months of Carnivore
(Only Animal Protein and Fats, no dairy no nuts, no carbs whatsoever only from eggs). I was off completely of ALL MEDICATIONS.
I’m Carnivore for about 1 year now not restricting calories on the contrary eating till satisfied (1 1/2 2 1/2 lbs of meat a day) in 3 meals. This so I could heal hormones, metabolism, eating disorders (ex binger), depression, neuropathy pain, constipation, high blood pressure, cholesterol, sleep disorder, etc. AND IT DID!!!
Not only that but my true hunger levels!!
So I felt confident to try some EF (Extended fasting) Once a WK of 46 hr with homemade electrolytes, then refeed with carnivore meal (14 oz beef w organs and tallow or butter) then OMAD’S like 3 times a week, the rest my usual 2 meals a day. I dropped from 152 to 142 in 1 week without restricting calories,
keep in mind I was in ketosis to begin with so no “water weight loss there”. I feel really amazing, definitely body composition has really changed.
I am jogging now (fartlek) only 3 miles. Plus Stability, Flexibility, Resistance and Functional and Weight Training. Not every day.
I play with my macros ratio Fat=60+% Protein =40%
What do you recommend, any tips for me Doctor?
I just watched a video saying you SHOULD count your calories ��
What about spaghetti squash? Didn’t see it on the list! How much of each portion if trying to lose fat? Thanks!
Youre overcomplicafing stuff, its more calories out than calories in if you want to loose weight, and more calories in than calories out if you want to gain weight.
But everyone has a diffirent metabolism, so i suggest using an online Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculator and if youre unsure how many calories youre taking per day use a calorie counting app like MyFitnessPal or something similar to that.
This (calorie counting bussiness) worked for me to loose majority of the fat i didnt want (AKA cutting) and now its working for me to build muslce (AKA bulking), so it should 99.876% work for you too.
oh for fuck sake. why do experts not understand basic biochemistry? it’s literally biochem 101, open any textbook, you’ll see the metabolic pathways, you’ll see the reactions. it’s not rocket science. energy can’t be created. you give someone more energy than they use, they will store it. you make them expand more than you provide, they will have to use those stores.
absorption and gut bacteria affect only one thing: how much energy will be “extracted” from food. so yeah, in the end, you still simply have to eat less.
lol. of course. he’s selling a fucking book.
Hi Autumn, can you suggest what’s the best way to increase our BMR? I think I slows down my metabolism by counting calories from my previous diet before i get to watch your youtube channel
Hi Autumn, at the end of the video you said to “watch this video right here” but you forgot to add the link. I just wanted to tell you because I know people will want to see the video. I think I remember which one that was and saw it already. I like the video! Counting calories is too crazy because you just can’t live life that way!! Thanks!
SOOOOO, I NEED TO COUNT CALORIES TO GAIN WEIGHT???? Lol i need to gain weight
It still surprises me, how some people don’t know about Custokebon Secrets, although a lot of people get great results because of it. Thanks to my friend who told me about Custokebon Secrets, I have lost a ton of weight with it without starving myself.
Just came across your channel!
Started my weight loss journey a fortnight ago and so glad to have found your videos!
So helpful and motivating ������
I freaking love you!! I love how direct and matter of fact this is..no blah blah blah for like 20 min then get to the point. So real.
Whatever, I lost 90lbs and have kept it off for over 8 years simply by cutting calories and EXPECTING TO BE HUNGRY/CRANKY/ETC.. this shit is NOT comfortable, so suck it up butter cup and quit looking for easy ways out.
I used to count calories, but now I just eat reasonable portions and healthy food. I’m alright if i do that. I make sure to listen to my body. It can take a bit of time to understand what your body is telling you. I make sure my macros aren’t imbalanced. I keep a good eye on those. I’ve been losing weight since I started keeping my protein and carbs more balanced. I’ve also stopped eating out after work. I work two days a week. I am also better about drinking enough water.
i feel like since i’ve stopped counting calories i focus more on the quality of the food hehe
I like your content as well as your explanation compare to other somany youtubers. I am searching for good content, so from my browsing I came to know about this, it may also helpful to our other viewer, I am requesting you all that atleast once you gothrough it and if you dont like then dont go into them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdjV_tKpRuM&t=6s
You keep track of calories (calories in/out) for the same reason why you should keep track of what you spend (money in/out). If you are physically healthy, I don’t understand why you are are not financially healthy. Same concept.
What if you have health issues and can’t work out, even if you want to doctor’s tell you it’s to risky. How do you keep wait off
I love this video, thank you so much. Your system really helped me so I can do my own meal plans and actually understand them.
I will definitely buy your book. Thanks you for sharing knowledge for free.
Wow I’ve just found your channel and it’s a new burst of inspiration for me! ☺️
Great video! Counting calories is such a waste of time and energy. Our bodies arent a math problem and it just doesent work that way. Thank for sharing this:)
OMG i love watching your vlogs! you are so real and just here to help. you are an inspiration and i can’t wait for more videos! It’s amazing to see how hard you work, how hard you work out and you still socialise, eat healtyh. Its just like wow. It can be done and you make excuses
One of the most misleading statements about keto diets is that calories don’t matter as long as you’re not consuming carbs.
This stems from the insulin to obesity theory and it goes something like this:
1.Carbs cause insulin to be secreted.
2.Insulin (the storage hormone) stores those carbs as fat.
3.Eliminate carbs and you’ll stop storing fat regardless of calories consumed.
4.Become a fat burning machine.
It’s true that getting into a state of ketosis will increase fat oxidation. After all, fats and carbs are the main fuels used in the muscles for oxidation during exercise. If you eliminate carbs, then eventually the body is left with no choice but to use fat as the primary source for fuel. Boom! Increased fat oxidation, right?
But there’s a difference in fat oxidation and a reduction in fat mass, which can only happen in an energy deficit. And if you’re consuming an excess of calories from fat, then the body will do the same thing with those excess calories from fat as it does with carbs: it’ll store them for later use.
The reason that a ketogenic diet works well for some people is that it can increase satiation – the feeling of fullness. This higher degree of satiation can naturally cause some to eat fewer calories, which leads to fat loss despite the fact that they may not be counting calories.
The ketogenic diet will work for fat loss in the same way that every other diet works for fat loss – by creating an energy deficit. You cannot eat as much as you want on a keto diet and still lose fat simply because you eliminated a macronutrient source.
People love to hear: “You can eat as much of X and Y as you want, as long as you don’t eat Z and you will lose fat”
Eating two combined macronutrients without the third can’t break the law of thermodynamics.
I’m down 30lbs and all I’ve done is calorie count and now I get 10 000 steps in too.
you have an AMAZING BODY! But i must say… I always thought that I was bigboned or naturally put on weight easily, until I went vegan (i PROMISE this is not me trying to convert anyone!!!!!) and when I did, it’s just so effortless for me to maintain the kind of body I want and I feel so light and good, and it also has brought so much confidence to me! I love your channel Georgie, you’re such an ozzie goddess!!
All your meals look so bomb too. I wish I had money/space in my fridge for a meal delivery service. I’m a full time college student and I work part time it would be such a lifesaver omg
To all the people in the comment section talking about they lost weight counting calories. You are all going to gain the weight back if you did indeed lose weight counting calories (a lot of these comments are from momths ago, so many of you for sure have started gaining back) futhermore, successful weight lose is weight lose that has been maintained for 3+ years. Just do the research, I do not know much about the diet world. However, I do know that counting calories FAILS over the long term. Lastly don’t anyone tell me that you have maintained weight lose or know someone who has maintained weight loss by restricting calories, BECAUSE ITS NOT TRUE.
Yass to functional foods! Also love your videos, so inspiring to know that with a bit of consistency results will come! Especially love seeing you balancr it with fulltime work xx
But you weren’t fat or even chubby before. But I understand.
If the woman in the example is burning 500 calories a day, is eating 1400 safe? I’m considering a similar regimen, but I’ve always heard that the minimum for a woman is 1200 net.
What exactly is Custokebon Secrets? How does this thing really work? I notice lots of people keep on talking about this popular fat burn method.
If I didn’t count calories I wouldn’t have known I’m literally under eating which is why I am paying attention to my calories
If you want to gain weight than get more calories in than calories out, or In ‘N’ Out everyday.
The thumbnail promoting or insinuating that eating only 1400 calories in a day is healthy or ideal is really dangerous and does bother me a lot. This is only sustainable short term and is NOT enough energy to sustain your body. Most body types will require around 1500-1800 just to function for a day (before any kind of activity or exercise). I watched this video through hoping she’d correct this but then she even drops in that you can eat 1200 to lose weight. So damaging to young viewers.
Can you please do a full supplement video?!! Like literally explain and show every supplement and/or vitamins or health tablets you take?! Because I’ve watched all your videos and seen some tablets that I’m interested in. But then in other videos you take other ones?! So I was wondering if you take them all together or??? By the way I loveeee your channel❤️❤️❤️
Always love all your outfits �� where are the jeans your paired with your black kookai bodysuit from?
This is awesome Georgie:) your putting the knowledge out there about eating the right foods/what weight training does to your body! Keep inspiring people! x
I wish I had locate the “Yamzoko Weebly” (Google it) a long time ago. I burned 12 lbs in 3 weeks up to now. There is certainly still need of physical exercises even just a couple of times a week as well as the foodstuff to have should be best. The outcome presented to me is astounding. Undoubtedly, this is strongly recommended and I do wish this would give good results to you too because it did to me..
I’ve seen MANY ways of explaining a caloric deficit, but this is hands down the best way I’ve ever seen. Explained so simply. Weight loss really is just math!!! Thank you.
When it comes to eating healthy, you have to try not to fall victim to modern fad diet plans. Extreme diets are a risk for your health, especially ones that seriously restrict your every day nutritionary intake. While they may generate quick weight loss, these diets are never a long-term answer for your weight problem. It is best to check out Custokebon Secrets on google since it is not just another fad diet where you starve yourself.
Are you a supporter of intermittent fasting? I was born with Spina Bifida and my doctor told me to avoid intermittent fasting because it is a starvation method that cannot be maintained. Thoughts?
I was the obese boy and I ended up going from 93 kilos to 65 kilos in a couple of months. All because of calorie counting when I ate whatever the heck I wanted
Facts! Iv lost 70lbs doing the same thing 240lbs to 170lb. And no it doesn’t happen over night. This took me 2 years. I eat about 300 hundred calorie deficit but walk 1 hour a day to get me a total of 500 calorie deficit. The biggest tip I can give to others trying to lose weight is to WEIGH your food. Look at the nutrition label and see how many grams is in 1 serving of that food. Most people who eyeball their food end up eating more calories than they think which will slow down your weight loss. If you’re thinking you’re in a 500 calorie deficit but actually only in a 200 calorie deficit you’ll think counting calories doesn’t work. Remember don’t forget to track sneaky calories like oils and sauces. Don’t drink your calories, eat them you’ll be more full. I promise you this works.
This guy has that creepy Bill Gates vibe. Too much information out there. Just eat as much real, whole food as possible and see how you feel. Everyone is different. These guys are all profiting on our confusion. Information overload.
Im so glad I found you. I wish I could call. How meny day should you fast. I’m doing it every day and watched someone who said not too. So confused ��
Thank you so much. I’ve been so strict to myself, staying away from carbs, sugar etc. This video woke me up from that whole cult and mindset. Now I’m just doing cico and enjoying my life instead of being locked in a cage
did you take a gap year when you finished school? love your vids xxx
I agree with the side effects she said about keto diet.
When I tried it, I was constantly light headed;
I couldn’t concentrate long on anything;
And, I had heightened levels of stress.
The problem with this argument is… counting calories does work, just go on Reddit on r/progresspics and see for yourself, so many people lose significant amounts of weight (including me 290lbs to 185lbs) just by counting calories, the food I ate hardly changed I just ate less of it.
So as I say, it’s all well and good to say it doesn’t work, but your studies don’t mean much when in the real world people are losing weight by counting calories.
If you ate 3,000 calories worth of kale per day you would gain weight, it’s as simple as that. Just look at herbivore animals who get fat eating vegetables before hibernation.
OMG i love this video, it’s so beautiful:) they get better and better honestly!!
This is just so inspirational!!!!!!! Thank you for telling your story
Ty! I’m really learning a lot so don’t mind me commenting on some videos glad to be back
Calories in Vs Calories out. Anyone that says anything different FIRE THEM
Arnold Schwarzenegger and other fitness gurus recommend counting calories. Counting calories have been around for over 50 years, even my grand mother knows.about it.
Sir, would you like your pizza cut into 12 or 24 slices?
Yogie Berra
“Oh, I couldnt eat 24, better make it 12”
Georgie, you are one of the inspirations for me to be healthy for myself and not just for aesthetics! Love following your fitness journey, keep it up!!
