Why Calorie Restriction never causes weight loss
Losing weight is about controlling hunger, not calories. If you simply eat less, you'll get more hungry. Instead, if you control hunger, you'll naturally eat less. #weightlosstips #weightloss #jasonfung #nutrition #health

Just stop it.
We are serious over here😠
Basal metabolic rate has to be maintained or you die! Don’t BS! ONE can only exercise so much before the lactic acid build up enforce a STOP.
When you reduce food intake below basal metabolic rate, insulin levels would be so low most of the time you are in a fat burning state.
Insulin is an energy storage hormone which directs the body to burn glucose, store TRIGLYCERIDES in fat cells and inhibits the release of fat from fat cells into the blood stream.
When you eat keto long term, the ketones generated by the body can exit in urine and breath. Thus, you waste a hell lots of valuable energy / money.
If eat less calories work for you, good. But it didn’t work for me, it didn’t work for billions of people who want to lose weight. The problem with cutting calories is that it makes us hungry. Hunger always wins for obese people. How do you think they get fat? So the first thing to do is conquer hunger. How? Go on a keto diet. After the hunger goes away, do intermittent fasting to burn fat. You can do intermittent fasting without keto, but the risk of rebound is high. Why? Because hunger always wins.
@eddymison3527Eat whole foods, not highly processed ones. Eat well balanced diets so the body can function optimally without hunger. Get up and move rather than being a couch potato. Exercise to keep your muscles rather than focusing on munchies. Highly palatable foods and fructose are ADDICTIVE!
OMAD , TMAD are good which you claim hunger always wins.
Wouldn’t that mean that raising your calorie intake would cause your body to burn more calories, so you’d never gain fat? Is there a cutoff where that stops happening?
Yes. He over simplifies his arguments and is bias towards “his” methods. Your body will only lower its set point so much.
I just ate at or a little below my bmr on a animal based diet, exercising off any calories from carbs, once I was routinly in ketosis… oopsie I went a full point lower than my bmr goal.
@jal8631 He is not. The thing is that the bodies treats different calories differently. 200 Calories from sugar are not processed in the same way as 200 calories from broccoli. One obvious difference is the insulin response for example.
He’s a moron, your body won’t continually lower its set point.
wait so is an calorie deficit needed for fatloss because im confused?
This is so wrong lol
so is a calorie deficit needed for fatloss whether you eat lots of sugar youll still lose fat as long as you in a deficit right?
$30 ? I can’t afford that in this economy. Can you please gift it to me Dr. Fung?
Don’t eat, your hunger will go away on its own. And then you’ll save money on buying the book. A win-win situation.
Go to the library
Doctor Fung is a gift from heaven ❤
You look great Dr. Fung. Younger !
