Yes, my weight finally started shifting when I went lectin free. Still eating carbs just different kinds and not going hungry whatsoever. It was inflammation and endocrine dysregulation.
@bannanaization
Ive been trying to get people to understand that fat loss and weight loss are different things and that you can lose fat without losing weight lol

My daughter was extremely obese. She actually ate little but gained weight. Her metabolism was wrecked because it down regulated her metabolism because of starvation to keep her alive. I’ve quit keto. Same thing is happening to me. I ate probably 800 calories a day. My metabolism lowered to save energy because I wasn’t eating for energy. Gained weight. I’m paying the price now if 12 years low carb.

I also noticed when i was on 1st shift for a few months, had to wake up at 4am everyday, got horrible sleep, i gained body fat. My stress was way up, which caused me to eat more than i needed, on top of having bad sleep. As soon as i went back to 2nd shift and fixed my sleep, my body composition improved. Sleep and circadian rhythm is super important for body composition

Most overweight people I’ve ever known don’t actually eat very much at all. My mother, for example; I lived with her for thirty years and she ate very little as someone who was at least 150 lbs overweight. I think childhood and pregnancy trauma tipped her estrogen production and hypothyroidism over the edge when the stress of motherhood and family life kicked in. She also became extremely violent and full of rage like someone with multiple cluster b personality disorders. She was obviously hypothyroid and estrogen dominant and never diagnosed or treated as such. The CICO logic just feels like one more way to moralize an issue that is biological/physiological/hormonal rather than being the sin of “gluttony”. Most hypothyroid overweight people I know are starving themselves out of shame and doing themselves no favors. I’ve done it myself at times and I’ve only been overweight a small fraction of my life. When they/we do “cheat” it’s with food that is high in PUFA by sneaking one donut or having a handful of something “salty” or “sweet” and that’s not helping either. They’d be better off eating sugars and salt without PUFA as needed throughout the day along with balanced meals. But to be seen by others or self-perceived as eating a regular sized meal as an overweight person is an extremely shame-filled experience and so it doesn’t happen as it ought.

Clear and thorough discussion about CICO, Thank you! Looking forward for next episode.
@solomani-42
Great info, Jay. Thanks.
@NikasNeuroNuggets
Great work! Please have Brandon Dacruz the man is shredded and is constantly talking about the benefits of high energy flux aka eating MORE and moving more versus what mainstream says which is eat less move more ❤
@andresgomez4216
this is true i got to 8 percent body fat when I stopped being in a calorie deficit and started building muscle without trying necessarily to get lean. Cico is actually a big misconception. It really hard to get out of the cico mentality because the energy balance way sounds counterintuitive.
@jx2938
I love this format and your way of teaching! Thank you for talking about this, the idea of calories in calories out never sat right with me. People just want an equation like CICO because they don't want to have to use their 🧠 and they don't want to have to have discernment about what they eat. And I don't blame them, it's not their fault we're being poisoned by our food system.
@sissio7055
This was the so informative and well explained, makes total sense and English isn't even my native language ! Greetings from Paris France where we are watching you! Thank you very much for your work, you should be invited to the Diary of a CEO, hopefully your insight will get plenty of views, this deserved to be seen by everyone 🙏😊
@AJ-ds5gf
it would be great if you included the references in the description -- would love to dive into them deeper! EDIT: I see you linked them onto your own website, nvm =)
@artjomm.817
This is the most sober and impatial destruction of CICO I have seen to date.
@highperformancelongevity
Thank you. So much great information here!
@CerebralFriction
For me, the idea behind CICO was just the concept of energy balance, and my understanding of it has evolved along with my understanding of bioenergetics. And then when I hear people saying its not CICO, it comes across like they're saying energy balance is not a consideration. Then we end up talking past each other debating a concept we're both defining completely different. Its all very tiresome.
@jvm66
Been drinking a ton of soda bc of this podcast. Its actually a blessing bc i use binge on a ton of candy and cookies that could add up to thousands of calories, now i just drink regular soda for carb source and consume thousands of less calories 😂
@RamintaGar
Once the problem is described, it is only the matter of time until the solution will be found.
@Atheria444
I disagree with the thing about long-term lower body weight. I am pretty sure my body liked a higher set point years ago. But, I forced my weight down long ago and have kept it stable for decades. It seems now that my body has accepted this lower weight as its set point and it's much easier to maintain now.
@jbbbjj
Excellent video! By any chance, do you have a video that explains even more how an obese person can make changes to lose fat without cutting calories so drastically?
