Villanizing a specific nutrient has been detrimental to the overall health of society. Look at what happened with the diets in the last century when first sugars were villanized. Or when fats got villainized. The other got promoted, by the "downfall" of the other. The key part about eating balanced was attacked, because fat was healthier than sugar and vice versa. Now this is happening with carbs vs protein..
@bobloblaw6960 sugar is a naturally present macro in fruits. It serves the function of simple and quick energy, alongside feeding your microbiome. Added sugars however, indeed serve no function
Well said. They told us saturated fat was the devil in the 90’s and everyone bought into that. We’ve since learned that saturated fats are ESSENTIAL and promote great hormone levels
Reducing your carbohydrate intake helps you “appear leaner” but it also helps your body become more insulin sensitive which is important for hormonal health such as healthier testosterone production. Some people bodies may already be able to efficiently utilize insulin however if your body is naturally prone to storing body fat that can potentially be an indicator that your body don’t regulate insulin as effective as others do. So depending on your body type it’s actually very beneficial to have low carb days or a overall limit on carbs in general to support better insulin sensitivity & your body will actually be able to utilize/burn the actual fat on your body more effectively thereby supporting actual weight loss not just “water weight”
Working out and building muscle mass makes your body more insulin sensitive. I’m not talking about body builders but someone like the guy in the video would not have to worry about carbohydrates cause his muscle mass is very insulin sensitive.
In my case, I was still a skinny guy, but during the pandemic, I gained a big belly of visceral fat. High triglycerides and cholesterol due to my poor diet, which was rich in carbohydrates during that time. We should not only choose our carbohydrates wisely (avoiding starches, sugars, and processed foods) but also control the amount we consume. Today, in addition to exercise, I have a more balanced calorie deficit diet, with a good balance of proteins, healthy fats, and lots of vegetables (from which I prefer to get my carbs). I do try to reduce carbs, and I have completely eliminated gluten. The results are very good-not just aesthetically, but for overall health. I still weigh the same as before and during the pandemic: 69kg, but now my body composition and health is different.
He's made his point. That said, if you have a beach day tomorrow, doing no carb to reduce water weight will really help for the day, even if temporary.
The old "calories in-calories out" argument. Right now there seems to be science supporting both sides of the argument (baseball cap Jordan vs carb-eating black tank top Jordan). But just you wait, baseball cap Jordan will prove to be right. Hormones affect the calories-out portion of the equation. You can eat in a calorie surplus of protein, and not gain weight, while you can be in a calorie deficit eating tons of carbs and gain weight. That's been my experience at one point, much to my complete astonishment and confusion. As a Chinese guy who used to eat three bowls of rice a day, grew up on this stuff and love it to death, it was hard for me to accept. I was also finding it hard to keep weight off. Well, now that I'm low carb/high protein/high fat, the weight is kept off a lot more easily.
Dude I lost 75lbs and ate white rice, potatoes, tortillas, bread, etc. everyday. I tracked my calories tho and just made sure I was in a deficit everyday and guess what…it worked. It is that simple. Calories in and calories out isn’t some argument, it’s fact.
@@tylercarey5211 , no, CICO is not a fact. It works to a certain extent, and then your body's hormones start getting out of whack. A bodybuilder friend of mine, in preparation for his shows, would do all kinds of things to lean down and get his bodyfat percentage to super low levels. Couple decades later, and guess what.... his basal metabolic rate is a staggeringly low 1450. How do you suppose it got that low...? And he's STILL in great shape, ripped and muscular, so it's not like loss of muscle led to his dramatic decrease in his metabolism. So...there's no way you can tell me it's a simple CICO. The fact is, your body will be forced to use bodyfat stores if you're in a caloric deficit. But, God created our bodies ingeniously. Your body will find ways to survive. So if in the long term you keep it up, guess what.... through hormones, your body will lower your basal metabolism. And as soon as you start eating a *tad* bit more... you're going to balloon up. There's a reason the vast majority of people who lose tons and tons of weight, gain most of it back, if not more. What you eat does matter, because it will affect your hormone levels.
@ yeah well there’s no reason to stay in calorie defect forever. Once you get to your desired weight then eat at maintenance. I’ve maintained my 75lb weight loss for over a year and I eat 3200 calories a day now. I didn’t fuck anything up.
@@tylercarey5211 , nobody said anything about staying in a calorie deficit forever. I was talking about how hormones play a big part in metabolism, aka the calories out part of the equation. If you haven't messed up your metabolism, then good for you. But that doesn't mean what I said was incorrect. Nor does your experience mean CICO is factual. More and more science is coming out showing CICO to be the myth. And that was my point.
Reducing sodium makes you lose water. Where is your source that reducing carbs does that? Btw, I can confirm that inflammation is bad, very bad. Anyone with an autoimmune illness knows that. But a normal person can handle a normal amount of inflammation. It's all about how much is going on. And I have never reduced any carbs, but I'm super thin, so overall you're right.
Carbs hold on to water why do you think that lost carnivore get really excited if there first week of the diet. Because they lose a ton of water. But you do lose gym performance, how to I know this because I tried carnivore for a week and felt like crap at the gym and could berly do anything. Then I just ate in a deficate but only ate carbs from fruits vegetables, and whole grains and preformed well at the gym and lost weight. When I did carnivore I lost about 6 pounds in the first week but that’s because most of it was water weight.
Idk when I’m on cal deficit and eat a lot of carbs 1) I get super hungry for more 2) becomes difficult to get enough protein 3) low protein + high carbs + cal deficit = muscle loss/atrophy + fat retention
Before the only thing that can make me gain weight was by eating junk foods, drinking beer, and sleeping 9+ hrs a day. My metabolism is so strong that I can eat almost anything and not gain any weight everything gets converted into energy. Right now, I'm doing high protein and calorie deficit, because I like how my muscles look leaner with this.
Ridiculous content. Like people are the same at different stages of their lives. Why does Blood Pressure change with age (it gets higher). Why does testosterone reduce with age? Active men < 30 can eat carbs with few problems. Beyond 30 why do you think people get "middle age spread"? I am in my 60s, yet with never going hungry I dropped 25kgs of fat, I have a 6pack. Yes I exercise (15 hours a week of moderate/high aerobic). My body looks better than 95% of men in their 20s. I have the BP of a 10yo boy (despite being 68kgs and 178cm tall). What did I do besides exercise? Over a 3 year period I cut my carbs down as low as I can and mostly eat meat/eggs/fish/dairy and animal fat. I stopped needing to see medical doctors.
No carbs = no energy. If no energy how to lift weights??😮 I remember my body building days for competition. We had tubs of steamed potato or sweet potato
It think the carb approach depends. If your are metabolically fit, carbs and the source of carbs probably matters less since you most likely have a brief spike in insulin. In people that are metabolically unfit, that spike can last a lot longer - potentially hampering weight loss. We probably also shouldn't insinuate that inflammation from exercise and inflation from eating certain types of food are the same thing. I agree that carbs (overall) aren't evil, but your approach to consuming carbs should be based on health of your metabolism and goals.
Insulin spikes dont hinder fat loss. Insulin is one of many hormones that modulate lipolysis, and there are many hormones that supersede the signal that insulin provides. Insulin is, however, potently anti catabolic. That's why when you look at a meta regression of metabolic ward underfeeding studies, the highest carb dieters always lose the least lean mass, while the high fat dieters lose more.
Going low carb helps you to control hunger which helps when you are cutting calories to lose body fat. The lower calories is what causes weight loss but the low carb diet is a tool to make it easier.

Exactly what happens to me and that is a healthy issue, not everything is about aesthetics!!
For Most Malaysians, Food Lifestyle are HIGH ON CARBS‼️- 3 or 4 times a day.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper all are Heavy on CARBS‼️

However, it's easier to run a carlorie deficit when keeping carbs to a minimum!
*However, essentially if high carb/low fat, even if calorie surplus, u won’t gain fat!
@@JW_______ weight possibly, not ‘fat’.
This would definitely be my family members arguing and just making statements without knowing things without knowledge
Quality science content, well done!
Sending this to my co-worker. He still says its BS. LOL.
Then he must be coping 💀
Just don't eat processed food. Cereals, legumens, greens. If you want meat but it's not necessary...
That second sentence doesnt make any sense. Youve just listed 3 foods. Water, chicken, pizza.
Eat in moderation
Jordan can u tell us roughly how much rice we should take a day to bulk
bruce lee ate TONS of rice. do as he did but work out lol
My diet changes on my schedule. I hybrid train; strength training & running. When I run I need more carbs.

Eating carbs does not inherently make you fat, but the reason most people are fat is they eat too many carbs
Carbs, but in form of low GI fruits, not from pastry, soda, candy...

At least 50 percent of your diet macros should come from healthy carbs ! To stay healthy and fit
Thank you 😂
I am glad to hear you are not against eating carbs. So many people think that carbs is the enemy.
Our body needs carbs.
The type of exercise you do, carbs will never make you fat but if you eat carbs with zero exercise you will definitely get belly fat.
Not if you’re in a calorie deficit.
@@tylercarey5211and to reach a calorie deficit you gotta exercise. You can't have a calorie deficit without physical work

Biological systems such as humans do not consume calories, we consume mass. Calories are units of heat energy.
We measure food in calories because it represents how much energy it would release when digested
@M0rtanius No it doean't represent that, that's the whole problem with calories. Calories are measured as heat energy. Humans use chemical energy.
Going low carb helps you to control hunger which helps when you are cutting calories to lose body fat. The lower calories is what causes weight loss but the low carb diet is a tool to make it easier.
So I can eat carbs just a little
Everything in moderation
