Date: December 18th, 2022 8:47 PM Author: curious cocky gaping spot the nutritional literature over-fucking-whelmingly confirms the health-promoting benefits of vegetable oils when consumed in place of saturated fat and/or refined carbs. E.g., cooking and baking with olive oil/canola oil instead of butter. However, what people here do is equate these oils with the ultra processed food that often contains the oils. Those are two different things. The "seed oil" in the Oreo isn't what's making you fat. It's the Oreo that's making you fat. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 9:21 PM Author: Charcoal bateful national security agency step-uncle's house Oh come on, man. While I generally agree with your statements about some vegetable/seed oils, the highly processed fats found in industrialized baked goods like Oreos are uniquely bad for you.
Until about 10 years ago, almost all the fats found in Oreos were partially hydrogenated, producing trans fats (which could be labeled as unsaturated fats even though they behaved like saturated fats) via trans-cis isomerism. Since trans fats have been banned, industrial food-oil producers have turned to fat interestification to create triglycerides that would not be found in the sources the oils are derived from. Early looks at interestified fats seem to show they seem to promote inflammation and adipose tissue growth.

I point out that industrial food oils are completely unnatural interestified fats and provided a study that shows they may be harmful.

|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:10 PM Author: Mischievous Narrow-minded Field Chad Nah I’m referring to a controlled trial where there were 3 groups. Low carb, medium carb, high carb. The diets were pre assigned and tracked. Obviously I’m not referring to some “study” conducted by a questionnaire.
But seriously you think eating 3k calories of refined carbs will have the same metabolic impact of eating 3k calories of steak? If so you have a lot of learning to do. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:12 PM Author: Boyish big-titted potus school cafeteria well different metabolic impact just means fewer calories out, moron, I never said eating pure sugar was good for you, just that it comes down to the same thing at the end of the day
also those trials are also just people saying what they did |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:16 PM Author: Mischievous Narrow-minded Field Chad 1. It doesn’t mean that as the term is used, otherwise it would be a useless term. 2. No they aren’t, as I just explained. Controlled trials where subjects were fed different diets assigned to them.
The study shows the impact on weight gain that different diets have even if the calories are the exact same. This means that determining whether a diet is advantageous based purely on its caloric content is faulty. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:17 PM Author: Boyish big-titted potus school cafeteria calories in is what you're discussing
calories out is a separate matter that you are entirely ignoring, yes a diet of pure bread is going to make you fatter, because your fat ass won't burn as many calories for a variety of reasons, one being that you only eat bread |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:25 PM Author: Mischievous Narrow-minded Field Chad That could be an aspect of it (increasing metabolism I guess) but another aspect I think is more significant is that heavy carb intake leads to higher weight gain because of how it is processed by the body and how it can contribute to insulin resistance. The fact is high carb diets have excess calories that are not nutritious and not used by the body and have to be stored as fat.
I believe the calories in calories out meme is those trying to say eating whatever you want is fine so long as you track the calories, which has been disproven I’d say in terms of weight gain and body composition |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:26 PM Author: Boyish big-titted potus school cafeteria I agree that how it is processed has an effect, but at the end of the day if you go out and burn a calorie you burned a goddamed calorie and there's no getting around that, your body doesn't have magic reserves of extra secret carb calories that will never be used
the confounding factors are what makes it seem this way to you |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:43 PM Author: yellow vivacious library indirect expression By “disproven” I assume you mean that most people who use that dietary approach as a means of losing significant weight eventually fail. But that’s true of all diets because most people can’t do anything consistently for long term benefits. That’s why median retirement savings are a joke, and most people in the US are overweight and prediabetic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5255189&forum_id=2...id#45652953) |

Date: December 18th, 2022 8:12 PM Author: crusty antidepressant drug crotch Curious how "caloric value" is measured. If I eat 2000 calories of carrots, I assume I will gain less weight than if I eat 2000 calories of sugar cookies, simply because carrots take more energy to break down.

Date: December 18th, 2022 8:23 PM Author: yellow vivacious library indirect expression It’s still largely correct, but the caveat is that it may be substantially easier to limit calories on certain types of diets.

It’s super effective if you are hyper focused on nutrition and can stick to your targets. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5255189&forum_id=2...id#45652886) |

Date: December 18th, 2022 8:30 PM Author: Charcoal bateful national security agency step-uncle's house As a broad approximation CICO is correct, but it ignores things like the thermic effect of food, insulin response, meal timing, and the impact of a whole slew of other hormones on body composition.
CICO will keep you in a normal BMI, but you’ll never really get cut with it unless you get lucky |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:35 PM Author: yellow vivacious library indirect expression I actually disagree with the cutting thing. It’s way easier to get cut if you know you are running a consistent and reasonable caloric deficit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5255189&forum_id=2...id#45652924) |

Date: December 18th, 2022 8:50 PM Author: Charcoal bateful national security agency step-uncle's house I’m using “cut” here to refer to shedding body fat and water to promote high muscle definition, not simply losing weight (e.g. cutting to make weight for wrestling). You will definitely lose weight running a caloric deficit, but your body composition at the end of your diet will be highly impacted by your level of activity, the macronutrient profile of what you eat, the hormonal responses the food creates, and the timing of when you eat it (such as keeping blood sugar and insulin levels low when liponeogenesis most commonly occurs).

|
Date: December 18th, 2022 8:51 PM Author: curious cocky gaping spot sounds like hocus pocus mechanistic BS body builders definitely count calories and eat a ton of protein. Eat a high protein diet that's calorically deficient. That's how you cut. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 9:03 PM Author: Charcoal bateful national security agency step-uncle's house It’s not hocus-pocus; it’s very basic nutrition science that every successful bodybuilder is familiar with. A former Mr. Olympia competitor is who originally taught me about it.
And anyways, isn’t your second statement exactly what I was saying (just dumber and less informed) and completely at odds with your “CICO is entirely correct” absolutism above? If it was CICO-only, why would eating a ton of protein matter? |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 9:07 PM Author: curious cocky gaping spot you lose less muscle mass (vs fat mass) when you prioritize protein consumption in a caloric deficit. Has nothing to do with CICO. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5255189&forum_id=2...id#45653088) |
|
Date: December 18th, 2022 9:28 PM Author: Charcoal bateful national security agency step-uncle's house So let me get this straight. You are saying: (1) I am an idiot for saying, among other things, that what you eat impacts your body composition and an equal amount of calories in two different foods result in different outcomes, and (2) what you eat impacts your body composition and an equal amount of calories in two different foods will result in different outcomes. Also, CICO is absolutely the only thing that matters, but also CICO has nothing to do with it.
Do I have that correct? |

Yeah, obviously the more of something you eat, the more calories you consume, the more likely you are to gain weight.
But it should be even more obvious that it can't *only* be calories in calories out. It should be evident to even a 5 year old that your body isn't going to process eating ice cream every day vs gorging yourself in one sitting, or drinking sugar water vs celery, in the same way. Plus, everyone shits and everyone shits differently. |

|
Date: December 19th, 2022 4:20 PM Author: ivory wonderful death wish partner cr
100 calories of celery vs 100 calories of cane sugar will obviously be digested differently and have different net caloric effects, but either way you can absorb at most 100 calories from each. So if you eat say 1500 calories per day you will lose weight, even though you can lose more depending on the foods that make up that 1500 |
|
Date: December 21st, 2022 4:27 PM Author: laughsome rose international law enforcement agency cuck This is because corn is highly bio-unavailable, due to how dense the cellulose is.
"100 calories" of corn will not be metabolized the same as 100 calories of sweet potatoes, despite both being complex carbs, due to bioavailability. Moreover, 100 calories of simple carbs will not be digested the same as 100 calories of fats; depending on insulin levels at time of consuming either, you will have radically different rates of metabolism (or fat storage).
Running a caloric deficit is a necessary but insufficient condition for optimal fat loss. |
