Metabolic disease is more complicated than just diet. In my opinion, the primary driver is obesity and caloric intake. For instance, it is virtually impossible to have a high cholesterol while actively losing weight, regardless of dietary cholesterol intake. Dietary cholesterol outside of a caloric deficit does actually increase serum cholesterol (unless it is so high that it won’t go any higher). This distinction where people get the egg debate wrong and there is decades of research that is consistent with this. Metabolic disease like diabetes is also closely linked to obesity since adipose tissue modulates insulin production and usage. It is the most sensitive tissue to insulin and the larger your adipose gets, the worse your metabolic profile becomes. This problem becomes exponentially worse as adipose begins to wreck your hormonal profile with excess estrogen and decreased testosterone. People are debating these minor differences like diets, sugar, etc., when the biggest solution and lowest hanging fruit is and always has been to be at a healthy weight, strength training to increase muscle mass, and some amount of aerobic exercise. You can mess with milligrams of fats or sugars but it is almost pointless.

Unreal video

As someone who has worked with medical professionals, I can say from experience that not every certified nurse knows about proper nutrition. You get dudes like Edi Abu who can spew a bunch of broscience and come across as knowledgeable because he has muscles. I buy health and nutrition books like The Abs Diet and various publications from The Mayo Clinic and other well-reputed sources, and I managed to build a balanced diet for myself, rich in lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs) and leafy greens, and I restrict any fast food that I order, limiting it to trusted Latin restaurants that offer long grain and brown rice as well as quinoa. I also allow myself a minor cheat dessert once or twice a week. I mostly drink water and tea, with occasional decaf mushroom coffee. I’ve lost 17 lbs in 2 months, and I feel great. Proper nutrition education, not broscience from KZread reels or TikTok vids, makes a big difference.

If carbs are bad, isotonic hydration would have disappeared a long time ago since they contain a lot of glucose. But most athletics still consume a fair amount of them throughout their career. Ultimately, calories in, calories out. People who suffer from mild insulin insensitivity are in fact better off losing weight normally as that fixes the issue. And you don't need to go extreme vegan or extreme carnivore to do that.

Hey, a Berserk reference!

Another reason why losing weight quickly leads to gaining weight faster overtime is because the body can only take a limited amount of energy from fat per week. If your caloric deficit is too great it will also burn muscle mass. Long term this loss of muscle mass will reduce your daily maintenance need of calories and you will accrue more excess calories with the same diet. I really like the advice you give on this video, and the whole review is a good way to get people to think and try and "make their own effing research" lol

It's funny how Bryan Johnson and Brian Johnson are completely opposite types of people.

I wanted to lose weight about 2 years ago coz I basically lt myself go suring the pandemic. I bumped into Dr. Berg's vid and was introduced to keto. I followed his stuff and I actually lost 17kg in about 3-4 months. That convinced me keto was the only truth. But the it turned out that the reason I lose that weight was because I tracked my cals and was on a constant cal deficit. Now I am back to my balanced diet, watching my cals and I've had no problems since the switch from keto. I think the reasons why these diets are so popular is that there is a degree of truth on the surface, like eating whole foods, staying away from calorie-dense and ultra processed food etc. Since these general theories work, it leads people to then believe in those non-accurate claims too. Just like how I thought keto was the one and only.

sugar is life!

Someone had to say it

I used to think sugar was bad until I realised that all carbohydrates are broken down into glucose by the body (hence "blood sugar"). There is literally nothing wrong with sugar itself. There is only the differences in the packaging that the sugar comes in - e.g. more or less micronutrients, fibre, etc etc - and the amount you consume. This alone (+ maybe whether or not you're diabetic) is what determines whether sugar is healthy or not for you at any given time. Carbohydrates (sugars) are also insanely anabolic.
