Neat. A study that doesn't even make a specific claim or conclusion of its own, and suggests two factors that are not ultra processed foods. That's not even good enough for some partial credit effort points.



OTOH I guess the values for those originally come from calorimeter (burning) and aren't adjusted for true net food energy. So for relevance to this thread, protein costs more energy during digestion than carbs. Thus a controlled diet of X nutritional-label calories could produce different weight gain-or-loss results depending if it was high protein or high carbs.

Oh that makes sense. That's why it's "net carbs", not "net calories" -- because it's already accounted for. Good to lnow

Do you happen to be able to point to the "lab animals on same-calorie diet, ultra-processed vs natural" results?

Not that I'm 100% disagreeing that ultra-processed foods are bad, but most everything I've seen on the subject says that the biggest issue is that these foods make it extremely easy to eat a far higher calorie diet. They're more calorie dense, faster to eat, and fight against satiation. 2000 calories of unprocessed food is a full 3 meals and a snack. 2000 calories of mcdonalds is lunch.

A good example is this NIH study where people eating the processed foods ate about 500 more calories, completely naturally.


How many calories are in a food's standard nutritional profile is already adjusted for ease of digestion / how much energy you are typically able to extract, so the uranium thing is just wrong.

I enjoy pendantry and technically correctism as much as the next person, but this agrees with the point I am trying to make badly here: These two calories aren't the same, and by your own admission here are not the same. You even mention fight satiation in your description of results for eating one thing and not another beyond calorie counts. If I eat 2000 calories of poo poo loving food and it turns out in some way those calories trick my body, and make it extremely easy to overeat other things while I am trying not to, that is fundamentally different then eating stuff that doesn't gently caress with my signaling pathways. It doesn't matter what the caloric measure of those foods are in terms of actual results and actions. They are clearly, even in those studies, showing you that they have implications for weight gain beyond mere CICO. We've been running a CICO model of weight-loss guidance for how long with an only increasing obesity profile cross culturally.

In fact: https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f1050.full

quote:

The history of obesity research is a history of two competing hypotheses. Gary Taubes argues that the wrong hypothesis won out and that it is this hypothesis, along with substandard science, that has exacerbated the obesity crisis and the related chronic diseases. If we are to make any progress, he says, we have to look again at what really makes us fat

Since the 1950s, the conventional wisdom on obesity has been simple: it is fundamentally caused by or results from a net positive energy balance—another way of saying that we get fat because we overeat. We consume more energy than we expend. The conventional wisdom has also held, however, that efforts to cure the problem by inducing undereating or a negative energy balance—either by counselling patients to eat less or exercise more—are remarkably ineffective.

Put these two notions together and the result should be a palpable sense of cognitive dissonance. Take, for instance, The Handbook of Obesity, published in 1998 and edited by three of the most influential authorities in the field. “Dietary therapy,” it says, “remains the cornerstone of treatment and the reduction of energy intake continues to be the basis of successful weight reduction programs.” And yet it simultaneously describes the results of such dietary therapy as “poor and not long-lasting.”1

Rather than resolve this dissonance by questioning our beliefs about the cause of obesity, the tendency is to blame the public (and obese patients implicitly) for not faithfully following our advice. And we embrace the relatively new assumption that obesity must be a multifactorial and complex disorder. This makes our failures to either treat the disorder or rein in the burgeoning epidemics of obesity worldwide somehow understandable, acceptable.


Here is another one the thread will love titled
"The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity: Beyond ‘Calories In, Calories Out’"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6082688/

quote:

According to an alternative view, changes in dietary quality since the 1970s produce hormonal responses that shift the “partitioning” of calories (metabolic fuels) consumed in a meal toward deposition in fat tissue.3–5 Consequently, fewer calories remain available in the blood stream for use by the rest of the body, driving hunger and overeating. Importantly, this model considers fat cells as central to the etiology of obesity, not passive storage sites of calorie excess.

Basically stop trying to calorie count fast food. You won't be successful losing weight if you continue to eat poo poo, even if you try to eat less poo poo overall.

I did keto for a while and I still cut carbs for competitions and stuff and I don't think it's that bad if you're actually eating 2000 calories a day and working out, but less so if you're treating it like you have carte blanche to eat as much as you want all the time and never go outside

My dude you have just produced a study that says carbs & processed foods make you want to eat more calories, which is the exact same thing I said. This one is just identifying a specific hypothesis for why, rather than looking at observed behavior.

I'll happily admit that calories in calories out is not a good method for practical weight control without dietary changes in the vast majority of people. I'm pretty mystified why you think I disagree, but hey if you really need the win take it!

that's not true, though. you ate 2000 calories of poo poo that didn't make you full, so then you go and eat 2000 more, so at the end of the day the actual caloric measure of those foods is actually the thing that matters at far as how much fat you ended up putting on

of COURSE you want to make it easier on yourself, by choosing to take in those initial 2000 calories in a form that makes you satiated for a long time so you don't even think about eating more afterwards. of COURSE you have to play the game with your brain and your hormones and signaling pathways and whatever. both things are true! the caloric measure of the foods you eat matters, and the way you eat in terms of feeling satiated or not is how you accomplish that without being absolutely miserable and starving all day

Simple: you eat 1 big mac for breakfast (600 cal) and 1 big mac combo (1000 cal) for dinner. At lunchtime you have methamphetamines (0 cal). Guaranteed weight loss!


Or maybe not, some people say it's not possible to lose weight eating a diet of ultra-processed foods. Maybe a side-effect of meth addiction is you get really into veggies, whole meats, and unprocessed grains?

protip: if you're struggling with fat loss and having trouble sticking to your diet, search your local Facebook for 'human centipedes in my area.' If you can find a centipede where the first person in the line is skinny and doesn't eat a lot, just hook up on the end and you'll be all set.

I’m just a genetic freak like that though, I will never develop plaque in my arteries, my brother who’s a health nut and exercises has super high LDL and I eat and exercise like a medieval king and my cholesterol is great. Genetics are cruel. Anyway, if you eat fewer calories than you expend you will lose weight, hth.

I had to go out and get a steak with a wedge of gorgonzola because of this thread.
My dinner included red wine.
It's keto I'm gonna lose weight now.

Actually I gotta add to this, when done at all right keto lowers blood cholesterol, if you cheat or cant get yourself going it's really loving bad though.
You don't have to eat clean keto, though I would if I ever did it. I mean your brain is made out of fat so you need high quality oils like that coconut mct oil, even prime cornfed beef isnt as good as grass fed.
Prime tastes better though, this steak I just had was store quality select from the butchers' counter, gotta go to church if you want a big pack of prime new yorks.
You know I went to the co recently and got a pack of shabu shabu thin sliced new york and they didnt cut the drat strap off of it. boo i say

You still have to count calories and eat cruciferous vegetables which is why riced cauliflower is a thing at all.
I would say that most people like myself would prefer intermittent cocaine bingeing to lose weight.
