[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some people, maybe it's about portion control of healthy foods. However, if you at two cups of green beans instead of one cup, I don't think that would cause an increase in calories.

There has to be something else, like eating larger portions of food higher in calories, like higher in saturated fat. [/quote]

Yes, of course, it’s all calories in/calories out. Of course an extra 50 calories of sautéed green beans is a factor, but so is everything else.

It’s just incredibly stupid to think you’ve found some brilliant life hack in the form of “stop eating 2 snickers bars a day!”

Anyone who has struggled with weight more than a few months already knows that. And they are most likely also fighting their body’s natural inclination toward calorie compensation. [/quote]

No, it is not all calories in/out. You appear stuck in the 90s, having ignored all the advances in endocrinology, obesity research and neuroscience of the last 25 years. I highly recommend re-educating yourself from the brainwashing you are parroting here, or at least just shutting up with the calories in/out mantra you are parroting.

Start here, and for the assertion you need to get over, you can skip ahead to 35:00. And don’t for one minute come back here and tell us you are more knowledgeable on human metabolism than Dr. Lustig and his colleagues working in the field. Don’t let the big science-y words scare you, I’m sure you are up to the task of expanding your women’s magazines understanding of the topics discussed here: https://youtu.be/dFOaBrujDHo

Robert Lustig is… not very good at science.  This critical review provided multiple examples of claims that are unclear, lacking context, or flat out false.

This person gets it.  Whereas Ms "I'm sure you're up to the task of expanding your women's magazine understanding" can f off.[/quote]
