When I see videos like this having 30-100k views after a while, and "get abs in 2 days / calories do not matter / fat = fit" having millions, I am sure that people don't want to solve any issues, they just want to have an excuse why they failed. Always trying weird diets and crying they dont have time for cardio, yet they drive 10 min walk to work every day and never bother counting calories. Thank you for your constant information and comedy stream on your channel kind sir :D
Yup. People want the good news, deliver me the gospel oh lord! Tell me I can eat unlimited food and still lose weight, it must be true... please lord? Sorry, no. Weigh yourself daily. Average weekly. If weekly average doesn't go down, you're not in a deficit. Physics cannot be cheated, ever, by anyone. You're either undercounting calories or overestimating exercise calories burned. Probably a combination for most people (though probably more on the undercounting calories).
Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet - just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less,” as it may result in having to go hungry forever. Sooner or later, many will likely give up and eat without restriction, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting.” While it should be possible to lose weight on any diet, some appear to make it easier and some to make it much harder. The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it may cause you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories,. overweight people tend to eat fewer calories on low carb. Thus, calories count, but you don’t need to count them.
@@d.bcooper2271ro, that was a lengthy ass way of saying any style of eating that appreciates satiety and depreciates hunger will allow people to lose weight because they become coincidentally more likely to be in a deficit. Uh, yea, that's correct, but calories still need to be monitored for those who still fucking overeat on low carb diets. Which, statistically, tend to be LESS satiating than higher carb diets.

Layne, as a nutritionist I love, love this video and totally agree with you. Watching Charlie struggle with losing weight - even with the best intentions was heart breaking, I am so glad to hear you setting folks straight about how to lose body fat.
I find it comforting that there is someone out there who gets as frustrated, or more so than I do when pop scientists/influencers/docs make nonsensical claims or talk out of their butt.
I've seen a number of fitness influencers promoting walking over other forms of cardio for fat loss, primarily because it's less impactful on your body, meaning you can do it for longer and more often. I think this would be especially important for overweight people.

Another example that data > than feelings. Thank you for continuing to educate us on nutrition in the ways that should have been done when we were in school.
YAAAS! Tell it like it is. Social media, sadly, has made me realize that there are too many people lacking the basic fundamental skills to think critically. Anyone can make up anything these days and get thousands of others to believe it in one social media post. WTF is going on! You have one hell of a battle on your hands. Don't stop though. Many of us are super thankful for the work you do. KEEP BRINGING IT! 👊 🙏
Well doc i,m not sure why people cannot see what is so obvious.......If your gaining weight your eating too much.[95 % of the time] It so nice to see a Dr on you tube who is so down to earth and practical..... no B.S...Thankyou....
I am so happy to have finally discovered someone willing to tell me the truth. I have been on a weight loss journey for the last ten years (actually, all my life), and had bought into the whole insulin resistance theory of obesity. This video made me think of Jason Fung's book, The Obesity Code, where he says "I can make you fat. All I have to do is give you insulin." The last few weeks, I have been on a restricted calorie diet (approx 2,100 cal/day), focusing on lots of lean protein, moderate amounts of carbs and fewer than 70 g of fat per day. I am losing about 1.5 lbs per week (started at 231 and am down to 224) and plan to continue this fat loss phase for a total of ten weeks, followed by a maintenance phase of around 15 weeks (which will get me through the holidays). Oh, and as I am losing weight, all of my blood markers are improving, especially blood glucose. What I have come to realize is that, unlike what the low carb gurus waant you to believe (insulin resistance is causing obesity), the opposite appears to be true (obesity causes insulin resistance).
My man, Doc Norton (PhD in nutritional sciences) you always correcting these fools on the internet especially social media. For that, and for spreading the TRUTH I have always appreciated your takes because I know and trust that you know better. Knowing that you have written books and show prepped many would be physique athletes including yourself. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep sharing your vids.
That’s why it’s important to watch how your body responds and adjust, rather than just trusting that whatever number an online calculator spat out is _the_ answer. If you believe you’re eating 2,000 and not losing, go to 1,800. If that doesn’t work, take it to 1,600. At some point the laws of physics say you will lose weight. Sure, it stinks when your hormones or your lifestyle mean you have to go lower than someone else, but that’s life. Good news is if you do it right it’s temporary work for lifelong benefits. If you can lose 0.8% of your bodyweight each week for 12 weeks, that’s almost a 10% reduction, enough to reap huge health improvements.
Statistically it's unlikely that everything you eat is 20% higher in calories the label says it is. That's like an upper margin of error, or maybe within 2 standard deviations of the mean (what the label says). Some food will be lower in calories than the label says.
@@rumble2468 That too. People hear that little tidbit and assume there’s some grand conspiracy to misreport Calories, like the FDA says, “Your test results said 100 Calories but you want to report it as 80? Cool with us.” The purpose of that rule is to allow for some variation between batches. When the FDA comes around and randomly samples some of your products to test, that item has to land within 20% of the stated value.
@@Magic_beans_ While I agree with you, I can imagine some companies could mess with the numbers to make people think they are eating less than they actually are and eat more of their product to make more profit.
Thank you for this . I gained weight training for a marathon. I thought doing all that running was a pass to eat and snack all day. I’m embarrassed I allowed this to happen but I now understand how it happened. More people need to watch this
It’s common to have severe water retention for some people when cardio is really high. But it’s just water unless of course you were severely overeating then it’s fat also
My A1C went from 9.2 to 5.1 after going from 230 lbs to 140 lbs. Losing weight pretty much means I don't have to take any drugs for my diabetes. I just need to keep the weight off.
It’s true…if it’s a perceived deficit I think I need 2500 cal a day. So if I eat 2200 a day I’ll lose weight. But in actual fact, you only need 2100 to maintain, and you are eating 100 cal extra a day…gaining 1lb a month or so on what you think is a diet. It’s an experiment. You reduce a bit…hold for a few weeks and see where it goes. Then adjust. A pound a week. That’s a reduction of 500 cal a day…3500cal in a pound of fat. That’s aggressive and probably unsustainable. Maybe go for 2lbs a month. Remember…you didn’t go to bed skinny and wake up overweight. You also won’t go to bed overweight and wake up skinny.
To be super charitable you probably can gain scale weight as water. But we obviously are talking about fat. And if you are gaining fat it's by definition not a deficit haha
Rick. Best way is to Get a fitness tracker. Don’t look at the numbers on it for actual calories, just get a daily, weekly and monthly trend. Once you have a base line and average number, you can tell what days you did more or less activity. If your activity is consistent, your eating consistently, and no weight is moving, you need to add activity or subtract food to lose weight. Or if you want to gain weight, you need to add food. It could be as easy as walking a couple miles a day, and not having that handful of nuts….or using half a table spoon of oil to cook instead of the full one. Until it’s habit, you need to track everything right down to the gram. As you get better with judging portions and closer to your goal, you can start slacking on the tracking bit…but you still have to stay disciplined on portioning. You don’t just start glugging oil in the frying pan. You will know what a tablespoon full looks like in the pan. Then you carefully watch your weight, do spot checks on a food tracker now and then. Guess the weight of things, and weigh them out to check…it’s slow going….but it’s doable. Slowly add in extra activity…I’m talking small walks, chop a few logs, take the stairs. Walk up and down the stairs a few times a day on purpose. Anything extraneous to your usual day activity will add to your deficit. It’s called NEAT, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenisis. It’s what you do as a matter of course every day outside the gym.
Three common problems: 1) People assume eating clean food means that calories don't matter. 2) People don't weigh their food and guesstimate both portion sizes and calorie intake. 3) People don't know what their actual maintenance is. They use online formulas and activity estimates to come up with a hypothetical. But they never weigh themselves day to day to track the scale trend in relation to their calories.
Awesome video Layne. I had some insulin resistance going on and I could still lose weight. One thing I will say though is that during that time, it was a lot more uncomfortable to lose. My stress responses were very high. I had someone recommend to me that dealing with the IR with some intermittent fasting (without changing calories) and loading food around workouts could make me a lot more comfortable. It really worked for me. Didn't change the results I was getting at all but I was a lot less hangry and volatile. I think my blood sugar was more stable. I'm with you on this guy though - he's just lying to himself IMO or not being honest with what he's consuming.
Seeing the guy at the beginning who went "Charlie eats so clean!" reminds me of the time that a morbidly obese woman was on Dr. Phil, and her sister said "she eats better than I do!" and then Dr. Phil rattled off the 10,000 calories that the obese woman ate for breakfast. Just because someone eats well when they're in front of others doesn't mean they don't binge eat alone.
you can eat 4000 junk food calories or 2000 vegetables & 2000 meat calories, you may not have vitamin deficits, however your body will still store fat just the same as you are consuming more calories then you are burning off.

What’s really funny is that insulin is an anabolic hormone with effects on lipogenesis, muscle growth, and glycogenesis and glucose uptake. Not sure why people think that carbs are the big bad enemy lol. Leptin stores are definitely correlated to obesity. Tbf GLP-1 agonists work primarily through the appetite suppressant aspect as GLP1 itself is released upon consumption of food, not so much due to the fact that it raises insulin dependent on glucose levels. But yes the insulin fear is dumb
What's also funny is that this "doctor" says that insulin blocks fat from being utilized, it will down regulate fat oxidation but will not eliminate it completely, which is basic physiology, and something that this "doctor" should have learned in their undergrad.
Charlie is an amazing individual and is doing some awesome things for people in need with his dream machine foundation. He’s an awesome inspirational follow on Instagram. But yeah I cringed when I saw his video on gaining weight in a deficit. I think it’s easier to believe the excuses especially when so called experts are telling you it isn’t your fault. You should reach out to him Layne! Would be a great collab with a great guy!

it is possible to gain a little weight on a mild deficit - Menno Henselmans has an article about it. but this is generally a small amount and is an increase in lean mass from lifting/protein/recomp. obv not the case with this IG dude… he’s clearly not tracking properly.
This vid reminds me of a British TV Show called "Secret Eaters". Participants would self report and track with a food diary and go on about the rest of their lives; the hosts of the show would then install cameras in their homes to monitor them. But, the catch was the show would also hire PI's to follow them around and document evidence of any 'secret eating'. Some participants would estimate eating less than 2000 Kcal, but actual consumption would be often times be 4000+. Definitely worth checking out.
Layne’s right. I started Ozempic which is in the GLP-1 family and I lost weight … because I had zero appetite after the injection and that caused me to reduce my overall caloric intake.
@@johnkowalsky1988 Yes, I’d get nausea the first few days after I’d inject myself and my heart would race throughout the week. I stayed on it for 7 weeks before I was advised by my endocrinologist to stop taking the injections. I lost a total of 20 lbs and even though I’ve stopped the injections about 6 weeks ago I have not regained the weight, but I have noticed my appetite is finally back. I’ve just download the Carbon app to help me stay in a deficit. I am hoping to keep that weight off.

Type 2 diabetic on semaglutide with a CGM. Before ozempic, high fasting insulin, constant high bg. After Oz, beautiful mealtime insulin spikes. 60 lbs down.
I'm down to 12 percent body fat eating 1200cals a day, I eat the same thing every day, I put on 1kg over the last 2 days, it IS possible to gain weight on a calorie deficit, I am doing it, my BMR has probably gone to shit due to low caloric intake.
Reminds of the show " My 600 lb life". These people claim the eating a little bit of nothing and they're not losing/gaining weight. Then the Dr puts em in the hospital under a supervised diet of 1200 calories a day and they lose 100 lbs a month. Imagine that.
All obese people can lose weight even on a cupcake diet. Honestly didn't believe it but did a study of 30 obese prisoners. All they received was water, Vit / mineral supplements, and high carb / sugar cupcake. Very low total daily calories of est. 900 Kcal. They all lost weight, improved health makers in the beginning. Short term it works regardless. No not best for long term health because there was no protein in the diet. Anyone can lose weight. However that said, it should be noted that health, wellness and weight loss needs to be done responsible.
One of the best lines I’ve ever heard “the primary role of insulin is to block the use of any other energy source”. Probably thinks the primary role of sleep is to close your eyes
Simply stated, people track inaccurately. Trackers and calculators are not the final say. They give you a starting point. You then have to look to see if you’re losing, gaining, or maintaining and make the appropriate adjustments.
Recently read a study about obese and normal body types estimating intake vs burn.. study found that both classes were quite bad at accurately estimating caloric intake. Obese class was worse but not by an enormous margin. Inaccurate measurement is a human thing likely due to emotions being associated with food and body weight
It also just takes a lot of experience, I've tracked my food for ages and estimating my intake is definitely a skill I've honed over the years. Expenditure I'm even worse at, I've had my watch for nearly two years, all I know if it registers 1000kcal+ AND I'm feeling hungry, I probably should eat, otherwise I can generally ignore it.
Great content calling out the BS as always pod Job. Why do people find it so hard to understand that an energy deficit is required for the body to tap into its own mass for energy. You can fast as long as you want you can eat keto etc you only drop mass in a net calorie deficit. Also Spud fit is a guy from Australia who lost tons of weight eating potatoes only for a year. If insulin stops fat loss he would not have been able to shed the pounds.
A few years ago I lost 6 kgs and 4 inches from my hips in 8 weeks eating 1200 calories a day . Most of what I was eating was carbs. I also had a chocolate bar every day. My exercise was daily walking for about 30 minutes. I'm in my 40's and the weight dropped so easily.
At 1200 calories you were almost certainly in a pretty significant deficit. Mostly carbs and no resistance training tells me most of that 6kg was likely muscle and a small amount of fat.
@@BenGoodbrand I doubt "most of that weight was muscle" he did probably burn off a higher percentage of muscle to fat compared to someone weight training and consuming protein but not a majority of the weight from muscle. You think he had 4 inchs in ab muscles he lost around his waist? No.
@@BenGoodbrand First up, I'm a woman. When I put on weight it stores in my hips, thighs and butt. I weighed 64 kgs and dropped to 58 kgs. I had 42 inch hips and dropped to 38 inches and dropped a complete pant size. I definitely lost fat, but also would have lost some muscle. My comment was related to the person in the video saying you can't lose weight in a calorie deficit, when you definitely can.
I thought it was possible to gain weight in a calorie deficit but it would have to be very small deficit. Due to the relative energy density of muscle vs fat tissue, in a very small deficit you could re-comp in a way that actually causes small weight gain
I've also realised wth a lot of people tracking, they don't track breverages like juice or sodas which obviously contain a lot of calories. That and the weekend binging are the two most prominent reason I think people under report.
I read a synopsis of a study clinical control trial that showed obese people (while being monitored) where asked to keep a food diary, what was found id that they were underestimating there caloric intake by over 100%.
I'm not going to argue because well what do I know but this is so frustrating to me because I track everything. I am very meticulous about weighing everything all my food literally everything I put in my body and I'm most definitely in a deficit. I lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks (my goal is to lose slowly so no it's not a huge deficit because I only want to lose 1lb a week give or take) those 10 lbs were easy peasy now I'm eating even less calories AND incorporating some exercise and every time I weigh myself it goes up a little bit more. Like a few oz.. you say it's not possible so why is it happening to me. :(
okay well what about when you're actually correctly tracking your macros ...are actually in a large calorie deficit but your weight loss is SUPER slow. i found that my fatloss was the same whether i was in a 500+ calorie deficit or a 200 calorie deficit. It doesn't make any sense to me, if i am doing 2 hours of cardio daily, and i'm in a calorie defecit of 500+ i should be losing at LEAST a pound a week and i find that is just not the case at all.
You can't gain fat in deficit, but you can definitely gain some weight. I've been counting everything. Even the butter I use on a sandwich. I weigh everything, I estimate nothing. Overestimate the amounts, always. Underestimate calorie burn during exercise. I was in a 750 calorie deficit daily, for weeks. Initially I lost weight 2,5kg exactly. Last week I've gained 3kg of weight.
I'm just here visiting... But I'd LOVE to see a video with this guy and Jason Fung. I'm a HUGE fan of the low carb and insulin science. I've watched several Layne's video's and I just can't agree. I've tried losing weight for 25 years the "right way" calories in vs calories out and have NEVER had any luck. I lost weight once with literally starving myself and I was the most unhealthiest I've been been in my whole life. But gained that weight right back super fast. I've legitimately tracked my calories, not making any mistakes and never lost. Then I go low carb, watch my glucose spikes and intermittent fast and all of a sudden my weight falls off for the first time in 25 years? I'm a 100000% believer in low carb, intermittent fasting and watching glucose. I was very insulin resistant. Peter Atria, Jason Fung are two amazing Drs who know their shit, IMO.
@@octavianandron9635 Fung is a real MD, a kidney specialist. You're thinking about Dr. Berg, a chiropractor. They don't go through medical school and can't even prescribe medication.
I wanted to show that Discrepancy Study for Calorie Intake to my (obese) mom, sadly it is not that good of a study with only 9 people in Group 1 and 80 in group 2, where did the other >100 subjects of the 224 people go?
I have a hard time believing the watches are that inaccurate. Mine never seems to be off by more than 10% when compared to the scale. And this could've been due to me underestimating calories. I suppose it's possible I over-estimate calories (I know people underestimate, so I might be over-correcting)
I've been in a calorie deficit and gained weight.. I don't know why. I don't think it's added fat, but the scale is definitely going up when my calorie count says it should be doing otherwise.
I wish I understood the following phenomena : I track everything, eat the same foods and train, when I'm cutting. (To be frank I do that all the time). I weigh myself every morning on an empty stomach and bladder. Usually it takes 2 weeks to see the changes on the scale as if there was a lag. I also control sodium and water intake. Wtf is going on do you think?
I have not seen a single randomized controlled trial on fat loss where the intake of the participants was strictly controlled and the participants did not lose weight. Even in extreme cases like hypothyroidism. It's insane how people will continually make this claim over and over despite just mountains and mountains of evidence that you CANNOT gain weight in a deficit assuming you're tracking for more than a week or two. Take any six week period and feed obese people a strict 1200 kcal diet, they will lose weight, and a lot of it.
Do you think some people who are hypothyroid have a very low basal metabolic rate and think they are in a deficit when they are still eating too much for them?
I hear this a lot. It’s an excuse. Pay close attention to the individual’s lifestyle and eating habits. For example, I know a gal who constantly blames her hypothyroidism as to why she can’t lose body fat. It’s all BS. She constantly grazes on ultra processed foods and doesn’t have a clue how much caloric intake she consuming (which is well into a surplus everyday). Then when she gains massive amounts of fat, she blames the carbohydrates. It’s the same horse shit I hear all the time as a health coach. People that are obese and hold more body fat than the acceptable percentages will ALWAYS have a lower BMR. Period
@@mtnmike76 exactly. I take these same people, lock them in a rehabilitation center as a controlled intervention at the request of their family and like magic they lose weight : )
what about the kahm clinic showing that people's metabolisms drop drastically from dieting so that it's unrealistic to keep lowering calories? at some point people hit a wall.
Do hard liquor calories get converted to fat? I've read they don't. Wood chips have calories too, but the body has no way of processing it.. I could be wrong.
Semaglutide sounds very promising after first hearing about it from MPMD, too bad it's pretty expensive. But definitely sounds like worth the money for obese people.
When I see videos like this having 30-100k views after a while, and "get abs in 2 days / calories do not matter / fat = fit" having millions, I am sure that people don't want to solve any issues, they just want to have an excuse why they failed. Always trying weird diets and crying they dont have time for cardio, yet they drive 10 min walk to work every day and never bother counting calories.

Weigh yourself daily. Average weekly. If weekly average doesn't go down, you're not in a deficit. Physics cannot be cheated, ever, by anyone. You're either undercounting calories or overestimating exercise calories burned. Probably a combination for most people (though probably more on the undercounting calories).

Layne, as a nutritionist I love, love this video and totally agree with you. Watching Charlie struggle with losing weight - even with the best intentions was heart breaking, I am so glad to hear you setting folks straight about how to lose body fat.
I find it comforting that there is someone out there who gets as frustrated, or more so than I do when pop scientists/influencers/docs make nonsensical claims or talk out of their butt.
I've seen a number of fitness influencers promoting walking over other forms of cardio for fat loss, primarily because it's less impactful on your body, meaning you can do it for longer and more often. I think this would be especially important for overweight people.

You're the best. Thanks for helping me dump the keto religion and live a sane life.
Another example that data > than feelings. Thank you for continuing to educate us on nutrition in the ways that should have been done when we were in school.
YAAAS! Tell it like it is. Social media, sadly, has made me realize that there are too many people lacking the basic fundamental skills to think critically. Anyone can make up anything these days and get thousands of others to believe it in one social media post. WTF is going on! You have one hell of a battle on your hands. Don't stop though. Many of us are super thankful for the work you do. KEEP BRINGING IT! 👊 🙏
I’m no expert, just a physician, and this is spot on. We need to grow up and embrace reality
"That video just set nutritional science back about 50 years" lol 😄
Well doc i,m not sure why people cannot see what is so obvious.......If your gaining weight your eating too much.[95 % of the time]
It so nice to see a Dr on you tube who is so down to earth and practical..... no B.S...Thankyou....
I am so happy to have finally discovered someone willing to tell me the truth. I have been on a weight loss journey for the last ten years (actually, all my life), and had bought into the whole insulin resistance theory of obesity. This video made me think of Jason Fung's book, The Obesity Code, where he says "I can make you fat. All I have to do is give you insulin." The last few weeks, I have been on a restricted calorie diet (approx 2,100 cal/day), focusing on lots of lean protein, moderate amounts of carbs and fewer than 70 g of fat per day. I am losing about 1.5 lbs per week (started at 231 and am down to 224) and plan to continue this fat loss phase for a total of ten weeks, followed by a maintenance phase of around 15 weeks (which will get me through the holidays). Oh, and as I am losing weight, all of my blood markers are improving, especially blood glucose. What I have come to realize is that, unlike what the low carb gurus waant you to believe (insulin resistance is causing obesity), the opposite appears to be true (obesity causes insulin resistance).
My man, Doc Norton (PhD in nutritional sciences) you always correcting these fools on the internet especially social media. For that, and for spreading the TRUTH I have always appreciated your takes because I know and trust that you know better. Knowing that you have written books and show prepped many would be physique athletes including yourself. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep sharing your vids.
The higher tempo of video releases this past couple years, they just get better and better.
Also, food label calories are allowed by law to be off by 20%. So 2,000 calories could actually be 2,400. That’s unintentional bulking.
That’s why it’s important to watch how your body responds and adjust, rather than just trusting that whatever number an online calculator spat out is _the_ answer. If you believe you’re eating 2,000 and not losing, go to 1,800. If that doesn’t work, take it to 1,600. At some point the laws of physics say you will lose weight. Sure, it stinks when your hormones or your lifestyle mean you have to go lower than someone else, but that’s life.
Good news is if you do it right it’s temporary work for lifelong benefits. If you can lose 0.8% of your bodyweight each week for 12 weeks, that’s almost a 10% reduction, enough to reap huge health improvements.
Statistically it's unlikely that everything you eat is 20% higher in calories the label says it is. That's like an upper margin of error, or maybe within 2 standard deviations of the mean (what the label says). Some food will be lower in calories than the label says.
@@rumble2468 That too. People hear that little tidbit and assume there’s some grand conspiracy to misreport Calories, like the FDA says, “Your test results said 100 Calories but you want to report it as 80? Cool with us.”
The purpose of that rule is to allow for some variation between batches. When the FDA comes around and randomly samples some of your products to test, that item has to land within 20% of the stated value.
@@Magic_beans_ While I agree with you, I can imagine some companies could mess with the numbers to make people think they are eating less than they actually are and eat more of their product to make more profit.
This is my favourite video of the week - every week! Great work Layne
Thank you for setting this straight to many people fall for bad information out there.
This is pure gold....
Thank you for this . I gained weight training for a marathon. I thought doing all that running was a pass to eat and snack all day. I’m embarrassed I allowed this to happen but I now understand how it happened. More people need to watch this
It’s common to have severe water retention for some people when cardio is really high. But it’s just water unless of course you were severely overeating then it’s fat also
wow you have to talk about that rice fat loss study in GREAT DETAIL! That is the BOMB!
I can't agree more ❤️ I'm blessed to hear such a great science based video
Very well informed. Subscribed.
Helping this man who helps so many would bless the world. Invaluable input - it’s recently made me gasp at the nonsense his become gripped with
My A1C went from 9.2 to 5.1 after going from 230 lbs to 140 lbs. Losing weight pretty much means I don't have to take any drugs for my diabetes. I just need to keep the weight off.
That’s most people
Good job dude that’s impressive. Good luck!
Congrats, keep it up! One more example that shows the impact on our health
That's awesome. Congratulations!
@@rmmm6725 Not everybody. A lot of people with normal BMIs develop T2 diabetes, particularly those of South Asian descent. But they're "skinny fat".
I gain weight in a deficit too (shoves 3,000 calories worth of untracked peanut butter in my mouth 10 min before bed)
Man I feel your pain, I once bought a 5kg tub of PB so I could have a teaspoon with my breakfast everyday.
Ate the whole thing in one go!
Thanks for this! People have been telling me I can gain weight on a calorie deficit 😒
It’s true…if it’s a perceived deficit
I think I need 2500 cal a day. So if I eat 2200 a day I’ll lose weight. But in actual fact, you only need 2100 to maintain, and you are eating 100 cal extra a day…gaining 1lb a month or so on what you think is a diet.
It’s an experiment. You reduce a bit…hold for a few weeks and see where it goes. Then adjust. A pound a week. That’s a reduction of 500 cal a day…3500cal in a pound of fat. That’s aggressive and probably unsustainable. Maybe go for 2lbs a month.
Remember…you didn’t go to bed skinny and wake up overweight. You also won’t go to bed overweight and wake up skinny.
To be super charitable you probably can gain scale weight as water. But we obviously are talking about fat. And if you are gaining fat it's by definition not a deficit haha
Rick. Best way is to Get a fitness tracker. Don’t look at the numbers on it for actual calories, just get a daily, weekly and monthly trend. Once you have a base line and average number, you can tell what days you did more or less activity.
If your activity is consistent, your eating consistently, and no weight is moving, you need to add activity or subtract food to lose weight. Or if you want to gain weight, you need to add food.
It could be as easy as walking a couple miles a day, and not having that handful of nuts….or using half a table spoon of oil to cook instead of the full one.
Until it’s habit, you need to track everything right down to the gram. As you get better with judging portions and closer to your goal, you can start slacking on the tracking bit…but you still have to stay disciplined on portioning. You don’t just start glugging oil in the frying pan. You will know what a tablespoon full looks like in the pan. Then you carefully watch your weight, do spot checks on a food tracker now and then. Guess the weight of things, and weigh them out to check…it’s slow going….but it’s doable.
Slowly add in extra activity…I’m talking small walks, chop a few logs, take the stairs. Walk up and down the stairs a few times a day on purpose. Anything extraneous to your usual day activity will add to your deficit. It’s called NEAT, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenisis. It’s what you do as a matter of course every day outside the gym.
You solved world hunger.
It is like saying you can create free electricity. If that happens, call me, please.
Three common problems:
1) People assume eating clean food means that calories don't matter.
2) People don't weigh their food and guesstimate both portion sizes and calorie intake.
3) People don't know what their actual maintenance is. They use online formulas and activity estimates to come up with a hypothetical. But they never weigh themselves day to day to track the scale trend in relation to their calories.
Love Charlie! But so glad you two have now connected And that you are going to help him.
Awesome video Layne. I had some insulin resistance going on and I could still lose weight. One thing I will say though is that during that time, it was a lot more uncomfortable to lose. My stress responses were very high. I had someone recommend to me that dealing with the IR with some intermittent fasting (without changing calories) and loading food around workouts could make me a lot more comfortable. It really worked for me. Didn't change the results I was getting at all but I was a lot less hangry and volatile. I think my blood sugar was more stable. I'm with you on this guy though - he's just lying to himself IMO or not being honest with what he's consuming.
Seeing the guy at the beginning who went "Charlie eats so clean!" reminds me of the time that a morbidly obese woman was on Dr. Phil, and her sister said "she eats better than I do!" and then Dr. Phil rattled off the 10,000 calories that the obese woman ate for breakfast. Just because someone eats well when they're in front of others doesn't mean they don't binge eat alone.
you can eat 4000 junk food calories or 2000 vegetables & 2000 meat calories, you may not have vitamin deficits, however your body will still store fat just the same as you are consuming more calories then you are burning off.
This is true. I always think of Ginny Sack from the Sopranos. In the basement with a box of candy bars after her husband leaves.

Rule of energy conservation. Energy is not created or destroyed. It only changes form
Damn later in the video you mentioned rules of thermodynamics
What’s really funny is that insulin is an anabolic hormone with effects on lipogenesis, muscle growth, and glycogenesis and glucose uptake. Not sure why people think that carbs are the big bad enemy lol.
Leptin stores are definitely correlated to obesity. Tbf GLP-1 agonists work primarily through the appetite suppressant aspect as GLP1 itself is released upon consumption of food, not so much due to the fact that it raises insulin dependent on glucose levels. But yes the insulin fear is dumb
What's also funny is that this "doctor" says that insulin blocks fat from being utilized, it will down regulate fat oxidation but will not eliminate it completely, which is basic physiology, and something that this "doctor" should have learned in their undergrad.
Guy got told exactly what he wanted to hear by a “doctor” and it just verified his bad habits.
Dropping too many 💎💎💎💎 in this one!!! Thanks again Layne.
"That was a lot of bullshit in a short amount of time" hilarious XD
Charlie is an amazing individual and is doing some awesome things for people in need with his dream machine foundation. He’s an awesome inspirational follow on Instagram. But yeah I cringed when I saw his video on gaining weight in a deficit. I think it’s easier to believe the excuses especially when so called experts are telling you it isn’t your fault. You should reach out to him Layne! Would be a great collab with a great guy!
I was going to suggest the same thing. It would actually be cool to see Layne connect w/ Charlie & teach him a thing or two.

Love it! So much good info packed into one video. One of my favorites to date! Keep it up Layne! Dropping knowledge bombs! 👍🏼💪🏼
it is possible to gain a little weight on a mild deficit - Menno Henselmans has an article about it. but this is generally a small amount and is an increase in lean mass from lifting/protein/recomp. obv not the case with this IG dude… he’s clearly not tracking properly.
This vid reminds me of a British TV Show called "Secret Eaters". Participants would self report and track with a food diary and go on about the rest of their lives; the hosts of the show would then install cameras in their homes to monitor them. But, the catch was the show would also hire PI's to follow them around and document evidence of any 'secret eating'. Some participants would estimate eating less than 2000 Kcal, but actual consumption would be often times be 4000+. Definitely worth checking out.
Layne’s right. I started Ozempic which is in the GLP-1 family and I lost weight … because I had zero appetite after the injection and that caused me to reduce my overall caloric intake.
Thats great. Are there any side effects?
@@johnkowalsky1988 Yes, I’d get nausea the first few days after I’d inject myself and my heart would race throughout the week. I stayed on it for 7 weeks before I was advised by my endocrinologist to stop taking the injections. I lost a total of 20 lbs and even though I’ve stopped the injections about 6 weeks ago I have not regained the weight, but I have noticed my appetite is finally back. I’ve just download the Carbon app to help me stay in a deficit. I am hoping to keep that weight off.

Easy to understand, backed by linked data, and funny. Thank you.
I freaking love you bro!!! Good shit!!!
Type 2 diabetic on semaglutide with a CGM. Before ozempic, high fasting insulin, constant high bg. After Oz, beautiful mealtime insulin spikes. 60 lbs down.
Love the channel and the content!
How the fuck are we still arguing about calories-in vs. calories-out in 2022!? Bullshit. I see bullshit everywhere. I feel for you, Layne.
I'm down to 12 percent body fat eating 1200cals a day, I eat the same thing every day, I put on 1kg over the last 2 days, it IS possible to gain weight on a calorie deficit, I am doing it, my BMR has probably gone to shit due to low caloric intake.
Reminds of the show " My 600 lb life". These people claim the eating a little bit of nothing and they're not losing/gaining weight. Then the Dr puts em in the hospital under a supervised diet of 1200 calories a day and they lose 100 lbs a month. Imagine that.
Daymn youre so good man in explaining this
All obese people can lose weight even on a cupcake diet. Honestly didn't believe it but did a study of 30 obese prisoners. All they received was water, Vit / mineral supplements, and high carb / sugar cupcake. Very low total daily calories of est. 900 Kcal. They all lost weight, improved health makers in the beginning. Short term it works regardless. No not best for long term health because there was no protein in the diet. Anyone can lose weight. However that said, it should be noted that health, wellness and weight loss needs to be done responsible.
One of the best lines I’ve ever heard “the primary role of insulin is to block the use of any other energy source”. Probably thinks the primary role of sleep is to close your eyes
Simply stated, people track inaccurately.
Trackers and calculators are not the final say. They give you a starting point. You then have to look to see if you’re losing, gaining, or maintaining and make the appropriate adjustments.
Damn you went hard on this one! loved it ✊😎
Those poor people in the study on the rice and sugar diet 😣
Yeah, not healthy nor filling/satiating at all.
Ah science. It wins again. Also, are you a fashion influencer now, because I love that sweater!
Recently read a study about obese and normal body types estimating intake vs burn.. study found that both classes were quite bad at accurately estimating caloric intake. Obese class was worse but not by an enormous margin. Inaccurate measurement is a human thing likely due to emotions being associated with food and body weight
It also just takes a lot of experience, I've tracked my food for ages and estimating my intake is definitely a skill I've honed over the years. Expenditure I'm even worse at, I've had my watch for nearly two years, all I know if it registers 1000kcal+ AND I'm feeling hungry, I probably should eat, otherwise I can generally ignore it.
Thanks Layne for keeping science communication honest and accurate. Love these vids.
Always on point coach!!! 💪🙌
Awsome video Layne💪👊🥩
I like your hoodie. Where did you get it?
Great content calling out the BS as always pod Job. Why do people find it so hard to understand that an energy deficit is required for the body to tap into its own mass for energy. You can fast as long as you want you can eat keto etc you only drop mass in a net calorie deficit. Also Spud fit is a guy from Australia who lost tons of weight eating potatoes only for a year. If insulin stops fat loss he would not have been able to shed the pounds.
A few years ago I lost 6 kgs and 4 inches from my hips in 8 weeks eating 1200 calories a day . Most of what I was eating was carbs. I also had a chocolate bar every day. My exercise was daily walking for about 30 minutes. I'm in my 40's and the weight dropped so easily.
At 1200 calories you were almost certainly in a pretty significant deficit. Mostly carbs and no resistance training tells me most of that 6kg was likely muscle and a small amount of fat.
@@BenGoodbrand I doubt "most of that weight was muscle" he did probably burn off a higher percentage of muscle to fat compared to someone weight training and consuming protein but not a majority of the weight from muscle. You think he had 4 inchs in ab muscles he lost around his waist? No.
@@nikmo7360 3kg of muscle would have been easy to lose in his scenario.
@@BenGoodbrand First up, I'm a woman. When I put on weight it stores in my hips, thighs and butt. I weighed 64 kgs and dropped to 58 kgs. I had 42 inch hips and dropped to 38 inches and dropped a complete pant size. I definitely lost fat, but also would have lost some muscle. My comment was related to the person in the video saying you can't lose weight in a calorie deficit, when you definitely can.
@@amandajane28 I know you're a woman. The name gives it away.
Great informative video!
I thought it was possible to gain weight in a calorie deficit but it would have to be very small deficit. Due to the relative energy density of muscle vs fat tissue, in a very small deficit you could re-comp in a way that actually causes small weight gain
Anyone know what the sweater is Layne wears in these videos?
I've also realised wth a lot of people tracking, they don't track breverages like juice or sodas which obviously contain a lot of calories. That and the weekend binging are the two most prominent reason I think people under report.
People also make mistakes in tracking by not noticing the difference between cooked and raw meat. With fattier meats that can make huge difference.
I just love your humour in every video
😂😂😂😂
I read a synopsis of a study clinical control trial that showed obese people (while being monitored) where asked to keep a food diary, what was found id that they were underestimating there caloric intake by over 100%.
This is a GREAT VIDEO!!! New Sub🥰
I'm not going to argue because well what do I know but this is so frustrating to me because I track everything. I am very meticulous about weighing everything all my food literally everything I put in my body and I'm most definitely in a deficit. I lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks (my goal is to lose slowly so no it's not a huge deficit because I only want to lose 1lb a week give or take) those 10 lbs were easy peasy now I'm eating even less calories AND incorporating some exercise and every time I weigh myself it goes up a little bit more. Like a few oz.. you say it's not possible so why is it happening to me. :(
Be patient, don’t put too much stock in daily weight fluctuations
okay well what about when you're actually correctly tracking your macros ...are actually in a large calorie deficit but your weight loss is SUPER slow. i found that my fatloss was the same whether i was in a 500+ calorie deficit or a 200 calorie deficit. It doesn't make any sense to me, if i am doing 2 hours of cardio daily, and i'm in a calorie defecit of 500+ i should be losing at LEAST a pound a week and i find that is just not the case at all.
You can't gain fat in deficit, but you can definitely gain some weight.
I've been counting everything. Even the butter I use on a sandwich. I weigh everything, I estimate nothing. Overestimate the amounts, always.
Underestimate calorie burn during exercise. I was in a 750 calorie deficit daily, for weeks.
Initially I lost weight 2,5kg exactly.
Last week I've gained 3kg of weight.
Great information 👍
I'm just here visiting... But I'd LOVE to see a video with this guy and Jason Fung. I'm a HUGE fan of the low carb and insulin science. I've watched several Layne's video's and I just can't agree. I've tried losing weight for 25 years the "right way" calories in vs calories out and have NEVER had any luck. I lost weight once with literally starving myself and I was the most unhealthiest I've been been in my whole life. But gained that weight right back super fast. I've legitimately tracked my calories, not making any mistakes and never lost. Then I go low carb, watch my glucose spikes and intermittent fast and all of a sudden my weight falls off for the first time in 25 years? I'm a 100000% believer in low carb, intermittent fasting and watching glucose. I was very insulin resistant. Peter Atria, Jason Fung are two amazing Drs who know their shit, IMO.
Fung is one of the greatest harlatans ever. Btw he is not a real doctor either.
@@octavianandron9635 Fung is a real MD, a kidney specialist. You're thinking about Dr. Berg, a chiropractor. They don't go through medical school and can't even prescribe medication.
Imagine not having to pay for food because you no longer needs to eat, and not dying from it.

I wanted to show that Discrepancy Study for Calorie Intake to my (obese) mom, sadly it is not that good of a study with only 9 people in Group 1 and 80 in group 2, where did the other >100 subjects of the 224 people go?
3:09 2000 calories is still pretty low and would get most people down to about 120 to 130 pounds
Bro that hoodie is awesome
I have a hard time believing the watches are that inaccurate. Mine never seems to be off by more than 10% when compared to the scale. And this could've been due to me underestimating calories. I suppose it's possible I over-estimate calories (I know people underestimate, so I might be over-correcting)
I've been in a calorie deficit and gained weight.. I don't know why. I don't think it's added fat, but the scale is definitely going up when my calorie count says it should be doing otherwise.
I wish I understood the following phenomena :
I track everything, eat the same foods and train, when I'm cutting. (To be frank I do that all the time). I weigh myself every morning on an empty stomach and bladder. Usually it takes 2 weeks to see the changes on the scale as if there was a lag. I also control sodium and water intake. Wtf is going on do you think?
I have not seen a single randomized controlled trial on fat loss where the intake of the participants was strictly controlled and the participants did not lose weight. Even in extreme cases like hypothyroidism. It's insane how people will continually make this claim over and over despite just mountains and mountains of evidence that you CANNOT gain weight in a deficit assuming you're tracking for more than a week or two. Take any six week period and feed obese people a strict 1200 kcal diet, they will lose weight, and a lot of it.
7 cal/g for alcohol. Love it! Lol.. last time I heard that stated was sophomore year undergrad! 😂😂😂
Why are all the macros on the carbon app differ t from my fitness pal? Also how do I track the sprint diet model on the app?
Do you think some people who are hypothyroid have a very low basal metabolic rate and think they are in a deficit when they are still eating too much for them?
Right. Plus they might not be resistance training or exercising or eating correctly. It is all about food and movement.
I hear this a lot. It’s an excuse. Pay close attention to the individual’s lifestyle and eating habits. For example, I know a gal who constantly blames her hypothyroidism as to why she can’t lose body fat. It’s all BS. She constantly grazes on ultra processed foods and doesn’t have a clue how much caloric intake she consuming (which is well into a surplus everyday). Then when she gains massive amounts of fat, she blames the carbohydrates. It’s the same horse shit I hear all the time as a health coach. People that are obese and hold more body fat than the acceptable percentages will ALWAYS have a lower BMR. Period
@@mtnmike76 exactly. I take these same people, lock them in a rehabilitation center as a controlled intervention at the request of their family and like magic they lose weight : )
Unexpected weight loss is one of the first signs of untreated diabetes
“So that’s a lot of bullshit in a short period of time” 😂😂
Layne, could you make a video regarding thyroids effect on dieting? Do people with hypothyroidism lose weight better on keto diets?
You and Greg Doucette are absolutely awesome.
Oil is a big one - the amount of people that seem to think olive does not contain calories 😅
Yeah!!! Tell it like it is BioLayne!
what about the kahm clinic showing that people's metabolisms drop drastically from dieting so that it's unrealistic to keep lowering calories? at some point people hit a wall.
Do hard liquor calories get converted to fat? I've read they don't. Wood chips have calories too, but the body has no way of processing it.. I could be wrong.
Semaglutide sounds very promising after first hearing about it from MPMD, too bad it's pretty expensive. But definitely sounds like worth the money for obese people.
What about whilst on carnivore, you exercise fasted and burn fat and then build muscle with the protein you eat?
