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
Golden !
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.bcooper2271studies showed people ate less on a higher carb diet sooooo
@@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.
I appreciate the passion in dismissing this nonsense. People who genuinely want to be better are often lost on what to do.

I gained 8.8 pounds this morning while being in a calorie deficit but then I lost some of it after peeing out some of those 4 liters.
lmaooo
My weight always fluctuates at least 2 pounds before and after peeing 😭

As a type 1 diabetic, thank you for addressing insulin and weight gain. It is so sad to see other diabetics fear insulin due to the false belief of weight gain.
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.

"That video just set nutritional science back about 50 years" lol 😄
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.
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.
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!
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).
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
Yup and apparently you can start losing weight in a surplus because obviously you stopped losing weight because uR nOT eaTiNg eNuFF!!
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.
I can't agree more ❤️ I'm blessed to hear such a great science based video
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.
I’m no expert, just a physician, and this is spot on. We need to grow up and embrace reality
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.
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.
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.
Who says he isn't already brainwashed? In case he isn't, let him contact Layne, not the other way around.

Rule of energy conservation. Energy is not created or destroyed. It only changes form
Damn later in the video you mentioned rules of thermodynamics
This is my favourite video of the week - every week! Great work Layne
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....
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".
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.
Those poor people in the study on the rice and sugar diet 😣
Yeah, not healthy nor filling/satiating at all.
This is pure gold....
wow you have to talk about that rice fat loss study in GREAT DETAIL! That is the BOMB!
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
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.
"That was a lot of bullshit in a short amount of time" hilarious XD
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.
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.
Love Charlie! But so glad you two have now connected And that you are going to help him.
Dropping too many 💎💎💎💎 in this one!!! Thanks again Layne.
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.
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.

Love it! So much good info packed into one video. One of my favorites to date! Keep it up Layne! Dropping knowledge bombs! 👍🏼💪🏼
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.

Many of us are super thankful for the work you do. KEEP BRINGING IT! 👊 🙏
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.
Easy to understand, backed by linked data, and funny. Thank you.
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.
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
Thanks Layne for keeping science communication honest and accurate. Love these vids.
Always enjoy your no-nonsense approach. It's amazing how much differing information and misinformation is out there - even from renowned published doctors, that it's all about insulin insulin insulin for addressing obesity.

@Flat Earth Truther Wow, now everything makes sense.
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.

The Pavarotti bit was inspired
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.

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.
Love the channel and the content!
Damn you went hard on this one! loved it ✊😎
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.
Yeah!!! Tell it like it is BioLayne!
You and Greg Doucette are absolutely awesome.
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.
“So that’s a lot of bullshit in a short period of time” 😂😂
Lunch breaks at work are becoming obsolete, we can just breathe in calories so there's no need for them.
God bless you, Layne. The misinformation out there is deceiving the normies.
If I have five shots of vodka, I’m not going to remember anything I ate.

Awsome video Layne💪👊🥩
The fact that this guy talks like Malibu's most wanted is hilarious
Calories is 80% of weight loss. It’s so simple that it’s hard.
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.
Same ones that go to the gym and burn 200 calories go get a 800 calorie drink at Starbucks as a reward
Okay I’m eating like 1400 to 1500 calories a day. I’m taking between 15 to 17000 steps a day. I have low thyroid, it first time I’m seeing the scale moving down like 2 kg a week, so calorie counting matters. Before I didn’t count my calories because of I was listening people like that and I was gaining weight I thought because of my thyroid but nop j was eating too much like 3000 calories a day and I wasn’t moving enough. Of course I’m gaining weight. Plz don’t listen those people who says it’s all about hormones. It is not only hormones. We underestimated how much we eat.
I’m glad that I found out now then later🥰

'It's almost like your body is smarter than you'👏👏👏🤣 great video
Great information 👍
I sense a mpmd video about that compound coming
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.
That's how keto works - keeps ghrelin levels low - appetite low - less calories. Great if you can sustain it, but it isn't realistic in the modern world.
And look at Silent Bob… lost massive amount of weight eating only potatoes
biolayne is sooo attractive ugghhh
It is, ive done it 😀 muscle is made of protein and water. Fat is stored calories. If you are coming back from a break you can regain back old muscle faster than you lose fat lb for lb in a deficit.
While I'm 100% sure Charlie isn't in a deficit, it's possible thermodynamically (although highly unlikely). Fat has more energy per mass than muscle. If you are 200 lbs and 100 lbs of it is fat your body will have a much higher energy content than if you are 201 lbs and 10 of it is fat. So you can accumulate negative energy (caloric deficit) while increasing mass.
I just love your humour in every video
😂😂😂😂
Unexpected weight loss is one of the first signs of untreated diabetes
It's sad that the basics of thermodynamics escape even the "experts" out there.
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 disagree with your assessment. I'm on a calorie deficit and have started weight training, and I'm a beginner. I noticed that I have gained about 1.2kg in 2 months despite having a caloric deficit. My body fat % has dropped from 22% to 19.5%, and it looks like I have gained muscle. My theory is that people who just started weightlifting can gain muscle despite being in a caloric deficit because of an increase in lean body mass. The weight increase can be explained by knowing that muscle cells hold more water than fat cells, so your body uses stored fat + intakes food to build the muscles needed to lift weight. Now, for how long this process will last, that really depends on how much stored fat you have and also the workout volume and intensity in addition to how much calories you eat less. In moderate caloric to small deficit, you will see an increase in weight due to an increase in muscle size, which holds more water. Now is this sustainable? I don't think so; at some point, your body will stop increasing muscle size, and you will see a reduction in weight.
So logically the next video would be a collab with Charlie where you guide him in properly tracking food intake using your smart diet app Carbon, yes? 😃
Nice work
The peeps on IIFYM forums swear people can gain body fat while eating in a deficit. It's mind blowing how many people believe this.
Oooh brutal! Loved it.
I wish I could see a chat with DR Robert Lustig.
Why do you think there are people who are convicted that eating too little causes them to go into "starvation mode" and gain weight?
I never can figure out where this came from and why so many seem to believe it.
Imagine our bodies were 'that' incredible. My best guess it comes from people getting less active as they have less energy, for example if I force 1200kcal I lose the same amount of weight as I do at 1600kcal (same counting inaccuracies so actual number is unimportant) because at 1200 I'm always cold and have to force 10k steps, where-as at 1600 I'm always warm, more active, stand more, until I get to the point my hormonal health goes at least.
It’s not entirely false. It has mostly to do with the body shutting off a lot of its usual calorie burn and central metabolism dropping. It’s not usually because you eat too little tho. It’s more so because of dieting for a long period and your body and brain readjusting its center points for your weight and caloric expenditure based off of your new daily intake
They're not telling you about the binge eating that's more likely to occur when being deprived for so long.
As others already pointed towards, I believe that it is most often the adaption of the body, and people not adjusting to that. On a diet, over time, the body starts to lower energy expenditure - body temperature, motivation to move, things like little movements like gesture and feet and so forth. This means that someone who lost weight on a certain amount of calories before, will not continue to lose weight and would have to adjust accordingly.
On the other side, there will be some people who use this rather emotional wording so they don't have to face that they may have been snacking, may have been skipping the gym or the walks and so on. Not that they did it on purpose or lied, but in my opinion, most often because their diet wasn't adjusted appropriately so they can adhere to it. There's also people who just can't do it, who make excuses no matter what, who self-sabotage themselves, who unintentionally or intentionally lie and so forth.
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
