    100% agree. I was hoping someone expands on this a bit more and glad I found a video! I used to follow the mainstream advice eating smaller but more frequent meals a day. And it didn't work for me. I usually have a bigger appetite than most others and when I start eating I eat a lot and can't stop. So when I'd calorie count while eating comfort foods (carb heavy) and reached my calorie limit for the day, I'd have to starve myself that day or some other day of that week just to keep fit.
    Gave keto a try for 2-3 weeks and that was enough time to see results. Would eat 1.5 meals a day (1 small meal where I'd have a few low carb fruits + other stuff and then I'd workout to use those carbs up instantly. Post workout I'd have a massive high fat, high protein meal - usually eggs + butter & meat/ chicken/ fish cooked in olive/ coconut oil. Didn't track calories too strictly, used a bunch of electrolytes and kept roughly 19 hr fasts.
    - Cravings went away/ didn't have to starve myself. Felt sharp & energetic throughout the day.
    - Was able to fit into a trouser I hadn't worn for 5 years
    - Experienced more muscle growth than I ever had
    - Skin cleared up

      they are but it's because the govt told everyone it's because fat in food is bad. but fat in food is satieting so u don't get hungry. so if u have meals high I'm carbs u will be hungrier and want to eat more. so they made portions bigger to match that. so people were getting more and more of what they didn't need, empty carbohydrate calories

    Great video, this is why I’ve been watching you for many years. Regarding food nutrition labels being misreported by 20%. For people trying to lose weight and are tracking their calories, I think it would be better to add 20% to every food when tracking calories, and in regards to what you eat, carbs should be heavily reduced to near 0 it’s a strong mental challenge. But if you can, ride through it you will lose weight. Good luck.

    Before age 35 counting calories worked for me. I was a bikini competitor and to lose fat i needed 1150 calories per day😢. After age 35 it didnt work. I started keto and i currently eat almost 3000 calories per day and never felt better.

    Hi Kait, I use an app that counts calories. I use it as a can you believe there was that many calories in what you just ate.
    I just eat once a day usually in a two-hour window and seem to get along pretty good.
