The hacker's diet protocol

[moraleste]

Has anyone heard of this hacker's diet where John Walker lost 33 kilos in a year and didn't gain it back? he used a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of calories he used up and then subtracted the amount of calories he consumes. the difference though is the formula adjust things differently so you don't gain everything back.

I don't endorse anyone counting calories as if we are robots. we aren't robots at all, we are living organisms and counting calories doesn't work. if it did 95% of weight watchers people wouldn't fail miserably at it

Not another diet question. I'll be taking a hammer to my balls if I see one more.

This is the simple calories in vs calories out method. The major flaw with it is that it is not a closed-loop system. There are a ton of other factors that determine how much energy you expend when consuming food.

Never heard of it

Not familiar with it, but the reality is there are more variables involved than just calories in and out

It sounds like a way to overthink just counting macros and calories and adjusting accordingly
