Over the last 10 years of my life, I have not only worked with numerous athletes, bodybuilders and average joes, but I have also worked with myself personally on developing a concept of dieting. My recent experiences have shown that most people today have a tendency to think that there is one diet that is god-almighty and the rest are non-workable. Well, I'm here to tell you that it is not true, the most exemplary case has been with Ketonic diets (i.e. CKD, TKD, SKD, MDK).
Although diets are NOT as simple as calories in vs. calories out, they are not as complex as people imagine. Just to give you an example of the improper view of the cal in vs. cal out theory: if you eat 2000calories of table sugar a day vs. 1000calories of EFAs and 1000calories of lean proteins, in which case do you think you'll be losing BODYFAT and not just WEIGHT? (although both are taking in the SAME amount of calories assumed well under BMR) Of course, case two where you're eating a balance of healthy fats and proteins; whereas, in case one you'll be most likely losing a LOT of your muscle mass. As you can see, the theory behind the cal in vs. cal out is great but it's just a theory and when applied in real life does not always work - after all, communism looks GREAT on paper, but in real life it's not feasible and the soviet union was a great example of that. In essence, the point that is being made here is that each individual should look at their body type, metabolic rate, goals and fitness experience before choosing a diet - CKD is not the end of the world and will not save you from being 600lbs. obese but it might help you more then, let's say, a government recommended 60%carbs/25%protein/15%fat diet.
In addition to the above, I have been hearing this issue of "weight loss". I'd like to point out to everyone that weight loss¨ is COMPLETELY different from "fat loss" and most people on here look for fat loss rather then just weight loss. Just as in the case of one trying to gain muscle mass and not just weight, we want to be clear on what our goals are and losing weight are not usually one of them - losing fat is.
Just a Halloween story for you guys
