That's actually very healthy food that you can cram so many calories into dishes like that and eat a portion and a half that you just end up getting in too many calories and gaining weight. And there actually has been no documented instance of someone gaining a large degree of body fat and weight while simultaneously under eating calories.

It's thermodynamically roughly saying impossible, probably strictly impossible. And so it ends up being that, yeah, it is the excess food that we're eating and it doesn't just have to be junk food. Now, junk food is the best way to get an excessive amount of calories by a long shot, but you can do it without junk food just by eating really tasty, well-prepared food.

That's pretty healthy, but you got an appetite on you. And you eat more than you need, and you just kind of keep eating, and all the healthy snacks add up. And all of a sudden, you have an excess body weight. So the real thing to do is you don't have to count calories at all.

But if you know roughly how much food you eat through the day, and you know that's the amount that's been leading you to gain weight, Taking a chunk off of that, subtracting away some amount of food that's meaningful is almost certainly going to get you to maintain your weight.

And then if you subtract out more, going to get you to lose weight at that earlier thing we were talking about of that rate of weight loss, maybe about a pound per week. That's nice and sustainable over a 10 to 12 week period.

100%. And a lot of people who have success with ketogenic diets, carnivore diets, things like that, they see it was the hormones and not the calories. But if you look at their calories, they're eating less calories than they were before because when you cut out an entire food group like carbohydrates, it's just really difficult to stuff yourself full of proteins and fats.

You just don't feel like eating anymore. Though to your point earlier, you were successfully at a higher body fat level still eating a low carb diet. So it is possible. And for many people, we have this frustrating moment where they're like, I'm eating low carb. I'm doing all the things. Why am I not losing weight? And why am I not losing fat?
