1139: Fad Diets | Skeptical Sunday

It's kind of BS. There was a clinical study that found that intermittent fasting was as effective for weight loss as counting calories. So this is just a gimmick to get people to eat less. And you know what? If it works for you and it helps you to cut fat, lose weight, like great, it's fine. I think it's fine of all the diets we discussed. There's a cliche in bodybuilding.

that the best exercise is the one you'll actually do. So if you hate squats and you're always finding excuses not to do them, but you love to lay down and do the leg press, then I think it's pretty obvious that the leg press is the better exercise because that's the one you're actually going to do. And it's the same for dieting.

If you're not going to live off organ meat and cave nuts, then paleo is not going to work for you. On the other hand, if you're not a huge fan of breakfast and you just start skipping it altogether and you cut out after dinner snacks, go ahead, do that. Call it intermittent fasting, call it whatever you want.

It's super difficult to tease it out because all of these diets involve massive caloric restrictions. So it's hard to say because they're all already doing that. You cut all the carbs out of your diet In keto, you're probably not going to replace that by eating a bowl full of mayonnaise and butter. And you can't drink milk because milk's loaded with carbs.

Yeah, more or less. But I think the so what is that most of the stuff just isn't sustainable. It's such an extreme reaction to the standard American diet. Rather than just eat sensibly, count your calories, count your macros, get a food scale, people want to go to these extreme diets. measures. And another reason is that when people say, I want to lose weight, that's not really what they mean.
