Time Restricted Eating

[TheJ]

I have a new fad diet plan that has been scientifically proven to work.

 

It goes like such:

 

Calories consumed less Calories burned equals a Calorie surplus or a calorie deficit.

 

Need I explain the result of a daily Calorie surplus?

 

Your math is a bit off, unless you meant it that way.

 

100 calories in and 90 calories out (burned) = calorie surplus (weight gain)

100 calories in and 110 calories out (burned) = calorie deficit (weight loss)

I have to add, I would only consider doing 24h fasts again, 48h fasts exhausted me mentally.

 

In the initial adjust-to-the-fast phase, I would get light headaches from training and when days were taxing.

 

Do what works for you (I don't believe in BMI either) and everything in moderation. Fasting helped me get in the right mindset. I.e. being more conscious about what I eat and how I eat.

It is cool that the body can fully focus on repair and restoration if it doesn’t have to use energy resources to digest and metabolize food.

 

Try it. ????????

I can't see the difference between our maths?

I colour coded everything.

 

"Calories consumed less Calories burned equals a Calorie surplus or a calorie deficit."

 

IE:

 

X - Y = (W or Q)

 

If X -Y can be W OR Q, that means that W and Q is the same thing, in other words, calorie surplus is the same as calorie deficit.

 

They aren't the same thing.

I think this is the key! Modern food probably whacks our gut and the "normal" digestive process is disrupted. If you limit the periods when you intake food, you are allowing all the systems to recover and focus on the areas that need focus.

Don't be dof, J. 

 

Calories in minus calories out results in a surplus OR a deficit, depending on the size of each figure. 

 

So yes. He is right, and so are you. Just because you're right, doesn't mean he isn't right. 

 

In your example, it should read X-Y = W

 

W is the end variable. It can either be negative or positive. Negative means deficit, positive means surplus.

i did an N=1 experiment and fasted for 5 days (as in ate nothing, except for salt and water) and felt fine, slept well, and smashed my Chappies PR on day.

Just saying

Some people just find that eating once a day is easier to manage calorie consumption when compared to grazing throughout the day.

Man. 

 

Depends if you want to think of double negatives or whatnots. I see what you are saying. Not worth splitting hairs over.

Thanks Cptmayhem, my statement was not an equation but rather the most simplistic example of how you gain or lose weight.

Everything you consume has a Calorie value and simply being alive has a Calorie expenditure. To lose weight make sure your Calorie expenditure is higher than your Calories intake. It can't get simpler than this.

Can't say I agree with this, but I might be wrong. If you start eating earlier you at least have some "active" hours during the day to put a dent in the food you ate. Ie, you can walk around, ride your bike etc etc to burn that MickeyD's burger off just a bit. If you have that burger, fries and shake at 8pm and then get into bed, your body doesn't have anything to do with the food for the next 8 hours or so, and it will probably be stored (as fat)?

[Goodbadugly]

It's on the internet. It must be true.

[the nerd]

Its also in peer reviewed scientific journals... so there's that.

your body does the same thing with food regardless of when you eat it. It digests it, and prioritises certain nutrients over others when it comes to energy production. You still burn stuff off 24h a day. Exercise just increases the amount you burn. 

 

IOW - nutrient timing is largely a myth. The body just burns certain things faster than others (carbs will be "burnt" before protein, and alcohol before carbs)

 

Also - it's a lot easier to smash 3,000 kcal over the space of 16h than it is to fit it in in a single meal. Unless you're talking deep fried everything and so on and so forth.
