LOW CARB DIETARY EXPERIMENTS

• Sam did an N-1 experiment.
• He ensured the same calorie surplus for each.
• He decided to try 3 different diets for 3 weeks a piece over a year.
  • Between trials, he’d take about 3 months to get metabolically sound again.
• He started with a low carb whole foods diet, but he ate about 6,000 calories a day intentionally.
  • His day would include lots of eggs, nuts, fish, and more. He’d have to force himself to eat.
  • After 3 weeks, he was in 47,000 calorie surplus.
    • According to popular diet notions, he should have gained over 6 kilos from that.
      • Instead, he gained just over one but lost an INCH around his waist. In three weeks.
        • He actually lost fat around his waist.
        • Sam and Vinnie are built fairly similarly — he didn’t have a lot of inches to lose.
• Sam and Vinnie don’t advise this, but it goes to show this lifestyle works.
• Then, he went low fat fake food.
  • He’d have low fat yogurt, skinless chicken breast, low fat chocolate, etc.
  • Again, he had a 47,000 calorie surplus.
    • According to popular diet notions, he should have gained over 6 kilos from that.
      • He ended up gaining over 7 kilos and 3.5 inches around his waist.
  • Low fat food did not do good for his body.
  • His fitness, though, and asthmatic symptoms got worse.
• Finally, he tried super low-fat vegan diet.
  • He’d eat lots of rice and beans, veggies, water chestnuts, etc.
  • The only fat he really got was olive oil.
    • This was most vastly different from his regular diet.
  • He ended up with a 40,000 calorie surplus because of all the fiber he ate.
    • Neither his gut nor wife were happy.
    • He gained around 4.5 kilos and gained 2.5 inches.
• On the low carb diet, he felt the best.
  • He didn’t have the gas or stomach issues.
  • His asthma didn’t flare up.
• Quality has a role in weight loss and gain.

PUBLIC HEALTH COLLABORATION

• He started by raising about 11,000 pounds.
• Fortunately, they don’t need too much income to keep going.
• They run on donations, but they do give events like conferences and a food festival.
• The idea is centered around eating fat and getting slim.
  • Low carb diets are the best for your help.
• The charity’s real focus is helping people learn about and implement healthy choices.
