CALORIE RESTRICTION

  • Thinking of eating in terms of calorie in and calorie out is not good.
  • It can create unhealthy eating habits.
  • Also, while it may work short term, it is not sustainable.
  • Calories are units of energy. You’re restricting fuel.
  • For some people, fasting feels like calorie restrictions.
    • This is why Vinnie thinks some people don’t need to or even shouldn’t fast.
    • Some people with disordered eating (or eating disorders) may find this exacerbates problems.
  • Now, you can’t eat no sugar and no grains with impunity.
    • People can still over-eat. But it’s not CICO.

DIET TRICKERY

  • Many companies market ‘shortcuts’ that don’t really exist.
  • Don’t think about things like “cheat days.”
  • Doing so can encourage trickery.
  • Keto companies can be guilty of this.
