LLVLC On YouTube: Are Calories Really That Important On A Low-Carb Diet? (Episode 71)
LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine decided to address the issue of calories and their importance on the healthy low-carb lifestyle in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series. In Episode 71, Jimmy and Christine talk about whether it is the quantity of calories or the quality of the calories you consume that matters most when you are eating low-carb (or any nutritional approach designed for weight loss for that matter …
THANKS so much for watching and we appreciate feedback of all sorts. Happy you enjoyed it!
I’ve got serious doubts about any kind of high calorie diet being a good idea, even it’s all or mostly low carb calories. However I’m going to do some further reading on it.
As for presentation however, I found that to be most obnoxious and if I could rate negative stars for this video I would.
Yo!
Yeah, love the Croxton impersonation
Nutrients do matter, the difference between raw milk and soda is not calories but nutrients and they do matter. To say that calories matter it means that the body is designed to store extra calories as fat for when food is scarce and to make up for a lack of calories when they’re scarse by burning body fat instead. This is also logical in a evolutionary scenario, we would indeed need to get fat to survive famine and to make it possible eating whatever food.
I’d love to see these studies “proving” that calories matter. The logical sense should tell anyone that eating 1,000 calories worth of Twinkies, potato chips, and sugary soda is not even close to matching the metabolic benefits of consuming 1,000 calories worth of grass-fed beef, broccoli, butter, cheese, and raw milk. Is anyone seriously arguing the former is better than the latter even though the two meals are isocaloric? Surely you jest.
Dr Carlson is crazy and he can’t prove anything. There are several hundreds of metabolic ward studies proving that regardless of how many carbs or fat you eat calories do matter in a very precise manner. This also makes sense from an evolutionary point of view since to waste extra food as heat instead of storing it as VERY USEFUL body fat goes against survival and its’ the most ridicolous thing ever.
GO BOY! Make it happen!
LOL, when I loose all my weight, im gonna sell my story to you and be a millionaire, and I can be famous like that Jared Kid LOL
OUTSTANDING! Keep it up!!!
Im glad I found this video jimmy because I was going to message you and ask you why I eat so little lately and feel so (NOT HUNGRY) I am not used to feeling like that. I think yesterday for breakfast I had 4 pieces of link sausage and 3 eggs, then for dinner chickenbreast with some melted cheese on top and some cut up cold vegetables with ranch dressing, and I felt full all day long. Now I am at work and its 5am, and Im not even hungry!! Ive already lost around 15 lbs since I started!!!!!!!!!
Oh, well that’s the problem. YouTube doesn’t allow links. You have to be creative with links by writing something like go to LivinLaVidaLowCarb dote come slash blog, for example.
every comment were i posted a link has not shown up/has not posted
Which comments? I’ve seen them all post.
I dont know why my comments arent posting/showing up
Me too and it’s so healthy for you!
I eat lots lard:)
The sad part is it’s TOTALLY true for Christine!
This is YOUR low-carb diet and you do what you want to do, Rob. If those treats help keep you on track eating low-carb, then GO FOR IT! Ideally, you’d like to have these be infrequent, but the main thing is to transition to a lifestyle that you can live with forever.
LMFAO at 3:42!!!!!! Pain meds, hahahah!
Jimmy, I want to do low-carb, but I can’t stop buying low-carb treats and snacks, when I know I should first focus on whole foods, like eggs, cheese, etc. Can I have the low-carb treats say, once a week???
Be strong, Adam! You KNOW what works for YOU. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
THANK YOU,
This answered all my questions. And gave me confidence in my low carb diet choice, I found that this type of diet works best for me, but some Calrioes in, calories out people were making me doubt my descion, THANKS again.
Yooooo, seems to be working well now.
YOOOOOOOO is this thing workin? It didn’t post my last comment…you guys crack me up! Thanks for making the video man! yo yo gotta go go lol Rebecca
