Hey all,

Here's the transcript for my new vid.

Re: Muscle Wasting
(On this video, it would have been better to spend more time clarifying the point around 1:30 about muscle wasting)
I talk about how the body is trying to preserve energy, and so it will try to minimize processes that burn calories and save the calories it has. So, it will burn muscle for energy via gluconeogenesis.
This is the case only if you have reduced your food intake without significantly reducing carbohydrates. That is, if you have cut into your overall calories without modifying the composition of your diet in a way that allows you to enter ketosis, you can expect muscle atrophy.

That is, your body will respond very differently to a ketogenic diet or fasting than a higher carb calorie restricted diet.

Hope that helps a bit. Looking forward to any questions y'all might have!

Cheers,

Joseph

Do Calories Matter? Is a Calorie a Calorie? (Science of Weight Gain)

Check out Blinkist for key insights from 2000+ non-fiction books @ http://bit.ly/2sbegMN ↓ ↓ ↓ ▲Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WILearned ▲Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeverettlearned This video describes why calories gives you only a small slice of the picture for understanding weight loss. The body is constantly changing its operations to maintain homeostasis, and the food you take in has a drastic effect on these operations- the operation of hormones in particular. I made another video on calories before that I feel fell short in a couple ways, so I thought it was important to give it another shot. It's really hard to dig in and properly understand health if you are operating off the idea that calories are (most) significant for weight management. Books Mentioned: "Fat Chance" - http://amzn.to/2sKqyZR "The Calorie Myth" - http://amzn.to/2sbbMhM [BLINKIST] Blinkist is an app I've been using lately to discover new books and review the ones I've already read. It gives you the key points in text or audio form from tons of different non-fiction books. Since I'm always going through so many books to get these done, it's very useful to get me exposed to more concepts beforehand to know if it's worth my time to buy and read through that particular book.
