Ridiculous. I've counted calories for literally years. People act like fasting isn't a form of calorie restriction. At the end of the day, three laws of thermodynamics cannot be broken. Energy in vs energy out. Period.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and other fitness gurus recommend counting calories . Counting calories have been around for over 50 years , even my grand mother knows.about it .
Hi Autumn. I was wondering how one would go about recovering from a long period of calorie counting. How would they fix their “damaged” BMR/increase their BMR.
Dr. I was on SAD my highest weight was 226 lbs then after Clean keto (no dairy no nuts) I went down to 127 lbs.
I unfortunately had a terrible accident that made me had a horrible flare up of my spondylolisthesis, couldn't walk etc. So I learned that Carnivore diet could help me heal faster. IT DID!!
Unfortunately with the vasts steroids medication of course I gained weight to 152 lbs. I am 5' 6" 47 y female postmenopausal.
But after 3 months of Carnivore (Only Animal Protein and Fats, no dairy no nuts, no carbs whatsoever only from eggs). I was off completely of ALL MEDICATIONS. I'm Carnivore for about 1 year now not restricting calories on the contrary eating till satisfied (1 1/2 – 2 1/2 lbs of meat a day) in 3 meals. This so I could heal hormones, metabolism, eating disorders (ex binger), depression, neuropathy pain, constipation, high blood pressure, cholesterol, sleep disorder, etc. AND IT DID!!! Not only that but my true hunger levels!!
So I felt confident to try some EF (Extended fasting) Once a WK of 46 hr with homemade electrolytes, then refeed with carnivore meal (14 oz beef w organs and tallow or butter) then OMAD'S like 3 times a week, the rest my usual 2 meals a day. I dropped from 152 to 142 in 1 week without restricting calories, keep in mind I was in ketosis to begin with so no "water weight loss there". I feel really amazing, definitely body composition has really changed. I am jogging now (fartlek) only 3 miles. Plus Stability, Flexibility, Resistance and Functional and Weight Training. Not every day.
I needed to hear this— again. I lost a bunch of weight several years ago by eating 1200 calories and working out with strength training and running every day. I'm 5'2". 1200 is not adequate if I were in a coma, let alone for as active as I was. After I stopped losing weight, and slowly started to GAIN it on 1200 calories when I lost all the energy to keep up that level of activity, I stopped counting calories. And I craved sugary foods like crazy! I was insatiable! I tried again to count calories several months ago and everything about it felt wrong. I'm vegan, mostly whole foods, and I started to prioritize sleep. Instead of the crazy workouts, I'm walking every day, with 3-4 workouts during the week. Already I'm feeling better and have more energy, and I'm not crashing after workouts. It's so hard to break the calorie counting mentality, since everyone screams in your face "CALORIES IN CALORIES OUT!" whenever you try to lose weight, and treat you like you're just making excuses when you say you're not going to count calories.
I've lost 25 lbs on Weight Watchers Freestyle Program. WW does not count calories from every type of food. You can have as much lean protein, fruits and veggies as you want.
I really dont like counting calories cause it stresses me out and I gained a bunch of weight after loosing it. I started to write it down in a journal right before I go to bed, I was wondering, do you get really sleepy when your body goes on starvation mode? because I didn't have any energy for anything for a while I literally come home and just want to lay down 🙁
Hi Autumn, can you suggest what’s the best way to increase our BMR? I think I slows down my metabolism by counting calories from my previous diet before i get to watch your youtube channel
Hi Autumn, at the end of the video you said to “watch this video right here” but you forgot to add the link. I just wanted to tell you because I know people will want to see the video. I think I remember which one that was and saw it already. I like the video! Counting calories is too crazy because you just can’t live life that way!! Thanks!
Thank you- I’m sending this to someone special in my life who thinks keeping her calories under a number allows her to eat super unhealthy processed foods which are “dietetic” so ok to eat!
THANK YOU!!!!!! This is SO timely ! My sister was just telling me not to count calories LAST NIGHT!; I'd been watching a lot of my fitness gurus and that's all they've been preaching for months, so I was super conflicted.
I lost 60lbs a few years ago (and gained it all back slowly over the next 2), but I never counted a single calorie. My issue was that I didn't have a well rounded training plan, which I do now based on my personal goals 🙂
what about the potato guy? he lost a lot of weight just eating potatoes.
Ridiculous. I've counted calories for literally years. People act like fasting isn't a form of calorie restriction. At the end of the day, three laws of thermodynamics cannot be broken. Energy in vs energy out. Period.
This is completely untrue. Just don’t under eat 🤷🏻♀️
Lies

Im so glad I found you. I wish I could call . How meny day should you fast. I'm doing it every day and watched someone who said not too. So confused 🙄
Count a REASONABLE amount of calories
Just alternate day fast works better ,if your healthy = shredded

I play with my macros ratio Fat=60+% Protein =40%
What do you recommend, any tips for me Doctor?
I just watched a video saying you SHOULD count your calories 🤨

WW doesn't count calories, can confirm.
Thank you so much for this! You are AWESOME!!
