OK Im ill but on the way out and can't sleep.
Serotonin is made with Trytophan
Trytophan is an essential amino acid. Ie you do NOT produce it.
You need PROTEIN. Im sorry but the NHS figures arent good on this.
Carbs help seperate long chain amino acids and push Trytophan through the Blood Brain Barrier (and into the muscles; leucine etc).
Do carbs help with Serotonin production, kinda, but only if you've got amino acids in the blood stream.
THEREFORE;
CARBS
Carbs release Serotonin. NO. JUST NO.
Carbs before bed for sleep. Nope.
Carbs make you happy. Nup.
Well, I love chips and they're nice. But so is a good poo.
He's almost there but would he listen?
CORTISOL
You ABSOLUTELY need cortisol. It wakes you up in the morning. Helps you supercharge and is involved with fat oxidising.
Too much is bad, too little is bad.
Does cortisol ruin things? Yeah if too low OR too high.
Sleep and stress DO matter but hes not adding it up correctly. They matter mainly as youll eat more. We are human beings not nuclear fission we do not create energy. If you truly eat 1200 cals 7 days a week 52 weeks you're not getting fat. You just arent. Im ill and haven't slept, took kid to school craved cookies all day those soft type and I prefer crisps.
FATS
"saturated fat is needed and improves hormones"
No.
Saturated fat became synonymous with cholesterol.
There's multiple types, we have all heard HDL and LDL?
He's almost right but hes too arrogant to hear it. You need fats. You dont need saturated fats.
By all means enjoy a burger but dont call it pwoper nootwition. Get your omegas in.
EAT MORE; MOVE MORE
Absolutely will improve quality of life and and 80/20 REAL rule is COMPLETELY (sorry cant italic) valid. He should have stayed here and in this lane. His calories are just too high for some. Do you know some obese people compensate 50% of exercise cals burn by BMR REDUCTION? (Average 28%) . So for SOME moving more to 10k and eating at maintainence is going to work. Most people need to eat more tbh but they also need to move. We are not a feat of engineering we are highly evolved and our lives are very sedentary. Some cant move more or flap their arms and in some that effort may not be worth the same as calorie reduction.
Youve heard of thermic effect of food and know protein is highest? Second is Carbs NOT fat!
Imagine you're smashing 4k reduced to 3k and move twice as much even with adaptations above you'll get some shift. But this is NOT "the plan" working. But if you're stable is on 1500 and little activity maybe 6000 steps; DW gives you 2100 for maintenance (unless you're 47kg...) and tells you to sack your PT. You burn 600 walking (unlikely) but then your BMR reduces by 300. You're now in surplus and gaining. He calls you lazy or trust the plan.
Its not ok. He doesnt understand this. Ironically for those on the top end of BMR reduction it can improve the leaner you get. Sometimes it's a harsher start. But if you have no context, no feedback and no review or adjustments. "1500 nah mate sack your PT theyre useless" maybe they are but how do YOU know they are?
Noone can tell you what you are from numbers alone. Calculators are estimates, food labels in UK can be up to 20% off legally (mixed eggs ffs!!) Its not an X=Y=Z. But for some "legends" or "positive ones" it will be, genuinely and good for them. But energy balance remains key but Emily isn't Susan.
I wonder how many reduce cals and dont tell him. Fatt Dan is 213kg on 5000 cals and exercising but millie bobby brown at 47kg needs 2300 to maintain. I mean people still buy raspberry ketones. At that rate a 100kg man (16 stone) would be on 5000. Or maybe it was a lie.
Calories are ALL made equally (they dont all act in the body equally) but its a unit of measurement. That's it.
IF you could survive and just eat ginger nut biscuits in a calorie deficit you WILL lose weight. A few tik tokers mix this point together. Of course eating a giant chicken salad bowl versus a single donut will be more satieting (how do you say this again?!). But calories are built equal. If you ate the donut and held on its still valid.
Also you dont burn calories just like when you ate toast you didnt eat calories. You ate a series of micronutrients that came with a kilocalorie value. You burn glycogen, protein, fat. This is measured in calories. Just like having a fever you dont get hot via Celsius. But thats how we understand you're hot.
boring fact a calorie is the energy needed to raise a ml of water 1 degree. One degree what? Scales dont matter troll. No cold water or alkaline water wont help. Water will.
Like temperature. HOW you get hot matters but you're still measurably hot.
PS a tape measure utilises cm or inches this is a length scale. Saying scales are useless is properly numb.
Over 14 sites measured you only need to lose 0.07 cm to lose 1cm overall which is considered plan working.
If he just stayed with motivating ladies and adjusting for them...
Would you buy your children drugs on the Internet because a guy in his garage told you
). What are you going to do to number 100? It wonāt be long till they join inā¦
