@trainbloom: Twinkies make you healthy? 😳 Not quite 🫠 (even though that’s what half the comments will tell you that’s what I’m saying) Do I think anyone should replicate this example? No, its extreme, and you’d feel like s*** And although short term your health might improve, long term this is probably a terrible idea But sometimes we can learn from extreme examples 💭 There are 3 BIG lessons I think you can take from the experiment in this video: 1. A calorie deficit isn’t *a* way you lose weight, it’s *the* way you lose weight 2. Simply getting to a healthy body weight and not carrying excess body fat will probably do more for your health than any “optimal” diet would staying at a higher body fat level 3. As terrifying as some influencers make certain “junk” foods sound for your health, there’s really no such thing as a healthy or unhealthy food - only a healthy or unhealthy diet as a whole. Someone who’s diet consists of 95% fast food that eats one salad isn’t “healthy” And someone who eats mostly whole, minimally processed foods having a donut for a snack isn’t “unhealhty” On top of all of this, its a nice remider that diet only accounts for roughly 20% of your overall health And things like your body composition, how active you are, how well you sleep and manage your stress, along with 100 other things also go into it And yes, I know what you’re thinking… This is just one guy who did a self experiment, you can’t use this as evidence Which I agree with But there is PLENTY of research showing that simply reducing body fat levels, regaradless of how it’s done, improves so many different health metrics Like: - type 2 diabetes - hypertension (high blood pressure) - cholesterol and lipid levels - cardiovascular disease - improved glycemic control and reduced insulin resistance - and more (research linked below) ___ https://doi.org/10.7326/0003-4819-149-7-200810070-01004 PMID: 35457744 PMID: 28214525 PMID: 12055705 PMID: 21463847 PMID: 21593294 #FitTok #healthy #Fitness #GymTok #muckbang
