Cutting Calories Doesn't Work - It's simple Algebra ❌🥗 || Jason Fung || Dr. Jason Fung Explains the Truth About Weight Loss & Insulin!Are you tired of hearing that the secret to weight loss is simply cutting calories? 🧐 Well, in this video, Dr. Jason Fung breaks down why calorie counting has NEVER worked and why it NEVER will! 🚫Let’s talk about the real reason why we gain weight and how calorie cutting can actually backfire. It’s not just about “calories in vs. calories out” – it’s WAY more complex than that. In fact, hormones, especially insulin, play a HUGE role in how your body stores fat! 🔄🍔Key Points Covered:1. Body’s Adaptation: When you cut calories, your body actually fights back by reducing energy expenditure, leading to a weight loss plateau. 😱 This is why calorie restriction alone doesn’t work long-term.2.Role of Insulin: Discover how insulin plays a critical role in weight gain by telling your body to store fat. 🧬💡 It’s not just about calories, it’s about the hormonal balance that shifts the relationship between calories in and calories out.3. Circular Logic of Dieting: You’ve heard it all before: "You’re gaining weight because you’re eating too much," but Dr. Fung explains why this is a classic case of circular logic that doesn’t solve the real issue. 🔄🤔4. The REAL Solution: Instead of focusing on calorie counting, the focus should be on what causes the imbalance – hormones like insulin. Dr. Fung gives insights on how to tackle the ROOT cause of weight gain. 🌿🔑Forget the traditional methods of counting calories and learn how to fix the real problem behind weight gain. 💥 Understanding your body’s hormonal response is the key to lasting weight loss and better health.🔥 Watch the full video to learn why calorie cutting isn’t the answer and how you can lose weight more effectively by focusing on the right things! 🔥If you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe for more health tips and insights from Dr. Jason Fung! 📺👍 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▶️ Timestamps / Chapters00:00 intro00:03 why calorie counting doesn’t work00:29 energy balance equation01:45 what causes weight gain?03:17 what causes alcoholism?04:49 what changed the ratio of CI to CO?08:30 why does calories In/ calories out seem so intuitive?09:02 outro=============================📌 BOOKS:👉 The Obesity Code - Reviewing underlying physiology of weight loss and how lowcarb diets and fasting can help. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1771641258?...👉 The Diabetes Code - Reviewing how type 2 diabetes is a reversible disease anddietary strategies. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795BLS8D?...👉 The Cancer Code - Scientific exploration of how cancer develops -https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062894005?...📌 Amazon:👉 USA - https://www.amazon.com/shop/jasonfung👉 Canada - https://www.amazon.ca/shop/jasonfung▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📌 Please visit our :-🔹 Website - https://www.doctorjasonfung.com🔹 Blog- https://drjasonfung.medium.com🔹 Community- https://www.thefastingmethod.com🔹 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jason.fung.313🔹 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drjasonfung/🔹 Twitter - https://twitter.com/drjasonfung▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📌 YouTube Medical Lectures (for specialist physicians):▶️ The Roots of the Obesity Epidemic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8BGYhreaco&t=0s▶️ Therapeutic Fasting - The Two Compartment Problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETkwZIi3R7w&t=0s▶️ Does Calorie Counting work?:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F5o0a4p_3U&t=0s▶️ Two Big Lies of Type 2 Diabetes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLoaVNQ3rc&t=0s▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬If you liked the video, Please Do Subscribe My Channel 😉😍Keep Supporting me So I can Continue to provide you with free content eachweek!!😇▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬😍 😍 Thank you for Watching!#CalorieCountingMyth #DrJasonFung #weightlosstips
