“A calorie is a calorie IS a calorie,” they say… that it doesn’t matter whether you eat a 100 calories of candy or broccoli, they will have the same effect on your weight.
 
It is true that all “calories” have the same amount of energy. One dietary Calorie contains 4184 Joules. In that respect, a calorie IS a calorie.
 
But when it comes to your body, things are not that simple.
 
The human body is a highly complex biochemical system with elaborate processes that regulate energy balance.
 
Different foods go through different biochemical pathways, some of which are inefficient and cause energy (calories) to be lost as heat (1)......

also the other extreme 'I can eat 3000 cals of meat because protein/keto/paleo is magic and those extra cals don't turn to fat'

or 'tren will make me burn the extra carbs instead of storing as fat' :p

im not sure what your point is here?

you think when on hormones you can get away with eating whatever you feel like?and still look decent?

@mawse, yeah,lol.

such things are the classic ones

a calorie is a unit of measure of how to increase water by 1 degree Celsius.  It's like saying a gram is a gram correct?  But is 1 gram of gold = 1 gram of sand, money wise?

im sure you "hoped" it would be worse, but this is 100% natural with long time no peds in system

so,in conclusion, go choke on semen

[galeniko]

so to the op, yet again, do you think just bc peds one can get away with eaing a shit diet and look good?

Love how the first post to his article burns him savagely.

well, but hes still right nonetheless, the firs tlink says "similiar" results,i think no need to go even further into this, one is about fatloss, the other is for the gullible, topic being weightloss, which arent the same things.

ofc one who dont train doesnt care what kind of weight he loses, but those who train,well,theres a reason why phil heaths diet is what it is, goes back 40 years now.
we see it every day in the gym, th guys who folow a bbuilding diet,and the guys who dont.they all train with similair frequency, they often both take enhancing drugs, they never look anything alike

what about

calorie is calorie=if it fits your macro (IIFYM)

Boom

[galeniko]

what about

well thats better, but can be misinterpreted imo.

example:

all protein from protein powder

all carbs from sugar

all fats fom cookies and icecream

ppl can say what the hell they want, but carbs and esp sugars have extremely different effects than a low carb diet, one example,and very important example being the insulin reaction and the bloodsugar reaction,with the followup reaction from the brain and the hunger hormones.

one just needs to look at a bloodsugar graphic which shows what kind of effect eating sugars has on the bloodsugar and insulin release.then they can compare that to complex carbs,whch are nothing else but chained simple sugars, and then compare that to low carb.

and can try to add or reduce protein and then see what happens to the graph, and check if they think fatloss for example being possible at what respective insulin levels.

or even more simple, go to a jacked guy, a bulker and a shredded one and ask them about their diets.

I don't think so.

[BikiniSlut]

This article is excellent.

It's basic but well written IMO.

A calorie is a calorie way of thinking is fine if weight loss is your sole purpose, but for the bodies maximum functional performance, you need to look further in depth.

This article is full of broscience and false beliefs.

and why would you like to see him go natural for a whole year, no self respecting man in his right mind is going to post 'progress' pics on a weekly or bi weekly basis when taking time off, that's a sure fire way to want to go back on again because he will only get a slagging. Granted after six months re adjustment of chemistry and consistent training and diet as shown in the pics the build can look great.
