www.colossusfitness.comSummary of episode:Listed points:1 (01:00) - Carbs are bad for you. Fat makes you fat. Sodium is bad. Sugar is bad. (FEAR MONGERING)-if we listen to what people say is bad, we would be eating literally nothing2 (02:09) - You should only eat 100% clean3 (05:13) - Fasting boosts metabolism & is the #1 fat loss tool.-Fasting reduces energy expenditure in the short term.-Fasting can be a useful tool to control energy intake but it isn't magic.4 (06:52) - You can't lose weight because of starvation mode.-Starvation mode is claimed to occur when a prolonged calorie deficit slows down and halts a person's metabolism, making further weight loss impossible & can even cause weight gain. -This is FALSE. A calorie deficit will always result in weight loss over time.-The law of thermodynamics applies to everyone. Cals in cals out is legit.5 (06:14) - High-protein diets damage kidneys.For people with pre-existing kidney conditions, high protein intake may worsen kidney function6 (08:08) - Eating before bed causes weight gain7 (09:56) - All calories are the same.Reality: Not all calories have the same effect on the body. The source of calories matters significantly. For example, 100 calories from a sugary soda will affect your blood sugar and insulin levels differently than 100 calories from a portion of vegetables or lean protein. Nutrient-dense foods tend to be more filling and provide essential nutrients, while empty-calorie foods (like sweets and junk food) can lead to overconsumption without providing much nutritional value.-The time of day you eat doesn't directly affect weight gain. What matters more is your overall calorie intake, nutrient quality, and portion control.Thanks for listening!
