You're too predictable. Try some carbs, get that brain firing on all cylinders

So rats that are fed too much of an unhealthy diet get lost when swimming around. Interesting stuff.0 -

I thought I did?
Rephrase in short craving disappears naturally once you get adapted to ketogenic diet. Hence no willpower, calories control require. In fact at later stage you can even go without food for a day or two no probs.
Do you know any better options?0 -
A "Calorie" is the measure of how heat applied to food raises the temperature of water by degrees.
A body does not react to the ingestion of foodstuffs or extract its energy in this manner.
I'm not sure what the "cryptic" remark means....I have been making this point consistently throughout this thread.
I was being generous about a couple of comments saying they were cryptic.
But anyway, back to calories. I understand your point that the calculation of the caloric content of a food doesn't reflect how it's processed in the body. Twins could eat the same diet and their bodies might reach differently. The body is very complex and science is not yet at a point where we can quantify how the body processes food.
But that doesn't override the whole concept of energy balance. It affects how you calculate calories in (and, to a lesser degree, calories out).
If you consume more calorie than your body needs, then you will put on weight and if you consume less, you lose weight.
If you calculate your caloric intake (as calculated in a lab) to be 1800 calories and you have used assorted calculators to tell you that that would be a deficit of 300 calories, if you lose weight you're consuming fewer calories than your body is using. Conversely, if you put on weight, then you're consuming too many calories.
The CICO model is not capable of being a model based on precision. That's impossible. It's a gauge for managing food intake to manage weight. So I don't see why it's redundant because the lab calculated caloric content doesn't necessarily match how it's used by the body.0 -

How long does it take everyone to adapt to the ketogenic diet? Not the just the mean time but the range.0 -

" Calorie".
I've explained what that word means and how it is quantified.
One could eat more calories and lose weight. It is not a fact that " if you put on weight then you're consuming too many calories" , unless of course one refuses to understand what a calorie is and how we come by its measure!
The above is me making a concession to that word in order to show it has the meaning we wish to lend to it, rather than accept it for its plain unadulterated meaning.0 -

The basic science, If you have healthy/unhealthy microbiome excess energy intake pushed out in a form of poop.
Read that back to yourself.
Both health and unheathly people - ie the entire population is one or the other.
Poop out their excess energy.
So nobody anywhere puts on weight.

Would be good to create a final TL;DR summary to wrap up what we'e learned from the last 32 pages.
To get the ball rolling:
- there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to diet/food - the same dietary advice doesn’t work for everyone.
- “trial and error” is needed to find what is easily sustainable for you in the long run.
