Summary

This is going to piss off the calories in/calories out zealots, but I say no...

Check out this week's episode of Controversial Thoughts to hear why.

I believe that our satiety mechanisms have been hijacked, and this causes us to overeat-> obesity->metabolic dysfunction.

Blocking CB1 receptors with Rimonabant is incredibly helpful for weight loss and improve cardiometabolic parameters to a greater degree than weight loss would predict...

Linoleic acid-> 2-AG and Anandamide (AEA) which bind to CB1, these are endogenous cannabinoids that appear to be overproduced when we eat seed oils...

Is everything starting to become clear now?

By eating an #AnimalBased diet (meat/organs, least toxic plant foods), you'll be avoiding seed oils and processed sugars that hijack your satiety = no real need to count calories and freedom from calorie counting prison.

Don't believe me? Watch the video!

0:00.0	What is up you guys? Welcome to another edition of controversial thoughts. Now on rumble.
0:07.4	And maybe not on YouTube for much longer. We'll see. So if you're watching this on Instagram, great.
0:14.9	If you are listening to this and you want to see a video of this with figures and studies that I
0:20.8	refer to go to rumble, you can just search my name, Paul Saladino on your channels, and you'll find it.
0:26.8	Okay, so I wanted to do a video about whether you need to count calories on an animal-based diet.
0:36.0	So this is a really interesting controversial topic. And I should also say a contentious topic.
0:44.8	My short answer is that I believe, no, you do not have to count calories on an animal-based diet.
0:52.0	And I will explain why I believe that. So let's start from the beginning. We know that diets
0:59.8	the count calories inevitably fail. There is so much research to suggest that counting calories
1:07.1	puts you in a mental, physical, physiological prison. Listen to the podcast I did with Herman
1:13.0	Ponser if you want more about this. Why the people on the biggest loser inevitably failed.
1:18.7	When you restrict calories without changing food quality, you will fail long-term.
1:25.0	You will fail long-term. In a short-term, like the biggest loser, you may have weight loss,
1:28.9	but you will fail long-term because your body will adjust, it will adapt, it will change your
1:33.5	metabolism, and it will make you get those calories back eventually. We know the diets that are
1:39.5	simply calorie-restricted are going to fail long-term. This is evolution. This is millions of years
1:44.8	of evolution working against that. The magic of weight loss, I believe, happens when you change
1:51.2	food quality. And what's so cool about this is that when you change food quality by eliminating
1:57.0	things like seed oils, I'm going to talk about those today, and other things like processed
2:00.6	sugar, not in a food matrix. So this would be processed sugar, sucrose, high fructose,
2:05.8	corn syrup, not things like fruit and honey. Big differences between those two.
2:10.2	You eliminate those things, and I believe that your satiety mechanisms will come back,
