What I don’t like …
What I don’t like about this video is, that it may encourage people to eat more unhealthily by telling them this, true it may result in weight loss but the costs are higher because you are more unhealthy.

alright steve .. …
alright steve ..just a quick question here ..u said we can loose weight if u do apply what u said..but would u loose fat or something else?? and would u still be able to gain muscle ?

He’s not saying to …
He’s not saying to eat snickers all day long. He’s saying as long as your in a calorie deficit you will lose weight regardless of what your eat. Obviously, you want to make to make good choices.

understand this… …
understand this… everyone think weight loss comes in a bottle or in a medicine or it super easy… but the truth is … you need to make a sacrifice you need to eat less and burn more calories… thats what steve wants us to understand…
he’s telling , you want to eat hamburguers eat 1200 cal of hamburguers..
want to eat more … eat 1200 cal of apple and you looser the same weight …

I have been looking for this kind of tip for a 100 years!
Steve, I love you!(and absolutely love Snickers, of course!)

You’re welcome. Eat the foods you, just eat less.

however eating …
however eating sugar whole day… you are in “Excessive Anabolic Zone” i.e. your blood sugar is too high.. which causes you to store as much fat as in can. But still if you are not consuming too much glucose for a longer period of time(calorie deficit), even when insulin makes u want more.. your body goes to a starvation mode. the body is scared that it will starve so it stores as much fat as it can and using the alternate source for energy… i.e. breakdown of muscle. so the body loses muscle.
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
to answer your …
to answer your question… let me ask you another question… “How many types of weight loss are there?” …
1)you can lose fat
2)you can lose muscle
3)you can get pregnant and after the delivery you can lose 7-8 lbs overnight
4)you can lose your body organs
here we are more concerned about the first two points.
Now, to lose fat.. ur body has to be in a “MODERATE CATABOLIC ZONE”…i.e. your blood sugar should be below the level required for maintenance of living function.

ok, according to ur …
ok, according to ur comment.. let us now ume that table sugar does not have high GI and so doesn’t cause “insulin spike”.but based on what you said on ur video:
“its not the content of the food that matters…its not the break down of the protein,carbs or fats that causes weight loss.its the total no of cals in the food that u eat”
lets say that instead of taking 1200 cals of table sugar, i take 1200 cals of PURE GLUCOSE now i ask the question again. will i still lose weight? why/why not?
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Sure. Your body …
Sure. Your body still requires energy. Even is you’re eating glucose you’ll still be running a calorie deficit. If you don’t believe me then YOU explain to me why you wouldn’t lose weight.
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Now, if another day …
Now, if another day i consume 1200 cals of low GI food say grain bread. my insulin level might be low and my “glucagon harmone” level will be comparatively high!!
always remember:
1)when insulin levels are higher then glucagon levels(i.e.1st case where i was eating sugar whole day) :-> glucose and fatty acid storage occurs
2)glucagon levels are higher the insulin levels(i.e.2nd case when i was eating grain bread whole day):->triglyceride release and glycogen breakdown occurs…
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Sorry but I’m not …
Sorry but I’m not wrong. Sugar is a disaccharide composed of glucose and FRUCTOSE. Fructose must be broken down by the liver BEFORE is can be effectively absorbed by the blood stream so even pure table sugar doesn’t increase insulin levels as much as once thought.
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
for the question i …
for the question i asked below..abt eating sugar whole day and still consuming less calories.. ur answer is WRONG!!
now lets analyze what’s wrong.u said..”Therefore your body will use 500 calories of stored fat to make up the energy difference”….NOT necessarily.if in a whole day i consume 1200 cals of high GI food say sugar(even though m 500 cals deficit) the sugar that i consume will kick my insulin level.

I never said such a thing. You’re putting words in my mouth. That’s not my responsibility but yours.
I’ve stated my opinion based on my own intellect and knowledge of food and the human body.
If you don’t like it you can always choose to disregard it.

well what makes you …
well what makes you think you know more than this guy though?
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
I don’t buy it. The …
I don’t buy it. The human body is bit more complicated than just a calorie extraction and incineration device. The quality of food is more important than its calorie content even when it comes to merely lose weight. Although he doesn’t explicitly advice to eat snickers for a meal he suggests its no problem, calorie wise. It reads like a tacit approval for eating a candy bar for a meal. Eating processed food, especially candy garbage, is not the answer to a sensible and healthy weight reduction.

grinreaper is just …
grinreaper is just a ing moron..what the is his problem? i dont see steve trying to sell anything..and he never once said it was healthy to eat snickers every day and he didnt say it was the best meal quality you in retard. the only point he was trying to make is that by creating a calorie deficit is the Only way to cause weight loss regardless of what you eat.
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Let’s say your body …
Let’s say your body uses (meaning needs and normally burns) 1700 calories a day. If you eat 1200 calories of ANYTHING you are still running a 500 calorie DEFICT. Therefore your body will use 500 calories of stored fat to make up the energy difference. You’re missing the point. The point is people obsess too much about their stupid carb, protein & fat mixture and then still eat TOO MUCH or do TOO LITTLE.
April 11th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
“its not the …
“its not the content of the food that matters…its not the break down of the protein,carbs or fats that causes weight loss.its the total no of cals in the food that u eat”..
so, according to u, if i stop eating all the foods and eat only sugar for breakfast,lunch and dinner(so that the total cal is <1200) i’ll still lose weight? try to answer this simple question and explain why/why not..!!

You missed the entire point of the video and it’s concept.

A snickers for …
A snickers for breakfast and lunch? How American does it get? You rationalize eating a snickers to substitute for not one but two entire meals and yet conclude your oxymoronic statement with “love your body”? You must have lost the plot somewhere along the line Bubba. You cannot sell this advice to your audience and still claim to be responsible. Candybars do NOT belong any where near a healthy diet. Using calorie numbers as a criteria for meal quality? Oh brother gimme a break….LOL Sigh…
