One dimensional research or lack of research experience leads people to come up with videos like the one below. It’s a shame because calorie counting is unscientific, misleading and even dangerous to some people. There are plenty of studies actually showing problems with the calorie counting theory. Hopefully this bullshi’t can die in the near future.
Thankfully, there are plenty of other well informed researchers that have helped bring the real science behind weight gain to light. The video below is a very accurate illustration of how our bodies actually store and release energy.

Preach! 🙂 Fathead did an awesome job of explaining how and why we get fat! I’ve recently stumbled across a blog by Maria Emmerich called MariaMindBodyHealth who also is an advocate of insulin spikes make people fat. I’m thankful I found her blog, I kind of read it religiously 😉 she distills the science of fats and other foods, explaining what it does to our bodies and why we need to cut out alot of the garbage the FDA has deemed “food”. Gah! Anyways, keep bloggin Amir. I’m thankful for people like you and Maria who share the truth, and try to help shed light in a very dissuaded country…
