Is Counting Calories or Carbs Better for Weight Loss?

23  comments

Low-carb diets work for weight loss and low-calorie diets ALSO work for weight loss. So, with these two successful strategies available to us, why isn’t obesity a thing of the past? This video looks at how weight loss happens via the Calorie Model and the Carbohydrate Model and the one thing that destroys them both.

  • Thanks for sharing this video. I’ve learned, will ref and follow your guideline. Keep sharing and educating the general public. Many will appreciate you for helping them directly or indirectly.
    ❤️👏😊👍🙏

  • Excellent presentation, as always.

    Whole foods- always.

    Wholefoods become more delicious the longer one sticks to them. You’ll begin to yearn for wholefoods, and processed foods will become unsatisfying, even repelling.

  • Thanks so much Dr. Becky for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm and encouragement! I started the LCHF way of eating February 1, 2023 and as of today (May 2, 2023) I have lost 21 lbs. Down from 210 to 189. I am a tall (6′ 3″) older man (58 yo) and have always been somewhat skinny and a hard gainer. However, over the past few years I’ve seen weight gain mostly on my gut so I was “Skinny Fat”. I started back to the gym, and then discovered LCHF and Intermittent Fasting which has been a wonderful blessing. As with many of other YouTube comments I have seen, I have experienced the gain in mental clarity and energy by implementing proper training, LCHF and IF. I am also a cancer survivor (10 years in remission) and have been concerned for a long time about eating healthy, but really did not know how to start. Now, I have the best tools to help keep a recurrence at bay. Thanks for all you do! God Bless you!

  • 16 and 8 intermitant fasting and Keto, 70# gone in 2 years and fit and thin now with many issues better.

  • The list of low carb foods are all quite high in fat. I cannot eat fat because I have IBS and it makes me quite unwell. This includes nuts. I’m also unable to drink dairy milk and nut milks. What do you suggest?

  • My experience of eating whole foods over a few months and strictly cutting out the processed junk has been that those processed items now no longer taste so great. I don’t even miss these items; in fact, many chips or snacks taste “fake” compared to an omelette or salad with avocado and organic vegetables. All that is to say that those go-to snacks with few actual nutrients do begin to lose their appeal when replaced with whole, nutrient dense foods.

  • I’m having such a hard time with my cholesterol. Everything is high. I have been in keto for almost two years. I know it can rise in the beginning but this has been too long. I am constantly arguing with my doc about this. He wants me on meds and I refuse for so many reasons. I have lost a lot of weight, feel great but am worried. I eat pretty faithfully keto. Always make my own foods. Cheat every once in a while but am pretty consistent. Always looking for new recipes. I don’t know what to do.

  • Dr. Becky packed a load of really important information into this video in just over 11 mins. That takes talent, because most presenters on this subject are interviewed for an hour and a half by some blog host, and ramble on and on, at the end of which their audience are none the wiser. Dr.Becky, you are a gem.

  • For me to lose weight I have had to control both. I have a lot of weight to lose. Lowering carbs & sugar is first on the list but I still need to watch calories.

  • I take a probiotic vitamin rich shake in the morning, then a Kachava shake at lunch. Healthy all vegetables and protein dinner. I drink a gallon of water daily and I use TRUE LEMON in it. I am 61. I am very active. I have put on 20 pounds since menopause. I cannot lose any weight. I am completely stuck!! What am I doing wrong.
