you’ll lose fat. But this is not an umbrella that dictates
this rule as fact/truth to everyone.
There are so many components that affect us such
as a person’s natural metabolism. Some of us have
an incredibly fast metabolism while others, sluggish.
That’s not even adding in the equation of supplements,
ancillaries, fat burners or pharmacology.
I have a client for example who is a figure competitor
with an insane metabolism who can eat an enormous
amount of food (carbs especially) and get shredded. I
have also had a super heavy weight bodybuilder that to
get shredded had to eat less than 2100 calories a day.
So we must take into great consideration what source
of calories, how many calories, who we are dealing
with and how their body is affected by all of the above.
To do this we must have an experienced information
resource that doesn’t just propagate fallacious rhetoric
of diets given to them then blanketed on to others. We
must run trial based analysis on how a person’s body
will individually respond to nutritional protocols to find
what fits best for them and this can also change as
the person gains more muscle, maintains a lean offseason
weight and doesn’t get overly fat. It’s a constant
tailoring of a person’s individual parameters that must
be always monitored.
There are good calories and bad calories certainly
and macros play a huge part in that as well but if you
want to be healthy if we want to have the best results
we can’t just look at these terms and apply a one size
fits all approach. Yes it may seem simple yet it is so
very specific and no matter what, there is no such
thing as one size fits all. One half cup of cooked rolled
oats yielding 25 g of carbohydrates is not going to do
the same thing as the same amount of carbohydrates
coming from chemically processed refined sugar.
