What is going on? I have warriors. So we have another video here of intermittent fasting
doesn't work. You guys love these videos. So we got to do this. We got to react. We got to react,
right? So anyways, we're going to look at this video here. Let's see if we can pull it up.
Here we go. We're going to look at this video here, which is not really a video. It's just a
person doing squats and with music, which we're not going to play, but we'll read this instead,
right? We could read it. It's okay. If you hear my voice reading it and basically I'm doing the
video that I'm reacting to, right? Right. We're good. Intermittent fasting does not work. Y'all
will literally starve yourselves instead of just eating better and eating more food.
So how do you eat more food? If you are trying to lose weight, you have to eat less food, right? So
if you eat a certain amount of calories and you're a certain amount of weight, you have to eat less
than that. You just have to, you can't eat more food. You can't eat more energy. You can't eat
more calories. Could you eat bigger portion, bigger meals of like low calorie stuff? Yeah,
you could do that, but you can't eat more calories and lose weight. That just can't happen. So the,
whatever you're trying to say in this statement here, it just doesn't make any sense. Scientifically,
you have to be at a caloric deficit. Some of y'all already don't eat enough food. So you're
already seriously under eating and then fasting for multiple hours a day. Put your body in
starvation mode. Now this to me, I always see as a somewhat jab at the community that, at the
people who have the eating disorder community, right? When people say this is because they think
that, well, if you're doing intermittent fasting, you must have some sort of an eating disorder
already because you have to have an eating disorder to want to do intermittent fasting.
When in reality, that is not the case. It doesn't mean that you have an eating disorder because
you're doing intermittent fasting, just you're using intermittent fasting as a tool to lose
weight. The same way you're counting calories as a tool to lose weight, right? Everyone has to have
some sort of a tool to lose weight if they've gained weight. You just have to. It's not going
to just happen by itself. You got to create some sort of an intervention. For a lot of people,
they choose to do intermittent fasting. And if they're under eating already and then they choose
to do intermittent fasting, then they're not really choosing intermittent fasting for weight loss,
are they, right? So it already, this is how it doesn't, how can it not work if the thing that
you're referring to is weight loss when they're already under eating and they should already be
at a low weight, right? Because that's how it works. Calories, the less calories you eat,
the lower your weight is going to be. That's just how it works. And what does the body do
in starvation mode? It holds onto fat to protect the body. That's not how starvation modes work.
It doesn't hold onto fat to protect the body. It drains the body of energy and does more harm
than, okay, so calories is energy. So this is what, and people will put this in there and people
will just be like, yo, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. But calories are
energy. So if you're saying that it's holding onto energy, how is it holding onto energy,
then also draining the energy at the same time, right? It's draining you of energy,
but it's also holding onto it because that's what calories are. They're energy, right?
So it's a thing that this is like what the fear-mongering stuff that's just out there,
right? Oh, you're starving yourself. You're losing all your energy while also not losing
all your energy somehow by breaking science. I don't know, but it's happening to you
because all of these things have to be happening to you because you're doing intermittent fasting.
Guys, be wary of videos like this. They don't really know what they're saying. They're going
off of the kind of the bro science or the common talking points of the common
conversations that are had that not based on studies at all. When you go into starvation,
your body's not going into starvation mode because you're not eating every moment of the day.
If you do a 16-8 diet or intermittent fasting regimen and you're eating, let's say 3,500
calories, 4,000 calories, you could have eaten those 4,000 calories spread throughout the day.
At the end of the day, you still just ate 4,000 calories. I just ended up eating it at a shorter
time frame and you ended up eating it in a much larger one where you spread it out
more. We still ate the same amount of calories that day. Who's starving? No one's starving.
Guys, calm down. Your body cannot eat for 16 hours and be okay. Your body cannot eat for 16
hours and be okay. Anyways, just wanted to touch on this video here. Hopefully, this video has
