I’m not exactly sure of the solution. Just cut out the junk and exercise I guess.

Basically learned nothing from video, looks like a clickbait, since everyone in media is doing it nowadays.
Also in the past low calorie diets used to leave me brain dead, so I find that when I was measuring calories that was a good way to ensure that I don’t under eat too much increasing or reducing percentage of deficit or surplus.

I don’t count my calories anymore.
I basically eat well but I try not to overeat.
I’m not losing weight but I’m not gaining either.
My pdoc said that as long as I’m not gaining I’m fine.

Let me share what I’ve learn about calories in school.
1 calorie is the same as 4,18 joules and that’s the energy needed to raise 1℃ of 1 gram of water.
So although food as a lot of water there is more into it than H2O.
So in my opinion if you’re counting calories you’re just counting the water that is evaporating on your body from food intake.

that could certain account with fruits and veggies, but you need fat to absorb those nutrients. My grandfather was prescribed water pills and he lost 30 pounds.

Using the word calorie doesn’t indicate any understanding of the concept of a calorie.
It’s a very vague measure of chemical energy released in exothermic reactions. A calorie is measure of heat that can be gain via molecular interactions.
The are a lot of different molecules… and many of them are not easily burned… if burned at all.
Sugar, fat, carbs, proteins… is the burn order… if you are leaning towards sweets and fried foods or those foods with high amounts of saturated fats… you’re only burning the food that’s coming in… you can’t lose weight that way.
Another fun fact is that a Calorie(capital ‘c’) is equal to 1000 regular calories…
have fun counting that… you actually need 3 more zeros on the end of every stated Cal label.
