There’s no food that makes you burn calories instead of absorbing them.

Most vegetables are far less calorie dense than virtually all other foods. In addition, plants and fungi are high fiber foods. Fiber is well known to promote satiety, being a natural way to promote our own body’s expression of glp-1 hormones.
One of the biggest challenges in weight loss is that most people’s appetites are survival machinery evolved to avoid starvation at all costs in environments that may potentially be lacking in food - but we now live in an industrial environment that not only has removed all the ways we would normally get exercise naturally through physical labor; but has surrounded us at every angle by extremely calorie dense junk food that’s specifically formulated to be addictive and hijack that survival machinery.
Exercise is important but you can’t out-exercise a bad diet, and starvation (which is exactly what a calorie deficit is) does not work either. Any method that works has to be able to deal with our toxic food environment. That’s why the glp-1 drugs are popular even though they tend to plateau. And that’s why vegans tend to average the lowest body weight of any dietary group.

Ah btw, why do they group fruits and veggies together? Fruits are also relatively calories dense.
And also corn, wtf. Corn is potato and beans category.
While i agree with your point (exercise or not, you’d need to chanhe your meal lan to lose weight), that graphic has issues.

Can you elaborate on the calorie deficit not working part? Because calorie deficit is pretty much the only way to lose weight as the body will make up that deficit by using it’s own fat stores.

So you’d need 4 stomachs full of vegies per day?
Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Pretty sure lettuce is one.
zeroConnection@programming.dev 2 months ago
There are about 150 kcal in a litre of lettuce smoothie

Celery?

I always thought so because a very reliable man in the pub told me it, but it turns out not to be the case.

What about ice?

In order to avoid having to list exceptions to the above posts statement, you are now required to sprinkle a bit of sugar on every icecube you consume.

I had a coworker who would ask me every time she saw me eating a salad “Decided to eat healthy today?” And I was like “Goddamn, do you see all this ranch? I just like leafs, yo.”

Why eat fiber when there’s gum karaya? Why stop smoking when there are iron lungs??

For the love of the shakes

I regularly make smoothies as a breakfast replacement. They’re adapted from Brooke Goldner’s green smoothies, but altered to be more of a meal in itself. Can’t give exact numbers because I just eyeball it, but I densely pack dark green leafy vegetables til it’s about 40% full (the more variety of leafies the better), rolled oats, pumpkin seeds or walnuts, frozen mixed berries (again variety is best), ground flax seed, and raisins or dates to sweeten.
I make this for health benefits as well as the convenience of a fast breakfast, and yet it just so happens to taste great too. Stop believing the nonsense that it has to be either one or the other.

Is that a metal straw? I wonder how hard it would be to clean one of those.
electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Easy. You get nice little brushes like a pipe-cleaner.
Syndication@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Oh, right! Thanks, I was asking because I have wanted to get one.
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
as much as I care about the environment, I’m too autistic to have a cold metal straw in my mouth
mikezeman@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
The metal straws I own came with a brush that’s the right size to clean them.
Syndication@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I don’t know why I forgot pipe cleaners didn’t exist. My bad. I have been wanting to pick up one haha

Depends on how many calories you’ve burned and how many you’ve eaten. It could be a break-even smoothie, you don’t know
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Unless you ran to a farm to milk a cow, then to a different farm to pick the fruit and back home, it’s very unlikely to be close to break even.

Broken_Orange_Juice@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I make a strawberry “icecream” like smoothie purely for enjoyment, but it’s also just 200g strawberries 100g milk and like a tbsp of honey and it is low calorie high fiber yet I still eat it when i’m not trying to lose weight
