I wanted to give you guysa bit more of a background on me. Some of you might knowmy self-experiments, my overeating tough experimentswhere I ate 5000 cal a day. And I did thatwith three different diets. And basically the idea was, was that I'd eatdouble the amount I usually would, and see what happenswith those three different diets over 21 days, with a three-month washout periodin between. The first one was Low-carb Real Food and I ended up in a 47,000 cal surplus, which according to the calorie formulashould've equaled 6.1 kg. But in reality, I actually only put onjust over a kilogram, which is 2.2 pounds, and actually lost 3 cm from my waist,which is just over an inch. And then, experiment two,after that three-month washout period, low-fat fake food... you can see that. Again, I ended upin a 47,000 cal surplus, this is after exercise, protein,fiber, everything like that. Again should've been6.1 kg of weight gain. I ended up being 7.1 kg,which is approximately 16 pounds. And then, I put on 9.25 cm on my waist,which is just shy of 4 inches. And for a guy that's always beennaturally lean, yeah, that was interesting. And then experiment 3was very low-fat vegan. So, I ended upin just shy of 40,000 cal net surplus. And is quite interesting,following on from that last talk, I was actually eatingabout 150 g of fiber a day, so, I was regular. So, I should've gained 5.2 kg, ended up putting on 4.7 kg,still an substantial amount, and putting on 7.75 cm on my waist,which is approximately 3 inches. So, this kind of really set me up in terms of giving me the credentials to get in touchwith all of these doctors...
Sam Feltham is probably most known for his over-eating experiments on YouTube, but he is also devoted to the organization Public Health Collaboration. It’s an organization which strives to change the dietary recommendations, away from an excessive focus on dietary fat and towards more low-carb, real-food advice. But what do they do exactly? How are they contributing to changing the dietary guidelines? All this is addressed in Sam’s talk. Watch a new part of the presentation above, where he talks about what happens if you overeat on a low-carb diet. Link to full video: https://www.dietdoctor.com/happens-overeat-low-carb-diet
