What to say, on my site, and by listening to my videos, you will be able to understand who I am and what I do. "I believe that to know yourself it takes at least 2 hours of reading a day"(Berkeley). "One of the biggest mystifications that modern food science has managed to perpetrate is to pass the concept of calories burned in training and gained in diet. I have been explaining during my courses for years that organisms are not "ovens" that burn food, but complex structures that act according to the principles of biochemistry. Each food ingested does not simply develop heat, but activates specific metabolic pathways (mainly hormonal, but not only) which result in specific biochemical cascade reactions. Hence, 100 Kcal of Proteins, 100 Kcal of fat or 100 Kcal of carbohydrates if burned in a calorimetric bomb always produce the same thermal response, but if introduced into our body, since they follow different metabolic pathways, they produce very different responses. differences that in the first case predispose to weight loss, in the second case they tend to be neutral and in the third case to gain weight. Furthermore, the type of carbohydrates (low and high glycemic index), amino acids constituting the protein sources and fats, in turn, produce different effects. From what has just been said it follows that the extreme simplification adopted to date to explain the organic response to food (essentially the use of the concept of calorie) generates extreme confusion and inability to solve the many problems related to the change in body composition, as well as the definition of an ideal diet according to the individual goals."
