Anyone heard of this guy, he ate a 6000 calorie LCHF (keto) diet for 21 days, his projected weight should have been like 16 pounds, but he only gained 3, heres whats mentioned in a book I read this week

Quote:


The Overfeeding Paradox

Sam Feltham, a qualified master personal trainer, has worked in the U.K, health-and-fitness industry for more than a decade. Not accepting the caloric-reduction theory, he set out to prove it false, following the grand scientific tradition of self-experimentation. In a modern twist to the classic overeating experiments, Feltham decided that he would ingest 5794 calories per day and document his weight gain. But the diet he chose was not a random 5794 calories. He followed a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet of natural foods for twenty-one days. Feltham believed, based on clinical experience, that refined carbohydrates, not total calories, caused weight gain. The macronutrient breakdown of his diet was 10 percent carbohydrates, 53 percent fat and 37 percent protein. Standard calorie calculations predicted a weight gain of 16 pounds(7.3 kg). Actual weight gain, however, was only about 2.8 pounds (1.3 kg). Even more interesting, he dropped more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from his waist measurement. He gained weight, but it was lean mass.

Perhaps Feltham was simply one of those genetic-lottery people who are able to eat anything and not gain weight. So, in the next experiment, Feltham abandoned the low-carb, high fat diet. Instead he ate 5793 calories per day of a standard American diet with lots of highly processed "fake" foods. The macronutirent breakdown of his new diet was 64 percent carbs, 22 percent fat and 14 percent protein -- remarkably similar to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. This time, the weight gain almost exactly mirrors that predicted by the calorie formula -- 15.6 pounds (7.1 kg). His waist size positively ballooned by 3.6 inches (9.14 CM). After only three weeks Feltham was developing love handles.

With the same person and with an almost identical caloric intake, the two different diets produced strikingly different results. Clearly, something more than calories is at work here since diet composition apparently plays a large role. The overfeeding paradox is that excess calories alone are not sufficient for weight gain -- in contradiction to the caloric-reduction theory







What does everyone think about this, I want to try it, eat way to much low carb but real natural foods, and see what happens

So many factors at play and I think you can't take the results of one person at face value. I don't doubt his results or anything, but I think it would be very easy to adopt a similar diet and not exercising in the same way for example or eating at the correct frequency and it being too much to take on.

They are correct, calorie intake has almost nothing to do with weight gain.  It's what you eat, not how much.

Really it all comes down to insulin, and what spikes insulin - carbs.

Eat foods that spike your insulin, and insulin surrounds your fat molecules, preventing your body from using fat (it's preferred source) for energy.  Without fat for energy, it will have to use - you guessed it - more carbs.  That's why grain based diets have us constantly feeling hungry when our bodies are not.

That's why the meat/vegetable natural foods diet actually works not only for losing/maintaining weight, but also for health in general.
