BUFFTITUDE LESSON #3 - When a Calorie is not a Calorie.

I have been made to realize that this lesson does a lot of ranting and raving, but I cannot write this lesson without ranting and raving. 50% of north america is overweight, and 33% are considered obese, and a major factor in all of this, is the Traditional medicine’s belief in this one statement.

“calorie is a calorie BECAUSE THE LAW OF PHYSICS SAY CALORIE IN - CALORIE OUT = WEIGHTLOSS OR WEIGHTGAIN ”. Therefore if people would just eat less, they would weigh less. I realize Einstein and his theory of relativity can account for everything, but first rule of science is, all the units must be the same, therefore calories in - calories out = difference in calories, not mass, heh heh heh.

Anyway, let’s assume 200 years from now, man does have the capability to calculate every single reaction in the human body, every single quantity of heat used and dissipated, every single component in and out and the temperature that they come in and leave out, and with the right fudge factor can turn an energy balance into a mass balance, heh heh heh. Assuming all of that, “calorie in - calorie out = weightloss or gain” and “a calorie is a calorie” are both separate energy statements totally and completely unrelated from a human body’s viewpoint. Combining the two statements is totally and completely false, and borders on immoral and unethical. Basically by combining the two statements, one is saying that because a calorie is a calorie, “calorie in” and “calorie out” are completely unrelated, and are independent of each other. Meaning the science of biology, microbiology, nutrition, chemistry, chemical engineering, metabolism, obesity are all non-factors and are bogus sciences with respect to weightloss, and only physics is the only applicable science. By the way, when did traditional medical doctors become physicists. Well the biggest mistake is starting with an energy balance and ending up with a mass balance, heh heh heh.

Combining the two statements is the underlying theme of “just eat less if you want to lose weight theory”. This is the program that the traditional medical establishment have been using for well over 30 years, and it has been failing year after year after year. Now why is this theory false, imcompetent, nonsense, stupid, inconsistent, unethical, immoral. When you think about this, please keep in mind the great lobbying and influential powers of coca-cola, pepsi, saralee, proctor and gamble, lever brothers, prescription drug community, burger king, mcdonald, pizza hut, ADM, and the list goes on and on and on.

Here are the 8 main reasons why this statement is completely false, and I will lead off the first two using the traditional medical communities very own statements.

1) A person must eat a well balanced diet by following the food pyramid. That statement alone contradicts “a calorie is a calorie because calorie in - calories out = weight loss or gain”. As for that food pyramid, who are they trying to fool.


a)Will someone please explain to me how anyone eating unprocessed foods, can consume 35% of their calories by fat(no substantiation here between saturated, trans-fatty acids, and poly/mono unstaurated fats) and only 10% of their calories by protein. How is it possible to get in 350% more calories of fat than protein eating a well balanced diet of unprocessed foods.


b)will someone please explain to me how eating the majority of one’s daily intake of calories in the form of processed carbs is ok with the food pyramid. How can a food pyramid that is supposed to guide people to eating properly can explain that it is okay to eat more processed carbs calories over the combination of caloric intake of vegetables, fruits, lean meats, 1% or skim milk products combined.


c)a person on a low restrictive diet of say 1000 calories, with only 10% protein by caloric intake, equals 100 calories by protein = 25 grams of protein for the day. Assume the maximum of 50% actually goes to rebuilding muscles, at the end of the year, 25grams/day x 365 days/year x 50% = 4564 grams or 10 lbs
(remember basic biology 101, every body cell is replaced and rebuilt by the body, bones every 18 months, blood every 6 weeks, and muscles every 12 months). 10lbs is the total amount of muscles mass a person will have at the end of the year. Also remember, if the body turns into a catabolic state, it will hold on to every ounce of fat it has, and completely ravage muscles as energy, then you’re in big trouble. Remember no muscles, total inability to exercise, no muscles means an incredible low metabolic rate, this is the explanation for yo-yo syndrome and plateauing.


2) One must eat three balance meals every day, and do not forget breakfast. Hhmmmmm, this doesn’t sound like a calorie is a calorie. If a calorie is a calorie, then please explain to me Traditional medical community, why the timing of the caloric intake matters. Well we all know the importance of spreading out our meals, and so does the traditional medical community, but they still insist on a calorie is a calorie.

3) The body is the most complexed structure man has ever come across. To suggest that a simple energy balance(and especially one that doesn’t exist) will explain weight loss or gain, is for doctors to venture into a combination of both physics and chemical engineering principles. There is no factory, no chemical plant, no building, nothing built my man that is balanced by such an energy equation. But yet the most complexed of all creation, can be balanced by a simple non-existant energy equation, yeah right. Listen, along with an energy equation, there will always be a mass balance equation, and even a mechanical energy equation. now a mass equation says that mass in - mass out = difference in mass, now that sound more plausible, they all have the same units. All of a sudden things are quite different, we now have to account for water, the air that we breathe, the micronutrients, ruffage from foods, water from foods, vitamins. As for any energy balance, temperature is the most important energy factor, water is the most important weight factor(for a human body), and chemical reactions determine what masses leave the body. However, this particular energy equation that does not account for any of these factors. There is not enough biology/chemistry/engineering/physics to determine either the amount of calories in, or calories out in a real energy equation(the real energy equation can be found at the end of this lesson). Listen, the next time someone tells you that weight loss is a simple energy balance, you ask them to calculate it for you, ask them to look up every single published textbook, and see if such a calculation can be done today, and I am not talking about this physics equation offered by the Traditional medical community, I am talking about a real energy balance equation. The combination of making three completely and separate mass, energy, and mechanical energy calculation balances is the fundamental of any chemical/physical process, well except for the human body according to traditional medical establishment where they start with an energy balance and end up with a mass balance, heh heh heh.

4)When poor wayne adds up calorie’in’ as doctors will add them up, they add up all the food calories a person intake, and that total will be very close to the amount of FOOD calories we take in. And that’s where poor wayne has gone wrong because poor wayne has left out the essences of making such a calculation. I am referring to Temperature, Chemical Reactions, and Water. Leaving out all these factors as in the “calorie in” calculation is let say, inappropriately too convenient.


a) Water, 1 Liter of water equals 1 food calorie, or 1 food calorie = 1000 energy calories.
b) Toxins, whether its measurable or not, it must be accounted for.
c) External inputs such as a body massage, heat from the sun.
d) Internal inputs(micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, spices, SALT, prescription drugs).
e) stress factors, and its impact on health, and the immune system.
f) output on life, motivator effects, faiths and beliefs.
g) Temperature


5) Poor Poor wayne, this is where wayne has absolutely no clue. Calories’out’ is mainly a factor of RMR-resting metabolic rate, and the exercise we do, plus our systems ability to get rid of the toxins and waste in our body. According to Wayne, whether the body consumes 5 calories of saturated pork fat with all the extra salt and preservatives, or 5 calories unsaturated virgin olive oil with all that efa protection, or 5 calories celery with all that extra ruffage and vitamins, or 5 calories of all that good wheat bran fibers that clears out the pipes, or 5 LITER OF WATER, the body processes all calories the exact same way because calories in - calories out = weight loss or gain. This is what the traditional medical community wants us to believe. Biology cannot even begin to know all the reactions that occur in the human body, much less to know the thermodynamics involved with these reactions period. So how can Traditional medicine even begin to assume to be able to calculate an energy balance, forgot the traditional medical did, and without the use of temperature, water, and chemical reactions, and ended up with a mass balance also, heh heh heh.


6)Calories expended by exercising is directly related to performance. The better our body can perform, then the more effective our workout in keeping our muscle mass, and the greater our caloric expenditure. Again poor wayne, to believe that when a person exercises, his type and timing of caloric intake has absolutely no effect on his ability to perform, is to say that the Science of Sports Medicine/Nutrition/fitness and exercising is bogus. To believe the type of caloric intake has no effect on the bodies ability to preserve/repair/rebuild/build lean muscle mass is to again say that the Science of sport medicine, sport nutrition, exercise and fitness, are all bogus sciences.


7)Resting Metabolic Rate. Again, resting metabolic rate is directly related to lean muscle mass, activity level during the day, and the body ability to heat up, and cool down. To suggest that the type of calorie in has no effect on a person’s metabolic rate is to say that all those good doctors/phd’s/researchers/professors/university research centers and clinics of the science of obesity is bogus. It also suggest that the relationship between resting metabolic rate and lean muscle mass is bogus science, and it also suggest the bodies ability to perform and its relationship to resting metabolic rate is also bogus.


8) A calorie is a calorie is an over simplification of science that cannot explain the effects of that the yo-yo syndrome or the fact that people on a very low restrictive caloric diet eventually plateau, and then do the yo-yo thingy. That is why the traditional medical profession still to this day, keeps putting people on these very restrictive caloric diets because the science they have been taught has no explanation for it and therefore dismisses the yo-yo syndrome and plateauing as we must simply must eat less calories to lose weight. And consequently ends up making people more and more obese.



Please note that I am not advocating or telling any of us how to lose weight, but I am pointing out the fallacy of Traditional medicine answer to losing weight by dieting, or eating less to lose weight. Eating less and less calories does not solve our weight problem, it never has and it never will. Eating properly, meaning unprocessed foods, 5-6 times a day is what I refer to as properly, one factor of such a lifestyle eating change means not just lower calories, but also more fibers, more lower glycymic carbs. more ruffage, better protein, lower saturated fats, higher unsaturated fats, more vitamins, more minerals, more anti-oxidants, etc etc etc.

I won’t even bother delving into exercise since the most traditional medical schools does not even teach exercise courses, as a matter of fact, most don’t teach nutrition or preventative medicine neither, and they certainly do not teach the theory of relativity. The statement of “a calorie is a calorie because physics say calorie in - calories out = weight gain or loss” is the basis of this crazy idea that eating less and less will make us weigh less and less.

Another note I would like to say or to bring up is I do not possess the answers, but I know what makes sense to me and what doesn’t. With 30 Failing years of telling people how to loss weight, one would think the Traditional medical community would look towards their medical cousins in Sports Medicine(who concentrates on fat loss as opposed to weight loss), Preventative Medicine (who concentrate on overall moderate lifestyle changes), University Obesity Clinics and Research Centre(who deals with obesity as a disease and health issue), nutrition, metabolism, etc etc etc. for help. And from my readings, I firmly believe the combination of these other progressive medical doctors and researchers have the answers you seek.

So foxy, the next time you see wayne, please ask him if the sciences of sport medicine , nutrition, obesity medicine, rehab medicine, preventative medicine, holistic medicine, oriental medicine. eastern medicine good old chemistry, good old biology, and for you foxy-microbiology, human metabolism, engineering, chemical engineering, if all these sciences are bogus. Ask him to explain the yo-yo syndrome and plateauing?

Please ask him if he knows what a mass balance is? as a matter of fact, what an energy balance is? And please let him know, that 50 calories a day equals like he said .5 lbs a month, which equals 6 lbs per year, 60lbs over ten years, and 120 lbs over 20 years. So foxy, please ask him again if he wants to take back his statement that 50 calories a day means nothing. And ask him again, if the type of calories matters to the body.

And for the granddaddy of them all, here is the actual definition of an energy balance:
The rate of heat liberation or absorption expressed as a function of the reaction rate and various thermal properties of the reaction system(in this case the human body) is obtained from an energy balance

There.... thats number three finished with.... Interesting isnt it....
