Gauri Khan vs Tony — Instagram Profile Comparison

Twinkies = healthy? Not quite 🥲💔 Short term health improvements like this are not the same thing as long term health outcomes (i.e. please don’t do this at home lol) BUT, there are 3 lessons you can take from this experiment: 1. A calorie deficit isn’t *a* way you lose weight, it’s *the* way you lose weight 2. Simply losing excess body fat will probably do more for your health than any “optimal” diet would staying at a higher body fat level 3. And as terrifying as some influencers make certain “junk” foods sound for your health, there’s really no such thing as a “healthy” or “unhealthy” food, only a healthy or unhealthy diet as a whole Your diet only accounts for roughly ~20% of your overall health Things like your body composition, your strength, how active you are, your sleep, your stress, along with 100+ other things all go into it Now this is just one guy who did a self experiment, you can’t use this as evidence But there is PLENTY of research showing that simply reducing body fat levels, regaradless of how it’s done, improves so many different health metrics (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and lipid levels, CVD, insulin resistance, etc.) (all research linked below) ___ https://doi.org/10.7326/0003-4819-149-7-200810070-01004 PMID: 35457744 PMID: 28214525 PMID: 12055705 PMID: 21463847
