Weigh yourself, drink a gallon of zero-calorie water, weigh yourself again.
Too simplistic? Okay, try drastically increasing or decreasing your salt intake and keep all other factors the same - you'll see a weight change from water retention.
Again too simplistic? Okay, try substituting 500 calories a standard diet with 500 calories of celery. Note that even keeping all other factors constant, you lose more weight with the celery.
- WorldMaker 10y agoDon't forget too that there fun things on the market like "zero-calorie soda". If there is a simple proof that a calorie is not a calorie, it's that an oxymoron like "zero-calorie soda" is even possible, that the metric even allows for such an edge case/loophole [1]. [1] Because the sugar replacements are artificial 'plastics' that apparently don't burn when set on fire; how can that possibly be healthy?
