Its not really true. Half the time it goes down half the time it goes up.
dabadoo··on Amper raises $4M to use AI to write music
That's true only for a selection of music, even if its a large part.

I personally don't care. I just want to listen to something that sounds good.

Yes my mistake. 13k calories is roughly 4 pounds.

>Hormones play an important role in how much fat is stored and how much your metabolism burns. And the type of food you eat can affect your hormones.

It doesn't matter if 100% of the calories he ate was turned into fat.

>how much your metabolism burns.

Eating sugar causes your metabolism to slow down by 4x? You'd die.

Kcals in/out is literally the conservation of mass.

Increasing fat synthesis doesn't mean your body can magically make up mass.

Bioavailability of calories isn't relevant here. There literally is not enough energy in that amount of sugar. Why does it matter if 80% of the available calories is absorbed of 90%?

"Insulin levels - when insulin levels are high energy is stored as fat."

It doesn't matter where energy is stored. 100% of it could have gone to fat.

Weight gain is impossible without the necessary amount of calories. It is the simple law of conservation of mass/energy.

160 calories * 21 days = 3360 calories. This is enough to gain about 1 pound of weight, not 19.

It is a matter of calories in calories out.

He didn't just increase his concentration of fat, he straight up gained 8.5 kilograms of mass.

The math does not add up.

40 grams of sugar does not have enough calories for you to gain 3 kilograms in 12 days, or 8.5 kilograms in 21 days.

Moreover, if he ate as much as the average American eats, how is it that the average American has not experienced what he has? The guy almost gained 1 pound a day.
