Diet and Heart
This is the president of the World Heart Federation. In the cardiology circle, this is THE GUY when it comes to cardiac epidemiology. Anyways, this talk gets to the point. These are the evidence based trends of healthy eating. It doesn't explore the nuances of dietary categories (eg, red meat is all lumped into one…

Are all calories equal part 2 - Kevin's Halls new study
As a follow up to Kevin Halls last study (found in this thread) I wanted to post his more research papers further addressing whether an isocaloric low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD) is associated with changes in EE, respiratory quotient (RQ), and body composition. Reference: http://sci-hub.cc/10.3945/ajcn.116.133561…

Cold turkey
I have seen a lot of posts talking about not cutting some foods out of your diet completely, and not labelling any foods "bad" foods and allowing all things in moderation, as long as you track them. So I thought I'd share my story...which many will disagree with, but it is what it is. I've lost over 50kg in the last year,…

Calories VS. Nutriants
I usually have 600-800 calories left in my goal when I already reach my fat/carb/Suagr etc. goals. Should I not worry about that and just get my calories in?

Recommendation #1 for Cancer Prevention
http://www.aicr.org/reduce-your-cancer-risk/recommendations-for-cancer-prevention/recommendations_01_weight.html?referrer=https://www.google.ca/ When we read about it in the newspaper, it magically becomes being within the healthy range of BMI (for most with regular size/muscles) If we take that recommendation to the…

Juicing?
My husband thinks that juicing is much better than eating fruits and veggies. I eat my fruits and vegetables daily and track my calories. My husband is a terrible eater but thinks since he juices, this will help with his health. He always asks me if I want a juice but I decline because I don't like drinking my calories and…

Rapid weight loss from being sick?
Battling a bad cold virus with nasal congestion. I'm forcing myself to drink and eat a lot during the process (1500 -1600 calories) but I lost 3lbs over night (really felt bad last night) (6lbs in a week) with little exercise (just doing push-ups, abs and squats). - hr went from resting heart rate of 60 to the 100's+…

Building muscle on a deficit
Ok, so I know I'm entering the lion's den, but I am really curious. We all know the principle of CICO. Cut calories and you force your body to burn fat stores to make up for the body's requirements. Add cardio, body's requirements increase, burn more fat stores. Why do we claim that we can't build muscle on a deficit.…

BMI calculations...
Hi everyone, This has probably already been discussed but I would like to ask those in the know if BMI calculations are accurate? I have read a few articles recently that speak negatively about them, even going as far to say that they are completely pointless. I'm just starting out trying to get fit and healthy and am…

Advice on Recomp for Female (from female preferably)
Hi! Well I reached my number goal awhile ago. About 5 months I lost 50lbs and extra 15 since then. Now I'm sitting comfortably in the middle of the healthy bmi but I still have fat I'd like to lose and muscle I'd like to gain. How did you do it? Should I watch my macros more? Did you set your food to maintain, lose, or…

How to you tell someone they need to lose weight?
I work in the medical field and at least 50% of my patients are overweight if not obese. It is a crisis in the US and most of the Westernized countries. We counsel them on smoking and alcohol, but what about weight? What is your reaction to someone or a medical practitioner telling you to lose weight? Most of the responses…

Return of the grizzly?
This has been a controversy for years here. Following the listing of the Lower 48 grizzly population under the Endangered Species Act in 1975, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identified the North Cascades and five other areas—Yellowstone, Selkirk, Cabinet-Yaak, Bitterroot and the Northern Continental Divide— as grizzly…

Searching for foods
Can someone explain to me why sometimes it shows a dash - under all the carbs, fiber ext under certain things? Like I just put in herbalife Tagalong shake. It shows the calories and protein but nothing else. I know it has carbs

Why do MFP people get so upset?
I'd like to hear your opinion on this. I'd been doing research on how to lose weight out of desperation to lose weight. Throwing up after eating no longer worked. I ate frozen/processed/ fast food on the go. That's how I gained a lot of weight. Overeating was never my problem. I never binged or obsessed with food. So I…

Best Beverages for Teens
What are the best beverages for teens? Juice, soda, and energy drinks often contain a lot of sugar and sometimes loads of caffeine. Diet beverages contain sugar substitutes. Obviously water is a good choice, but other than water what say you?

Inflammation
Inflammation seems to be a trending buzzword but I'm a little confused as to what it means/covers. Does the one term mean what I think of as internal inflammation such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and dementia as well as joint issues? Do the same diet and exercise recommendations cover all types of inflammation?

Best time to drink red wine?
I drink one to two glasses of red wine a day. Since I am female one glass is probably better but anyway does anyone have an opinion on when is the best time of day to drink wine for the healthiest benifits, i.e. weight loss?

Mono-Diglycerides
Should we avoid Mono-Diglycerides? I see they are common emulsifier, like in peanut butter. I did a quick search on Google and found several articles which claim that they're no better than Trans fat. Is it true? Links: http://www.stopkillingmykids.com/monoglycerides-diglycerides/…

Partaking in Marijuana and a healthy life-style
This may be controversial. Do you take part in usage of medical or recreational marijuana and if yes, do you find your munchies to hinder your weight loss, do you use before working out? Do you think it helps? If you do get the munchies what do you eat in order to not gain weight? OR are you a lucky person who doesn't get…

Kids weight issue?
I am putting this in the debate section because I would like to hear everybody's differing opinion on this subject. A few year ago I had a neighbor who's 9 year old had a weight problems (maybe a candidate for childhood obesity but I can't be 100% sure as I didn't know her actual weight). The mother had suffered from…

So. What's the worst weight loss myth?
My vote is starvation mode. But there are so many good myths out there that are a hinderance to healthy weight loss that it might be fun to put them all in one place, argue about them and decide which is the worst of all.
