Some of these diets that promise fast results actually offer it by the dieter not getting proper nutrition and end up losing more lean mass than fat (that's not a good thing by the way). Lean mass weighs 5 times more than fat, but lean mass is: Bones, organs, connective tissue, etc, basically all the things we want to keep hold of.
Focus on a balanced diet (enough protein), get a reasonable calorie defect and just be a little more patient.
Remember: slow progress, is still progress.
Good luck and save your money.
]Haha no it doesn't! a kilo of lean mass weighs the same as a kilo of fat!
To the OP i'm pleased you've seen through the 'nutritionist's' BS and decided to go about it the correct way. I'm a firm believer in the theory that the MFP diet doesn't mean you need to only eat healthy. You will lose weight if your daily calorie intake is made up purely of full sugar coke and doughnuts but you'll feel rubbish! Eat everything you want and if you decide you need a daily sugar hit go for it just account for it somewhere else in your meal planning. Personally I need the sugar hit so will have either an extra healthy/low cal lunch or dinner to give myself the room to have a bit of my g/f's cake or a bit of chocolate etc.
Did you really just say that?
Feathers weigh the same as steal then - A kilo of feathers weighs the same as a kilo of steal.
3500 calories burns 1 lb of fat
3500 calories burns 4.8lb of lean mass
Better!!!!!
Pretty sure you meant 'steel'. Unless you're robbing someone?
But ultimately yes, a pound is a pound just like a calorie is a calorie. But your original post said that lean mass weighs more than fat, without qualify any amount, leaving you open for exactly this kind of remark.
Your calorie burn equation also forgets to mention that during exercise, fat is targeted first for burning.
Yes I did mean steel (amended)
In the absence of adequate protein the cortisol surging through the body will strip away lean mass to convert into glycogen (which is my point of being wary of certain diets).
Regards being open for 'this kind of remark'. We will always be open from 'this kind of remark' from ignorant or pedantic people.
And now you stoop to name calling people in the forum, after you misspelled a word. No one called you any names for that, but you call names for a comment?
And I beg to differ on your cortisol comment. Unless a person is seriously lacking in protein, or pushing a mass amount of exercise, the lean muscle mass is safe.-1 -

That's twice now you've pointed out my spelling mistake (careful that's a forum violation)!
Not name calling - look up the definition of the word, I think it's accurate!
As to begging to differ, that's your prerogative!0 -

So you wouldn't be offended if someone called you ignorant or pedantic? They wouldn't be calling you names, they'd just be describing you?
Just looking for clarification.
We are going off topic, but if I made comments that fell into that category and I knew they were pedantic, no I wouldn't feel offended!
Hopefully that gives you some clarification!

My D.O. recommended this cleanse - which she sold to me for $24. That is 5 cents more than the price on line. Where your nutritionist came up with $250 is confusing. I imagine that there were a great deal of additional purchases as well.
The DO insisted that I maintain a clean diet and drink a lot of water during this, but that is all. Her diet recommendations include a lot of supplements, mostly in the form of raw vitamins and minerals. This along with a diet made up primarily of proteins and non-starchy veggies, with some added oils like olive, coconut and ground flax.
I have been on the diet for 2 weeks and will start the cleanse tomorrow, so I cannot give a personal opinion on it yet. Really, what I wanted to say is that I shared the opinions that many on this thread have voiced about doing a cleanse - as well as similar opinions about supplements. I certainly never thought I'd be taking 14 pills a day. Plus the 21 a day for a week that I will start tomorrow. But, after 12 years of doing it on my own - resulting in a gain of 20# - I figured it is time to do the outrageous and listen to a doctor. So I sought a DO with patients that show results.
Although I agree that there was something fishy about the $250 price tag, if not for that I would not try to dissuade a person from listening to their medical professionals. If I think of it, I will post my thoughts on the cleanse afterwards.
BTW, if anyone gets it in their head to correct the spelling and grammar on my post, please don't expect to get either a response or a rise out of me. It is boring.

You don't need to spend money to lose weight. MFP is free and I'm actively losing weight thanks to this app and the people on it. Please save your money, you don't need a 'cleanse'. Your body cleanses itself. Best of luck :]0
