Lol, read cancer and food. There are certainly foods that help breed cancer cells, I won't discuss it, if interested research.

When you build muscle-you burn fat though? By gaining lean muscle mass you increase your metabolism aka burn stubborn fat.
Also, people are pretty harsh here, geesh. I just needed an advice,which I got. I feel no need to continue getting responses here.

yet you continue to make outlandish claims about food which you don't support with research or evidence and then tell people to go research it themselves?7 -

P.S. Also I sleep in until 10-11 sometimes so that's why sometimes I have skipped meals.
eating low calories...incessant exercise and not fueling that exercise = lots of stress on the body and raised cortisol levels = inhibits fat loss.4 -

Sounds like something from someone who doesn't understand the difference between stomach PH and blood PH.
Prove me wrong and share some of the research.8 -

Not necessarily.By gaining lean muscle mass you increase your metabolism aka burn stubborn fat.
Yes, all else equal, someone with more muscle mass will burn more calories, but adding muscle doesn't result in that much of an increased burn (and you will burn less as you lose weight).
That said, it's good for you to add muscle and retain that you have, and apart from adding muscle strength exercises are really good for you in lots of ways.
Nothing to do with stubborn fat, sadly, that's a matter of where your body tends to store fat first and maintain in most consistently.5 -
A pound of fat burns about 2 calories per day. A pound of muscle burns about 6 calories per day. So if you put on 10 pounds of muscle (which is a significant amount of muscle) and lost 10 pounds of fat (which is a significant amount of fat), you'd burn an extra 40 calories per day. 40 calories per day.Foodorlife wrote: »elisa123gal wrote: »Less is more. you'll get advice all over the place here.

And "increase your metabolism" and "burn stubborn fat" are not synonymous.7 -

When I read the words "I have my own way of counting" on a MFP post from someone looking for answers to explain "no or little weight loss" , I just want to reach through the screen and say " you seemed to just answered your question yourself" to that person.
The more one fiddles with the mfp equation, in general the more it becomes a situation of that person not really working the mfp app as suggested by mfp. Just sayin'.6 -

Lots of good advice so far. Another tidbit. Unless you're working a second shift job, get yourself up and moving before 10-11. Do some reading, successful people tend to be up early.
Best of luck.7
And hey, keep up with this and I'm sure you can change your username to something more positive, once you found out how to eat food you like (in moderation) and life well.
