Why did this get unsticked? WTF
Because they feel it's necessary to rotate new stickys in like that super duper awesome thread on super helpful tips like "don't take money to work".
Then we ask why things are done like that we get ignored and the thread gets closed. Who should make the decision on which threads are sticky worthy? People that are on this site daily using it or people that work at MFP that aren't even giving out advice?
Not only did they ignore us, they deleted a good chunk of our comments about how unhelpful that "super helpful" thread is.0 -

What about alcohol? Is it ok to have as long as I stay in my caloric deficit or should I give it up completely? Thanks!
Metabolically speaking alcohol and caffeine will inhibit fat burning. Note that this occurs on a molecular level. Caloric deficit is the primary driver; however alcohol and caffeine with reduce the impact, not eliminate it, but reduce your fat burning potential.
IMHO the good far outweighs the bad

Wow I didn't notice they deleted stuf . I thought they just closed it. I don't get what is so hard about explaining the logic behind it? This site is for the members, aren't we the members as well? Seriously, I would love to know who thought "This super helpful thread us great, let's make it a sticky". It's a clear representation of how the desire to have accurate information out there doesn't outweigh the desire to make it a super supportive environment.
I'm sure that some of us that are airing our frustration with this whole thing will be reprimanded because we aren't allowed to question their actions at all.
I have been shying away from the forums lately because of crap like this.0 -

I suspect this is a lot like my philosophy on supplements.
Far to many people spend to much time worrying about minor details when they should work harder and tighten up their diet more.
The bulk of the population can achieve their goals through broad stroke basics- calorie deficit- and getting their sweat on at home or in the gym.0 -

There isn't much research into adipose tissue apoptosis (fat cell death). Most of the research out there is inconclusive about long term implications, but researchers have observed necrosis of adipose tissue. Mice studies (which do not necessarily translate to humans) show that fat cells over time will die and not be rejuvenated. Most of these mice studies are the reason why CLA is often suggested as a weight loss aid. I personally think there's hope that we can reduce the number of fat cells over time through maintaining a leaner body, but I don't know to what degree that might happen.
The bulk of clinical evidence is that your personal number of adipose tissue is established in adolescence and you'll have about the same number of cells thanks to programmed cell death. By all scientific evidence it's more a matter of cellular response holding reserve.

Since I can't access the actual study there is no knowing how long the research was done. If it was a year versus five years or twenty years that would make a difference. Mice have shorter life cycles than humans, which is why they have studied their fat cell turnover and apoptosis. Adipose tissue apoptosis (not just necrosis) has been observed in humans, so that suggests that the study you linked was not done over a long time frame.0 -

I know I originally opened this particular can of worms but I prefer to think of my "fat loss" as the cute little adipose aliens from Dr. Who...

The young Adipose would grow, collecting fat from around the body. Every night, the Adipose would then be born and leave the body"... They are pretty darn cute and they just plop off of you while you sleep and happily waddle away into the night...[/img]0
