    wait... you replied to someone with "Oh, you are one of THOSE people" and you're lecturing others about how they respond to posts?

    Negative on that one... I responded "Oh, you are one of THOSE people" to the b****y comment... get some situational awareness. There was no lecturing. But read it as you wish...

    " tell me more about how my metabolism changes while I sleep" is a *****y comment??????

    Also you haven't yet answered clarifying which of the myths you think are realities.

    You perceived it as *****y... the comment didn't attack you as a person, it attacked an idea you put forward. Your comment was an ad hominem attack, i.e. directed at a person. That makes a huge difference.

    Yes... because of the context... which apparently you struggle to decipher...

    The idea that somehow not eating enough will make you GAIN weight. Um, I'm not for VLCDs, but how could that possibly happen?


    When people start exercising and gain or maintain weight and then someone tells them it's muscle. Um, no, you did not gain 2 pounds of muscle in one week.

    I perceived it as such based on the abrasive context... it doesn't make a huge difference when the content of the "attack on a belief" is condescending to the person who suggested it... and the "THOSE people" comment wasn't referring a those who disagree, it was referring to the people that will automatically post condescending replies to someone they disagree with....

    1. You can lose 5 lbs a day by jumping on a trampoline. :laugh:

    2. Pilates/yoga stretches your muscles to give a more lean appearance. :indifferent:

    Right. Great support for your argument. Well Done!

    I ALSO don't recall you supporting your "argument" either... just posted a B*****Y comment... but I must not realize your science background and all the studies you have done... should be a given.

    I didn't make an argument. I asked for clarification about yours.

    When I make an argument, I will back it up, unless I'm just theorizing - in which case I'll identify my thoughts as such.

    Clarifying which ones I believe are realities would be a waste of time... because either way it will be an argument. "I heard it on this show" or "I read a blog" or some sort of reason someone believes it is false based on what the "heard."

    Either way people will believe what they believe, regardless of facts or science, both directions... also based on what they perceive as facts or science... so it is pointless to argue with people who are not receptive to ones opinions if they initially disagree. I have mien you have yours... we are both entitled to them.

    Sigh.

    Look. If the idea was that your metabolism changed while you were sleeping, the advice would be "wait for an hour before you go to sleep" just like the old swimming myth.

    The reality is that it takes between 6 and 8 hours for your food to digest in your stomach and small intestine. This means that not eating after 6 would mean that you would need to wait until midnight or 2 am to go to sleep. I don't know about you, but I go to bed between 10:30 and 11.

    It's about 33 to 55 hours for it to go from consumption to elimination.

    I'm still waiting for the fact/science to support your POV.

    Post the science to back up your claims and people will consider them seriously. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of science. Nearly all the myths on the first couple of pages are myths. I would be interested in any scientific evidence proving them not to be. I go with what has the most scientific evidence. That means changing my opinion if necessary - but only when the weight of evidence warrants it.

    The alternate ways of credibly supporting one's arguments on MFP include
    *presence of ripped abs
    *quantity of punctuation
    *accurate spelling and grammar
    *level of butthurt

    However, to gain the most respect, links to peer reviewed articles are probably your best bet.

    ........plus the fact that if it was bad to eat within a certain number of hours before sleeping, then we'd better all get into time machines and warn all the Homo erectuses about that....... though I think it might be a bit difficult to explain the concept of "8pm" to a Homo erectus....




    ETA: Homo erectus mentioned twice in one thread for two different reasons... BINGO! :drinker: ..... next time I'm going for a hattrick!!
