My concern is that when I, an RN responded to someone here about her concerns about her belly fat, he did not like it at all. I just asked her "if she was avoiding simple sugars, except those found in fruits, veggies and dairy"? Sublog responded this way:SUBLOG
Hi thank you for your offer and first let me congratulate you for such an amzing weight loss success! Awesome, with that said, may I ask what qualifications you have to give an informative and well documented answer for your questions>? Are you a certfied personal trainer, nutrition specialist or simply the guy next door that lost a bunch of weight and is willing to help others in their journeys?
Please don't find offense in what I am saying...it is just that by you stating that you will answer anything and then reading how you eat and the lack of nutrients from vegeatbles you state you don't have it leads me to believe that perhaps you are not the most qualified to offer nutrition and exercis einformation, unless of course you are certified with nationally recognized entities and perhaps you might want to share which? This can created a sense of trust in the information you provide to hundreds of hopefuls out there looking for help.
You are an inspiration but I would like for you to post your qualifiications to answer specific questions...Thanks so much!
"Stop making sweeping statements about sugars. All carbs are broken down to glucose (except for fiber). Sugar is not bad for weight loss while in a calorie deficit. Please stop posting about sugar in this thread. There are plenty of other threads you can talk about sugar in".
I would have to say, he is simply the guy next door who is very lucky, as I agree, his answers, his diet, and his sarcasm are not of those of a professional. And not of one I would model.
As a RN, can you tell me specifically how simple sugars can prevent losing belly fat, esp while in a hypocaloric state?0 -
Well poo poo, I was learning a lot from reading this. Too bad a few have to ruin it!
Thank you so much Sublog for the information and sharing your knowledge. I have found the more I learn the less I know

To the RN and the other naysayers.....Sublog started this thread saying that he was NOT an expert....he was simply sharing what worked for him. Based on his weight loss, (which is why we are ALL here....) I think he is speaking from good experience.
While I agree not everyone can have the same results taking the same course...it does help to get helpful advice from others that are where you want to be.
Some doctors/nutritionists will agree with what he says, I am sure....and, I am sure some would disagree as well. Here's a newsflash...if this were easy, we would all be perfectly fit and therefore would have no need for this site!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I am off my box now...I just think some need to step off Sublog...he never claimed to be a professional...just a success story.0 -

Hello, thank you so much for doing this. I have a question.
I am 29
5'5
SW 183
CW177.8
GW155
I have been tracking my calories and exercising at least 5 days a week (rockin' body right now) for almost 2 months now and during this time I have only lost 5 pounds. I do not count my calories one day a week but I do watch what i eat I don't overeat or anything like that on that particular day.
My current level is set to sedentary and MFP gave me 1460 calories a day to lose 1 pound per week. I do eat most of my exercise calories back which I track with a chest strap HRM.
Do you think this is a good calories intake and if not what should I be doing? My issue is that I feel like I am not losing weight consistently every week. Do you think I am doing something wrong? Please help
Why do you eat back the calories you have burned? A pound is 3500 calories, this means you should eat your 1460 everyday and you must burn at least 3500 calories weekly to see a pound loss. You do this by exercising, writting down how much you burned and keeping track of it. This means that you need to burn atleast 500 calories every single day through exercise for 7 days to loose one pound.
And if you choose to exercise only five times a week you would need to burn at least 700 calories through exercise daily. It is recommended people exercise between 5 - 7 hours a week.
The day you don't count calories you should be exercising to make sure you don't eat and store over 1460 calories.
It is advised to add more exercise before cutting back their calories...
Can you please give me your qualifications to be making these statements - your degree and medical qualification details will do.0 -

IDK why, but I had the impression he'd gotten a cert. Blah. Oh well! I still like input. :happy:0 -
Im not sure where he said he was not an expert? Can you quote where he said he was not an expert? That's ok, he's got experience, and if he can help a few, that's awesome. Im just saying what I have learned. Im not trying to "ditz on him" like he did to me telling me off when I simply asked a person if she had looked at her sugar intake. That was simply that. Read back and see. And for those who want a "link' to some scientific information supporting the fact that eliminating simple sugars can reduce belly fat, here ya go.

Read down to the bottom of this page.
My concern is that when I, an RN responded to someone here about her concerns about her belly fat, he did not like it at all. I just asked her "if she was avoiding simple sugars, except those found in fruits, veggies and dairy"? Sublog responded this way:SUBLOG
Hi thank you for your offer and first let me congratulate you for such an amzing weight loss success! Awesome, with that said, may I ask what qualifications you have to give an informative and well documented answer for your questions>? Are you a certfied personal trainer, nutrition specialist or simply the guy next door that lost a bunch of weight and is willing to help others in their journeys?
Please don't find offense in what I am saying...it is just that by you stating that you will answer anything and then reading how you eat and the lack of nutrients from vegeatbles you state you don't have it leads me to believe that perhaps you are not the most qualified to offer nutrition and exercis einformation, unless of course you are certified with nationally recognized entities and perhaps you might want to share which? This can created a sense of trust in the information you provide to hundreds of hopefuls out there looking for help.
You are an inspiration but I would like for you to post your qualifiications to answer specific questions...Thanks so much!
"Stop making sweeping statements about sugars. All carbs are broken down to glucose (except for fiber). Sugar is not bad for weight loss while in a calorie deficit. Please stop posting about sugar in this thread. There are plenty of other threads you can talk about sugar in".
I would have to say, he is simply the guy next door who is very lucky, as I agree, his answers, his diet, and his sarcasm are not of those of a professional. And not of one I would model.
As a RN, can you tell me specifically how simple sugars can prevent losing belly fat, esp while in a hypocaloric state?0 -

Under "Now for the Good News" It says, "Diet is also important. Pay attention to portion size, and emphasize complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and lean protein over simple carbohydrates such as white bread, refined-grain pasta, and sugary drinks". But I have also put other links up.

I never said he was insinuating it. Never once. You said that he said he was not an expert. You said, ".Sublog started this thread saying that he was NOT an expert." Maybe someone else insinuated he was not an expert? Several have asked for his credentials. I said he "got experience" I have complimented him. But he scolded me about my remarks about sugar. I apologized. Im only chiming in now because someone else asked him for his credentials. I felt a bit insulted by his remark to me, but didnt say anything for a bit. So I simply said I was an RN, here's a few links and what I have learned about the correlation between sugar and belly fat. And that is really that. I guess if you read after page 8, you could see I was only chiming in my opinion.
