    I'm pretty sure that it has now been scientifically proven that it is impossible for anyone to lose weight ever. This is pretty much just a social forum now. :D

    Meh, you gotta take the good with the bad here as well as anywhere. If you don't want advice I suppose you don't have to ask for it?

    Yep, you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have, the facts of life. The facts of life.

    You show me a fitness study, I'll show you a contradicting one. For your body, its trial and error. Once you find what works for your body, stick with it until it stops working. What works for me, may not work for you, but there's only one way to find out. "Bro-Science" is still based off of something and if it legitimately worked for someone, it might work for you.

    I just got this from a girl at the gym 20 mintues ago and I just about snapped!! I won't get into the actual discussion, but bascially I told her what I was doing at the moment, something that I have researched thoroughly and decided to use for myself. She flat out told me "well you will not lose weight doing that" blah blah blah.... I really saw red! I really distrust people who talk in aboslutes about something they've never even looked into, because some bro-science article in cleo told them so... arggghhhhhhhh

    but does anyone else get 'turned off' by all of the 'bro-science'?

    Yes indeed.

    I had never heard of "eating back your exercise" or "eating your BMR" until venturing into these forums. Although a lot of folks are using this site for dieting the forums are coming over as too meathead / bro science for me. The tools for tracking food etc are quite handy, the forum less so.

    There are some positively weird behaviours exhibited too, would make an interesting study. Try discussing a diet of 1000 calories a day that meats all your macro and micro nutrient requirements and you'll see what I mean.
