    Good article! My take away here is that losing weight boils down to eating less and exercising more. Correct?

    You made some good points. I just need to be diligent in measuring and logging everything I eat.

    I think I am definitely more diet resistant than I was 30 years ago.

    But if I eat 4 more calories than I'm allowed, I gain 23lbs of fat and have to restrict down another 1000 calories to get rid of it!

    The more I see from this Lyle McDonald guy, the more I know he is just spreading more bro-science.

    Here's three reference that disprove his theory that it's impossible to gain muscle mass while eating at a deficit:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2662322

    http://ukpmc.ac.uk/abstract/MED/3533812/reload=0;jsessionid=MEU4b8RAmpXNvw1jazad.0

    http://jap.physiology.org/content/79/3/818.short

    There are more if you actually care to look instead of just believing what you read on some guys blog.

    By the way, this phenomenon has NOTHING to do with thermodynamics (or actually everything). He, and you seem to be forgetting that obese people are walking around with thousands and thousands of excess calories readily available for use when needed. There is no physiological reason why these calories are any different than those we eat. As long as obese individuals have sufficient protein and amino acid intake (the requirements of which are easy to do while eating at a deficit), it's not only possible, but in fact likely for an obese person new to resistance training to ADD to lean body mass.

    Frankly, I think THIS may well be one of the reasons behind some of the "plateaus" people always complain about here. Though I will add that since most of them never bother to check their LBM, it's kind of hard to tell.

    What, no snowflake looking trolls?
    I'm very disappointed. Although, I'll give this post another read when I can actually focus. Thanks for the info, it really burst my bubble.
