Some people have diseases or allergies that causes them to not metabolize things the same as others. I'm sorry, but everyone is genetically pre-dis-positioned differently and because of our genetic makeup, no single person on earth should follow the same diet as everyone else. You don't tell a hypoglycemic person to go on a low carb diet; you also don't tell person who just had cardiovascular surgery to go on a high fat diet.

Everyone IS different, so thank you for your pedantic speech on how you don't like people who claim to be different than you because it was humorous to see your arrogance. But if it helps you get over your inferiority complex to believe everyone is the same then go for it buddy; but I am nothing like you and my body functions differently than yours does (but I *am* seeing results so I am not complaining about the difference).

I have to agree here. There are genetic predispositions there are also metabolic disorders.

Which does not change what is being said and is referred to in the article.

THANK YOU -- for proving my point!! I keep trying to tell a friend of mine this but she keeps saying this and that doesn't work for her and her daughter, "cause they're different" as you say and quoting all sorts of pop psychology/physiology from so-called "experts" (and I always question the reliability of her sources but she insists that it's true.) :noway: Some people just have to learn the hard way I guess.

Did you read the article? I'm guessing not because both of these issues were covered. Here's the cliff notes: Genetic predisposition play a very minor role and don't change the energy balance equation significantly. Metabolic disorders are a medical condition and when treated properly are minimized or managed. Really helps to read the article.

SHHHHH... you talk too much. You're hurting my head.

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.

Love it, what a good read!

Sensible post.

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!

Bump for truth. All your base are belong to us.

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://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.

I suggest you read the article more carefully.
