COMPLETE AND UTTER GARBAGE. If youw ant accurate information about body weight regulation look into GENUINE SCIENTISTS SUCH AS DR. LINDA BACON AND DR. STEPHAN GUYENET.
THE BODY ITSELF CONTROSL ENERGY BALANCE. THIS NEVER GETS DISCUSSED. ALL OF THESE SITES ARE FRAUD
AND STOP MIUSING THE FIRST LAW, PEOPLE. I HAVE SPOKEN DIRECTLY TO DR. KRAUSS AND DR. SUSSKIND.0 -
Saving for later. Thanks0

Very interesting article. I was disappointed that the details of how to calculate the feedback loop as time and progress occur...
Oh well. Just me. Now to go check Amazon.....0 -

Great read - saving for future reference.0

Saving for later. Gotta learn this stuff.0

Tom Venuto is a slaemen and a scammer. All of these Jillian Michaels types know nohting about obesity and have no business commenting on it. Real scientists laugh at these people or ignore them.0

Very interesting, read most, but need to go to work. Will eat more calories today to not be in starvation mode and to lose less lean body mass (I am lean and struggling with losing the last bits of fat on tummy and thighs - perhaps I have been eating too little and so burning muscle instead of that fat!).0

I was looking at my weightloss when I weighted yesterday, and I'm a bit disconcerted. 6.4# in 13 days works out to a daily deficit of about 1723 calories/day!
I'm -supposed- to have a 710 calorie deficit. (Roughly TDEE - 20%, rounded off to an even 3,000 calories)
I'm -supposed- to go no more than 500 below that. (Both per my nutritionist.)
But this is over 500 calories below my MINIMUM! Eeek! (And over 45% below TDEE!)
I know I haven't been eating enough, but I'm afraid I'm losing muscle mass with this.....
EDIT
Oh, and I couldn't find Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle (BFFM) anywhere. Found several references to an e-book released several years ago, but nobody had it available. What I did find was pre-orders on Amazon for a new, hard-cover(!) edition coming out in December. (Oh, and a new Kindle edition will be available then as well.) From what I read, it'll have 25% new information.0 -

If that loss amount was after just starting a diet, there will be water weight loss.
Same water weight you'll likely gain most of it back when you stop dieting and eat at maintenance again. But just needed water weight, so won't change shape much if at all.
Probably did 3-4 lbs in those 2 wks, which perhaps not bad at all.
Get some good full body strength training in, and hit your protein macro and it'll help retain muscle, of course reasonable deficit helps with that too.
You may also have inflated BMR and TDEE, so you already have some protection in there.0 -
Excellent read - thanks for posting the entire thing.0
