    Wow you apoligised and critisized at the same time. If you'd like to "educate the public" then get a degree in nutrition and become a certified trainer. On here you are just somebody else trying to make sense of what is right for you. Everybody is different.
    If you go offended then I am sorry, you took it personally and it was not intended as an attack it was intended to be an eye opener, which usually means that you are or have made these mistakes and are not ready to admit it.. I am not out to criticize or put anyone down I am out to educate people. What you should be offended by is society as a whole who through misinformation has done more harm to us as a whole.

    I thought the post was very informative and NOT offensive at all! I enjoy any and all information that will help me to do things in a better way and do it right! I found nothing offensive about it whether it was written by a man or a woman!

    Agreed!!

    I started my journey by rounding my BMR up to the nearest 100. Every 10 pounds lost, I redid my BMR and lower my calorie goal. It is only for the last 10 pounds that I am at 1200 calories a day.

    I think your advise is pretty right on. Good post.

    Agreed, too many people come on here acting like experts just because they lost a few pounds.
    Why is it such a problem that this post was written by a man? I was thinking the exact same thing -- would you have been as offended if I had written the post as a woman? It's true. When men want to lose weight, many of them want to build muscle, so they go that route, where women just want to lose weight, period. Of course it's not true for ALL men and ALL women, but it is a noticeable trend. I notice a lot more of my female MFP friends working out too hard and not eating enough, where most of my male MFP friends are more balanced about it. It's not because they're smarter or anything, it's just because we have different viewpoints -- men want to be beefy and strong, where women want to look like slender supermodels without bulking up. So the men do strength training and eat more, and the women do cardio all day and eat less. It's pretty common around here.

    Lay off the guy. He's not wrong.


    It's not the fact that it was written by a man, its that the post is so sexist. If a woman had written it I would have been just as offended. He has some good points its just a shame that its laced with sexist remarks!

    This is the reason chivalry is dead people.

    Chivalry is dead people? I've looked in every dictionary I can find, and nowhere could I find a definition like that! :laugh:

    I am the first to admit that I am no expert, I simply offered an observation. I even state that when people request to add me as a friend for my advice and I promote self education and seeking out the experts.

    Not offended - I think tho that men can eat more as a rule due to overall metablism and size and hormones. Best way is to average a slow and steady weight loss, and that varies person to person. Main thing - go DOWN not UP in weight, eat healthy, and exercise. Not a difficult theory, just sometimes hard to stay on track with a balance of both food and exercise. You can't do one without the other, or so I think.
    Not offended at all.

    I do not get the sexist comment at all, nor can I see why anyone is offended. Advice is advice and if someone has some valuable information how does the gender of that person factor in to it? I certainly saw myself in that post and had to take a minute and realize that I may be going about this whole process the wrong way, so thank you to Newfiedan, I needed to hear this!
