What about MFP user Sarauk2sf? She's in her late 40's and has managed to lose weight and recomp her body while including (in moderation) full fat items like ice cream, dairy and such.
Not everyone can (or will) follow the type of regime that Sarauk follows. I have arthritis and must be very careful as to the type and amount of exercise that I do--but, within that parameter, I have made a drastic change in my health and appearance.
LOL. She strength trains 3x a week. That's it. No cardio/nothing else and she has a desk job. How is that different than from what most follow? In fact, it's less than what most people try to do.
A lot of cardio can actually be counter-productive to the aging female body. Cardio is "catabolic"--that is, it tends to be decrease lean body mass. Weight-lifting, on the other hand is "anabolic"--that is, it tends to increase lean body mass. Which one do you think is better for increasing the flagging metabolism of the aging woman? I actually don't do a lot of cardio--just enough to keep my cardiovascular system healthy. She may have a better metabolism than I have to start with--many, many women are not so fortunate. It is estimated that about 40% of post-menopausal women have thyroid problems (as do I).
So first you infer that she has a rigorous training schedule most can or won't do as a reason she's able to be as she is. But now that it is "revealed" she does something that is actually average and doable, it's got to be her "better" metabolism (insinuating that it's something she's always had)???
:laugh:
Okay then.
Was she ever more than 20-30 pounds overweight?

I agree. I was beginning to look and feel like an old woman five years ago. Most of my friends now marvel that I have gone backward in age from the look of me. But I can assure you that only excellent nutrition and adequate exercise is what has caused this.
They're being nice. That's what friends do.
No, my friends are not liars. Even my doctor sees me as an example and has asked for "before" and "after" pix.

Aaaand the last ounce of credibility you may or may not have had is now gone...
It's customary to pull a 180 and shift excuses when a previous one is shown to be untrue.

Because science.
That teaching on weight-lifting vs. cardio comes straight from bodybuilder Lyle MacDonald--the darling of the weight-lifting crowd.

I think that some weight-lifters believe that you can lose all the body fat you want to with just weight-lifting alone. I have yet to see that happen with me but I certainly have improved A LOT.

And what excuses have I made. I have already said that I am at a healthy weight and that I have done it through my efforts without making any excuses. What problem do you have with that?

Sorry, what does this have to do with you implying her training regiment is one that most can't do (lol) and then inferring she's just naturally has always had a high metabolism?
By the way, she hasn't always been into heavy lifting (she got "serious" about it a couple years ago, I believe, when she started losing and then recomping).
Or are you saying that Sara is a special snowflake? Because pretty sure she just proved what you said you have "yet to see happen", even if it hasn't happened to you (referencing you stating that this is a belief versus something that can actually be done)

But it hit the nail on the head with my weight loss (and gain) issues starting in 1994/1995. At age 36, I weighed 129, then suddenly I went to 143, 164, 177, 199, then up to 200 plus, my highest being 217. What did I do to make this happen? I changed my diet and became what I thought was a vegetarian. I replaced meat with non meat boxed, bagged, frozen, canned substitutes. I started to gain weight...then I was pitched the "calories in/out" song by the local gym and diet guru's on television. (Richard Simmons come to mind) and after joining a gym, and starting to "exercise" I jumped from 143. to 217 in a few years. Bigger and fatter, and more out of shape, on a "vegetarian" "exercise" several hours a day plan. The ONLY time I seemed to drop weight was when I wasn't eating at all for whatever reason, sometimes a much as 4 pounds a day. I followed the Susan Powter No Fat rules, and they did help, but those replacements for meat are just as bad and any processed foods. I realize now, we the public have been 'worlded and twirled" by the truly wealthy 10% in the world, and the governments they control to control us the masses of white lab rats.
Well, this white lab rat is going on the Fed Up Challenge on December 6th, 2014 for the 10 days of no sugars, and processed foods, and in my case no meats or dairy or eggs either. Lets see what happens.
by calories in calories out pitch ..you are referring to science and basic math, right?
so you ate nothing and lost weight, wouldn't that prove that CICO works??????
so you are eating nothing during this ten day torture period?
You gained weight, because you over ate…

Aaaand you want to explain your statement? Or do you like to hand out random insults?
Ok, well it wasn't an insult, just a fact. So let's see, you say cardio is catabolic. That's a ridiculous statement. Sure if you don't lift any weights, you run a calorie deficit, and you don't eat enough protein you will most likely lose some lean body mass but flat out saying cardio is catabolic and leaving it at that is laughable. You say weight lifting is anabolic, that's also not always true. Anabolism is when the rate of muscle synthesis in your body is greater than the rate of muscle breakdown. You are always breaking down and building muscle simultaneously. You can lift weights, and eat plenty of protein, but if you're running a calorie deficit to lose weight like most people on this site, you're generally going to be in a catabolic or neutral state most of the time because of the nature of muscle building and the fact that there is an energy cost associated with it. You also throw in the age old "If someone is in better shape than me, it's because they have a better metabolism". What a joke...0 -
