One week

williedv wrote: »

It really is hard to lose weight in a week when working out since you also gain muscle. More importantly u probably lost inches n gained it in areas that need it. When dieting and working out it takes a few weeks and you will see the difference. Straight diets are for those that do not have patience but not the healthiest way to lose lbs. exercise and proper diet (not starving yourself) is the correct way and requires patience. Once you get in the groove the body adapts and the results are great

Huh?

I don't know what a straight diet is?

It's when your diet is attracted to diets of the opposite sex. High protein diets are attracted to high carbohydrate diets. VLCDs are attracted to bulking plans. It's chaos. Everyone knows that won't work.

A straight diet is just a reduced calorie diet without exercise. It's a great post. One week makes a difference. That's all. One week of exercising make a difference and so does one week of dieting. The point is, it all takes patience. You want to disagree with that too?

But there is nothing inherently unhealthy about losing weight on a reduced calorie diet while maintaining the same activity level you had prior to losing weight.

I would say most successful weight loss requires patience. Losing weight on a "straight diet" doesn't take less patience than losing weight in other ways.

I believe everyone responding to you is healthy, has an age, is active, and is meeting their fitness goals too. So, you know . . .

How does losing weight on a "straight diet" take less patience than losing weight otherwise? Come on. Diet and exercise are both important. And it all take patience. How can you read anything more into that original post? It's not an argument about whose way is better.

you don't build muscle in a week.

in fact, in a calorie deficit, you don't build muscle at all

wtf is a 'straight' diet? Is there a 'gay' diet? does it involve better clothes?

Well, y'all chased him (or her) out of here quick enough. Well done,
