I know... it sounds counterintuitive but a solid article from my perspective.

    It's part of it. It's not all of it, of course.

    The link doesn't work. However I have heard about this idea. i don't know. I tend to feel better if I move more and I gain it back faster when I don't move much so...

    Sorry about that. The MFP swear word filter keeps changing the word bullsh!t, even in the URL. So you can either go directly to bodyforwife to find the article OR you can Google the expression in the title... Eat Less Move More is Bullsh!t.

    I often have trouble explaining and writing how I feel or think - it never comes across the way I intend. This article does the explaining for me!

    This article made me think so thanks for posting it, UncleMac. I still believe that CICO is the place to start with any weight loss plan, but then you have to individualize it for who we are, the psychological, the physiological and our environment. We all have different obstacles that we have to sort out if we go over, around or under them, but we can't let them stop us completely. That is when we fail.

    Human behaviour is remarkably complex. Likewise, our physiology isn't simple either. Simple solutions to complex problems are almost bound to fail. Since we want to succeed, we need to find the way to modify our behaviour in such a way as to happily achieve the desired results.

    Over the past two years of this process, I've learned more about myself, the human body, it's processes, ... than I could have imagined. It's been amazing to learn what stresses the body, how it reacts to different stressors, the impact of different foods, food chemical additives, the impact of different types and amounts of exercises... and on and on. And yet at the end of the week, I just want to see the little number on the scale go down. B)

    It sounds like you're learning about yourself and that's a good thing.

    I was on the ESAD diet which made me really fat. This app helped me lose a lot of weight until I got to a certain weight. Now it is hard and I'm not willing to eat less at this point. I liked the article. A while ago, someone posted an article about being an experiment of one, or something like that. This article reminds me of of that post. I'm the scientist and the rat. I'll try things, but if they don't work for me, it doesn't make it wrong. I'm old enough and wise enough to understand what I will and won't do. I do believe that if I want to heal injuries or gain muscle, than I need to eat food It seems I am always doing both.
