So u r firm believer in eating more and not gaining fat?peaceout_aly wrote: »Honestly, mine was "eat more, lift heavier"
Probably the opposite of what a lot of people on here would agree with, but it helped me gain muscle and get closer to my ideal body
Well eat in surplus is better than "eat more" because eating as much as u want will just bring on a lot of fat with the muscle you've gained
Where did she say "eat as much as u want"? Maybe I just missed that part in her post, let me go read it again.
Uhhh, nope.

Did you start this thread just so you could rag on the advice which made other peoples' lives better? Because someone posted a piece of advice that made their life better, and all you've come back to do is pick at it.11 -
why is everyone being so rude, I just give my opinion cuz I did that and it didn't work for me , I did not mean to rag on anyone's advice. I will still be nice and not try to cause any arguments cuz it's pointless. Go ahead I wouldn't comment now to "rag" on people's opinions.Alatariel75 wrote: »

'Think before you speak.'
I was a bit of a loud mouth as a child and use to drive my mum crazy with the trouble I got into. It took until I was over 50 to really put those words into effect, most of the time. I am,oddly, now perceived as a much gentler and thoughtful person.
I'm really just biting my tongue.
Cheers, h.8 -

The person you're referring to simplified the advice they were given down to "eat more" for the purposes of the thread.
If you go into any thread where someone is asking how to gain muscle you will see they get tailored specific advice to them and their situation. You're presenting strawmen.
Best advice I got? Ditch your *kitten* up family. Took me a while but I've never looked back.3 -
For every 10 gold coins you earn, spend only 9. Keep the remaining ones forever. And put them to work earning more gold coins. (See e.g., George Samuel Clason, "The Richest Man in Babylon")5

This also applies to foals and calves, if anyone is interested...
Not that you put them in a crib to nap, but y'know.

I understand but I mean she shouldn't advice someone else about that ( in my opinion) because for example if increasing 500 calories doesn't work for u u can increase it to 250 and keep on adding until u see the change or decrease when u feel like u r gaining fat. That's all I'm sayingpeaceout_aly wrote: »Honestly, mine was "eat more, lift heavier"

Some people have a very hard time eating more, so eating as much as they want often tends to not be enough. Not everyone is on here because they overeat. In her case telling her to eat more was good advice, you didn't ask for blanket advice to help everyone.
The kind of person that advice is aimed towards is the person who will eat an additional 250 calories for a week, feel fat, and immediately go back into a deficit. Nobody on here is just going to advise someone to go hog wild eating. Even someone who struggles to add more calories is going to be given more detailed advice on how to do it beyond just "eat more".
Every time I see one of your posts you are arguing with someone.
@Niples_ You must not be around much. I like to clear misinformation and in this case stick up for someone who shared what helped them, then essentially got told it wasn't good advice. I'm not one to be quiet on certain issues and I'm okay with that.7 -
Here's a quote that made a huge difference for me:
“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher8 -
Thank you, usmcmp, that is a wonderful inspiration that you shared.3

Pain is only temporary. It can last for a minute, an hour, or a day but eventually it will subside. If you quit however, it will last forever.3

There was a thread asking the community on whether they were going to count calories forever... I thought about this too because many people say calorie counting is not sustainable, that you absolutely CANNOT do it, that it's restrictive, etc.
The responses to the thread consisted of people acting like tracking calories and such was as simple as taking a shower. You get used to it, it gets easy, and it's rather simple. It inspired me to finally stick to counting, weighing, and tracking my food because I don't believe I really have an excuse.3 -

It's good when you get to that point. For me, I really thought about the amount of effort I put into other things to get what I want. Like - I go to work, 400-45 hours a week so I can have my nice house, my car, things I like, clothes I want, entertainment I want... I put so much effort, 8, 9, 10 hours a day of effort into making sure I can go to a concert when I want to and have nice things. So what's spending 10-15 minutes a day so I can have the body I want, in comparison?3
