Under Calories? No Weightloss!? Here's why!

I eat how you suggest, 5 meals a day and eat no processed foods, and cook all my food myself (I don't eat out at all) I've lost 53 lbs in 4 months and feel fantastic. I eat no grains except for brown rice, but that was coincidental not on purpose, limiting myself to whole wheat pasta about once a month as a treat. This weekend i had an Eat Whatever You Want weekend and ate all the crap i used to eat and consequently felt like crap. I can tell everyone that eating this way makes a huge difference in how you feel. I love it.

I'd really appreciate if you added some research to back up your points rather than simply state something as fact? I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just impossible for me to take what someone says at face value.

Now in no way am I trying to contradict you with just one person's data, but: I eat a lot of wholegrain AND white rice, wholewheat and white bread, wholewheat and white pasta and lots of sugary fruit and the occasional non-fruit-based sweet. And cereal in the morning. My carbohydrates are probably naturally quite high, and I make no effort to control them. I have lost 45 lbs so far by restricting calories, not carbohydrates. But I'm just one person and I may be a freak of nature, I am aware that one person does not constitute proof of anything.

I can't take what you say without some kind of medical research cited that I can read and form my own opinion about.

This is quite a heated topic of debate in general. I can't go with what everyone says without evidence or I'd hold a lot of contradictory thoughts!

You can make this two, I eat buckets of sugary foods and occasionally sneak in a dessert and you'll never get me living without my brown pasta and rice (sometimes white if i can't find what i need at the supermarket - i wont just go without). My carbs on my pie chart normally balance themselves out but I do go over alot each day. I've lost 44lbs and have made it through a plateau by zig zagging and switching up my exercise. You'll never get me changing WHAT healthy foods i eat now, just HOW MUCH.

And the whole blog post ends in an ad for the book the member wrote! Not impressed.

HOLD THE HORSES! I didn't see that!

Warning alarms go off in my head when someone gives unsubstantiated claims and then advertises something you pay for...

Sorry for being the nerd police but "bump" is actually used to move a topic back to the top of the message board. It is typically used to keep a topic from falling to the second page and is a big no-no on many sites. The fact that it stores in your "My Topics" list is just a handy side effect.

These blogs and community post are here for us to help each other out. If you don't agree with something that you know to be wrong, then post your findings. Stop looking for confrontation. (This is for no one in particular, I'm just saying)

I'm assuming this is for me.

I have posted findings. I have posted studies. I've posted them so much that I've become sick of posting them over and over. The entire article that the guy wrote is pure broscience and it's not backed up by research.

I have two links in my sig, and one of them is myths that have been debunked. Others have posted myths debunked as well.

Just saying.

let me clarify that i in no way eat a low carb diet. i keep my ratio to about 45 to 50% carbs. I love carbs, i just don't eat refined carbs. I tried a low carb diet once, lost 60 lbs and gained back more when i couldnt eat that way anymore. Secondly, everyone is different. Some people have body types that can tolerate lots of sugar and refined carbs and some don't. One size definitely does not fit when it comes to eating. What I am saying is if one way doesn't work for you, then try another way. Also, as just a side note, i never slave over my stove. i cook enough rice adn chicken to last me 3 to 4 days so i cook once a week. Granted, it's easy for me, i have no kids nor a husband ( just a boyfriend who is very understanding when i bring my own food to his house. lol)

this is in no way low carb
