BEST DIET

tobybear72 · July 2018

I want to lose my belly fat and I know they say the ketosis diet is good for that. I hear so much about the bad breath and ketone smell. What foods should I eat to help get rid of my belly fat and not get the smell?

Chorophyll pills.

There are no foods or exercises that target belly fat. Eat in a calorie deficit and do some strength/resistance training. The fat will drop all over.

Eat foods you like within your calorie allowance.

'They' say lots of things, most of them grossly overstated at best, blatantly false and possibly dangerous at worst. Choose a method of creating a calorie deficit that works for you, your life, the way you like to eat. That might be keto, but it doesn't HAVE to be. Any old calorie deficit will work.

The best diet is - no diet! What you need for sustainable weight loss is a lifestyle change. Weigh your food, count your calories and consume less than you burn. That is the only way to lose weight and keep it off. One day at a time. Start with small changes, and it will all come together. Also, your body totally decides where it wants to lose fat - there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to change that. Maybe the belly fat goes first, maybe it doesn't. No way to influence it.

So is eating less sugar, bread, processed food a good way to start?

There is no such thing as a "best diet". Everyone has an opinion when it comes to weight loss, but the only one that will work for you is the one you can sustain long term and make it a lifestyle.

Only in helping you decrease your calorie intake, but it isn't necessary

There is no "BEST DIET" only the "best" diet for you. And no diet at all will target any one area of the body. The only way to lose fat is to create a calorie deficit, and the fat will come off where it will come off, unfortunately, you have no control over that.

If you have a problem overeating those things and reducing them helps you create a calorie deficit.

eating less is the best way to start

How about just logging what you eat for a week without making any changes. Then, at the end of the week review your logs to see what you can cut back on? Reducing portion sizes can often be enough. Alternatively, you can look at substitutions. Go with lighter versions of things like mayo, salad dressing, etc. For example, my most recent switch was to go from using 2-3 whole eggs per day to using one mixed with egg white. Cooking more yourself can be helpful because you have more control over what goes into the food. I like altering recipes and increasing the amount of vegetables in them to give me more bulk without a significant change in calories (depending on the vegetable). Nothing wrong with bread. Sugar is fine as long as you aren't eating so much of it that it doesn't leave you room to get sufficient nutrition.

Best way to start is lowering your calories. Of course dropping carbs is easiest especially in the beginning, so you can lower it if it was really high to begin with. There's no need to eliminate it. If you're a lifter, your priority will be maintain your protein high, make sure your fats are not too low (Don't go under 15%) and most important thing of all, make sure your calories are less than what you burn (aka caloric deficit).

PS: I've been losing weight despite eating over 250g of carbs per day, goes to show that carbs don't matter for weight loss, calories do.

YES! According to science, bringing down your processed food and sugar intake will help keep you in blood sugar balance, which will aid in your efforts so you are not crashing and craving so much. While, yes, calories in vs calories out is the way it goes for weight loss, fat loss is more from carb depletion. But you still want to get fiber, protein, and fat as well. Just be mindful of what you are eating. An awesome book all about this is "Body Love" by Kelly Leveque. I am obsessed with her and her philosophy/science behind our hormones and hunger.

malibu927 · July 2018

Fat loss is from a calorie deficit and muscle retention aids (strength/resistance training, adequate protein intake)

You know there's a reason they sell books....I'll give you a hint $$$$$$ and also what malibu927 said. Let's not forget that losing weight doesn't require you to buy anything, the information is free and it's simple too, but many choose to ignore it, because eating less calories than you burn doesn't sell.

blb85 · July 2018

Or you could also just look up scientific research and find that it's not always as simple as "calories in vs calories out". Just because it may have worked for you, doesn't mean it will for someone else. You can also listen to free podcasts on people talking about this very research, and that's free advice. Being skeptical is one thing, if you don't research the science.

There's a reason why people can go on MFP and lose weight but usually gain it all back. It's because our bodies don't necessarily just work on calories, and who wants to log and measure everything for the rest of their lives? Metabolism is way more complicated than what people like to think it is. And eating 100 calorie pack of sugar is going to have people crashing and burning and wanting more sugar later; than eating a balanced meal of protein, fat, fiber, and greens which will keep us calm, full & satisfied so we aren't constantly in a state of being "hangry" and dieting.

articles aren't "research". Most of this article is referring to things like TEF...for someone eating a reasonable good and balanced diet, this is majoring in the minors. These things don't negate CICO (energy equation)...they just change it to some degree...and in most cases, that degree is very minor outside of medical conditions.

I don't care what diet people do...most people gain it back. But here I am in maintenance for over 5 years and eat a wide variety of foods don't calorie count, etc.

And who the *kitten* is eating 100 calorie packs of sugar...strawman *kitten* right there.
