  • I honestly don't get what's wrong with you people... are opinions banned? Sure, facts are better than opinions. But am I (or anyone for that matter) not allowed to post my own opinions?? This is a community forum where we can discuss things related to fitness and health. What is wrong with opinions related to fitness and…
  • I'm also curious...
  • This website isn't for scientists that can provide factual evidence for every piece of advice. It's a community that helps each other out with what they have found to work. So yes, if coconut oil prevented cancer for you and you told people "hey! I've had some luck with coconut oil" a community forum would be an…
  • If you disagree with something I've said or believe it to be "pseudoscience", you're entitled to your own opinion as well. But again, take it up in another thread or message.
  • Regardless, it's my opinion. I don't need to provide factual evidence for every single one of my opinions, especially when the OP is asking about lifestyle. There are many people who believe artificial sweeteners, flavors, etc. are not good for the body. It's what we choose to believe. I believe artificial sweeteners are…
  • That's cool. People post their opinions on here all the time, yet you jump on me for posting about mine? The OP is neither questioning physics or biology.. they're questioning lifestyle. Therefore, a response with my own lifestyle is appropriate
  • Yet I choose to believe it. I'm entitled to my own opinions... and posting them as well
  • I guess I should've added "that's what it's been in my experience". When I say LCHF keto in other forums I'm in, it's mostly assumed that the two are one in the same, but I guess they have their technical differences
  • Some of the best advice I've heard is when it happens, don't guilt trip yourself and think "well I've blown my diet might as well eat all I can!" I try my best to be aware that I've let it happen and not let it continue
  • I'd say some good rest and stretches. I used to believe in foam rollers but haven't found any good science that supports their use. But if they help you, keep doing it!
  • ? Whats your issue? I'm not derailing anything. I've heard artificial sweeteners do the body harm. I also choose to believe that. Is that a problem?
  • Agreed. I wouldn't stress the often weight fluctuations. My lady will fluctuate quite a bit throughout the week
  • Prepare your jokes and what not now, I'll leave this thread as of now. If anyone wants to discuss this in more depth, message me.
  • I'm not sure to be honest. I don't do much research on high satiety foods, so I can't answer that. But are you to tell me that Lyle then doesn't know what he's talking about? Cause if so I think I can finally understand why I'm getting such resistance.

  • Again, do you know what high GI means? I'm assuming no cause you keep skirting the question...
  • I love how you keep avoiding the science articles I throw at you... really helps your credibility ;) Anyways, have fun eating!
  • WOW.... you really love taking things out of context. I said that IN RESPONSE to someone asking me how much cocaine they should take. Did I advise anyone to NOT eat sugar BEFORE THAT (when I made the original claim that I did not in fact advise anyone to eat sugar)? No. That's like me telling someone one moment "be…
  • Any science to back that claim? No? Cool. I'll take your thoughts into consideration (not) and stick to reading the science books. The links I've provided which go to scientific journals aren't real science? Hmmm... thats interesting! I suppose the earth IS INDEED flat!
  • That actually made me laugh hahaha
  • I'm not sure how many times I'm gonna have to repeat this... but here it is again. A reputable, scientific source that also KNOWS that "carbs cause more hunger" as a big, debated issue.>>…
  • Yes, as you've said before and I addressed recently. Do you know what high GI means?
  • I wouldn't advise taking any cocaine. Or sugar. Or MSG. All of which are edible, none of which are required for a healthy diet.
  • Then what do you call this? >> http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2013/06/26/ajcn.113.064113.abstract
  • Yes, I did say that. I didn't deny saying that, I said I said it in response to someone else. Learn to read that. Secondly, what I meant by that (which I explained later) was that it's not required in any diet to be healthy. That doesn't mean DON'T eat sugar. Lastly, you're just jumping to conclusions that I haven't said.…
  • Again, not telling anyone to NOT eat sugar. What part of that did I advise/tell/command/suggest/whatever the OP to not eat sugar? I said if their breakfast has sugar, that may be their problem. That DOES NOT MEAN DO NOT EAT SUGAR! And the sugar is devil thing was taken from a response to someone else. Again, not…
  • Yes, that's true. Do you know what contributes to high glycemic numbers? High blood sugar numbers. Do you know what increases blood sugar numbers? Carbohydrates. As the study itself says: Conclusions: Compared with an isocaloric low-GI meal, a high-GI meal decreased plasma glucose, increased hunger, and selectively…
  • So you're just gonna disregard my sources and support? Haha alrighty... if you want more techniques to losing fat other than counting calories which seems like most people on this thread are, let me know. And for the record I didn't tell anyone to not eat sugar or carbs... And I just have to add.. I think it's funny that…
  • Not necessarily synonymous but one eats a LCHF diet to get into ketosis, generally. If you say "low carb-high fat" in the science community they'll assume you mean a version of the keto diet.
  • Good idea :) have you heard of Ketostix? There are these little sticks that you pee on to see if you're in ketosis or not. Not the most reliable things but they help you see if you're on the right track. Keep in mind if you but them though that their threshold for detecting ketones is 50g of carbs or less.
