Thanks all, wasn't sure how many old faces were still about! Doing so, so much better. And yes, new avatar, although that one is now also out of date (changed the colour and gave myself a lockdown cut) so should probably update again!

BCAAs are pointless too. There's loads of protein powders in all sorts of flavours out there.

400 calories for 9 miles? Even if a lot of that is shuffle standing, you're still standing as opposed to sitting. I don't track at Disney so can't do an n=1 of calories in vs out but getting the same amount of calories for 9 miles of walking as I get for 1 hour of reasonable intense cardio seems low. I am of course…

Actual LOL.

As opposed to unnatural protein? Care to give an example?

And how much do you lose when eating 1200?

So if it's rare why even bring it up?

Never occured to me not to eat the skin, is delicious.

Nope.

I know it's petty but what *affects CICO or what *effect does food have on CICO. They're not interchangeable words and in the interests of scientific discussion it irks me.

I can't burn 500 calories in an hour of cardio intervals, so yeah no.

Except they don't, it's just not worth worrying about because there's no practical application to be made from that knowledge. THAT'S the point we're trying to make and the one you want to ignore because......I don't even know why.

You don't gain anything without an excess of calories (with the exception of recomp but you still wouldn't show a gain on the scale because not eating at a surplus). I use this analogy a lot. You can't add an extension to your home without the bricks. Same thing. It has to be water retention.

It wasn't a 24 hours fast though, it was 48 then a normal deficit day then another 48 hours. That's the problem. You can't just barely eat for 4 days as a "correctional" strategy and think that's okay.

In 81 posts, a lot of them in the debate subforum, you are surprised at having your views challenged? And you have told people they're wrong, are they too to be offended? Or, as they have done, do they defend their position and back up those views with facts rather than hyperbole?

Hnnnngggg

I won't pretend I know how it works, I was just part of that other thread where people came to the conclusion infuriating poster was a bot. And once that suspicion came up the user deactivated.

Except they didn't deactivate, they were, uhm, shown the door.

Looks like we're never going to find out if it was a bot or a real life person.

Because all carbs are sugar and sugar is the Devil's work.

So sat fat bad unless keto and bacon?

Oh no. Are we really back to poor mathematics again? Because I am really not great at maths "math" but even I know that 30g of carbs is not the same as 30g of sugar.

I don't care what some arbitrarily picked burger's calorie content is but you moved the goal posts after being correctly told that a 600 calorie burger isn't half of many peoples calorie needs and so that was also a strawman.

I can't imagine trying to hit 4000 calories on salad and lean meat. I'd feel like a stuffed pig the entire time so working out would be impossible, I'd barf. But also I learned something. Fitness is about what you eat. So step away from the equipment people, what you need is salad and grilled chicken. Quick, let the…

Wait, several pages ago that was a 600 calorie burger wasn't it? And 600 or 1000 (WTF is on it for 1000 calories?!) I could still easily fit it in my day. Because I'm more of a two bigger meals and a snack or two kind of gal.

Still waiting to know what relevance the 5'5 women at two different weights (but both within a healthy BMI so can't make any assumptions about BF%) has in this whole thing. Oh wait, are we assuming the 135lb woman has too high a BF% and the 115lb woman doesn't have too low BF%? Sugar =/= carbs I'll take the burger of my…

I have just upgraded, well October, to the new VA3 and I really love it. It is wonky with calories, it thinks I'm doing something much more vigorous than reality sometimes but for everything else I love it and was the perfect step up from the first gen. I like that it actually looks nice on wrist now too and takes a…

Wait. Does this mean I can no longer buy and read Lyle's women's book despite the years of research and science that has gone into it because he's neither a woman nor a woman who has trained to achieve my goal aesthetic? Well *kitten*. And as for all those elite athlete coaches who never achieved national places themselves…

I don't recall any issues with any of the handful of antids I've been on, pretty uneventful but then aside from the hypo they didn't do anything for me anyway. Seroquel though, that was a mofo. And I was dependent on zopiclone so weaned myself off that. Wasn't terrible but not the most fun one can have.

I'm a rapid cycler but on lamotrigine monotherapy now. I still cycle but apart from the other week when I had an epic old skool hypomanic episode I am much more even. I still function horribly as a general rule but I'm not lurching from one mood the other all the damn time. Waiting to see a psych is hard when you're in a…
