  • Well you can't say it has nothing to do with metabolism, given the definition of metabolism. Eating a meal results in increased thermogenesis. Eating smaller more frequent meals can be an effective way to lose weight as long as you don't overeat. When you skip a meal you are more likely to over eat. Eating More frequent…
  • To lose fat you need to do cardio at least 6 times a week. At least30min each session. Try doing in morning before breakfast
  • Yikes! All of this is so wrong!! My suggestion is to go to a nutritionist and get some professional advice. This idea that is so pervasive on this app - the idea that you can eat whatever you want as long as your on a calorie deficit is so wrong! Let's talk about McDonald's - loaded full of saturated fat, Trans fat and…
  • Yes boosting metabolism is important for longterm weight management. Adding muscle mass will boost your metabolism because muscle is more metabolically active then fat tissue and so you will burn more calories at rest. Also eating smaller meals more frequently. Stay away from products claiming to boost metabolism. Unless…
  • Dieting may be your problem. Diets are never sustainable and lead to weight loss weight gain cycles. You simply need to permanently change your lifestyle habits for life. Learning to cook is the best thing you can do and educating yourself on nutrition - not the internet! Friend me I can share meals and recipes
  • Yes yes and yes!!!
  • Hi there. I can support you. I am a biomedical scientist with expertise in health promotion. You can add me as a friend. Are you changing your diet? People make the mistake of exercising but not changing diet. You need to do both. Do you eat a lot of pre-made food? Fast food or restaurant food? If you want to maintain a…
  • Have you used that approach and been successful? Eating cheeseburgers everyday?
  • This article is from 1999. There are serious methodological issues with measuring de novo lipogenesis in humans in 1999. More recent evident suggests de novo lipogenesis can be promoted with intake of simple sugars
  • Your physiology is more complicated than that. Yes it is true that ingestion of simple sugars will cause a spike in insulin and promote fat storage, whereas the same calories consumed as complex carbohydrates will not cause such a surge in insulin. Fat storage is regulated by a number of factors including hormones,…
  • Exercise will increase your good cholesterol, HDL, which is important in promoting a healthy blood lipid profile.
  • There is plenty wrong with eating just one meal a day. There are many factors that determine weight loss/weight gain, including resting metabolism and hormones. Eating one meal/day will put your body into a starvation mode. In response your body will store more fat when it has the chance. Also not getting proper nutrient…
  • You seem to be going over your recommended calories for fat and not meeting your calories from carbohydrates. One of the reasons that low carbohydrate diets do not work is that you compensate by eating more fat. For every gram of carbohyrate you consume 4kcal, for every gram of fat you consume 7kcal. So fat is more…
  • Carbohydrates are not "bad" this is unsubstantiated. There are simple sugars (table sugar, in sweets etc) and there are complex carbohydrates (rice, bread, potates). You should avoid simple sugars. Eating simple sugars raises your insulin levels sharply and causes fat storage. Complex carbohydrates on the other hand are an…
  • Hi I am a biomedical scientist with expertise in human health. You are elminating whole food groups from your diet. The Ida that carbs are bad is a myth. The idea that dairy is bad is not scientifically supported. Yes losing weight is a matter of calories consumed versus calories expended - but it is more complicated then…
