  • There are numerous studies citing lower carb diets are effective, and are healthier than higher carb diets. Yet, their lifestyles are entirely different from those of Western cultures. If a person lives in a rural country in Southeast Asia and they work in manual labor, they need those carbs for energy. In addition, people…

  • Do you think this possibly precipitates a famine?

  • Okay so, it seems you're new to MFP and I'm going to give you the low-down. One of the biggest things with MFP forum culture is to be really sure you're eating what you believe you're eating. The best thing would be to weigh your food- not measure it using cups (I learned that lesson). Log everything, and it means logging…
    in counting calories + exercise = weight gained? annoyed.... Comment by troutlilly April 2016
  • I'm not sure it's the overabundance of food that's the problem. It's the fact people haven't adjusted their eating habits to meet their lifestyles. If a person's lifestyle has a TDEE of 1,900 calories, then they have a desk job sitting and they sat in the car to get there but eat 2,500 calories a day, of course they're…

  • LOL, no they aren't. When coworkers have looked at my lunches they tend to say "oh, my lunch is healthy too!" They get super enthusiastic about it and at the time it seems mean to burst their bubbles. I have to bite my tongue too, because I've been told "how are you losing weight and I'm not and we're eating the same way?"…

  • No, I didn't contradict myself. Here are a few of the studies: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa022207 http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa022637 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00125-012-2567-4 http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/90/1/23.long I found at least 30 more, but for the sake of…

  • It's not a nutritionally dense, healthy salad. That's what people act like it is, and it's not. It's like people I worked with proclaimed "I'm eating a healthy meal today," and I find out it's chicken drowning in ranch dressing with green beans from a can doused in salt. Nowhere close to healthy.

  • My thoughts exactly. I find it concerning that people disregard science and actual professionals for instagram and youtube. Hey doctors and scientists, did you know your jobs were going to be replaced by social media? Yeah we don't need your scientific mumbo jumbo. I mean, I don't know what saccharides are, or ketones but…

  • I'm from the Twin Cities in MN and there are a lot of health-conscious people here. At one point we were known to be a powerhouse for hipsters, so yeah there's a lot of healthy food eating folks and active people :) I've experienced some level of resistance to weight loss and balanced eating. In the past, coworkers tried…
