Short answer, yes if your caloric equation states you will lose weight at sub 2000 calories a day you will lose weight at that even if ALL you ate was fat. You probably wouldn't feel very good, but you would lose weight.

I spent 6+ years after I quit lifting fooling myself and packing on weight.

Except there isn't a large percentage of people outside the BMI predicted norms when body fat % is taken into consideration. There is however lots of people outside the BMI predicted norms who overestimate their lean body mass then state there is as an excuse to tell themselves they aren't overweight, just super muscled or…

The problem though with applying that to kids is pretty much every kid I know went through spurts. I have 5 nephews and everyone of them kinda pudged up a bit prior to jumping up several inches in height. There are a lot of kids that are WAY overweight and this isn't the case, but unless the kid has been obviously…

We get it. You are a genetic freak that blows BMI into invalidity....

did someone tell you they don't work to burn calories to help create a caloric deficit to lose weight?

Taken in context reading that entire article there is literally (and i mean that literally) no where it states antiperspirants/deodorants with or without aluminium cause or contribute to cancer.

Plateaus happen because the energy equation is dynamic, not static. The less you weigh the less calories you burn doing pretty much anything. Your BMR is lowered, your "burn rate" lowers doing any activity. Over the course of weight loss you have to account for all changes on both sides of the equation right down to the…

hmm...I was looking at a BMI chart for girls aged 2-20 and it indicated at 5'2 120 was in the normal range.

He has a gift for explaining complex topics in an easy to understand manner.

Not sure what test they would have used. BMI, which is the height/weight 5'2 120lbs is smack dab in the middle of healthy range. She medically wouldn't be considered obese until 160lbs.

IDk about the Fit Bit, but my Garmin VivoHR seems pretty accurate. At around 10,000 steps a day it brings me in at 2400ish TDEE, which fits pretty close with all the online TDEE calcs for sedentary (desk job) with light exercise at my height,weight and age. On lifting days it's around 2600-2700 TDEE

Boo! Strained my shoulder doing bench press last night. Oh to be 25 again....Nailed my squats 5x5 215lbs though so that's something I guess.

Well, if we don't need the milk or the meat, Why would anyone even bother to feed and raise cows? Taken to the ultimate goal you are advocating for the gradual extinction of the entire species. Seems pretty harsh.

IDK that he is considered a guru in the mainstream kinda way, but I'm a big fan of Lyle McDonald. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/ Worst Imo are all the stupid *kitten* magazines you see at the store checkouts like Woman's world etc. "Lose 82lbs eating only star fruit" "Chilean cockroach legs, the new Super Food!" The new…

Good luck man. I guess keep telling yourself what you need to...

To be fair, that is his goal, not his current.

Cod fillet poached in rice wine vinegar, sake and ginger, snow peas, salad, some fro-yo for dessert.

30min walk mon-fri. Lift sun-tues-thursday. Try and bet active on the weekends, but not scheduled. Canoeing, go for a hike, whatever.

Exactly. At 181cm I'm shooting for 175-180 with somewhere in the high teens BF%. Say 17 for round numbers.FFMI of 20.9. To me that is a pretty high goal to set at 44. To shoot for an FFMI at the very peak of elite natural bodybuilders and athletes at 46 is quite the goal. I hesitate to use "impossible" but when dudes in…

If your waist at the navel is 47inches as you said you are pushing 40%+ in bodyfat currently. Not 34-35%. You have to be honest with yourself man. I spent a number of years telling myself I was an outlier too... http://www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-fat-percentage-men-women/ I was reading up on anabolic roids for a…

Toss in some crossfit and you have buzzword bingo. Imagine the conversations, I'm a keto vegan who does crossfit 5x a week...

12 weeks yesterday since my wife and I decided to get our acts together and start getting some exercise and watching what we ate. 3km walks every morning. SL 5x5 3x a week. Results 36lbs lost.267SW May16th to 231.2 as of this morning. Down from tight size 42 pants to loose size 36 and 2XL shirts to larges. Still another…

2nded. Grew up in a dairy community. Worked on dairy farms as a teen. On the farms I worked on and every one I ever visited in our community, the cows were treated very well. Happy cows give more milk. Unhappy cows go dry.

You can build muscle in a deficit. Not efficiently and not as well as a surplus. Results are actually pretty decent in obese untrained individuals as per this study from MacMasters Uni study. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160127132741.htm The more trained you get and fitter you get the less efficient it is…

The most important thing IMO is striving for consistency. Find something you like doing or a combination of somethings, cycling, walking, lifting, yoga, workout dvds(or whatever) set a schedule and stick to it. The more you do it the more of a habit it will become. My wife and I started back in mid May.5 days a week.…

Except iodized table salt is pretty much the reason we aren't all walking around with goiter issues from iodine deficiency..

Except I have a hard time thinking of getting under a 225lb squat fueled only by twinkies...also, I work out pretty hard in the weight room but I doubt I burn 1500 calories...

BMi is still pretty relevant for the vast majority of people. Personally I am more focused on my goal BF% than BMI or weight, but that doesn't make BMI invalid or misleading. I'm 181cm and 104KG (down from 124.7kg) That puts me still in the obese 1 category at 32 BMI. I wear a size 36 jean and can squeeze into a 34, and…

First I draw the pentagram, then I put the steak in the middle and light the candles, then.....
