Thank you. Great post. Sometimes I really just don't have the patience to respond to people who are clearly reading what they want to read rather than what is actually there. Just so they can argue.

Ah I see. Just as if it had been diabetes caused your GP may have advised a VLCD as a last and urgent resort to get you to lose weight as fast as possible. As research shows losing just 10% of your bodyweight can result in significant loss of fat around the liver which in turn often significantly improves type 2 diabetes…
-
Are your current medical issues (pain and particularly loss of eyesight) type 2 diabetes caused by any chance? Because that could explain why your GP recommended a very low calorie diet.

When you were eating 1200 and 1500 calories a day and not losing where you logging accurately? Because this is where most people go long when they say they're unable to lose weight. Where you weighing everything? Where you measuring drinks and cooking oils and sauces ect? This is where a lot of people don't realise extra…

There is a whole subreddit on reddit dedicated to meal prep /r/mealprepsunday I'd recommend it if you're looking for ideas.

Hi. just so you know that is pseudoscience. it's not based on fact or any actual scientific research. It doesn't work like that, this is 101 stuff on my degree. It's just nonsense. Also OP said on one of her posts she had a fall and injured herself and so is not as active as she used to be. Also bare in mind of course you…

I don't have cheat days. If I want pizza or chocolate I fit it into my calorie allowance. It's not that hard to do, your regular days shouldn't feel like a chore or you don't get to eat what you like...because that's not sustainable for the rest of your life. And weight loss and maintenance needs to be sustainable. I also…

Yes. I'm 4'9 and can safely lose weight (doctor approved) at a sedentary activity level between 1000-1300 calories a day. If I've had an active day I eat more, but I generally barely get any exercise. Yes I'd agree the 1200 recommendation does not take into account the very short. But it is a pretty good number for most…

Ignore the top post about ludwigs book, you physically and biologically cannot train where your body goes/ uses for fuel it's complete nonsense not supported by any actual scientific research and it's one of the first things we are taught at university. That poster lost weight because they were in a caloric deficit not…

It's complete nonsense. Your metabolism doesn't take a nap when you do, it's always working.

Learn to appreciate that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. You're like an amazonian woman, who are considered incredibly beautiful. I've been there myself in feeling like my size is not good enough. I'm 4ft 9 and I've had my fair share of feeling like I can't be sexy or beautiful at this size and equated to a child. But…

Classic example of a personal trainer bull *kitten* what they don't understand because they don't actually need any serious qualifications to get the title of personal trainer.
-
People/ media who like to blame food groups for their weight rather than taking accountability and responsibility for themselves. There's always a new evil food around the corner for people to blame.
-
Certain food groups don't make you gain weight. That's complete broscience and not backed up by real science. Eating too many calories makes you gain weight. It's that simple.

These have been some recent favourites. They all have essentially the same base (mixed leaves, bell pepper, red onions, radishes, cucumber, celery, tomatoes and generally some new potatoes) I then add different flavours in the meat and sauces. The first image is chinese pork loin steak, the second is teriyaki chicken and…

All BMI is, is a sliding scale of weights at corresponding heights least and most statistically associated with illness. There is evidence to suggest there are some people who are in the overweight (or in more extreme cases obese) scale don't belong there statistically due to high muscle mass ...though these people know…

I think body proportions and genetics plays a large role in your dress size, as people have different body shapes as their genes determine where they store fat. I'm 4'9 and 107lbs at the moment. My dress size averages as a Uk size 8 (US size 4) whereas my skirt size averages at UK size 6 (US 2), but pants can be 8-10 (US…

Take the machine calorie burns reading with a pinch of salt, they're notoriously not accurate. But you're going great and good luck and keep up the hard work. :)

Don't fall into any of the nonsense traps of things that speed up your metabolism. The only things you can take that genuinely speed up your metabolism are dangerous and illegal. Exercise will increase your energy output (Calories out) so that will help. Stopping cigarettes in no way shape or form will slow down…

You are losing weight. 3.3 lbs in a month is good progress. You're being too impatient. This is a long process and it's not going to all melt off in a couple of months.
-
Are you weighing your food and logging accurately? This is where most people go wrong. And how long have you found weight loss to have stalled? As I'm sure you have heard many times weight loss is not linear and you need to give it a good 4-5 weeks before you know for sure you aren't losing any weight. Also exercise can…
-
No. I just rely on peer reviewed scientific studies and meta analyses for my information. And if those sources showed CICO to be wrong tomorrow I'd immediately change my views. But as of yet not a single scientific study can back up CICO not being the key to weight, and trust me I have looked and read hundreds of studies.…

Then likely what the problem is, is when scientifically educated people try to find a way to share that science in a more "layman terms" way with the general public. It almost always just causes confusion and misinformation. It's very hard to simplify scientific research that way. It's how a lot of scientific myths,…
-
I see you like to put words into people's mouths. Having read some of his work he is selling lies and things which do not align with science. As @daniip_la said he is spouting fake science and selling it "The goal in Phase 1 is to calm down fat cells and take the body out of starvation mode." That is incorrect and not how…
-
I'm familiar with Ludwig's work.You just appear to not be happy with people calling out the BS. Just because he is a doctor does not make him right. Especially when bias and money are involved. He makes money selling this "information". That ought to make you wary of anything he says. Only peer reviewed scientific articles…

is she a "nutritionist" by any chance, in that she does not need to be board approved? In a lot of places nutritionist is not a protected title. I've heard a lot of people claim to be nutritionists who don't have the faintest clue what they are talking about and are clearly scientifically illiterate.

All calories ARE equal because a calorie is just a unit of energy. Different macros certainly do pay different roles in the body. But in terms of weight calories are the only thing that matter, to say otherwise is just plain wrong, misleading and uneducated. If you lose weight following that it is because you are eating…
-
Very true
-
The funny thing is they can't. They've read that nonsense off some blog or watched some fad youtuber who makes money off the weight loss industry and have decided it is true. They don't have a clue what they are talking about and don't even understand what they are saying. :/
-
Nope they all taste the same to me to be honest.
