That was amazing to see! I'm going to bump this every day

Agree more or less with the above poster. If you have to loose 100 lb, a 1lb a week just wont do. Even 2 lb will take you a year. Take off another 1000kcal a day and aim for 1600 kcal a day. With whole foods you get enough micronutrients. After a week you are use to the 1600 kcal and its actually going to be nice to see…

They sentence they love most is 'your body is using fat as fuel'. Its indeed just another way to eat at a deficit and thats why they loose weight. People who are doing it say they do feel full the whole day. Thats because of the high protein

Seriously i can not understand why people cant figure this out for themself!! Do you really think you gain 3 lb of fat over night?!? Do you think its something else then water?!? MFP should have a sticky on this. Much respect to long term MFP'rs in this forum who can still reply to this question in a normal way day in and…

Yeah i call BS on this post. You don't say its lack of decision to anorexic people that they don't eat. Same on opposite to people who are eating themself to death. The problem goes so much futher then a lack of desicion and the fact that so much people agree to this is pissing me off

Great that you relize that you are eating more at the moment. Do you know that 90% of the people who loose weight can't keep the weight off? Mainly because there will be a day they just quit with what they where doing and dont think about it anymore. You are not in that 90%! You see whats happening and are thinking about…

Yeah thats a big misconception that is flowting around the internet. But its nice to motivate people with that wisedom ofcourse. Sadly a pound of muscles doesnt increase calorie burn by 50. A pound of muscles increase your burn by 6-10 kcal. And if you want to be good also relize that a pound of fat increase your burn by…

i also track and use the same but average from last 7 days. So i can see my moving average from today! not my moving average from 4 days ago! ;-)

I guess people have succes with the diet because it tells them what to eat and so they not have to think for themself that much

Sadly for me its red meat except when its a processed version and oranges. Both make me sick for a few hours

Yeah, would you walk 2 miles for a snickers bar?

Yeah its good that you want to help people loose weight but do you realize that you are saying stuff that you don't back up with scientific data? You draw some lines between theories and for that reason alone it is already bro-sciences. I'm happy for you that you lost that weight but to be honest, its because of your…

Did you ever thought about that your 'Metabolic Adaptation' can actually just be a break from water retention? With all that stored glycogen after your spike day you pulled a lot of water out of your body for the storage of glycogen. After you go on a deficit again you are loosing this glycogen and water and you have your…

Yes, i said to much soda. To much soda put me in a surplus of calories. Those daily 1500+ kcal from soda's made me gain weight. Not that pizza i eat once a every two weeks. The point was that without soda i have a maintance level eating habbit. Thats why i called soda my 'fatmaker'

No

Health wise it is more then fine especially if you have enough fat to loose. You don't have to worry about it that much. Keep your macro and micro nutrients in check by eating 'healthy' foods and you will be OK. Also recognize the sustainability of what you are doing, you are more likely to binge this way

22 lost first month, cut 1400 from maintain a day.

I don't know how but for some reason even here, with a lot of overweight people, the tendency is to think that most of time we overeat because we are sad, seeking comfort or are stressed out. I once read its actually the opposite and that most of the time people who are overweight are overeating when they are happy or are…

Yeah i often read people who drink crazy amounts of water on this forum. Slightly more then half an gallon is more then fine. If you sport a bit more ofcourse.

If it fits your calorie goal of the day then you can eat anything what you want. Personally i don't really care that much about macro's so thats makes it easier. When i decide to eat a lot in the evening or know im going to eat a lot i sometimes skip other things during the day.

If its your hobby you could use standards to find out if the scale makes mistakes. But standards have to be used in the range under and over the measurement so thats going to be bit difficult. Find something heavy what is the same all the time

Im doing low swimming and it really works!!!! Whatever everyone is saying. I use to swim for 10 minutes in the morning but what i do now is go for a 10 mile crazy run in the morning and then i don't want to go swimming anymore but doesnt matter. I don't miss it. I lost a lot of weight the last 2,5 weeks. A lot of people…

Its a mythe, they did study a very large group of people and did find that by average, people who breakfest are thinner. Now we have to understand that by average, people who eat breakfest are also more conscious about food and a healthy lifestyle. Also as mentioned before that you are less likely to eat that cupcake at…

You are surely precise! To be precise back, your proper weight on that one day was 61kg and that other day 63,5kg. Dont forget that every cell in the human body contains water. The entire body is 70% of water. You could always weigh an entire week and take the weeks average or just pick a number your like between 61 and…

If you eat as much as the amount of effort you have made for this opening post then you will succeed

I have a small example and many may have heard this. If you have food on your plate your mind and body say that you are full when the plate is empty. But plate sizes can differ! You trick yourself. If you take smaller plates you will eat less but will feel the same amount of full. Brian Wansink has a great book (mindless…

Again!! For your weight-loss 200 calories is 200 calories.. No difference at all. For your state of mind its wise to make the healthy choices in food 99% of the time. And that is what most CICO'rs do!

Not really, you are saying it wrong. To many carbs is not the same as LOW protein.

Because the underlying mechanism of this diet, and all diets is that you are cutting down on Calories IN.

't Its just impossible to not lose weight when you are in a deficit. So the common complaint on this site is 100% the cause of mistakes in counting. Its that simple. Don't spin it towards something else
