  • This is just one example that shows its not all CICO, you cant really truly know your CI... are you counting calories consumed, absorbed or utilized??
  • Sure here is an example of how calories cannot be measure equal: Sudhair James – undergraduate student at Sri Lanka’s College of Chemical Sciences, and his mentor, Dr Pushparajah Thavarajah experimented with 38 kinds of rice from Sri Lanka, developing a new way of cooking rice that increased the resistant starch content.…
  • If you really think this, you 100% have not listened to any of the podcasts. Every single product is backed by science.. as per the name of the company. If you honestly think that something like gut health and hormones doesn't affect weight I cannot understand how you studied nutrition
  • There are factors over "calories" that impact whether your body is getting to store fat or burn it. These factors include stress hormones, sex hormones, liver function, gut bacteria, thyroid function, insulin, the nervous system and emotions. Check out the ATP project podcast https://atpscience.com/podcasts/ it seriously…
  • You will 100% lose fat with burpees.. one of the biggest bang for your buck cardio exercises. You would definitely notice a difference in 1 month if you had not been doing this kind of training before (not for your glutes - for fat loss). A typical metabolic conditioning session for me would be: 16 Deadlifts (50% of max) /…
  • The bolded part was a joke. I am not arguing with the above - simply what I am saying is size does not always equate to strength and I am more talking about people who do not train close to their 1rm like I, and I am assuming you do, or follow a plan with the goal to increase that 1RM because there are definitely people…
  • But you are still lifting 40 pounds :D :p I understand volume as a female who can squat over 250 (I didn't get there by accident) - I just think the statement "you cant gain muscle if you aren't getting stronger" isn't necessarily correct and is very vague *insert thumbs up emoji because it didn't work on computer*
  • So you are saying by increasing volume by way of reps rather than load you cant build muscle? :# seems wrong...
  • 6 reasons you gained weight: Maybe it is number 6 :#
  • Very possibly.. it depends what is it in. I have the perfect podcast for you https://atpscience.com/episode-25/
  • Absolutely.. in the past 3 months alone I dropped nearly 3% bf and gained 1.7kg lean mass while in a 2500 calorie deficit (per week). Inb4 mfp trolls results are based on In Body scan.. even as a female it is definitely possible to build muscle mass in a deficit with correct training, nutrition and supplementation
  • Your protein goal looks low to begin with, you could try to aim to at least make sure you are hitting that and not under to start. Your sodium intake is also very high, if you are feeling light headed and sick after training I would be more worried about that - have you checked your blood pressure?
