Exactly, especially when this was claimed earlier: "I respect your opinion, however as I mentioned neither caloric intake or food choices changed..." So there was a 6 pound conversion of body fat with absolutely no change in caloric intake or food choice in a 6 week span? I'm sorry, but no. Absolutely not. Believing in…

Because generally, as long as your macro goals are balanced and your caloric goal is reasonable then this is true. As others have stated, simply losing weight is going to be healthier for the OP than anything else. That, and the fact that it should be done in a way that its sustainable are why people were focusing more on…

When was that ever suggested once in this thread? I get so tired of that same argument because nobody ever suggests eating just cheeseburgers. Eating a varied diet is important, but a diet can be varied and still include cheeseburgers and other foods that you might claim are "unhealthy".

Its absolutely possible to recomp using IF, however, IF is not going to magically accelerate fat loss when calories consumed are the same. Again, IF works for SOME people because it can help to limit their overall calorie intake, but when calories are the same, regardless of when they are consumed, fat loss will be the…

Excellent post @kimny72, and to add to this, the point where it was claimed that calorie intake did not change at all is where I call BS. If calorie intake is exactly the same, then IF is not going to magically accelerate weight loss. It just isn't no matter how many people chime in with their personal anecdotes. As a…

A recomp wouldn't mean eating at a surplus, it would be eating at maintenance. Unless I am misunderstanding what you are meaning, what you are suggesting would be a bulk, or a slow bulk depending on the surplus.

Maybe I am in the minority, but it has never even occurred to me to track my sodium intake. Calories and protein, yes, but definitely not sodium. The beauty of eating a balanced diet that doesn't overly promote or restrict certain foods is you don't need to stress about every micronutrient. That's why I would always stress…

I haven't been overweight for several years either yet I can't say I have ever mistaken hunger for thirst. They are two very different sensations and I don't understand how someone could confuse the two. Funny how nobody ever thinks they are thirsty and it turns out they were just hungry instead.

I mean, this is a debate thread. We can call *kitten* when people make claims that are obviously false.
-
I completely agree with the bolded, however Gale said he was eating the same amount of calories as before which is what I was responding to.
-
What am I incorrect about? Are you really trying to claim that you lost 50 pounds with no caloric deficit? Keto isn't magic Gale, you lost weight because your CI was less than CO. It really is that simple.
-
I couldn't disagree more. Not having luck just means you haven't met the right person yet. You are basically making it sound like anyone who is single is doing something wrong which is absolutely untrue.
-
If you don't think about the calories you eat, or bother tracking them, then how could you possibly know they are the same as they were in the past? One thing is absolutely certain, when you lost 50 pounds, you did so because you were in a caloric deficit, and not because you distributed the same amount of calories to a…

Thank you, I appreciate it. My goal is to be in the best shape of my life at 40, and I have been working hard towards that. I am excited to see what my 40s will bring.

Happy November everyone. I'll be 40 in 3 weeks, and I am surprisingly kind of looking forward to it. :)

In that case, do what makes you feel comfortable. Only you are going to be able to know what that is.

Nothing about this makes the least bit of sense. Your body does not get "stuck" with the same input/output. I am not even sure what you mean by that, but its nonsense regardless. If you are eating the same amount of calories you will not end up losing more weight just based on meal timing. Your body doesn't magically lose…

Because if we are taking the time to try to provide a thoughtful answer, we are not going to make assumptions. I also think you are over-exaggerating when this question is asked. Its not asked after literally every question, but it is asked when relevant. For someone who claims to not be bothered by the question, you seem…

Oh don't even get me started on glitter, or even worse, homemade slime. My girls have fallen asleep playing with that stuff and I have had to get it out of their hair in the mornings. Its terrible. @NovusDies I LOVE the harmonica idea and you better believe my brothers kids will all be getting them for Christmas.
-
If your goal was to lose 1lb a week, and you have lost 6 pounds in just over 8 weeks while eating at maintenance for periods in between, then I would say you are right on track. Some of your initial weight loss may have been water weight up front, but this is why people stress that weight loss is not linear. I had periods…

As a parent, I hate stickers. They always end up where they shouldn't and I find them months later and have to scrape them off the hardwood floors. If someone gifts my kids stickers, their kids are getting a drum set as retaliation. :smile:
-
I wasn't aware it was moved and appreciate the clarification. Still, I think when people ask for additional information its a good thing. Its when people start answering questions blindly that you start to see ridiculous answers that can do more harm than good.
-
The same can be said for carrying in groceries, yet its a necessary task. Some people can't afford to pay others to shovel their snow, and unfortunately the job still needs to get done. As others have said, people need to know their limits and that is why its important to stay in shape and try to be as healthy as possible.…

You acknowledge that you have benefited from people asking what your goals are, yet you question why people do it? I think the fact that you have benefitted would show you that sometimes asking questions gives people the ability to give a more accurate answer. I think to answer the original question simply, people ask…

My girls still have candy leftover from last Halloween. Trust me, I have tried it, and its still good :smile: . They get so much on beggars night that I obviously moderate how much they can have. The assumption that kids are going to eat a full bucket of candy in a week doesn't make sense to me, however as a parent, I make…

The problem is, you seem to think the fast has something to do with your gains or losses, and other than possibly restricting calories, it doesn't. Whether you gain or lose fat or muscle has nothing to do with IF and everything to do with CICO.
-
No, just no. A person is not going to gain fat in a caloric deficit, and sugar doesn't magically round up the fat in your body and move it to your midsection. The one thing that will cut fat is a caloric deficit, and strength training will help preserve muscle, but as others have stated, you can't spot reduce.
