heart disease its early stages start to settle in since childhood, autopsies performed on children as young as 10 year old shows fatty streaks already forming in their arteries cholesterol/saturated fat contained in all animal products and vegetable oils in the diet cause damage to the endothelial cells in the arteries the…

funny how it works, I strayed off my diet today it was around 1pm and I wasn't really hungry but I thought "who the hell I'm trying to impress trying to be perfect here" so I went out and got me some almond butter and apricot jam, pass by my fav bakery I hadn't visited in a while and got me a fresh baked French baguette…

if your not losing eat less food, simple

did you prepared the wrap or bought it off a place? looks yummy

wise words, extended water fast is valuable tool for therapeutic purposes but if you just want to lose weight and there's no other disease you need to tackle is best to keep your cycle of intermittent fasting constant I see it as respect to the body, extender water fasting just because you are impatient and want to see a…

we are back in the 90's now just 3 more decades to go :D WK........ Weight.....Week Chg.....Total......To Reach Goal 0.............238.6.................................................... 78.6 ....(started plant based diet) 03/06/17 1.............237.4...............-1.2..........-1.2..............77.4…

week 7 is on the books, tmw morning weight in time didn't have a very good week exercise wise but the diet was almost flawless other than a couple beers in a social function today's meal brown rice chickpeas sweet potato guacamole salsa cranberry juice apple cider vinegar(2 tbs) total: 1518 cals

5lb loss in a week is ridiculous! tempted to jump in the 5/2 train haha when you do your no food day, the following day do you move your meal to eat earlier so is not 48 hours fast, or you keep the same hours for your meals regardless?

just take it one day at a time, stick to OMAD day in and out, once you get into that rhythm your body will follow through and you will get great results , there's only so much food you can stuff in one 10 inch plate. you got this

thanks guys, taking it one week at a time, no rush

credit to OMAD that kicked my behind into high gear, I had been losing since the beginning, but was all over the place prepping meals and tbh felt like I was losing steam, doubting myself but with OMAD everything clicked funny story, I tried some coconut ice cream the other day (a bit of a splurge day) I hadn't touched any…

I hear you on the cheese, casomorphins are no joke haha. I was afflicted with mild random headaches since I was a kid, when I took out the dairy the headaches are gone for the first time in my life, I always though that because my mom use to have migraines it was just genetics and I just had a mild version of it, turns out…

wow man you've lost 138 lbs, that's insane, great progress! do you mind if I use your template to track progress? I may open a thread for a log since the number of weeks are starting to blur in my mind, the only thing I don't understand is what do you mean by "partial fasting", great job anyway

hello there, just wanted to share a new research that just came out a couple months ago in the scientific american https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-exercise-paradox/ the article is behind a paywall, but this blog post bellow summarize it…

insulin resistance is caused by excess saturated fat in places it shouldn't be (liver, muscle etc), when you gain weight by eating excess calories the fat spills over to these places and becomes toxic I wish Dr Fung put his theory to the test and eat 10 000 calories a day of pure lard that way he can remain in ketosis so…

that's a good looking pool, maybe if you limit it to 3 times per week, and keep it to 45 mins strictly timed, quick warm up and throw in a few lactate sets, too good to pass up haha anyway, with the one-two punch of the daily dozen+OMAD you will get your swimmer body back, guaranteed :)

swimmer and veggie trying to be vegan I already like this thread haha . I swim in my small 25 meters gym indoor pool it has so much chlorine that it literally burn my lips, not to mention about the gross stuff the old ladies from the aerobic class drop to the bottom from time to time, there's no way around this type of…

week 5 is on the books, had a good week with my workouts, and OMADing is smooth sailing at this point, the only thing I'm having issues is too much food to eat, today was a struggle, I still have some leftovers from this meal that I will have to eat later to complete my calorie budget brown rice small red beans indian yam…

crazy tremendous progress, congrats!

eat beans, red kidney beans for example, one single serving worth 70 cals has 16 grams of fiber, yes that's not a typo long term low fiber in your digestive tract can create trouble like diverticulitis, hemorrhoids etc, your body is telling you something, I'd suggest don't cut corners with laxative drugs

I've had decent energy so far with my workouts while doing OMAD, 5 weeks in. My meal is around 8 or 9 pm and I workout at 5am, 4 to 5 times a week, I sip through my session with some Xtend BCAAs mixed with water 4 out of the 5 workouts are based around barbell compound movements, deadlifts, squats, rows, military press,…

no I was serious about how great fasting is, sorry english is not my native language, so some stuff may get lost in translation with my botched grammar I agree with most of what you said in your last post, I think is human nature to get entangled with the details of the process, trying to understand everything and we can…

I can relate about your experience as a teenager not only trying to gain weight but just maintaining weight, I was a competitive swimmer as a kid, and it was a struggle eating everything in sight and my trainer was like"you need to eat more" it turns out is seems there's no set point is just a simple balance of what are…

including plant whole foods in your diet is a step in the right direction, if you read the China study and watched Fork over Knives you got the info, you made the decision to do what you think is best for you, I got no problem with that, tbh you can still eat animal foods sparingly and be in good health like folks in the…

worst than empty calories, pretty much toxic garbage when you factor in the cocktail of antibiotics and assorted drugs animals are fed in the factory farms https://www.drweil.com/diet-nutrition/food-safety/antibiotics-and-arsenic-in-chickens/ the World Health Organization, pretty much has red meat classified as a class I…

good for him that he lost the weight,still there is more to health than just losing weight, look at Bob Harper the trainer guy from the Biggest Loser show, great lean body, muscular, looking great for his age and...following a Paleo low carb diet , ended up with a massive heart attack, nearly lost his life if you are…

conclusions I don't agree with? basically everything he says on the video, but the jist of it is 1. calories in and out don't matter, he says the body acts as a thermostat and will burn excess calories, this is wrong you eat enough calories and go over your calorie needs and you will get fat 2. high insulin drives obesity,…

edit: just finished the second half of the hour on the video, it is like a bad stand up comedy routine , like he is trying to mock the audience by misleading them with all wrong conclusions :D the thing is that many people need to understand , that metabolic pathways/physiological processes/feeding behaviors etc etc etc in…

you are using one tiny aspect of the whole, and making a generalization, the reality is fat, carb and aminoacid metabolism is all happening simultaneously at high speed in the body, either catabolic or anabolic processes all at the same time, yes they are times when in a certain metabolic environment, some processes may be…

and many more to come, after this 4 week test run, I have decided I want to do OMAD long term, is convenient since you have to worry alot less about food, less prep food time, increased productivity and weight loss is steady I'll take it
