CICO implies (to me at least) that weight loss is linear. That it’s nothing more that entering numbers into a spreadsheet. Well my expirence has not been that. Many times I have ended the week with my 3500 cal deficit. Did I always lose a pound??? Of course not. Have gained at that deficit- yep. So please there are other…

My goodness someone on these boards who actually makes some sense. Bravo.

You did not lose with Keto. A calorie is a calorie you should have ate less and move more. The CICO Mafia will be in shortly to mock you and tell you how wrong you are. However I say. Good for you. That is excellent.

So sick of people blaming “corporations” for their problems. It’s like the idiots who listen to politicians who promise free eveything. Someone else will pay. If you are too stupid to come out of the the rain then you deserve to get wet. People know the risks of eating tons of junk. They know the risk of taking…

Not offended. But I Think if you had opened up with the tone of your last post rather than that of your first it would have come off much different that is all. I get it. Just thought the first post made you sound bad. And it seems that is not what you intended.

And so what if they do?? Does it really harm anything. If you don’t like those comments then don’t read them. It’s not your job to set the world straight with snotty comments. Or maybe it is and I didn’t get the memo.

That’s great and all. But you also know from having been here so long that 98% of the people on here are not super fit. And are not interested in the super finite definition and nuance to the difference between HIIT and Tababa. They just want a good workout. So your explanation really sounds like a justification for some…

I do firmly buy into CICO - but I have to admit I love seeing articles like this and others because it so ticks off all the right people on here.

Yikes you are going to catch heck from the MFP Warrior Class. But I have had a lot of success from low carbs over the years. As I get older my body feels better when I do it. But you do have to really follow it. Not just eat lots of protein and fat. I do a lot of veggies and moderate amts of protein and good fats. I never…

For me it took both. Diet is huge. The better my diet the less exercise I needed to get what I wanted.

You didn’t mention it but do you have edema? I know when I consume very high carb high sodium for a little my period I can gain 5 lbs overnight. However once back to a normal diet and lots of water it then flushes out fast. Try upping your water intake. Sounds odd but tends to work.

The people on here that use the words “peer review”.

Workout when I had no desire at all.

I manage by the day but in the end I am only interested what it looks like at the end of the week.

I have hashimotos. Thyroid meds are very sensitive. I would urge great caution using "thyroid supplements". Doctors are pretty easy going about using a generic med. Atorvastatin vs Lipitor. However, thyroid medication is really important to be consistent. Take it as directed the same time every day. Don't ever think…

This has to be a Troll post. Or else....

Omg people it's Govt run "free" health care. What do you expect??? The people here in the US that buy into single payer are going to get this. This stuff is not hard to figure out if you are thinking. Certain politicians in this country like to act like Santa and hand out free everything. Free comes at a price. S Palin was…

I lost a lot without working out. But I look much better when I do workout.

MMA - I do that. Not actual fighting but I workout with trainer who does. We do a lot of hitting and kicking into bags. Best workouts ever.

Sorry to say. Have to lose lbs and then work the core.

Chili dog casserole!!

Govt does not fund anything. It simply steals money from people (taxes) and then spends it however they feel. So lots of you feel the "govt" should maintain parks. Well what do you say to people who are not able to go to those parks??? Should they be paying for your hikes??? I for one don't care about your hikes. But I…

Ok so you eat 50% Carbs and sugar. How many calories are you eating??? How much do you work out?? My point is most people are not you. They eat too many calories and work out too little. Just because it works for you does mean most of society is following suit. Otherwise we would not seeing obesity rates like we do. I look…

What in the heck is "woo"??? Never heard of that word. I am sure it's one I won't use. But would like to know what it means here in MFP combat forums.

Question. Who puts these graphs together?? And how are they getting their data???? By asking people?? News flash. Over weight people tend to lie (or just don't know) about how much they eat. How can carb consumption be down when walk into any major super market and the whole place outside of two depts are full of carbs???…

My weakness is non-dbags. :) :) :) :)

I wish I had something constructive but I don't. I would be beyond mad at her. Maybe that is wrong but it just seems irresponsible to me not to mention flat out dumb. Sorry for you.

[/quote] This, this and this too for me. Also, what you eat matters - there's good foods and bad foods. [/quote] This. There are junk foods. [/quote] I don't think you're allowed to say that on MFP. You're allowed to eat cocaine laced with gasoline as long as you measure it to the gram on a food scale and fit the calories…
