I agree. Problem is, not everyone does. Not enough dragons to slay.

That's a shame. I really like science and research and would like to see sites like this grow in popularity. It would go a long way if it could be shared as an objective based argument.

Can it be submitted to maybe a medical site? How does hosting work?

You can woo me all you like but that's fact. You give people way to much credit if you believe they are so accepting of every research hosting site out there.

What's wrong with the site? Sci-fit.. not well known and widely accepted. Authors may be but like I tried to explain.. take proven medical fact, post it on a not well known site, and someone will come along and say it must be wrong.

The science is faulty when the extreme keto followers think they can ignore CICO and still lose weight. Not all believe this, I know.. But the ones selling it by saying it cures cancer and you can eat without counting calories are the ones making the diet look like fairy wishes and unicorn sprinkles. They will not want to…

Again.. I was fine with the research. FINE with it. Nothing wrong that I see in it. The site the site the site. Not the research.. I'm trying to protect the research and OP by pointing out that the site it's on will be attacked.. Please.. just understand that much of what I am saying. Ignore the parts you are…

Thus my most recent response in an attempt to explain it. You're welcome. I really don't mind going into further detail if you find previous attempts at comprehending my seemingly more vague responses challenging. You have but to ask. I recognize that I do tend to obfuscate the entirety of my connotation by…

Again, I am not saying that I disagree with the proposed research.. It's which sites that are putting it out their that poses the problem. Not for the sake of finding it invalid myself but that your target audience who oppose it WILL. If you take a known truth from a reputable medical website, delete it from its archives,…

I confront it. I get angry and demand to know why it's even there. I look at all my blessings and ask myself what right do I have to feel upset over inconsequential matters when there are those suffering far more than I could possibly imagine. Then I force myself to remember why I'm happy with where I am at now and remind…

Only star wars? Not Star Trek or stargate or firefly or darkmatter, the 100, V, battlestar galactica, Farscape, Babylon 5, dr who, Jupiter ascending, fringe, quantum leap, x files, torchwood, outlander, buck rogers, caprica, earth 2, avatar, the 5th element, Prometheus, guardians of the galaxy... I could go on but meh.. I…

Beaches of NC.. Holden to be exact.

So, like the obsessed ketoers, shaky sites. I agree that it's mostly nonsense, but the sites on both sides are.. questionable. You can woo me all you like but that doesn't take away from the fact that I'm right. Anti-ketoers hate it and demonized it while ketoers evangelize it. I beginning to think you people just like to…

If you estimate, estimate 1/4th more on everything. And I second the "Diannethegeek".. especially in not forgetting the small things like cooking in 2tbs of oil.

I find it inconclusive. More research is needed. CICO for weight loss.. Low carb for longer satiation in those who are weak to those delectable temptations. Weight loss is the same in an average person. Weight loss is greater for ketoers ONLY because they would binge in any other environment. Demonizing it doesn't change…

I agree on that. I believe she believes she had absolutely nothing other than a saline drip.. No point in arguing with her over it. She seems pretty set on the idea so like my mom and dad, I just let her believe what she wants.

We've all been there. Maybe not EXACTLY there (back surgery..ouch) but we've lost and regained and had upsets in our lives. But you are back now and that's what matters. Life will always throw the curve balls.. You swing better and hit harder as you gain wisdom through it.

Planning doesn't always work.. It is a good start though. I second the low cal snacks. Or you may have to remove yourself from it all. Go to the park and walk, or a mall if that's your thing, just avoid the food court. Go somewhere super expensive to eat, somewhere you wouldn't even be tempted to waste your money, and…

Beneficial? To me it is. To you, maybe not. It still uses CICO as its foundation. It can help with cravings for a lot of people who can't stop binging on carb loaded foods.. But if your self control is key, there is no reason for you to go keto unless you just want to give it a go. It does have some health benefits, but so…

I find it easier. I HATE the summer. I'm a hermit during tourist season. But autumn and winter are just the best. It's cooler which means longer walks.. less snakes which means safer hikes.. And if you are in a snowy area, skiing, sledding, and omg.. walking through knee deep snow takes a lot of stamina and endurance. This…

Yes. But then I wouldn't eat at all until dinner time either cause I know it will be awesome and I'll want to enjoy it.

I agree that additives aren't a good thing, some processing is, but we would have to raise our own livestock and grow our own food in a virtual utopia to prevent cross contamination and let's face it, that isn't going to happen. I can't keep a dandelion in my front lawn alive much less an entire garden.. And if you really…

I just know what the pop up says when you go below 1000 calories.

Good for stomach, makes hair shiny, great for cooking. BS nonsense for weight loss.. unless throwing up is your aim.

How long exactly have you been doing this? You're fairly new, so I'd say come back and complain in 4 weeks. Otherwise, give it time.

CICO.. And burning calories through activity doesn't have a curfew. There isn't an on and off switch..

Definitely a difference. Good job!

1000 is the minimum for women on mfp but I agree, to aggressive.
