Let me debate corpse accounts. It is a matter of honor and pride. No one is allowed to be wrong with impunity on the internet. >:)

I recall have heard someone say Isopure is actually some of the worst tasting, so I've never bothered trying them, particularly given they also seem pricier and there isn't that much it seems one could gain from a particularly great isolate. For taste per price, Dymatize would be my pick. If it is purely taste, I think…

I suppose you might need to eat more of the beyond burger if you wanted the same effect on leucine concentration and therefore potentially muscle protein synthesis. Recent studies have shown that even at equal PDCAAS and leucine content, something like whey (not sure if this would extend to beef, so maybe I'm reaching)…

I would think hydrogenated oils would be in less use in the US since the ban on added trans fats.

Face pulls should help.

Knew there was going to be hogwash when I saw that doctor's face on screen. He's another quack (Fung being the big one) claiming you can diet away excess skin by just eating the right way.

Not sure why you'd want to show off how bad you are at formal logic as a retort... Fung is pretty popular in IF. A lot of doctors know very little about nutrition, particularly getting into a specialty like chrononutrition that would study IF. A lot of doctors are surprisingly poor at reading scientific research, or…

Maybe fasting is like using pulleys? Less force needed. Oh wait, work stays the same. :D

What, like Fung? Fung will say absolute tripe like fasting prevents loose skin from massive weight loss. I mean, he's a doctor and disagrees with the idea of IF having no benefits above a deficit. Oh, he also says skeptics have no reason to criticize Paltrow's Goop for selling jade eggs - literally said there's no study on…

Have you ever tracked running a mile and done it in 10 minutes? Do you think you could that same pace for an hour? I'm asking because it is not typical. Your average woman that participates in 5K races is going to have a nearly 12 minute pace for the 5k. Thinking your calorie estimator giving you 600 to 700 calories an…

Yeah, I don't get the purity idea. If there's something unclean about any amount of matter from animals, don't eat - even ignoring the things that live in the harvested fields, humans and other animals constantly shed skin and dander, some particles are going to end up with food at levels beyond human perception, but…

Yeah that's not calories out, that's calories i... never mind.

I think the best part of this is somehow gender matters to calories for sex, but making out apparently doesn't? Given on average women are smaller, having an equal average implies women are more active in making out.

You're saying it takes more skill not to count, but you've failed with counting?

Losing weight is an asymptote - the less you weigh, the less your body burns to move and the less it burns to exist. Overtime, the calories you lose weight on gets closer and closer the calories you need to maintain the body weight you're at. You're probably going to want to lose at a slower rate over time too. The leaner…

1200 calories, sure, but what about second breakfast?

Well of course. They said that the other they are reliable. Do you doubt they verifying them?

1. Reduction in my depressive feelings 2. Feeling stronger 3. Being in physical instead of just existential pain.

You can weight train at home - I've listened to a pro natural bodybuilder discuss working out on vacation with two milk jugs filled with water as his main piece of equipment. Limiting the learning is about the kinds of lifts done. Most beginner programs will do some movements that are actually hard to do right: bench…

At least part of your problem is the conception. There isn't really a way to "tone" muscle - it is a buzz word the fitness industry came up with to sell exercise plans to women who were afraid they'd grow Arnold Schwarzenegger arms by biking up a dumbbell weighing more than 5 pounds. There are two things that control the…

RPE using RIR (reps in reserve) is something that gets better with experience. The more advanced a lifter, the more their estimate of their RIR is in line with taking them to failure. There are formulas out there for a rule of thumb for taking 1 rep max and coming up with what someone's max reps with a lighter weight might…

Okay, so what's the free square in restrictive regiment bingo? Is it clean?

What exactly do you think you have that would be cleansed? Do you have something diagnosed by a doctor, and if so, why isn't the doctor prescribing a treatment? I think the worst thing is the people selling these things will say your insides need cleansing to sell you cleansing supplements, and then turn around with…

For those classes in women's, I believe there's a bit more a genetics/luck in things like the face, general bodyshape to it that might make it more possible to place as a beginner. Diet will probably need to be controlled, but the severity of restriction will luckily be nothing like BB division. The right show can matter…

Truly raw food veganism is pretty unsustainable - on the personal level, not environmental. Most research on actually adhering raw vegans shows they tend to be underweight and malnourished based on blood work as far as I'm aware. Some level of supplementing and some level of processing, even if done personally, are going…

Because we're secretly a cult and using it to get people to obey dear leader? That's one of the other areas fasting euphoria gets abused.

Yeah, it seems there is a lot about some of the disordered eating that can be physiological, not just psychological based on the behaviors bodybuilders get going into and coming out of shows. I think being energized on low calories can happen in obese individuals. When I was morbidly obese I would find myself eating…

My own theory is that big pharma pays people to put conspiracy theories based reasons on message boards. This encourages people to be checked for paranoia and use more anti-psychotics. So I never listen to people proposing anything remotely conspiratorial.

Category is going to make a huge difference. The actual bobybuilding class versus bikini are very different animals in body fat terms. Getting into the bodyfat for most women BB classes almost requires losing a period temporarily for most women is my understanding. I can't imagine breastfeeding would keep going anywhere…

Beyond water retention, you can't gain weight simply by inflammation or an allergy. It has to ultimately result in eating more or moving less. Really, turning up body temperature is going to use more energy, not less.
