Not much to add to what has already been said, but I did require a double-take when looking at the log images you shared. I eat applesauce on occasion, and even organic, unsweetened sauces made from apples, water, and possibly a little vitamin C tend to be about seventy calories per half-cup. Would you please double-check…

Belly fat is a combination of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat and you'd need specialized diagnostic tools to get an accurate picture of the exact composition, which is why medical literature increasingly and overwhelmingly suggest belly fat or waist size as a benchmark for guesstimating risk of complications due to…

What I said (after what I felt was a thoughtful summary of my research on the correlation between fasting,stress,cortisol, and belly fat) was "Just don't get too caught up on tracking exercise calories or using them as an excuse for guilty eating." You literally quoted that before disregarding it and going on a spiel…

I feel like you could just as easily argue that dieting leads to anorexia or other eating disorders. I mean, any glance at any public forum dedicated to weight loss or dieting or exercise shows you that there are a tremendous number of people trying to use a Fitbit as an oracle. It's counterproductive and "rule of thumb"…

There is quite a lot of evidence that suggests visceral fat is tied to cortisol and stress. Just like insulin impacts your ability to store fat, meaning that *what* and when you eat matters, your body has mechanisms that determine where and how it stores or burns fat. I believe that, along with genetics, some weight-loss…

You guys both sound pretty convinced, but I'm not so sure you're right. Here's a TED talk by a notable endocrinologist where he talks about his practical weight-loss results testing drugs that control insulin. I don't want to misrepresent his argument as being in support of weight-loss pills, but either way... we're…

Easy recommendation is refrigerator yogurt. Off the top of my head, it's ~1/2 cup of oats, ~1/4 cup of fat-free Greek yogurt, ~1/2 cup of some kind of milk (I use vanilla flavored, reduced/no-sugar almond), a few packets of Stevia and whatever flavorings suit my mood. Frozen/fresh berries, raisins, cinnamon, whatever. Mix…

For what it's worth, the visceral fat is typically much later in the process. You might be able to help target it with intermittent fasting or certain food choices. There's some research out there on the topic. Five pounds in three weeks sounds significant to me. At that rate, you could potentially be under 160 in a year.…

If you find a way to eat pizza and hot dogs and fast food burgers and other convenience food literally all day long and still lose weight, please write a book! You will have come up with a diet all of us could get behind. Seriously, though, if having to fill up or snack on veggies instead of packaged foods feels like…

disregard, sorry. I don't see any way to delete.
