LOL I'm not afraid of any diet however if you like KETO then do KETO but dont push it on everybody just because in your opinion it's superior...

Try eating and asking youself what exactly you were trying to accomplish besides muscle loss.

Yes it does work long term. The key for anyone is find an eating style you enjoy, that makes you feel good and is reasonably healthy. You have the KETO people, vegetarians, vegans etc, etc. and us that just eat almost exclusively non highly processed foods but include meat, veggies and fruit. Lol then you have the fast…

Overall, no for the general population. Some bodybuilder contestants can benefit and that's about it. The carb timing for 99.9% of people is just getting in some carbs pre workout for energy. Other than that overall weekly calories dictate whether fatloss will happen or not

any diet with an actual name is other means whether it is KETO, Atkins or others. Most that do these think there is some magic to them. It's usually the "Carbs make you fat" group.

99% 0f people that try to circumvent CICO by using other means find that the alternatives don't work. Those alternatives MAY cause fatloss however it's always because of their roundabout way with CICO. There is no backdoor entry into stored fat.

Serotonin levels change which can alter moods, energy and cause depression. These factors can cause lack of energy and mood swings which has an effect on activity, both exercise and NEAT along with changed eating habits. So it comes down to the same rules as anything else, no consistent weekly calorie deficit

Dinner is 7oz of Ahi sashimi with some wasabi and a sliced cucumber with balsamic vinegar with a Kirin beer.

Unless you have some underlying health issues that dictates the elimination of certain foods you’re wasting your time with these things if Fatloss is the goal.

To be a pre workout drink that gives you energy They’ll have some sort of stimulant so you’re just trading one for another.

You don't need any special diet to lose fat, in fact those will usually cause you to gain the weight back if at some point you change your eating habits. Your initial loss was water. Why not just eat\drink in a way that will be permanently sustainable? there is no magic to any of those special diets as they all work on a…

Because of the reasons you mentioned

You figure weekly calories and divide by 7 to get your average daily amount and that is the number to look at. If your “cheat” keeps that number at your target daily calories then it’s fine. If it puts you over it isn’t fine. Get away from cheating and include small amounts of those foods in your diet.

Not being able to hit eight or 900 cal a day means that more than likely you’re not counting correctly. You’re possibly taking way more than that without realizing it. It’s best to list what your height and weight is so that there is some context to your post.

Trouble eating a certain calorie amount means that it’s over maintenance otherwise it wouldn’t be hard to do. Another reason may be that things are being undercounted so what should be an actual 3,160 is actually a lot higher in reality

LOL, Dr. Mike. One person that knows his *kitten* unlike 90% of the internet fitness\diet people

Unless your extremely tall that is way too many calories. The more fat you carry the bigger calorie deficit you can run not that you SHOULD run a max deficit right off however at your weight without getting aggressive you'll be dieting for an extremely long time. The best way to figure is eat normally for a week and add up…

You'll lose weight with a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time. Trying to mathmatically figure everything will give you a starting point however after a month or so you'll be able to review how those numbers are affecting your weight and at that point you'll adjust things and then review again later. You'll do this…

Yes however in a deficit one of the big factors is satiety so you want foods that keep you full so that usually leaves out highly processed carbs which are also the foods that are easy to over eat. You don't have to totally eliminate those things just be mindful of how they affect your hunger and calorie goals

count 7 days worth of calories and divide by 7. If this number is your calorie goal for fatloss then you’re ok. If you still don’t lose then your counting and tracking is off or your target is too high.

Right? However it's important for people to acknowledge how inaccurate their counting really is that's why calorie counting is such a crap shoot. Inaccurate MFP data, not logging everything including liquid calories, not logging every day, not logging that quick teaspoon of peanut butter.....

Doubtful you'll ever be within 60 calories IRL. Most people are off by 40% a day with total calories when all the smoke clears with incorrect counting and tracking and food labels being off as much as 20-25%

After another week of no loss then you need to lower your weekly calorie amount.

Does anyone actually HAVE Premium? Us poverty members can use the above process

For setting daily calorie goals manually (Iphone, Ipad) Settings>Profile>Goals>Calories, Carbs, Proteinand Fat Goals>Calories

Set it manually

At your height and weight you may want to add muscle and lose the fat later. Hard to tell whithout a pic. You would eat at a very small calorie surplus and train hard with a proven weight training program that emphasizes compound movements. Once you've built a decent amount of muscle you'd contine the same training program…

What I tell people is stand in front of a mirror naked. Would fat loss or mucle gain make you happier then do that. This is provided you don't have any underlying body dismorphia issues.

Usually best to choose muscle gain or fat loss and concentrate on one or the other. Some people try to do a recomp which is both at the same time however most are unsuccesful. What is you height and weight?

you do not put on fat by working out so you can move past that assumption. There are instances where you gain water weight when you begin a new training program
