No you don't need to cut out carbs but you do need to understand how carbs might effect someones overall well being. if someone is obese, has diabetes has a fatty liver, which is generally a given then it's more than likely that person could find benefit changing the type and amount of carbs in their diet simply because of…

This post is talking about wegovy not ozempic. Maybe there's a few Ozempic posts on MFP you can enlighten people on the science and how it suppose to work. Ozempic is still a GLP-1 antagonist and it's basically been used for it's ability as a weight loss drug for the most part. The basic problem is most obese people can't…

Assigning a ratio to macronutrients means virtually nothing as far as weight loss is concerned and is only relevant for overall health and wellbeing which will also be influenced quite a bit from the types of food chosen. For example the Standard American Diet, a vegan diet and a Mediterranean diet all have around the same…

Yeah, no. Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for long-term weight loss in adults. It can also be prescribed for long-term weight loss in children ages 12 years and older with obesity. It's weight loss that actually helps control blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity and not wegovy. Wegovy helps control appetite…

Well, even though it's a GLP-1 and a GIP which helps slow gastric emptying and increase the feeling of fullness, basically it improves appetite regulation which helps if someone is looking to lose weight but they still need to be in a calorie deficit. These drugs are suppose to make people less hungry, but that of course…

Yeah, frozen but again I'll use canned chick pea's for example because I can't be bothered considering the amount of chick peas I actually eat. Also as far as nutrition is concerned I get most of my nutrition through animal products in my ketogenic diet anyway, so veg is not that important to me. Although I do make a few…

You were actively losing weight and your Dr. still prescribed medication? Well you won't get an argument from Novo Nordisk, more medication, more money, more better.

Lower carb diets means higher fat by default and ketogenic diets for example are in the 70-80% fat and are helping people reverse diseases like diabetes, fatty liver, PCOS, hypertension etc and in those scenario's fat is imperative for good health, so don't fear the fat, especially naturally.

Yep, whole fresh food is about 90% of my diet, mostly animal sources, with some veg. Love it. :)

Obviously your consuming protein from sources that are not protein rich like most plant material except soy for the most part. Also we need a minimum of 90g's but generally more of protein a day with about 3g's of leucine in each meal spread as evenly as possible throughout our feeding time just to maintain and engage…

"Finding the right balance" for an individual is not the same as moderation as it relates to someones health, not even close, so much for the gospel from the medical community.

Yep that's exactly what happens when your using carbs especially ones from refined sources for energy and you go lower than normal. That won't change but hopefully you don't reach out for sugar, but it's pretty common so I hope you figure it out. Whole foods might be a good option and replace most of the refined foods your…

I'm familiar with sugar binging, shout out to hormonal dysregulation, hopefully you find a solution, I did, but it was that crazy ketogenic diet :#

2 desserts with some protein, really? Try some animal protein on their own if your looking for quality protein, and it actually might reduces your inflammation, your knees will thank you, imo. :)

If your getting adequate overall nutrition with 1450 calories and the fact that counting accuracy is generally notoriously low, then you'll just be using more body fat for your energy, nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. I do advocate for a maintenance break every 12 weeks for a couple of week, then back at…

Research will not/ever pertain to any individual, that needs evaluation by a health care professional.

Normal BMI can be Country specific and that's just 1 factor, an easy observation. Look at India for example where the average BMI is 21 who also have more diabetes and heart disease per capita then the USA who by necessity are also much more active. It’s important to note that while BMI is a useful screening tool, it does…

The advice to see a professional is good advice but I know a few people without gallbladders that are using the ketogenic diet and it's working well for them and the keto diet is also known to reduce A1C blood glucose and reduce and restore a healthy liver and kidneys for that matter in the absence of calorie restriction.…

This whole post is woofully lacking in nutritional knowledge and full of contradictions. :)

With that choice I would definitely skip the lunch time, so your good to go imo. There's no storage back up reserve for protein and considering we've been sleeping for a few hours, up to 8 or 10 then skipping breakfast and eating basically 12 or so hours between meals and if we not only want to maximize muscle protein…

Like I mentioned in another post or 2, fruit and veg has basically flat lined for about 50 years give or take a few spikes.

Newtons 3rd law is alive and well "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" which leaves the door open for another try.

I'm not a calorie counter so I won't address that. As far as your choices in supplements are concerned and this is just my opinion based on what I know which for the most part is a little deeper dive than the editorials we see from main stream media for example. MCT oil is mostly consumed for it's quick energy and helps…

There's an existing 50 year ongoing human study where the diet protocol is the Standard American Diet where it appears, similar results have manifested, but animal studies are always interesting. :#

Try removing fiber instead of increasing it. I solved my IBS, constipation and bloating etc consuming a ketogenic diet which still has some fiber, just not enough to transport me across the room which is what might happen if you increase yours if what your saying the symptoms are from your existing fiber consumption. Just…

I just want to point out a few things regarding that study. Christopher Gardener the lead author for this study is the director of nutritional studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Centre and he's also the director of Stanford's Plant Based Diet Initiative which is also funded by Beyond Meat who clearly has advocated…

This. One tip that works well is after you bring the rice to a simmer is to put it covered in a 350 oven for 15 minutes, works well and allows another burner to be available for another task.

Well Tom, I'm certainly not surprised you came to these conclusions.

My post wasn't about weight gain, fat loss or calories.

I believe the Dr. might be suffering from a "brain cloud" and a sea voyage to the volcanic Island of Waponi Woo might be the only remedy, just kidding. :D Anyway, a 36 hour "alternate day fast" will burn adipose tissue for energy, and yes, some will be belly fat but it's not specifically just belly fat, that's not how it…
