If you're talking about strength training, its important to develop a split so that no muscles are overtrained. For instance you don't want to do legs every day of the week or chest two days in a row. As long as you mix up what you do and be careful you can go to the gym every day. I usually only rest on Sundays.

Get your macros in check. Tinker with those and see if anything changes. Calories aren't the end all be all of weight loss.

I'm pretty sick of people quoting this guy like he's the ultimate authority on nutrition and all of its components.

Arguing about this is as pointless as arguing about religion. Neither side's mind is going to be changed. I just wanna say one thing. Tiger, earlier you said that insulin doesn't decrease lipolysis. Guess what? Wrong. <3

Good short term decision, bad long term decision. It will not, however, derail any kind of weight loss accomplishments you've made.

Did you miss the part at the end where he said "according to the calories in/calories out theory I should've only lost 7.5 pounds" ?

AMEN!

You've made so many valid points, how could I NOT write you off as a moron?

Cuz calories is calories bro. Duh. I mean since calories are the only thing that matter, right?

How adorable, your minions are fighting your battles for you.

I think "and lifting heavy things" should be emphasized instead of the former because that is what matters. Roid rage? Oh lord. Give me a break *kitten*. All of you, should try reading a book for once in your life. Gary Taubes explains why thermodynamics don't apply in both of his books AND all of his presentations.…

Okay, I understand you're well intentioned and you just want to help this guy out and I really respect that but seriously calories are just a number, they don't mean anything. If all of his calories are coming from ice cream, don't you think his body would handle that differently than if it came from vegetables or meat?…

If you're trying to make a point, I missed it. Once you have a degree in physics or nutrition, your word is credible. Until then, you're just a guy on the internet spreading broscience to people who don't know any better. Oh please spare me your wikipedia regurgitation. Thanks.

You're an idiot. Thermodynamics don't even apply to the human body because energy expenditure is impossible to measure firstly. Calories are useless, and counting them is useless. Macronutrients are what matter. Also, I'll take your ignorant, sarcastic reply as an admission of knowing nothing about the mechanisms of…

That's an insanely low calorie goal, I'd seriously suggest upping that to at least 1600. The diet you're on should be one you can live on and live with for the rest of your life. It shouldn't be so extreme that eventually you'll be deficient and sickly. It's important to consider this because once you have reached your…

If you're consuming below 100g of carbs a day you could be in a mild state of ketosis.

Gluconeogenesis only happens to protein when more protein is consumed than fat. If fat is the most plentiful then fat will be utilized. Yes, they do. Clearly you do not understand how insulin works.

Very good decision on going Paleo! You are probably indeed experiencing ketosis breath. That is basically just additional acetone acid that ends up in your saliva. Some say its metallic taste, I mostly experience a more fruity taste. To put it in a nutshell, ketosis is when your body has to use an alternative fuel source…

I'm having a hard time finding a question in here. What do you want advice on exactly?

Says who?

This is when any and all of your credibility was lost. A carbohydrate is a carbohydrate. You can paint it, dress it up, call it a different name, or whatever you please but the end result is still the same thing. It's going to become glucose molecules and insulin will spike. Carbs and insulin make you fat and keep you fat.…
