Glucocorticoid Member

To name some: - I just described above that some folks respond much better to high carb/low fat. These individuals usually tend to have high insulin sensitivity. For some of them, it may be preferable to keep carbs higher. - Along with endurance athletes, bodybuilders who are doing long workouts on a daily basis may…

Fact: your anecdote doesn't prove anything. You ultimately lost weight because you were in a caloric deficit, not because you lowered carbs. Did lowering carbs make it much easier to stay in a deficit for you? Probably, but your case does not apply to everyone. Insulin resistance will partially depend on genetics. Some…

I personally think Lyle sneaked grains into her diet. He's always been jealous of his sisters.

I think many of these believers are solidified in their stance when they see the initial reduction in weight by cutting out carbs. Therefore, carbs = evil fat causing devil. When the fact is that cutting out an entire macro-nutrient from your diet will usually cause folks to eat less calories.

Yeah the cheesecake 20 under. The tortilla is 50 under.

Latortilla Factory - Smart & Delicious Tortillas High Fiber 12g, Low Carb, Whole Wheat 9", 1 tortilla That says 80 calories. It should be 129 calories. Hah.

It's not a flaw silly. I'm guessing someone entered the macros or calories wrong in at least one of your foods for today.

Hormones are very relevant. But only in the sense that they affect the energy balance equation. Every calorie is still accounted for.

Only the beginning of a weight loss revolution. They're even more lipolytic than raspberry ketones.

Detoxxing is a full time job

Phew, he didn't mention that the 79 day lemon juice cinnamon detox diet is bad. We are safe guys.

Eating "clean" will not necessarily help you lose weight. And no one will be able to define it for you objectively because it has no agreed upon definition. It's already been discussed many times so you can do a search, or just read this http://www.wannabebig.com/diet-and-nutrition/the-dirt-on-clean-eating/

Watch retention can mask fat loss. Don't bother weighing yourself everyday and don't get worked up over day to day fluctuations. Folks can drop/gain 8+ of water in a day. Look for trends over time.

Regarding "eating an entire bottle" of fish oil - the bottles I buy (from Costco) contain 300 capsules, 1g each. They only cost about 5-6 bucks per bottle. I take 10g a day, so each bottle lasts a month. Given the benefits, it's well worth the cost for me. Is this really what you've gotten out of this thread? If so, you've…

I honestly have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Yeah I've read that before - probably the case here. Still helps other folks who are reading though.

I'm not "baiting" you to argue about anything. I wasn't arguing with you originally when all I did was ask you for your source, and I'm not arguing with you now. All I've done is pointed out the flaws/caveats to your made-up recommendation. If you had any evidence to support your statements, then sure, we could discuss it.…

Nothing to do with passion, everything I said is based off of scientific evidence. Okay.. I already mentioned multiple times that eating fish is fine if you manage to do it on a daily basis, but since that isn't the case for most people, I really don't know what your point is. [/quote]

Two main problems with that: The first being that not everyone wants to to include walnuts/peanut butter/almonds/etc. in their diet on a daily basis - particularly if you are dieting and your caloric allowance is already restricted. Hence another reason to supplement, you don't have to worry about the plethora of tag-along…

Which is already about double of what is recommended. And if you're eating 75g, then that would dictate about 25g of PUFAs, which can be even worse. As I've explained, this can be a bad idea - more doesn't always equal better. I realize that. But it's implied in your recommendation. And it sounds like you need to read up…

That's not exactly what I said. Your recommendations (both original and revised) can imply an extremely high PUFA recommendation (for omega-3s specifically), which can be detrimental. In terms of omega-3 dosage I would recommend around 10g of fish oil daily (assuming the individual is aspiring to improve their physique). A…

A counterpoint to what specifically?

Right, so basically you pulled your recommendation out of thin air and can't provide any evidence to support it. That's all I wanted to know, thanks. The problem with making things up is that it can be potentially harmful to others (as I alluded to in my previous post). Please try to refrain from doing so in the future.…

Why are you backpedaling on what you originally said? I'll quote it one last time for you: That means each part of the pie is roughly 1/3. Which is different than your revised statement (which could very well indicate about 33% saturated fat, 60% polyunsaturated fat, and 7% monounsaturated fat.. which is also equally…

Overly defensive much? All I did was ask you for your source. I'd hate to see how you react when someone does actually argue with you (which I'll do now). Are you saying it was not a recommendation? This sure does sound like a recommendation to me: " Your dietary fat should be roughly equal amounts of each; saturated,…

Page 2 doesn't really say what you recommended - I still don't understand how you arrived at your recommendation. Not sure how you got the impression that I was arguing with you. All I did was ask you a question (along with pointing out that monounsaturated fats are not essential).

No, that's not what you said. You said "your dietary fat should be roughly equal amounts of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated" fats. Where in your link do they support your statement?

Where in your link do they support what you said?

Monounsaturated fats are not essential Why?

He probably meant monounsaturated fats. Either that or Holy Moly unsaturated fats.

Exactly - if you're not diabetic, this supplement is pretty much over-hyped garbage.
