I see no "IF" anywhere in his original post. And still I am strongly opined that skipping meals isn't the answer. Regardless if you're making them up on the last meal or not. Glad it works for you guys! Again, plenty of people it doesn't work for. I maintain my opinion. And I do believe I clarified your argument about…

Because if you went back to the ORIGINAL POST you would see that the author mentioned NOTHING about getting his caloric requirements in one day, he ONLY mentioned skipping meals. SIMPLE ANSWER HERE. =)

Dude, just start your own thread instead of fighting TateFTW's battle. I think you just want to push people's buttons since this darn thread is so friggin long anyways.

In addition, the starter of this thread clearly indicated that he "started skipping breakfast and even lunch" and he started losing weight on demand. He made no mention that he was eating the "recommended caloric goal" for the day for his particular body. If I starved myself I'd lose weight quickly myself, I'm sure I'd…

You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. If you disagree with what I say then I'm happy for ya'. Doesn't change my mind about the thread and the information within the thread.

Circadian Rhythm.

Dear TateFTW, I disagree. This is what you do when you purge your body of the nutrients it needs to continue to function. You must have read the following: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/diet_and_fitness/article578724.ece Next thing we know people will say that anorexia and bulimia aren't medical…

This diet is based on a book/DVD program during which you will be on a strict eating plan for 17 days. After 17 days, you will switch your eating plan to a new eating plan for another 17 days, after which you will, once again switch your eating plan for another 17 days. The idea behind this is what's called "metabolic…

Definitely find this helpful. Bump because I need this reference. Thanks!

I'm not obsessed enough. Help?

Thanks, I appreciate the post. I've definitely been thinking about the whole abdominal situation. I have yet to speak with the doctor due to some restrictions and my leaving the states and stuff so I haven't been able to find out exactly what exercises are permittable in my current condition. I've tried doing some situps…

Can't do "deep knee bends". I have permanent knee problems.

Thanks for your input. I will definitely try that.

This is definitely a really awesome success story. I appreciate that you were able to share this with people you don't know. Keep up your amazing work! You will thrive with success I'm sure! By the way, you are an awesome writer. I wish I had skills to make any of my stories sound so dramatic to make readers feel like they…

Although I agree with what you're trying to say in this statement, the wording is off. Your body DOES know what time it is. Circadian Rhythms are what help our bodies differentiate between day and night. Additionally, melatonin, which is considered a "darkness hormone" (and often described as a sleep hormone), is secreted…

I rolled my ankle running back in May this year and found out that I had a torn ATFL after an MRI was done since it was still in pain a month later. I had to start attending Physical Therapy for it where we focused on Single Leg Stances, Calve Raises, BAPS boards (directional exercises to help increase motion in your…

That might be because when you drink soda it leaves your mouth/throat/tongue with a phlegm like feeling afterwards. With water you don't have any other ingredients sticking to your tongue/throat.

I will be investing in a watch that will read my pulse also. I've got permanent knee problems on top of the surgery I went through, I have to take it slow on cardio anyways. I have to search for what are some best recommended but cheap pulse watches and where I can get those from. Some I've seen at Walmart. I'm sure I will…

I just went to buy a pedometer to help me show how many calories I'm burning during the day. Hopefully that will be motivation enough to get me moving.

I've read some background about starting weight-loss regimens in the past and have concluded that you are likely to gain weight/stay the same for about 4-6 weeks before your body will adjust and start shedding weight. I'm not surprised at all. Besides, if you're doing a true workout, you may be getting leaner versus losing…

Although I like vinegar I'm not sure I'd want to really take "shots" but I've just not heard of it before.

This is true providing that when you started a regimen of your weight loss you didn't cut down in calories and just exercised instead. However, if you've cut down in calories AND you're exercising it may be different. I personally pick and chose. Some people may log their exercise prior to exercising to determine how many…

I'm at MFP coincidentally. I was browsing applications on my phone and found this app for weight loss. I tried it and thought it was pretty cool... then realized there was a website that went along with it. So I tried it and I like it so far...

And also please remember that if you try to lose weight and start eating "right" for lack of better words or intake the appropriate calories or nutrition you may see a weight gain between the first 2-4 weeks before seeing a weighloss because your body is getting used to be fed appropriately or regularly, will start storing…

Ok... say your caloric intake is 2000 and you're trying to lose weight. So then you calculate how many calories you should take in depending on how much weight you want to lose so you end up with a total intake of approximately 1200-1500 depending on what your calculations are. Now stop and think about your exercises. If…

I think that if you put your mind to it you can do it. The website is very simple to maneuver around. You can update your daily food intake through the database you will find under the "food" tab. You can also update your exercise tracker through the "exercise" tab and find different exercises under the database there.…

This is a great post and probably perfectly describes many people who have the desire to lose weight. This is an eye-opener since I kind of had the same point of view on how to eat calories and what kind to eat. Although I must say that eating healthy food makes me feel a heck of a lot better than just eating fast food.…

You definitely need to watch your calorie intake. If your tracker tells you 1590 then try to get as close as possible. Those are the minimum calories at your weight and height that you should consume for your body to continue to function properly. Another post I read in another topic outlined that for any weight loss you…

Since I just ate a banana I was completely wrong in doing so since it contains carbs... but the apple was alright... am I getting it right? For values on different fruits/veggies/meats go to: http://www.ourcivilisation.com/fat/appb.htm so you can see the intake of protein versus carbohydrates... I'm new to this dieting…

@Navy - I'm in the Army, have been for the better of 8 years. Unfortunately over the past 8 years I've also had 2 kids both with medical conditions that make you gain weight that is hard to lose. So as your username states I would assume you know all about PT. The only problem is that I have a "low-impact" profile as I…
