^This. And feeling like you're "cheating", and the subsequent feeling that you need to "make up for it" can create an unhealthy relationship with food. We aren't perfect, nor should we strive to be.

The unaware will hopefully learn some day. Even in a ketogenic diet with zero carbs, the glycerol component of triglycerides are converted into glucose... Oh, and I am very well acquanted with the brothers... eat Ben & Jerry's every night!

I've heard of leg day, chest day, arm day... but no rest day. What is that muscle? How do you train it? 3 days ;)

Assuming they are staying within their caloric limit and not over-eating at night, then no, they aren't lying... they just don't realize undigested food, water retention, water weight etc will make their scale weight seem higher depending on the time of day they weigh themselves, how soon they weigh themselves after eating…

Yes. I always think of Michael Phelps in the Olympics, when he had 45 minutes between various meets, and had to get calories in. Didn't even matter where the calories came from... It always makes me laugh when someone swears by eating only certain foods to "fuel" your body.

Eating can lead to developing type 2 diabietes?

Caloric surplus, progressive overload, rest, repeat to build muscle... Assuming overall protein intake during the day is sufficient (edit to steal @AJ_G's statement about adequate protein) nutrient timing comes in dead last.

"complex" carbs won't magically make you gain lean muscle. As was stated above, your caloric surplus will determine your bulk, genetics will determine the rate of fat gain to muscle gain. As @jacksonpt stated, fat gain is unavoidable if you want to put on muscle. If you want to try to gain as little fat as possible, then…

For weight loss, calories are the ONLY thing. If you are referring to trigger foods and cravings as a reason for weight stall or gain, this is due solely to increased caloric intake over caloric burn. No one denies that there are individuals that struggle with self control. However, weight loss is simple CICO.

Nope... not even once

How do you have a "healthier" relationship with food by eliminating sugar? You do know that rice, veggies, fruits, etc contain sugar, yes? So you've eliminated an entire food group? Doesn't seem like a "healthy" relationship with food to me... *the derp*

?? You are performing a hight bar squat. LolBro gave solid advice

It would actually be considered a deficit deadlift if you lift from the floor, since it requires more mobility than the normal range of motion with a regular bar and plates. Deficits are a great variation that builds strength from the bottom, and depending on weight, also helps with lockout. However, you are doing romanian…

No, you actually stated "Many people will state their opinion as if it were fact but actually don't know anything about it" I assume present company was included in that response. Again, please link the studies you've read on CLA supplementation for fat loss (not cancer treatment). Also, are you 100% sure we don't know…

Looked at your diary, so either you aren't logging the foods you eat at night, or you are eating the majority of your food at night. There is nothing wrong with eating the majority of your calories at night, or all of them for that matter, as long as you are within you caloric limits. It will not hinder weight goals, and…

Strong 43rd post. Please supply links to the studies you have read on this subject. Also, how did you determine that we don't know anything about CLA supplementation?

Thank you for your insight. Truly appreciate it!

Was it my intellect that caused a momentary lapse of memory???

Thank you brotha!

Healthy, non-diabetic levels are usually below 120, and it is rare for a healthy, non-diabetic to approach or even exceed 140, due to the first-phase insulin response from nutrient intake. This first phase response is either absent or extremely weak in type 2 diabetics, causing higher BG throughout the day. I'm not an…

^This. A LCHF diet may make the most sense. Keeping track of your overall carb intake in relation to other macros is more reliable. Glycemic index isn't real world unfortunately - it measures glycemic reponse when ingesting only carbs in a fasted, overnight state. Most, if not all your meals are mixed and ingested in a fed…

If "snacking" is putting you over your caloric goals, it doesn't matter when it occurs. If "snacking" is factored into your caloric goals, it doesn't matter when it occurs.

As was stated earlier, it would be interesting to see a study run over a longer period. However, with that being said, I don't believe results from fasted cardio are statisticaly superior compared to a fed state. I do believe that it is individual preference. If one can perform to the best of their abilities fasted, then…

^This. I just look at is as a "F*$k it, I'm not gonna log all my food" day. However, from a psychological standpoint, a "cheat" day (if you must call it that), is extremely beneficial.

^This. Unless you have health reasons to limit fat, why go with MFP's default? Change your goals to suit your personal preference. There is nothing magical about a 40-30-30 split for weight loss.
