Sounds legit. I think I'll pick some up after I finish wiring bail money to my long-lost friend in Nigeria.

I think my gif of the day belongs here, too.

Actually, yes you did. I see it has been deleted though.

Exactly. Because, while the theory is easy and it works, it IS hard to cobble together the willpower to make it happen. Much easier to give up before you start.

Nice job promoting a clear spammer. Dude, seriously?

That's where the difference is though. Having success and knowing what works are two very different things. Let's take professors, for example. My corporate finance professor was brilliant. He didn't want to work on Wall Street though - the environment wasn't right for him. So, he's not a multi-millionare trader. But, man,…

Exactly.

That's you personal choice, but it still doesn't mean that someone who understand the basics principles of CICO (either because they understand the science or they have successfully lost weight) isn't able to say it works. All it means is that they didn't have the willpower to sustain it. Two very different concepts.

But that's a personal choice. It doesn't mean that they don't know what works.

Right, but just because they have regained the weight, doesn't mean they don't understand what works.

Mind blowingly ignorant.

Ok. And I think that if a person has had success and lost weight....only to regain it 7 years later...that person saying it works isn't wrong. They just lost control. That doesn't mean they can't reflect on what works, because they know what works because they've done it. Just because they aren't practicing it, doesn't…

That's not a failing of CICO. That's a failing on the part of the person.

It's really not. I'm not sure someone need 10 years to say something worked. That's crazy talk.

Thank you for this.

Wow.

I think at this point he's just arguing because he doesn't want to admit he is wrong.

I think you are being intentionally obtuse here. It's really a shame. I used to be on a VLCD. My dedication was AWESOME. I was also anorexic. There's nothing in the OP that implies she's dedicated to anything long term and sustainable. She'd looking for a crash diet. It's not healthy. Period.

So, now you are saying that someone who can't adhere to this crazy plan isn't enthusiastic or dedicated? Enthusiasm and dedication only go so far when you are STARVING. But, hey, keep defending yourself. You're just digging a deeper hole.

I don't know. I just create them in my head haha. But there was a great one going around in an image. It might actually be in the chemical chicken thread.

Stick around. Bingo threads happen ALL THE TIME. LOL.

Congrats on the loss! You are working hard, no doubt about it.

Yeah and the chances of that happening are pretty slim. I agree with wolfman. You should be ashamed of yourself for giving false hope that this can actually happen without negative repercussions. ESPECIALLY since she only has 25 pounds to lose.

This. I mean I just can't even fathom what it would take and how miserable I would be to try to pull something like this off.

Right. That's about a 2300 calories deficit A DAY. And, on top of that, she needs to have the energy required to "focus on fitness." Sorry, no way this is happening in a healthy way no matter how focused she is at the gym or in the kitchen. It's a very aggressive plan that will lead to bingeing in most people.

Ok, so please explain to all of us "naysayers" how this is going to accomplish a 20lb loss in 4 weeks. I'd be interested to see the calculations you are using to support this.

10/10 would bang that letter.

Stop entering "homemade steamed carrots" and just enter carrots. Then pick the weight. Steaming them isn't going to change the calories. If you add butter or oil, log that as butter or oil. I never use other people's homemade entries.
