Yes, you can drink beer/eat bread/etc. as long as it fits into your caloric goal. If you are retaining water (usually from sodium) drink more water to flush it out. Calories affect your weight. Eat too many calories and you will gain weight. So, whether it's real beer or non-alcoholic beer doesn't matter. All that matters…

I'm trying to say that there is no difference between the carbs in bread and the carbs in your non-alcoholic beer. And, actually, non-alcoholic beer has more carbs than regular beer.

Zooey Deschanel looks like she smokes crack? What?

Please do! Actually, please send it to my Aunt in the Ukraine. We have made contact and she has agreed to facilitate my release.

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.
