Interesting article about celebrity chef "Paleo Pete" is the banning of his documentary on netflix a good call? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=12080856

We pay $140 a year ambulance cover for all family members. If you dont have it then costs start from $550 and upwards for ambulance to hospital and I think an additional cost per km/mile. We pay it over quarterly payments. A very small price to pay and we have had to use the ambulance once already so such a relief to have…

QFT

Not a matter of lack of ability to reduce carbs, but rather there is no need to if eating in a calorie deficit. That sounds kinds of judgey but whatever.

Ultimately a calorie deficit is how you have achieved weight loss, we are in agreeance with that. Its hard for me to understand why its necessary to have to lower your carb intake so drastically though when in theory its not really necessary. You can still enjoy a moderate carb intake. It would be a miserable angry…

Well it sounds like you werent in full blown LCHF mode then if you were eating too many vegetables. Just plain old calorie deficit seems to have done the trick. Well done.

I have had long-term weight loss success (almost 3 years in maintenance) without having to resort to manipulating my way of eating, no LCHF IIFYM IF KETO just good old fashioned calorie counting, and following the principles of CICO. This has made my lifestyle so much easier to follow, knowing that I do not have to be as…

So, why do you think so many people on these boards are claiming that Keto is a craze? Why isnt there many more Keto advocates here to back up their way of eating? I most certainly wouldn't relegate it to just a group chat, heck if I found sustainable success with Keto I would be shouting it from the rooftops. Another…

See bolded. I would really like to see some empirical scientific evidence to back up this comment. Better still, I would actually like to hear from more than just one person who has had long term success from following LCHF. I can only think of you and one other poster on here that are huge advocates but nobody else. Thank…

Forums mostly likely to fuel their confirmation bias.

a huge steaming pile.

From your link: "If you’re trying to lose weight, a little sugar in your morning coffee or the occasional indulgence for a special occasion may be fine. However, if you find it difficult to stop eating once you start, and it becomes a large part of your everyday diet, it’s probably smart to steer clear" Context is…

We have a 19 year old who drinks moderately and responsibly because we drink moderately and only ocassionally. Paradoxically the same 19 year old went to boarding school for five years where her meals were restrictive with not much variety and meal quantities were smaller. She is doing a gap year now before starting…

Wow amazing! How did you get results so quickly if you dont mind me asking?

I would rather be corrected than be misinformed. These boards have helped me immensely to understand health and nutrition. Living in my own bubble of denial mixed with untruths and just plain ignorance has caused nothing but anguish and failure with my health and wellbeing. To be educated and empowered from all the…

Ok have sent a private message to you. Looking forward to your response thanks :)

98% of posters can't ALL be wrong...surely???

Here's the thing. You proclaim that there is info out there for people to research. Could you at least post a link to start it off. I really want to know what you are going on about.

Show your research. Then I might just start believing you.

looking back at one of my NSVs from over two years ago and feeling proud that I am still going strong :)

FOR THE WIN

44 years young here. I log daily add me :)

Its not so much them asking me how i lost weight its more what their physical reaction was to it. For example I have four work colleagues who started losing weight once i had lost quite a bit. One did restrictive eating, lost a lot but has since left so not sure if she maintained or not. Another went on a crash diet lost…

maybe that's the whole point.

CICO IS NOT A DIET

This is how I understand CICO to be (excuse the laymans terms) CICO is an equation or formula like Albert Einsteins formula E = mc2 it cannot be disputed, it just is. CALORIE COUNTING - is whatever weight loss method or plan a person chooses to lose weight. The common denominator that ties them altogether is they involve a…

800 day streak (and in maintenance mode ATM) - 1000 days here I come!

Amazing perspective.
