Because it has a meaning to the public and how they use it, not only how it might be clinically defined. Asking the public doesn't mean they don't ask experts (they do) nor does it mean they will accept any half-fart of an idea as their final guidance (we can hope).

An operation where I found myself bleeding to death in a hospital hallway, after they took a (special type) catheter out, went into shock and was only conscious enough to say "no penicillin" ... I'm still here. Scary moment. Big endian or small endian?

Of course. Have you killed a pig?

Gale, I have no idea why you are moving from one subject to another like skipping stones. Are you actually saying that someone on a high vegetable diet with mid to high carb volumes has a higher cancer rate than someone eating high fat/high protein? Those studies that demonstrate some sort of correlation at high levels of…

Lol. First off, fat does trigger insulin release. It just happens at a slower rate and at much lower concentrations but it is there. Second, habitual coffee intake results in increased fasting insulin concentration (probably through mechanism of decrease in insulin sensitivity). And all along you are forgetting about…

I've read that a dozen times, I need a translator.

No, not really.

Relatively good advice! Stop with the sweets - one tends to use treats as a little plus and these calories add up. If you aren't tracking calories then stopping these is a fast way slow down weight gain or begin weight loss. Furthermore, resistance to insulin and the spikes from sweets is *not a good thing* for a…

Man, talk about setting the bar low.

Just no. Not even wrong.

Your hormones affect where and how you store fat, being active impacts fat distribution. Specific exercises do not.

Yes. Certain androgenic molecules will specifically target weight distribution and a highly active person *may* tend to see a redistribution of weight over an extended period of time *if* this has an effect on androgenic production or balance. However, if it is about doing special exercises to lose weight in your arms then…

? Perhaps you mean medically? No, I am very circumspect to make no medical claims, Gale. In fact, if you read my history I am someone who consistently and strongly recommends that people reach out and adhere to advice provided by medical professionals acquired from face to face consultations. In this case, this isn't about…

Yes, actually, I am*. Other than various degrees in the biomedical field and research in biology - there is also a strong published research body of evidence that meal timing and meal frequency have a very small, if any effect on weight loss directly through fat burning. Any strong statement to the contrary just fails to…

Which is likely only realistic at the upper end of weight loss.

You look damn good for an old fart. (sorry, couldn't help it.) Try different sources of protein.

What do you mean "a lot of fat"? Are you getting enough protein? Is so, in a calorie restricted diet, there is no such animal as "a lot of fat". Get your protein, track cals, done.

This is basically the building blocks of fat... Carbon and hydrogen (toss in a few oxygens and other stuff but 99% carbon and oxygen) As has been mentioned the carbon, once broken down goes out as CO2. And the hydrogen is also mixed with oxygen to make water. Excreted or used in other processes. Well, partially true. Those…

Auto da Fe - a novel, by Elias Canetti - the situation around receiving and having that book led to my four daughters...

Nope. That's mumbo jumbo. If you eat 1300 calories spread out over 10 meals or only eat 1300 calories in one meal a day you'll burn the same amount of fat. Intermittent fasting may help some people with hunger signaling, calorie control, satiety, etc... and if that works for you great! But let's keep it real and stop with…

Totally unrealistic goal. Some weight loss fluctuation is normal. Holding too tightly to goals makes them very hard to reach.

25g added sugar not total. If you stick to mostly non-processed food it is relatively easy. And whey is a protein source - forget about fighting viruses or causing cancer - it does neither in regular usage of supplementation.

Some people have used and been fine there have been a few people that had real issues. This is basically an untested food if you want to use it as a monolithic nutrient resource. I'm not going to be someone's test case in this area. But look at the soylent web site - there are a few DIY tools.

This guy needs to learn better password management. Hot motorcycle gals don't want to stumble across your teletubby video collection or your (ex) wife's correspondence and that barely used dictionary app.

If it is transitional make sure you are getting enough fat in your diet, hormones can't be made without it. Get outside for sunlight and exercise - that will also help. Keep alcohol limited - while it disinhibits, general increase of alcohol can have negative affect on libido. If you are feeling stressed about it or in…

You don't need to pay to lose weight. Start there.

Completely, we should have laws that follow Leviticus 26:1 and do not allow the use of images of things in heaven or earth. It would solve so many problems if we just followed that and stoned those that looked askance and did not follow the words of a judge.

Because adherence is related to finding something that you can engage against. Buy-in occurs on a variety of factors from lifestyle, logic and preference. And there are those that response better to specific changes in macros. The fact that you (or I) find a low carb diet difficult to adhere doesn't make it unsound for…

I'm not sure Orange is the New Black is really going to do it for cycling. You want Breaking Away, PeeWee's Great Adventure and Premium Rush. Sufferfest isn't bad. OTNB is really best reserved for rowing, digging and grass mowing.

Walking is a good exercise. And you can reach your goal just doing that. However, weight loss is generally also about body composition and trying to retain muscle mass during loss, both for aesthetics and metabolic function. Consider the value of adding other exercise as you move along and change your lifestyle - walking…
