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…

Ok. Still, try to find some activity you can do either by yourself or dressed like Darth Vader. Stay active. Good luck!!

Thank you for sharing and being open.

You either live your life in avoidance of certain activities or you get over it. I really disliked swimming in front of others once I gained weight, and yet I remember, as a kid being on a swim team (horrid - I was always last) but enjoying swimming in the ocean. So I focused on that - the points of pleasure, the good…

That's a very incomplete question - which regards to what? Which habits and what genetics. Genetics, habit AND environment have an intricate interplay with regards to how we develop and who we are. If you think that you can say "well, I'm not going to lose this weight because I have fat genes" and use that as some crutch…

Doubtfully accurate quote - a statement made in an abstract without reference. At the same weight and activity level these factors are relatively small. A general statement like " low-carb diets [are] lacking in nutritional value" just doesn't make sense.

I hope it doesn't prevent homeostasis. You'd be dead. Homeostasis is just a fancy word for a variety of systemic feedback loops that exist that maintain equilibrium of essential functions - this includes things like: - blood oxygen/CO2 levels - pH - glucose levels - hormone levels - hematocrit to name but a few. Weight…

Congrats!! impressive results!! Would you mind posting about your bariatric surgery experience and outlining how it was in Mexico? Pos/neg elements? Also saw you are now doing coaching, good luck, how is that going?

The correct term would be "class III obesity" or "class IV obesity" and the "super morbidly" has no actual additional differentiating clinical value. Super MO is not a WHO classification term and certainly not universally accepted - it may come from US Public Health use. It is interesting that Roxanne struggles with the FA…

Thank you, I was going to post this today. It's an interesting podcast and Lindy West echoes some of the things I believe - a lot of the "health concern" people express is just fat shaming. I might read her book. Certainly there is a lot of her discourse I don't agree with but I have huge respect for the thoughtful…

Well, looks like the right steps, let's see where this leads.

I'd likely think that your HRmax may be a bit higher. How did you test it? Anyway, would not worry about VO2max as stated previously. Your numbers suggest that you are eating on average about 1400-1500 and and have a burn estimate of 2200 for the period. Given that you've seen no loss during the period, something is off.…

Someone failed to check the odds ratio. That test does NOT shows chance of suffering heart attack within five years.

Easily - the majority of ED disorders are codified as EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) - or physicians can bill for a procedural code (a consultation) in the absence of a diagnostic code when they aren't present. You come in, you present symptoms that don't clearly give place to a diagnostic tableau - do you…

You're losing close to 10 lbs a month and complaining it is slow? :huh: Rethink your expectations because things will slow down and without understanding that you will only get more and more frustrated. Set up other goals or understand that the time focused losses (xx by date) can be so hard you'll want to quit. Does the…

Gymnastics at 70? 80? How about 92? https://youtu.be/luBWRYJRTNg He's a street performer in Frankfurt. Does bottle planks for 5 minutes or more.

Fasting cures cancer! :huh: More at 11!

Add to that the time to ramp up and learn how to lift.

To gain 3 lbs of muscle you are looking at a possible period of 3-6 months of progressive lifting (initially you are actually just focusing on neuromuscular adaptation) and do it with a small slow bulk and like it has been stated - 5-10 lb gain followed by a cut. If you want to do it at the same weight with the "drudgery"…

It's my understanding the intrusive thoughts in EDs are not fully ego-syntonic or ego-dystonic and vary significantly from patient to patient. While AN may tend to be syntonic, it isn't always. Is there a school of thought that classifies it as clear cut as you present it here?

An order of magnitude better and waterproof. The Mio has almost no functionality on the watch, just HR display, the fenix is an advanced watch environment that does pretty much everything (including control my music and video camera). They are very different devices (and prices) - please take a look at:…

Then that's not your TDEE (the 3700). What's calculated from a formulas is an estimate. TDEE means total daily energy expenditure - it is individual and changes daily and depends on your activity - both exercise and non-exercise. If you are saying that you have a TDEE of 1500 - the point were you doing gain or lose - I'd…

Fenix 3 here also (but non-HR version). I get complaints about how many times I talk about it.

What I'm see form the discussion is that there is a consensus that factors are different for different people and that they are a mix and degrees of these factors that influence overeating: -Biological (from hormonal regulation, to craving, to diseases, to desire for sweetness, depression...) -Behavioural (habits of sleep,…

"Things not in the DSM" hasn't prevented doctors from diagnosis. We have EDNOS classification. Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. It is, clinically speaking, one of the most used classifications (over 50% of ED diagnosis in the US) because many ED observed in patients do not fall into the neat classification…

Because the DSM doesn't rule language or it's use. Historically is has been politically manipulated and still contains errors and omissions that are constantly challenged. A diagnosis is not a fixed thing - disorders come in a variety of intensities, flavours and manifestations. If you get upset, and you want to "own" your…
