PHATFOBIA

I think it falls into the the category of '**** happens'.

Doctors know **** all about nutrition and the real science of dieting, bodyfat regulation & storage etc. I agree with the other guy who said you need to eat MORE. Its counter-intuitive but there you have it. Your metabolism has been compromised by too long a time doing low-cal dieting. Calories-in-calories-out is a fallacy…

There are numerous scientific studies done in recent years which show that fasting is counter-productive for women as opposed to men. If you're going to do anything this drastic read up on protein-sparing-modified-fasts. In any case fasting for that short a period is unlikely to do much whether positive or negative.

Excellent! I feel so sad that you deprived yourself of the sheer pleasure of the sun and the water on your bare skin for so many years. No-one should ever feel they have to hide this way so people should think twice about commenting about anyone else's body in bathers or whatever. Live and let live. People should feel free…

Great work in your diet and training but once you follow the links it does tend to feel like this post is a feeder link intended to promote advertising for the Venus Index programs and products.

I think you need to be clearer about your goals. You say you want to be 'fit and thin' and look like you work out but on the other hand you want to be more like your shredded triathlete friend. It doesn't sound like these are the same thing. I think you would LOOK better with some more shapely muscle and not necessarily…

How radical are you prepared to be to achieve this as quickly as possible and are you prepared to give up the preconceived ideas that haven't been working for you so far?

How can that be right when ketogenic and zero to very low carb diets have been around for ages and used quite successfully? A syncopal episode is just fainting, right? Like losing consciousness because blood pressure got too low? Why would a lack of dietary carbohydrate ever cause that in someone with no blood sugar…

Your obsession with 'sugar' is pointless. The only sugar you should be worried about is as has been pointed out sugar that is added to processed foods. There is ZERO point in tracking any other kind of sugar. In fact if you just stick to unprocessed whole foods generally there will be no sugar to worry about. You haven't…

CDC recommendations are nonsense except for the truly clueless. That amount of protein isn't enough to sustain anything. Just about all your bodily processes especially 'building' functions require protein so its not just muscle its your skin, hair, nails, your body's ability to heal and repair, your ability to regenerate…

Why would anyone suggest a MALE only thread?

I cannot believe that ANYONE with even the slightest knowledge about health and nutrition with ANY amount of weight to lose or other health issues would even consider keeping up with a habit of drinking soft drink or soda pop as you call it. EVER. Most of you talk as though it was an essential foodstuff or cultural…

Hi, I'd be interested to know what your doctor said about how he could tell you'd definitely need the surgery? I too am absolutely petrified about the possibility that I will need it. I feel damaged enough already by a lifetime of weight issues not to now have to deal with this as well. So far I have just kept it in the…

Sorry but lifting 4-6 hours a day is RIDICULOUS. What was your body composition during that period? The best of experts and even professional bodybuilders would laugh out loud at this regime. What on earth were you trying to achieve?

Hi, To what extent did this happen because she was diabetic? That is, whilst I understand any kind of extreme is probably bad for anyone, in a person without diabetes am I right in thinking it would not have come to this type of emergency situation even at negligible carb intake? Thanks.
