You're very welcome.

You look like you're scheming something.

Two nice smiles in a row.

Nope.

Congrats on your progress so far. What have been the keys? What are your obstacles? In an ideal situation what would be your plan?

I think you like to follow me around.

You have very smooth looking skin.

She should take off the sunglasses.

Elk, bison, seafood (salmon mostly), eggs/egg whites, nuts in moderation, and select quality carb sources. Some chicken too. I supplement with protein powder.

I agree. Net calorie deficit. That's how 6 meals a day helps me, because I never get so hungry that I go overboard. And I also agree that this conversation is more about 'intellectual curiosity' than major result drivers.

I've lost 50 pounds eating 6 times a day, sooo....

Likewise.

So you're all like doing friend requests and such?

An ammonia smell to my sweat is a dead giveaway that I've strayed off into gluconeogenesis and am no longer burning immediately available glycogen. This begins about 30 minutes into my cardio, after muscle and liver glycogen stores have been depleted, and particularly if I have not fasted. When I am trying to lose weight I…

I'd swim with him, sure.

Always complimentary.

Does he get as annoyed as me by water stains on his sunglasses?

And I'm not trying to play God with gluconeogenesis. I just know that I've experienced known side effects of gluconeogenesis after a protein-heavy breakfast when doing intense cardio later. I've tried fasted cardio to see if it results in the same side effects and I've had mixed results. Overall I'm just not sold on fasted…

Psu, by eating all the time my insulin remains elevated, not low. Admittedly, this reduces the amount my body taps into fat stores throughout the day...for the sake of a more consistently anabolic state. Then, as I rest at night, insulin stays low for a long window of time, and since I'm in a caloric deficit overall while…

mmapags, that's my point.

This is such a slimgirljo topic. 😜 And no. 😝

If you're eating food, creating a rise in insulin, you're not in a deficit at the moment. The body will process the consumed food and cannot tap fat stores. Once insulin comes back down fat stores can be tapped if needed. Fat can become glucose via gluconeogenesis. Fat is not just turned to energy via ketosis. Then the…

Got a little Kardashian going on.

Assuming insulin level is low, fat stores can be tapped by the body. The body undergoes gluconeogenesis to create glucos from stored fat. Then the glucose is transformed into glycogen to replenish muscles and the liver, as well as to feed the brain. And yes, fat loss is dependent on being in a caloric deficit.

Dude has anger issues towards trees.

I think you're fine. Don't overengineer. Just be consistent and patient. The results will come with time. If anything, just work to control the number of "way over" days you have. Also be sure you're measuring consistently, meaning the same time of day and with the same set of conditions each time. I weigh daily right when…
