Extremes never worked...personally I aim for 100% but settle for 80%...also the "all or nothing"-mentality usually dont work long term...

I remember when I was taking an opioid (Tramadol) during 2 years and I had exactly the same withdrawal symptoms as getting of that drug as I have getting of carbs (took a lot less time though) - body aches, flu-symptoms, etc etc. i.e. I am pretty sure that carbs have a similar drug-like effect... Sometimes when I have a…

HIIT for cardio and low volume (1 set / 5-6 compound exercises fully body 2-3 times per week) and low rep for strength (6-8 reps)...10 min is enough for each...

MCT oil, salt and magnesium citrate :D

awesome reply, so you agree or disagree with the statement?

For me CICO is a poor instrument due to: - Estimation or measure calorie in - Estimation or measure calorie out (your BMR is the majority here) - How does your food choice affect your BMR, your hormones, regulation, etc? Also fat loss and gain is not linear, e.g. if I weigh 100kg, and ate so that I would lose 1kg / week,…

the question is...how much do you burn? (yes I know there are very generic TDEE calculators) I like this article: (it really explains well that CICO isn't as easy as it sounds) http://evidencemag.com/eat-less-move-more/ In the end you have to have to do "trial and error" and measure "everything"...

I follow a ketogenic diet, here are some practical/ready to eat food choices: canned sardines, smoked salmon, almonds, walnuts, "ready eggs", hard cheese, dried meat, butter, mayonnaise Before my workout I have coffee+coconut oil and afterwards whey protein Also eat a lot of vegetables otherwise you will be constipated,…

lol yeah...:-)

yes sorry about that, doing my best, english is (as you know by now) not my native language + I am dyslexic...

depends what you mean by long term, I have done (this time) low carb since december, and I am not feeling depraved...we are all different, maybe it doesn't work for you also I normally eat carbs, somewhere between 50...100g, mostly from vegetables and berries

thanks! now we are getting somewhere ;-) after reading the guideline (from U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES), I was wrong, I'm not doing a VLCD (<800kcal/day) but a LCD - 1200...1500kcal/day which the guideline is recommending for weight loss. Also for the record I don't think BMI is a good measure, but ok lets…

welcome to the internet :-) people have a choice to read, to comment, and not to...;-) maybe I expected a little more "scientific" discussions, but so far mostly empty statements which are supposed to be based on "conventional wisdom" and "common sense", sorry that might convince some people but not me... E.g. I even…

normally I eat back my exercise calories (I explained it in an earlier post), during these 2 weeks I do not eat back

please read my first post, but to summarize: 2 weeks on low carb diet and I have around 16...19% body fat. Your body only need fat and protein, glucose it can create itself (there is no such thing as essential carbohydrates) and for the xth time (which people does not seems to understand)_ - this is NOT a long term thing -…

so isn't then MFP also - insane/ludicrous/idiotic etc (+ all other things Ive been called) to propose this low caloric intake, I mean, I will be without nutrition, since nutrition is a function of calorie intake...yeah, it's true because somebody stated it here ;-) and then shrivel up and die...

I aim for 90g protein and 90g fat each day, I'm fat adapted with a body fat of around 16-19%, my current weight is 95kg i.e. I carry around 17 kg of fat (17x9'000= 153'000kcal), so I also want to find out what happens being fat adapted with a lot body fat stored and at the same reduce my calorie intake to 1200 kcal / day

do tell us ;-)

good job! :)

your welcome :)

hence "experiment" ;-)

people are welcome with opinions :) and I'm genuinely moved about that so many cares about me...and at the same time stupidize me...really confusing

best analogy ever... ;) the idea came from: http://fitnessblackbook.com/main/starvation-mode-why-you-probably-never-need-to-worry-about-it/ and even the Mayo-clinic: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/mayo-clinic-diet/art-20045460 maybe the Mayo-clinic also endorse coke... ;)

I lightened up by asking for popcorn, but you flagged me. So I'm a little confused on what you want from us exactly? [/quote] sorry but I didn't flag you...and I don't want anything from anyone, just writing about my experiment...but a lot of people seems to get outraged of an experiment that I am doing on myself, that I…

sorry I have dyslexia, enjoy your day

sorry I have not flagged anyone..why do people keep writing that????

maybe that will be the final conclusion, I nowhere stated that this is a good & healthy approach, hence the title...

just a minor update, today I was a little sluggish during my fasted morning stroll, and during rest of the day I felt a little "flat", so therefore I skipped the weight training...

Not so much exercise, just a morning walk (LISS), no intensity at all

IF comes more or less natural to me since I cannot eat breakfast... After more than 15 years of testing different diet lifestyles, keto/low carb is the only that works for me, my willpower is simple not strong enough to eat in moderation on a carb-based diet, i.e. it always end up in a glorious binge...
