False. See Intermittent fasting. www.leangains.com www.eatstopeat.com

The point of exercise isn't to burn calories or "make up for" mistakes. The point of exercise is to repartition the calories you eat toward muscle rather than fat. Eat your post-workout meal as if no mistakes happened - continue dieting tomorrow. Do not input exercise into MFP for the "calorie burn". Do not assume because…

1) Intermittent fasting 2) Exercise like a man - you will not turn into one - "arm, leg, core routines" won't cut it 3) Cardio can hamper weight loss EDIT: 4) Refeed weekly My two cents. Cheers.

this, of course, is complete non-sense http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9155494

These aren't studies. Fasting is completely natural and normal - and a fantastic way to drop weight... you've posted opinions. these are studies: Heilbronn LK, et al. Alternate-day fasting in non-obese subjects: effects on body weight, body composition, and energy metabolism. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2005;…

possibly - jason ferruggia also recommends not drinking water with meals to improve digestion... though, i feel the difference would be minimal at best

Cut your calories gradually - especially if you're not carb-cycling (or the like)... have a refeed day or two... resume dieting with a moderate deficit... keep your diet high in solid proteins

You're right - 2x maintenance is an arbitrary number - sometimes it's 3x maintenance! for some trainees it's 1.5x maintenance. It cannot be studied because of variations in somatotypes. Regardless, the studies state "OVERFEEDING" meaning eating above maintenance. I currently have a client that started a cyclical diet with…

Both links work for me... the first study concludes that: Leptin administration counteracts the adaptations that are actuated by the drop in leptin concentrations and thereby disrupts energy balance to promote weight loss. The second one you read incorrectly: CHO Over-feeding, but NOT fat over-feeding, increases energy…

I'm not implying that at all, though it is very likely at that weight.... but you are only considering ONE of the things that happen during a calorie restricted state and that is fat loss... you have to consider some of the other mechanisms/pathways/functions of the body... you said it yourself, the body isn't fully…

You're not serious, are you? So, people who weigh 300+lbs don't produce glucocorticosteroids??? Yes - they can last longer in a staved state but you're still way off-base - the body is always attempting to maintain homeostasis - chronic disruption to this is seen as "stress". It's very likely that this person has…

Incorrect. Starvation mode is not defined as "having enough fat to feed your body"... it is defined as "the stress of not being able to fuel your body to maintain the status quo". Regardless of your bodyweight, your body will down-regulate your metabolism via T3 and Leptin after chronic calorie restriction.... What boosts…

Sounds like you need a cheat-day to boost leptin levels back to where you will begin to see fat loss. 1200kcal/day is fine regardless of what people tell you... provided that once every 7-10 days you "cheat" where you eat well above (2x) your maintenance calories in mostly starchy carbohydrates. This is not anecdotal - it…

Usually called "stubborn fat", it was meant for survival when we evolved. The scientific reasoning behind it is the fat cells in the abdomen (for men), hips (for women) have a greater alpha-2 receptor density - which means very slow/limited fat burning. There are ways to counteract the effects of this receptor but those…

I can attest to the effectiveness of Intermittent Fasting... I employ it daily as a trainer with clients... i have been personally doing it Leangains style for the past few years with amazing results. Though, I don't agree with the documentary which claims you need to reduce protein intake to be successful... nor do I…

You are on the right track - most new dieters experience the "whoosh" effect within the first few weeks. You will see a sudden decrease in weight (water+fat) usually followed by a refeed (cheat-day). Make sure you are incorporating a cheat day every 1-2 weeks where you eat above maintenance. Contrary to popular belief,…
