DitchTheMcFlurry

Hmmm this thread sounds familiar..... Go with your doc, he/she knows you better than anyone on here does therefore his/her advice will be better than anyone on here can give you, bare in mind the advice you get on here is from that persons experience, that dosnt mean its what YOU should be doing.

Most sane people would id imagine, can you imagine walking into a doctor or dieticians room listening to his/her advice and then going" NO your soo wrong, Mr ilovestrawberrys from the internet told me that isnt right so im ignoring your advice see ya! Youve then wasted time and money and made yourself look like a nob in…

Surely given your superior qualifications theyd hire you in a shot over these no nothing fools though? and that wasn't sarcasm its a genuine question, if these people are so dumb how did they get qualified in the first place? and if you know so much more why did you insist on seeing one in the first place? Cheers for the…

Christ, its amazing how anyone ever lost weight, havnt seen many bald anorexic girls lately though, maybe they use wigs?

Maybe its not the case a person WANTS to eat below their bmr? have you ever considered this? maybe a person uses their bmr to work out their TDEE and roughly what they burn a day and builds a weight loss plan around that? maybe a person dosnt live their life obsessing over an estimated bmr number? if that plan then leads…

Missed it? of course, i genuinely sat here in a state of shock thinking you thought he looked great, you mean to say you didnt think that at all!? Good good, dont let the door hit you on the way out, even though the point youve missed already has :)

Sounds like your talents are being wasted bro, i say get out there and show em how its done, your obviously an expert.

Awesome, you missed the point spectacularly, take a bow.

Yup im the same, sensible healthy eating that satisfys my body to me seems a much healthier way to go than binging on excess calories to satisfy an online calculators ideas on whats right for me.

First off thanks for your post and conformation im not on a path to meet my maker, you can stay. only messing! :) See thats the thing, unless my eyes are deceiving me (and im very harsh on myself at the best of times) ive not lost any muscle, the fact im able to train longer lift more and basically do more strength work…

Cheers for that mate, ive read all over the net on weight loss and forums really are the only place i ever see BMR take such major importance, dieticians and nutritionists dont even mention this from what ive seen and when they do its not to make a big deal out of dropping below it unless your being a total idiot and…

My goal at the start was to lose 2lbs a week, i read up on many fitness trainers comments which said this amount of weight loss is perfectly fine for people who want to get down to a low body fat% and then go on a bulk, thats what my goal is, if i were to eat my bmr even with my exercise it would be touch and go at best if…

Ok: Your right about calorie counting, as i made mention in my opening post and many times since i dont count every single calorie in what i eat, i dont weigh my food or anything like that, it would drive me nuts and id look like someone with an eating phobia! what i do is try and use some common sense, get a basic idea of…

See im very new to weight loss, on friday ill be a month into it, and literally when i started if someone asked me what BMR was i wouldn't have had a clue, and if it was a girl asking me id assume it was some stupid member of one direction, i didnt know about any of this, neither did any of my family so i have no idea what…

If you want to know the best advice on this subject read this link below, this guy will tell you to the last gram. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=143295933

Meal frequency and or timing is totally irrelevant for body composition. The words of this guy: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=143295933

You poor thing, still youve survived this long, you have my respect :)

I was going to reply to this in depth but after reading your last sentence and having covered that SOOOOOO many times i wont bother, if you cant read properly dont bother replying to me, if your going to claim ive said things i havnt dont bother replying to me, its a waste of your time and mine.

Ok i think we got off on the wrong foot and i also think your misunderstanding me as well as i was you earlier in this thread, let me clear some things up on my side. Im really not saying "everyone eat below bmr its fine its great im doing it you should" NO, im not saying this at all, im saying this is at the moment at…

Man all this talk about Christian Bale! ive got a sudden urge to watch Batman now!

Hahaha quality, and the point ive been trying to make. People get so caught up in online numbers and feel they have to live their lives of these godlike numbers otherwise they will die or develop some serious illness if they dont, if thats what you want to do its fine ive got no idea if thats 'right' or 'wrong' the truth…

The links dont work for me? but your comment isnt really in context, for example how much body fat to christian bale have at the time he started the diet? considering hes a movie star and probably worked out like a bodybuilder id say the only thing he probably could lose was muscle, how much fat do you think he had pre…

Right so basically theres no proven studies been done for people who eat slightly below their bmr? so no one knows if its 'oh so very bad your going to die book a hole in the ground time correct'? im not on a VLCD whatever, im not 'starving myself' unless my bodys playing a game of chicken and waiting to surprise me one…

There you go, your eating 700 below bmr and thats been medically prescribed, that dosnt mean thats right for everyone but it is for you, just be warned you may be told by certain people on here you going to "turn into a blabbering wreck" "start biting peoples fingers off at random" and "eventually die of…

Well i cant say how ill feel in the future all i can say is how im feeling now and i feel absolutely fine, the more cardio i do the easier its becoming, im performing longer strength training than i was before this diet and im looking far more ripped for doing so, its just comfortable, its not even a case of numbers really…

Its because of my lifestyle, its EXTREMELY sedentary, my TDEE without exercise would be 2500 roughly using my bmr estimate, if i ate my bmr which is 2200 and did nothing i wouldn't be losing much weight at all, it would take years at that rate, i dont exercise every day i have sunday as a 'rest day' which means i wouldnt…

Bingo, i think ill let my body tell me if im starving rather than an online calculater on 'myfitgirls' website (and no it really isnt what it sounds like trust me its genuine), i reckon my body knows itself a bit better than an online calculator, if people want to live their lives based on numbers thats fine go ahead im…

Hahah nah, im roughly around 500 below my calculated bmr of 2200 food intake wise, i say roughly as i dont measure every calorie its all rough estimates, but my goal was to lose 2lbs a week, 1000 off my TDEE which is around 1700 cals a day which is what i eat.

You dont lose muscle mass if you eat the right amount of protein (about 1 gram of protein per body weight so for me that would be 215 grams of protein per day) and perform strength resistance training, ive been cutting for 3 and a bit weeks and id say my muscle especially on my arms is visibly larger certainly not less and…

Here again is another reason why i posted this topic, and its the very reason why i went to the docotr in the first place, all the talk of starvation mode and bmr frets a person, you panic because thats what humans do when they think they damaging themselves because someone said so, you feel anxious and worry, that in…
