Sugar will not hinder weight loss other than the fact that foods high in sugar sometime correlate with being dense in calories. If you are counting calories properly and staying in a deficit, you will lose weight. I am assuming you're not diabetic or suffer from another metabolic disorder.

I fast, but not for that reason. Basing your diet off of the mentality that you are punishing yourself or "making up" for a day is a nice basis for an eating disorder.

Nothing wrong with any kind of sushi. Are you on a low carb? If so, sashimi is about your only route.

Did she happen to mention the reasoning behind her claims?

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that carbs affect people with metabolic disorders a bit differently than someone with no MDs. Nothing to worry about if you're not diabetic/insulin resistant.

Carbs=sugar. They will not slow down your weight loss. There are no advantages to a low carb diet vs. a "normal" diet of the same calories in terms of weight loss. If you count calories, then all you have to do is get an adequate amount of protein and fat and remain in a calorie deficit. You can enjoy carbs all you want…

Giving you a hard time. :-) What was your post about that he repped you? /hijack

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

AA FTMFW.

Very entertaining. I implemented a ketogenic diet for around 10 weeks a while back (for increased satiety). This is the same reason I implement IF. I LOVE TO EAT, and hunger control is something I strive after. Lol. Keto was fine until I realized there was no way I could sustain the diet and be happy/generally satisfied…

Yep. I've read Lyle's book "The Ketogenic Diet", and I think this has to be the best publication available explaining the physiology behind ketosis.

Bookmarked. I am always in constant search of this....since one of the rebuttles is "Lyle clearly thinks that a low CHO is superior". I will say that for someone that doesn't completely understand the way the body oxidizes nutrients, his statements can be taken in the sense that he believes that low carb has metabolic…

Sorry, thermic effect of food. Alcohol is labeled as 7.1 calories per gram, but the real value is more along the lines of 5.7 calories due to the thermic effect of food (TEF) which is 20% of the ingested calories. This makes the TEF of alcohol a close second to protein (20-35% depending on amino acid composition). The…

Eating at night is no different than eating in the morning. Dropping carbs will in turn drop you overall caloric intake for the day, in the event that protein and fats are not increased. In all comes down to energy balance, calories in vs. calories out. No matter what time of day you eat them, or how frequent. Fat- 9 cal/g…

This exactly.

Happy BDAY!

Ah ha. Understood. I apologize for snapping back... I however train "fasted" in the mornings as well. I take a BCAA supplement beforehand, however. I don't follow the Leangains approach to a tee, but check this link out when you have a chance. Quite a few interesting things on here, and they are all backed by studies.…

I wish!!!! There are none in WV, but I love them when I travel.

^ Very good post :-)

I like big words. Lol. Congrats on your results, honestly. I too felt hungry all the time eating small and frequent meals.

Two years. I have nothing to prove. Science<correlative results. Just that plain simple. Keep on eating 6 meals a day because you think it has benefits for metabolic functions. Not hurting me in any way.

Not sure if you're serious? Your response is clearly indicative of someone with nothing to back up their claims. I expected nothing else from you. Do you know ANYTHING about the human metabolic systems? Here's the ISSN's stand. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21410984 One stating improved health on 1/meal day. Incresed…

If you feel the need to base what you do off of correlative results, which IMO is a very poor way of basing your diet... I eat MAX 3 meals a day. If you call 315lbs to 173lbs weight loss, then sure. I in NO way support basing your diet off of correlative results. Just because someone that has big muscles wears blue shirts…

Major LULZ from posting that as a "study". Strong misunderstanding of empirical studies vs. an article from a BB magazine. Better drink your protein shake quick before the catbolizms set in.

Awesome! Again, it comes down to personal preference.

Correlation does not imply causation. It "works", but it's by no means necessary. I challenge people to provide studies because the vast majority of dietary "understandings" are myths and are based solely on CORRELATIVE evidence. Why make losing weight any more difficult than it has to be?

No problem! The first couple of days are a little hard in the mornings if you're used to breakfast. Hunger and satiety hormones like ghrelin and GLP-1 will actually start to regulate to adjust to your lowered meal frequency. Try it for at least a week and see if it doesn't help a bit. Eating small frequent meals IMO keeps…

The biggest thing that helped me with hunger is skipping breakfast, eating a light lunch, and then eating the remaining calories for the day ~2 hours before I go to bed. Night time hunger is the worst for me, so I like to go to bed feeling full.

Something else to think about. Things people may consider "healthy". Vegetables Meats Cheese Throw it all together and bake it, call it "pizza", and now suddenly it's "unhealthy". It may be calorically dense for its size, but if you count the calories and add them to your daily intake, what's the problem? :-)

If you can fit pizza into your caloric budget for the day, go for it. No need to deprive yourself of any one food because you feel it will hinder your weight loss. Weight loss comes down to energy balance. Calories in vs. calories out. If you maintain a deficit and burn more than you take in, you will lose weight. Get most…
