You've simultaneously discounted the concept of a peer reviewed study, declared the lack of studies favoring your position a conspiracy by a faction of large business, and then tried to pull an appeal to (your own) authority. In essence, you've established the fact that you wouldn't trust a doctor that disagreed with you…

Almost all evidence…

From the very little I've heard of Dukan, it sounded a bit unnecessarily complicated in the food menus and macro games. More broadly, you can't spot reduce fat. Belly fat will go when the body grabs fat from the belly, which will be whenever it feels like it, which on average will be a good deal after you wish it would.…

I'm still trying to figure out why you need mangos in a pill. Couldn't you just, like, I dunno, eat a mango? What does the mango pill do that mangos as food don't? Seriously, at least I can wrap my brain around why raspberry ketones sell; people who have heard of ketosis but have no idea what it is think that the ketone…

That's basically true of every food and element of food. Also, didn't the US already try the whole fructose is better thing, and now high fructose corn syrup is suppose to be the great satan of healthy weight?

The difference is water weight is going to come back whenever you rehydrate or (if applicable) start eating carbs again. This makes it a poor indicator of progress. In the first two weeks or so of a deficit, most of the weight lost is going to be water, since your body stores readily accessible energy with a lot of water…

Also, something to keep in mind; sometimes when you select the lose 2lbs/wk option, MFP will set a calorie limit that results in greater than 2 lbs/wk. It'll tell you on your goals screen what MFP actually thinks you'll lose every week, might want to check that. Also, some is prolly water weight if this is new.

I second this question and add two of my own; are they double-down style burger patty between buns of fried chicken? And ,more importantly, is there bacon? Oh and it's there because a. you looked up something fast food related and the ad generator pulled a fast food ad out of its cyberbutt for you to see or b. the ads are…

The first thing I decided was that, low-carb diet, sure, why not? No beer? Hell no! Reduce consumption from "whenever" to "once a month", ok, but gone forever, or at least the immediate future? NONONONONONONONONONONO! Also, no.

Ummm... k, just gonna point something out; activating the pleasure center of the brain is not the same as an addiction. Making someone feel good is not an addiction. Addictions boil down to not being able to function without the thing you're addicted to. Needing on the same level you need air. It will trump food. It will…

I tried eating salad when I started trying to lose weight for like a week straight. Before dieting, I didn't like salad much. After trying to make myself like salad, I came to the stunning conclusion that I still didn't like salad. Baffling. My solution: don't bother with salads. They are not made of fat eating wizards.…

BMR: 1907 as of now; starting was 2379 Morbid obese limit (300lbs-280lbs) 1000 Severe obese - regular obese limit (280lbs - 220lbs) 1200 Overweight Limit (current, 220lbs-183lbs): 1500 Normal (183lbs-160lbs or 130lbs, will see when at 160lbs) : current plan is 1750 limit I don't see my goal as a target to shoot for; I see…

mid 20's to mid 30's per day on average net. ratio is 55/35/10 fats/protein/carbs.

Welp, there's your problem; mistyped your weight. Go redo you're goals, and enter your weight accurately.

I only have data for each tracking month (5 weeks) and my current weeks. M0 :starting: 300 lbs M1: 270 M2: 247 M3: 225 M4: 209 M5 :current W1: 207 W2: 204 W3: 201 W4: current week 198, week ends with Saturday morning weigh-in. In the interests of fairness, I didn't track the first two or three weeks after I decided to…

Protein: Chicken Fats: Nuts/legumes carbs: Prolly the nuts again. Sometimes carrots.

Sometimes, about every 10 lbs or so. Though the last time everything changed, I was just seeing how much it thought I should eat once I hit my closest possible goal. Then I set everything back to current, and MFP decided I should up my calories another 200/day. Turns out the old setting was giving me a 2.6lb/week deficit,…

Quoted to emphasize. It's just not mathematically possible. If there are any testimonials, they're all lies. I mean, I guess if you had some really voracious flesh eating bacteria chewing you up, you might be down 18 pounds in 4 days, maybe. I'm not really sure how much they eat, but maybe if you had them in every inch of…

Ok, serious question; why does the fact that massive corporations test their products to try and make them as marketable as possible treated by anyone as a revelation? Is it because we're talking about food products as opposed to say, web site design? Because the idea's the same; change variables in the product…

Oh hell no, not at all, nope, never, not happening, nein, nyet, and once more for emphasis, NO! Also, bacon. Because bacon answers all.

If you listen to every article, blog, and post on weight-loss/fat-loss/ fitness on the internet, you will rapidly be forced to conclude that no human being on this planet has ever or ever will be able to eat properly, and they are all going to die of cancer/heart failure/vitamin and mineral deficiencies, whilst being…

Low-carb diets aren't magical; they won't, in and of themselves, help you lose weight at a faster rate. Unless a doctor specifically tells you that a low-carb diet will be better for your health because of a medical condition, there is not a specific reason to try and force yourself to stick with one. I'm actually doing a…

I go over on fats a good bit. I had my macros set 50/40/10 f/p/c, changed it to 55/35/10 to be more accurate. Sodium's always a bit of a bother to stay under; I figure if i don't break 2700, I'm doing all right. Barring health issues, the only thing you shouldn't break is your calories; the rest are individual preference.

Since I'm paying into the private and government funded healthcare the same as anyone else, including paying any increases anyone else pays, I fail to see why it's any of their business why I would make use of the benefits I payed for. So no, no one else has an interest or has the moral authority to play mommy to me. That…

So, if I'm reading this right, the chicken is raised in the on a farm in the US, gets killed and slaughter in the US, then gets shipped across the biggest ocean in the world to get some finishing touch processing, before being shipped back and vetted in the US. ...What is the point of this? Are you actually saving enough…

I'm all for accurate labeling; free will is best exercised with complete information. But that's as much as I'm willing to tolerate. I am a fully grown adult. I can make my own choices. I can read all by myself. I can decide what I do and do not care about, and to what extent. I do not need the damn government trying to…

Not so much the lifting heavy part (I do enough running around and carrying stuff at my job, don't really want to do more at home), but I've gone from 300 lbs to 208 just minding calories and portion sizes without really being clear on what a processed food is and why I should care. As to deli meats specifically, totally,…

Like it says in my profile, when I started knocking things off the tables at work. Didn't make a connection at first; I'm a rather clumsy guy, so me being around plus stuff falling isn't usually all that noteworthy. At some point, by chance, I actually saw my massive gut just slide a thing off the table. "Huh", I thought.…

Carrots. Just plain, no sauce carrots.

Height: 6' SW: 300 CW: 221 GW: 160 Completed goals: Stop knocking things off of tables with my gut: That one was within 10 lbs of starting. Get back to 280 (my adult average): rewarded by upping daily calories by 200 Drop out of severe obesity (hit 255): was going to up calories another 300, decided to hold off until no…
