Myth.

Typically horrible advice given here. Your margins are going to be exceptionally small. And you are dealing with rough estimates of your TDEE. These calculators cannot and do not account for everything though they are pretty accurate. But when someone tells you to eat within 100-200 calories of your TDEE, be very…

This is the sort of "research" that gives research a bad name. There's this truism about correlation and causation. The OP should "research" it.

I'm just north of 6'1 and I look great at 190. i can't imagine being 150, even at my height. Then again, I'm build more like a safety than a corner.

This should not bug you because it is not true. Lots of reasons to avoid eating too little. "You won't lose weight" is not one of those reasons.

I've played sports my entire life. Football and baseball as a young person (high school, college). Now I play a lot of tennis. I'm a 6'1 male. Weighed 200 when I used to play centerfield. Got up to 270 this winter. Decided to do something about it. Now I'm at 232, and I play tennis pretty much every single day. It's…

I wish folks would stop spouting off the same unsubstantiated nonsense about "starvation mode" and the human body "storing all of its fat" because it is losing it too fast. This board has to be the biggest exercise in group think on the entire Internet, which is saying a lot. There are many problems associated with eating…

Possibly the worst thread on this site.

In before random non-experts on the Internet tell you that your doctor is wrong.

Losing weight is hard enough without intentionally setting aside a day to make it harder.

This, clearly. Hard to believe that half a dozen people smart enough to turn on a computer couldn't comprehend the joke being made here.

Every cheat day puts you one day further from your goal. And I like the feeling I get when I wake up knowing I made decisions to make myself and my body better a whole lot more than I like food that has and will make me fat. Cheat days show weakness, in my estimation.

When you begin, you need to understand that it is not just the end-result that will make you happy; rather, it's the process that will provide you with self-satisfaction. Every day that you go to bed knowing that you have worked hard and made good nutritional decisions, you will be pleased with yourself. Sure, seeing the…

A number of things that I do to get control of my mind and body. First, you have to remind yourself, almost constantly, that good food tastes just as good as bad food. There is nothing about a Wendy's cheeseburger that tastes better than a piece of broiled salmon. There are taste differences, but one is not objectively…

I make the drive from Texas to South Carolina and back a few times a year. Mostly by myself. So I understand how hard this can be. Know that it is possible to eat fast food on a trip like this would destroying your calorie goals. Try Wendy's and their grilled chicken flatbread with a baked potato or with chili. In the…

To me, there are a couple of different problems with "cheat" days. And these do not even address the problem for me, which is that I'm a very habit-based person. I'm almost Rain Man like in my routines, and when I'm on a routine of good habits, it's important for me to capitalize on that. But the bigger problem with cheat…

I cook steelhead trout (basically rainbow trout, and in most ways completely like salmon) in this way, and it turns out great: Mix garlic cloves, rosemary, natural lemon juice, a small amount of salt and pepper, and a little bit of olive oil. Combine that in a bowl and mix. Place the salmon (or trout) in a glass pan, skin…

I am posting in this thread specifically to highlight a highly unsubstantiated empirical claim by this poster: "This is just as unhealthy as obesity."
