Thanks for updating and being honest. Well done.

I think you need someone who actually knows what they're doing - not your apparently-worthless "nutritionist" - look at your diary.

I don't think many physicians refer to their chiropractors for weight loss. That whole story is fishy.

Oh please. OP is asking for help figuring out why she isn't losing weight, and is refusing to reveal to us what she eats. I think it's pretty clear what's going on here.

Let's not start telling people to tell their doctors how to do their jobs.

This is false. Open your diary. You are eating too much food. Period, end of story.

That'll never work. People refuse to accept the simple fact that they eat too much. It's much easier on the psyche to be told you just haven't been eating the RIGHT foods in the RIGHT way because you didn't know any better.

I read a great quote yesterday: "Paleo is the Scientology of diets."

Well, it kind of is. You say "no matter what I do" but you haven't really tried much. And you're saying "no matter what I do" on a calorie counting site when you haven't even tried calorie counting. So.......

lolz

edit: nm, the quote disappeared lol

Oh. So you are saying that his increased strength from the weight room improved his ability to be physical on the court.

Yup. Be sure the camera is rolling, and you may want to have the ambulance at the facility already.

Do you think his ability to push you on the court would have been more, less, or unchanged if he were significantly weaker in the weight room?

Oh so being strong DOES help in basketball. Wait.

Post a video of you loading one onto a scale that then reads "315 lbs"

The OP would have been better off leaving the basketball anecdote off entirely, because it's completely meaningless and silly. BTW, "quantum leap" doesn't mean what you appear to think it means. Probably better if you don't use the phrase.

I once played tennis against a guy who was a doctor. A DOCTOR! This guy went to college and then med school for 8 years, then did like 5 years of residency before becoming an oncologist! Unbelievable. And I beat him at tennis! WHAT GOOD IS 13 YEARS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IF IT HAS NO APPLICATION IN THE REAL WORLD?!

Forget about the machine. You're probably eating more than you think. Open your diary.

Equal FTW

Dear, I picked our lovely friend Hayden here because your legs look an awful lot like hers.

No one is staring at your calves. Your legs look fine. They're not even that big.

Oh lord.

Btente, have you ever actually helped anyone lose weight? You seem to have zero interest in helping the OP, and you're focusing on minutiae while ignoring the big picture. Do you have any actual advice? I have yet to see any.

No worries. I'm sure one of his unpublished e-books that he's marketing to publishers contains The Method for long-term weight loss.

No, it's not. How does that even make sense? How on earth do you go from "most weight loss is eventually regained" to "calorie estimation is so imprecise as to be useless"?

Fun fact: the "no nitrates added" bacon you see everywhere these days? They all have celery salt. Guess what the primary component of celery salt is.

And that has what, exactly, to do with whether it's impossible to estimate calorie expenditure...?
