hi

sorry

Pills I don't think so. Fiber are carbohydrates, protein is protein. Atkin's bars have a good amount of fiber and some protein. I am not sure if you have an issue with shakes... but you can do that. I buy isopure zero carb protein shake powder. They also sell zero net carb fiber. No reason why you can put that in your…

That's good common sense. On this site some people believe that "you aren't hungry because you're brain isn't getting the proper signals so you have to eat more." I believe the same thing you do, if you're hungry eat, if you're not don't, not hard. Just so everyone knows... a low calorie diet over a long time impairs the…

Under eating is weight loss... You eat less than you usually do and some exercise you lose weight. You lost 26lbs didn't you, are you uhealthy??? i doubt it... so what's the big deal? People are dying to get the results you've gotten. Anytime you lose weight your metabolism will slow down, you're not moving around as much…

that's the best point of all, doesn't matter what people say or do, find out what works for you and stick with it.

I also believe that "experience" out weighs "education." I am a majoring in computer science, there was a time long ago I read the NETWORK+ book. I read that thing a ton, took a ton of notes... if you put me in a real life situation to apply my skills... I couldn't do a damn thing. I pretty much taught myself programming,…

The effects are what determine starvation mode, Loss of muscle mass, fatigue, and hinder weight loss attempts. This can happen to any athlete who needs 5000-8000 calories a day to maintain their performance and weight, if they drop down to 3000 calories. Or on any caloric reduction program.

So starvation mode is when I hit a plateau? So if i eat 3000 calories a day, and reduce my caloric limit to 2000, i will lose muscle mass, slow down my metabolism, and stop losing weight at one point.. So I am in starvation mode at 2000 calories? There is no starvation mode, there is malnutrition, that's something else.

I am sooooooooooooo full with 1800 calories, MFP says i need about 2800... i am going to eat up to yak up.

Yes, I am going to say it another way, but I am saying the same thing you are. When MFP calculates your calories, it already removed calories... lets say to maintain your body weight you need "2500 calories" MFP would set you a caloric limit of about "1500 calories" this is a deficit of 1000 calories what you need to lose…

That is weird. do you take any stimulants that can increase your heart rate? Are you sure it's setup correctly, if you lost weight, have you input that in to the heart rate monitor? I honestly never used a heart rate monitor that tells you how many calories you burn. I can tell you this though, you can't predict caloric…

It might even be how you have things set up.. MY point was if you weigh more and lets say walk a mile, you'd burn more calories than someone who weighs less your body is working harder.

To both posters, i did a little experiment, I entered that i did 15 minutes of walking. It said I burned 75 calories, I reduced my weight by 100lbs, and entered i did 15mins of walking. It still said 75 calories. Some people say they didn't have that issue. Yes that's very true, the caloric expenditure is extremely high on…

okay sorry, i thought you where replying to my "last post" not about the comment I made on the website. I know it's hard work, I am a programmer myself and a computer science major. I have nothing against the "SITE". There are a few bugs on the site, but that's no big deal. What I do have an issue with is... they pretty…

Lets look at the BIG picture of what's really going on. People claim to be insulted by the topic, others decide to criticize. Why do people do this? obviously they get offended easily, i bet the scale offends them too. If you get offended by every little thing, I have to say "what a great miserable life to live in." People…

WTF MAN, why do people on the forums always do this. Someone asked a question, answer it, or don't. Don't sit here trying to argue with people. If you want to try it try it... see how it goes for you. You might get worse or better results than other people, you have to experience it and see how it works for you. I do know…

Anything that effects your biochemistry is a drug. This includes food.

I agree with what you said. Ketosis measures highest in the evening. I believe the greater weight loss, is due to the higher levels of glucagon, lower insulin levels releases more fat, as you probably already know.

On a ketogenic diet, people also consume less calories by default. I was consuming on average 2500 calories for weightloss before I went in to a ketogenic diet... I'll be lucky if I get in 2000 i do my best to get those calories in. Of course the more protein will help with nitrogen retention and of course resistance…

Yes you're right about this one... so atkins is healthy, thanks.

I don't know how physiology is wrong... i stated how it works. Ketones aren't glucose... ketones are ketones... Whatever glucose is used is from gluconeogenesis. As you said it's "easier" for it to be converted from carbs... the easier it is the faster insulin will spike... Spiking insulin to high can cause fat

This is an ongoing theme in my life. The thing to do is, workout as normal and try to go to bed earlier. Always remember when you don't sleep well, you will be tired tomorrow and not want to workout... you might eventually say "i am not going to workout today to tired" then it will happen again... and again... and again...…

I was looking at fat free salad dressing, what they do is remove the fat and add sugar. I stay away from most carbs...

I think the ideal woman would be pretty, deaf, blind and mute...

practice,practice,practice!!!

oh yes i agree, a lot of people misinterpret atkins. Like you said, foods high in saturated fats, cholesterol, aren't good for anyone.

You know what's funny, did he even do his own plan??? no one knows. He was over weight himself, if he did do the plan He wouldn't be over weight.

I already stated how atkins is pretty healthy. Carbs spike insulin. This is how it works, You eat carbs so the carbs get converted to glucose and it's in the blood stream, insulin is released to clear the blood of glucose... it stores it in the muscle as glycogen, once the muscles are filled with glycogen it will store the…

Well you said "i don't eat tons of meat" that means you eat it, but you don't eat lots of it... What is wrong with just consuming more? I recently bought a zero carb protein shake. I think it's like about 50 grams per serving... I guess you can get in 3 servings a days, but that does cost a lot. I went to the grocery store…
