I weigh my food religiously , still agree with OP

I like dairy, it doesn't really affect me poorly. Most simple sugars really don't fit into my calorie allowance for the day, so I don't really include them regularly. Gluten makes me physically ill, and when I eat it my appetite floats out of control, as well as some weird mood swings for several days after. I avoid it all…

Best post on this whole thread !

No my logic is that some foods affect some people so dramatically that they will feel starved when they are in surplus. That this conversation is NOT about deficit which everyone who has a profile is all that we need to maintain weight loss. But instead we should entertain that some foods have an effect on people that is…

what if a person can't maintain a deficit because their the fluctuation in blood sugar causes them to bing, you throw "true calorie deficit" out there like its easy to maintain. Some people have more trouble staying in deficit, and FOR ME some of the nutrients mentioned here affect my ability to maintain a deficit... If…

Maybe not for you, but that statement might not be true for everyone.

Calorie deficit = Weight loss....this is true, but it is not that simple, some foods react within the body differently. Some foods are conducive to maintaining said deficit. If you eat dense calories or high sugars you will have an insulin spike and then feel sluggish and likely hungry very quickly. Some foods while high…

I love people who say a calorie is a calorie, and deficit is the only answer for weight loss. ASk someone with food alergies or who is diabetic whether some food can affect you differently.. Deficit is important, but never discount that certain foods affect certain people differently.

I totally agree with this, dairy not as much but I dropped gluten and its almost like I deflated. I changed belt sizes in like a week. I am probably intolerant because I get pretty sick now if I even eat a little.:huh:

Men everywhere are crying out in objection to this thread!!

bump cause I am going to have come back to this later...

YES :explode:

I think that your chops and tshirt intimidate people!!! No seriously you look great! :laugh:

http://www.food.com/recipe/chicken-bombs-499604 I beg to differ

OK first I will say that I don't pretend to know anything, but I spend a fair amount of time hashing this subject over with my father in law who has a ton of time to study this very issue. It became important to him about 2 years ago when his doctor put him on Lipitor in order to lower his cholesterol and lower his blood…

count me in

I will stop right there because I was just trollin anyway :bigsmile:

There is a difference between "being" a herbivore and successfully living a vegan lifestyle, there are a lot of vegan humans but as of yet it is science and industry that accomodate this, not being born a herbivore.... which has been argued ad nauseam in this very thread.

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.....Inego Montoya I applaud you for following your beliefs, but your argument lacks a bit in polish.

Pure Geniosity right there!

The best advice I can give is don't look to try and replace gluten with gluten free substitutes. Most gluten free alternatives are extremely dense in calories and extremely processed. I use them very sparingly.

You said you feel leaner? I say give it a little more time, if your still stuck trim a little calories.

I love my fitbit, and as far as I can tell it is as accurate as I need it to be. It keeps me focused and is somewhat addicting, it interacts with my phone and gives me a really nice litmus for how active I have been. It uploads daily to myfitnesspal. I wear it - I lose weight, and I am active.

You have been a member of this sight for 8 days or less, Rome wasn't built in a day. 1 Portion control- make sure your eating what you think you are, measure it. 2. water- too much salt, or too little and you could be looking at different effects that could cause you fluctuations, retention and/or constipation. 3.…

Me................at 25

questions like this are usually dangerous, and a slippery slope. But as far as I can see, the only thing wrong with you is your esteem. That being said you need to decide what is right for you.

MCewens Scotch Ale, NASTY!

After I hear the word "yes" I forget what the word "lights" means!:explode:

I feel like such a spectator. I really have to say I read this thread last week. I should have said something last week when I first read it, I think about it often, every day in fact. I read your website, I keep it open on my laptop at home. Over the past week I have gone back to it to find inspiration almost every day.…

Butts. TWICE on Sunday!!! :love:
