The difference is this: "The first two sentences of yours aren't at all an accurate, reasonable or fair representation of what rheddmobile said." Namely, these (actually sentences 1 and 3, on closer look) "Oh, so it is all the foods fault, and individuals bear no responsibility whatsoever in their obesity? Thats good to…

I burn a good bit of calories in work but I don't measure it. Same with the gym. I only measure the calories I eat. If my weight isn't going in the right direction, I adjust the calorie intake. I don't know my true TDEE or whatever other variables and don't care. I know if I log what I estimate is 2600 on MFP, over time I…

Nothing to do with fat. It's perfectly normal for weight to fluctuate by much more than 1.5lbs without gaining fat weight. I "gain" 5lbs at least once every week, sometimes unpredictably, whooshing down to new lows at unexpected times - yet every other week my weight hits a new low and I'm a 1lb or 2 lighter than ever. You…

The first two sentences of yours aren't at all an accurate, reasonable or fair representation of what rheddmobile said. It's this kind of over reactionary activism that strawmans so much and confuses the whole situation. The environment can have changed and the increased ready availability of hyper palatable foods can…

Yes, you can practically do three times that amount in a day by sneezing after a butterfly flaps its wings in your face. It is normal for weight to fluctuate by several times more than that. It has almost nothing to do with fat loss though.

40kg Chinup for 2 reps or 1-armed chinup

There's typically a lot more room to adjust CI, vs adjusting CO (especially if you're not at a spectacular fitness & endurance level).

I think you just changed my life.

If you ensure that whatever clothes you get actually fit you, you're ahead of 95% of men

Yes. To control the cravings (and socialise better) I re-introduced sugar into my diet (but always, always counted the calories of sweeties) while maintaining a solid base of vegetables and lean protein with some daily fish fats and dairy. I don't count calories every day when sticking to the likes of spinach and chicken,…

HfCS is just something with calories in it. Eliminate a significant enough proportion of your calories and you will lose weight fast.

Run my first 5K, THEN run one in under 20 mins! Run my first 10K Chinups out of a thick rope with 30kg x 3 sets of 5 Dips 30kg x 1 set of 20 Front Squats 100kg x 1 set of 20 (below parallel) Stiff Legged Deadlift 140kg x 1 set of 20 (each rep from dead stop) Bradford Press 80kg x 3 sets of 5 (bar all the way down to…

I do bursts of PSMF among more moderate deficits most days but keeping the core hyper-satiating & nutritious diet on moderate days so I've room for really anything. Down 53lbs since November 11th. (234 > 181 @ 5'11)

Prolly heavier

I can afford a big deficit so no I don't bother counting the exercise calories I burnt off or think about eating them back. But I do often eat more on workout days (which practically speaking, means I'm often doing the same thing, although it's usually carb based and still would be in moderate deficit without the…

There's nothing in your OP that mentions calorie intake, while it's possible that you may be just short-term retaining water, calorie intake is the first thing you should be looking at, as it's the only one that clearly establishes the goal you need to hit, to reach the goal of weight loss. All the shakes and eating "well"…

If you want protein that fills you up, why not go the chicken/cod route rather than liquid shakes? Protein shakes are greatly convenient for bumping my protein over 100g a day when I have the goal of gaining weight, but I drop them completely when cutting (despite upping my protein intake considerably when I do).

I thought ISTJs were supposed to be logically & practically-orientated? (If these personality descriptions have any usefulness at all). This kind of difficulty with handling imprecision and focusing on a level of detail that cannot be accounted for is a very irrational and impractical approach, especially if you don't want…

It tells me that it was caused by something, and there are many established possibilities. It does not tell me that apple cider vinegar was the cause. The nature of confounding variables, the notoriously cargo-cult nature of trying to anecdotally figure out what really caused what when it comes to changes in ones body, and…

I'd try but gallbladders aren't great at assessing causation.

Because how engaging/nonboring/mentally stimulating activities are, doesn't stack up linearly and so don't follow a simple additional math formula. Multitasking can greatly reduce the ability to focus and the quality/efficiency of thinking when it comes to mental stimulation. To me, doing cardio while watching TV makes…

This is pure gobbledygook. They are both sugary high calorie foods and snickers has a nutritional profile that dried fruit doesn't (all the macros, for one). It's a good idea generally speaking to treat both of them as foods to handle in moderation. Dried fruit is too high calorie with too little nutrition relative to the…

"Eating" in the context of that post you are replying to (and virtually any discussion, ever, of over/under eating as it relates to calorie intake) has nothing whatsoever to do with whether one is chewing or drinking their calories, that is completely irrelevant. It is used as a catch-all term to refer to the ingestion of…

How will this smell if I have to rush to work in the morning

we're talking about the context of people who are controlling their calories and weight. I don't believe your claim is (the health problem with people who eat fat and sugar laden foods more frequently tends to arise from eating too much and being overweight). In this context, flexible dieters fare better than highly…

context is important. Read the OP. Skipping sweet/fatty things to an extreme restrictive extent that one becomes violently sick when one encounters them again (nausea, dizziness, chest pains and bad acid reflux), is absolutely making your body more fragile and less resilient to varieties in food. Whether it's physical…

I feel much better after eating sweets, after months of healthy eating, than I did when I was overeating. I used to pop Rennie like chewing gums, and wake up in the night with acid reflux. Now my stomach is in much better shape and likes chocolate and mcdonald's much more than it did.

Be careful about how you approach food restriction: We may want controls on our eating to make our bodies more resilient, not a more fragile organism.
