Once I did it long enough, I learned enough to do it in my head. Don't have to log if I don't want to. It's still counting calories though, but it takes about 30 seconds a day. Since I am maintaining, "close enough" is good enough at this point. When I want to cut, I will probably need to log for a few weeks to get my…

It is rather strange that of all the people in the world, everyone doesn't enjoy the exact same things... :insertsarcasm:

Too many people assume "cardio" is hanging out on a treadmill for however long. That can be boring. Be in the outdoors doing cardio activities is not boring at all in my opinion.

Except beets....those things are dirty and gross...

It depends, are you getting enough protein and carbs in your diet? If the answer is yes, then no, it doesn't really matter if you go over your fat goal if your calorie count lands where you want it to.

How you doin'?

HRMs are for training purposes. The calorie burn estimate is just a marketing strategy, nothing more. Way to inconsistent to be all that meaningful.

This has been a highly amusing thread, and for that, I thank the OP.

1. Again, CICO is not a tool. Calorie counting is a tool. Calorie counting and CICO are not the same thing at all. 2. Not a single person has ever tried to say that CICO explains why people overeat. That's not what it is or what it is supposed to be at all.

As a 39 year old who got pretty lean, skin took forever to tighten up and will probably never be how I want it around the midsection. It sucks, but it is what it is...

MFP? Never heard of it...

Why what?

Welcome to the forums and MFP. Number 1 tip.... Patience and adherence is key.

I usually go for 3 when I eat donuts. It's too tough to narrow it down to even two, and one...that just makes me angry...

I thought for sure this thread would stay on track and everyone would understand what the OP was saying...

Indeed, getting shredded is fun... :)

Just remember, opinions are opinions and facts are facts. The problem arises when one's opinion tries to refute a fact as wrong. That's just not possible and will be called out (thankfully) by most of the "know it alls".

Whether it's realistic long term would vary by individual. Realistic long term for me? No. For @nvmomketo it seems to be though. It has it's place for medical conditions, that's for sure, but it is a fad diet in the overall scheme of things.

Depends. Are you not getting enough protein through your regular diet? If you are, no need to supplement.

Nice job....Hot damn.

What are you confused about?

Yup.

It's not really a hot button issue. It's just a fact that 0 calorie drinks won't inhibit your weight loss if all else remains the same... Beliefs have nothing to do with it.

Yes, it's crazy to think that.

People trying to debate stuff that they obviously don't understand never turns out pretty.

I use some ripped mofo as my profile pic.

No, your body doesn't need dietary carbohydrates. Your body actually needs carbohydrates so much, that in the absence of eating them, your body will produce their own.

He spews quackery...That makes him a quack.
