To me, it makes absolutely no sense and a calorie is a calorie. But i've been wrong before - so I like to ask from those who are more experienced.

So is this why IF works? Because it leaves more time for insulin to be low and you to burn fat? And does this mean, that even though CICO works, that low carb will burn fat faster because insulin is low for most of the day?

I'm not here to fight. Just asking a question. If you feel the need to be snarky there's other posters who will entertain that request I'm sure.

Haha, no not at all. But she is skinny.

Ok, this is what I mean. You're saying if you eat too many carbs it will be hard to lose weight.... Even in a calorie defecit? Very confusing.

A friend.

I honestly didn't think so. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you. Someday I won't have to ask such stupid questions! Haha . . .

Losing weight and growing (or at least maintaining) muscle mass.

Oh gotcha.

Different macro ratios will result in a different body composition????

I'm doing Calories in - Calories Out right now and LOVING it. So nice to be able to eat whatever. However, I do think it's a little silly to attribute your cold to a low carb diet. I will say that I lost weight RAPIDLY on low carb. But I missed the food I'm enjoying now!

I would have went straight to her boss.

Have you tried Xanax? it's my best friend lol

Nope, not diabetic. I hope it doesnt come back in the next few days! lol

Nope.

Maybe you should have read the post then. Because your answer makes no sense.

[/quote] Because I didn't change my eating habits after going off of it. That is my whole point. Phen doesn't make you gain weight back. Poor eating and eating too many calories does. However, you CAN take Phen -AND- learn how to eat better at the same time. Thats what youre missing. You act as if you can do one or the…

Yeah you have to sign for it because it is an amphetamine and the possibility for drug users to abuse it is high.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm saying that Phen helps some people eat less calories and learn to accept that, thus creating a caloric deficit and losing weight.

Lets be careful though. There is a difference in FEELING like your heart is going to explode, and it actually causing heart issues. Anxiety, doing HIIT, taking Caffeine ... etc all make some people FEEL like their heart is pumping out of their chest. It doens't mean its unsafe. Also, you may have taken too high of a dose.…

Yes I have. My sister as well. My doctor as well. Fen caused significant heart valve issues. And was subsequently pulled from the market due to it. However, multiple studies have shown that Phen (not Fen) does NOT cause heart valve or attack issues. "Dry mouth and insomnia were the only statistically significant adverse…

If someone loses weight the "right" way and then stops eating properly and gains it all back, did they gain it back because of the diet? That makes about as much sense as saying someone gained the weight back because of Phen. As I said on page 1, people seem to think that you can either learn to eat properly OR take Phen.…

Do you have research that shows Phen causes heart problems? I certainly can't find any. Perhaps youre confusing Phen with Fen.

Ok thanks!

Why?

2700 TDEE for the day divided by 24 hours = 112 TDEE per hour. 112 x 8 hours of eating = 896 TDEE for those 8 hours

So many people take such extremes. Option 1: Its great and you won't have to care about eating! Hooray Option 2: Youre an idiot and wont learn how to eat properly and will gain it all back. Does no one consider the middle ground? That Phentermine suppresses your appetite and helps you to learn how to eat less and be OK…

^ This. If you want to take Phentermine, plan on having to remind yourself to eat. It removes every desire of eating you may have.

Good post ... Or maybe it wasn't. Or maybe it is. :)

Thanks everyone. Honestly appreciated. I know it's probably a "Uhm duh" question for most of you.
