They are junk.

My brother lost 160lbs following a gastric bypass. It was the exact opposite of easy.

Just take it one day at a time. The goal, ultimately, is to be happy and enjoy your life. Tying your success, and perhaps happiness, to an abstract number is setting yourself up for failure. If you're going to set goals then perhaps consider aiming for something like 'in 3 months I will run 10km'. I like exercise based…

Neither- you should eat a balanced diet, over your BMR but under your TDEE and do some exercise. Juicing and Keto are entirely inappropriate for you. Also, make sure you see a doctor.

By whom? The American Academy of Family Physicians classifies Low Carb as under 60 grams a day. Other government bodies and non-governmental organisations have different levels. The thing is that you can call any lower-than-normal carb intake diet 'low carb'- it isn't a registered trademark ffs. In any case, it is one…

Weight gain after an anaesthetic is pretty normal.

She is under-eating carbs- low carb comes in many guises. It doesn't have to be ketogenic to still trigger a water dump due to glycogen. Sure a true ketogenic diet requires under 50g of carbs (roughly) to begin ketosis but that doesn't necessarily link that you have to be under 50g of carbs to have a water dump. Also are…

I had a look at your diet for the last few days- looks like you are avoiding complex carbs in many of your meals. This will explain both why you aren't getting enough calories and why you are losing weight. What is likely to be happening is as you are doing a low carb diet you are utilising the glycogen in your muscles and…

For newbies I tend to recommend dumbbells for two reasons: 1. If you get into trouble you can drop them without risking crushing your neck (say when benching). 2. You'll likely have one arm stronger than another- using a bar can see you compensating with your stronger arm. This isn't necessarily true for everyone and feel…

No problem. I know a lot of people don't want to bulk up- believe me you cannot if you are cycling a lot and your diet is nailed. I have to bolt on a bunch of weight training so I don't lose the muscle I do have. When you see professional cyclists with massive thighs (like Tour De France riders) it is because they do loads…

Be patient- 6 weeks is not long enough for you to transform your physique. You won't bulk up unless you are eating an excess in calories- even then cycling isn't really going to do it. Squats will. I'm a cyclist- as in it is my main mode of exercise. I do extremely long rides and I can confirm that you will lose weight and…

Today was 2 eggs, scrambled, 100g of smoked salmon, 3 oatcakes, coffee.

Google 'naturalistic fallacy'. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it is inherently more worthwhile than something that isn't. Ebola is natural, so is anthrax.

Evidence for this? It is simply not true.

This can be complicated but the simple version is it depends on how much exercise you do and your goals. Even then the answer could be 'maybe'. Assuming a non-carb cycling diet then I generally eat slightly over BMR. In my case slightly is around 300 calories over. Once a week it is a good idea to vary your calorie intake-…

Based on the details above your BMR is 1788 and TDEE is probably closer to 2700. This is fairly close to my own numbers and we do similar exercise levels (60-90 mins a day for me on a bicycle doing HIIT, hill climbs and weight training). I target 2000 as the maximum I will eat on any day that isn't written in as a having a…

My advice is to find something you love. I'm much happier cycling than running- so I do a couple of hundred km a week on the bike and only 10or so running. It doesn't matter what is the most efficient-super-amazing-fat-burning exercise if you don't enjoy doing it- because you won't. So, no I don't dislike exercise- I ljust…

How long have you been doing this for? If you want I can look at your daily intake- I'm a new member on the site but II'm experienced with regards to diet and fitness. You'll need to add me as a friend I believe. I tend to work in 2-3 month blocks- if you are sure you're doing the right thing and don't see any improvement…

It is a marathon, not a sprint. If yore not losing fat you think that you are eating under your daily expenditure then one of your assumptions is wrong. Either there are some hidden calories, you aren't as active as you thought you were or you aren't challenging yourself in the gym. Doing the same workout day after day…
