I know you can get 100% RDA from commercial products designed for that - but what are the minimum cals you need to get 100% RDA from "ordinary" foods - with an authority reference.

My personal view is that if you are using foods commonly found in a supermarket then to make sure you have all the essential vitamins/minerals fats and proteins you are likely to either be a real hotshot dietitian and go for a minimum of 800 - or 1200 to be safe, especially if you aren't a dietitian and you are trying to…

Actually a modern VLCD (as in one sold by a reputable company in the last 20 years) doesn't necessarily need a doctor monitoring. In Europe and the UK we actually have laws about the content and marketing of VLCDs and similar to make sure that all the nutrients are in there and they are not marketed to the wrong people and…

VLCDs are against community rules - but they aren't plain stupid. VLCDs are perfectly safe - as long as they are done properly and by appropriate people, and preferably with medical supervision. Unfortunately too many people decide that they can do a "homemade" VLCD, or start one with a medical condition that will cause…

I'm not trying to justify anything - I am actually trying to show someone that it isn't possible to do a "homemade VLCD" as if you try and go below 800 cals then you won't get all the necessary vitamins/minerals etc (I am sure that you could get proteins and fats) As I said, it seems accepted that you will need approx 1200…

The good news is: You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time! This is only possible for people who have lots of fat to lose and very little muscle, and as a bonus developing regular exercise habits will help you keep the fat off and raise your metabolic rate.

Fat loss is a science - but no-one lives in a metabolic lab so things aren't as precise in the world we live in. For the vast majority of people create an energy deficit and weight will follow a downward trend. The most precise tracking will still only give good estimates of energy values in and out - so any benefits to…

Firstly, it is really easy to lose or gain at least 2-3 pounds of water from day to day - and even more when you have a lot of excess fat. Then add in the effects of stress and possible inflammation from working out/building muscle . . . Next - are you drinking enough water? When seriously burning fat you need a lot. But…

If they did actually work - then they would be classed as medicines - so you wouldn't be able to buy them!

Milk Consumption of fluid skim milk promotes greater muscle protein accretion after resistance exercise than does consumption of an isonitrogenous and isoenergetic soy-protein beverage. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17413102

You may be able to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time - as long as you are fat and unfit when you start! Essentially A ketogenic diet will usually preserve lean muscle mass, add serious resistance/strength training and you will build some muscle, take your diet down so you are in calorie deficit and there you go!
