Is there a limit to how much/fast you can lose at a time?
What are your thoughts on large calorie deficit on non-overweight people? I read that very low calorie diets work on the obese and has a negligible effect on their metabolisms initially simply because they have so much more too lose. What about non-overweight people? Is there a limit to how fast they can lose? Don't know…

http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/why-big-caloric-deficits-and-lots-of-activity-can-hurt-fat-loss.html What are your thoughts on this? Is it really true for the majority of people?

Why drinking water helps me with binging (sometimes)
I don't know if this would help anyone but besides the fact that sometimes we mistake our thirst for hunger, but I believe that many binge-eaters don't eat out of hunger too and hence the water thing might not work... BUT!!!! I find that drinking water makes me need to pee more so it 'interrupts' my binging and sometimes…

short sprints VS longer runs for less muscular body?
I know everyone says to look at professional athletes and that long distance runners have a less muscular build while sprinters generally are more muscular, though both really lean and have awesome bodies.

Exercise calories - how much of it to eat back?
I use the TDEE - 20% method at sedentary, and then eat back some of my exercise calories. Thing is, when you exercise you burn a certain amount of calories (say 500), but if you weren't exercising you would still burn some just by living and breathing (say 100). So technically you've only earned 400 calories to eat back…

Is too much exercise bad?
Ok so I'm baffled by this... Can too much exercise hinder weight loss? Will too much exercise bulk you up? Asking this because I tend to try to do a lot of cardio because exercising is easier for me than eating lesser. When I say 'too much exercise', I mean really intense interval running, elliptical at a moderately fast…

Carbs? GI? Or just calories?
So I know this has been debated countless times and no one has really been able to come to a final conclusion and every camp has their own success stories etc... I'm just curious as to people who go low-carb, low-GI etc... Does it really matter? Or is it just calories? Is too much fruit bad because of sugar and carbs?
