I don't think you were eating enough fat, and perhaps too many carbs. I ate a god-awful-lot of baked chicken and fish and assumed the fat was zero because I wouldn't weigh portions. I know the assumption was invalid. I'm saying I probably went over 30g. I would eat processed meats but only ones processed to have low fat. I ate frozen and canned veggies because I was too lazy to cook. Too much protein converts to glucose. Well, maybe it was the placebo effect. |

One could find many studies that either state that the effect isn't as great as you suggest, or that the conversion is very random. When actual science presents contrasting views, people naturally seek scientific, not anecdotal, evidence of the conflicting statement.

Fatties making excuses on why they are fat. Want to lose weight, eat right and lift heavy shit. If you can lift it over 10 times increase the weight. Repeat often. Plenty of heavy lifting fatties at my gym. Yeah, very few cut up dudes at world's strongest man. They all seem a bit pudgy LOL. I suppose you should be giving them advice on their nutrition? |

Eat less, move more. Lift things up and put them down. It's not rocket science. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you add muscle, your RMR goes up. I'm curious how much muscle these people gained on the show vs. how much fat they burned. View Quote I'd be willing to bet they left the show with MUCH LESS lean body mass. The answer to this issue is crushing weights. |

"I'm not geared to say this is a good thing to do," he said. "I'm stuck in the middle. I guess that's the frustrating part. I can't give a concrete answer. There's not enough information to do that." Other posters here are writing that we really don't know as much about biology as we think we do, which certainly seems to be the case. I truly believe that anyone that is doling out concrete answers to non-trivial questions is either an idiot or a liar. |

If there's one important point we can all take away from this article and this thread is that fat people suck.

I don't think you understand what a cheat meal is. It is an extra meal you add in during a cutting phase designed to replace glycogen levels and control leptin and ghrelin. I'm guessing you believe it is stuffing your face with birthday cake? Most guys I know do a burger and fries or huge plate of spaghetti. Wendy's Jr. Baconator with chili instead of fries. On paydays, once every other week. I'm down 60 lbs since January 3rd. Low carbs and sugar, and 1500 calories a day, plus an hour of brisk walking every other day is what's working for me. I don't even get as hungry as I did on garbage food. I started at 330, I'm at 270, and my doc says I should be 225, although 250 will make me pretty darned happy. Those of you who've seen my Facebook have seen the pic my son posted from 2011 when I was over 350. Getting the depression under control was the biggest hurdle. Without that happening there was no way I could even begin to start controlling my weight. |
