So I'm down 12 pounds. I haven't cut sugar at all (proportionately), but have been at a caloric deficit. Howexplain?

Eating 5000 calories a day worth of steak will help you lose weight.

Also bacon. Don't forget another 1,500 calories of bacon. As long as you avoid sugar you'll lose weight.

Seeing that guy with a bun in his hand is like looking at a lung cancer victim smoking cigarettes. People are being fucked over by the lies they were taught about nutrition.
This is the bullshit we were taught by the government. It doesn't work because you're applying accounting to a biological system. It's all about hormones.

Wasn't there some guy a few years ago who lost a ton of weight by eating nothing but Twinkies? Aren't twinkies pretty much pure sugar?

Nah, just telling the truth.

I'd be an a word to point out how much weight you've lost compared to how much weight I've lost.

Not that it's a competition or anything.

We got ourselves a bonified zealot.
Zealots are immune to rational argument. I've posted hard science, and had nothing but troll posts responding "No you're wrong because I don't want to hear it."

I'm fine playing with the trolls here, as long it spreads the truth to at least someone else.

When I was stuck in my old ways slowly dying I would have wanted to know what I know now. Fixing my weight problem has dramatically improved my life.

Want to lose weight? Forget Calories in Calories Out, that's bullshit. The only thing you need to count is grams of carbs - grams of fiber.

I don't disagree that reducing carbs is great if you are trying to lose weight, but to say that calories in vs. calories out is "bullshit" is just silly. There is more than one way to lose weight. There are plenty of people in this thread (myself included) who have lost weight and maintained great overall health while still consuming carbs, simply by watching our calories in vs. calories out.

It's great that you can post lots of youtube videos and graphs and whatnot, but none of that can compare to personal experience.

P.S. I wasn't "trolling" with that Twinkie diet post, but for some reason you chose to ignore it. If calories in vs. calories out is bullshit, how can someone lose nearly 30 pounds while eating almost nothing but processed carbs?

Discount science, stick dogmatically to personal experience.

And I'm the zealot.

Weight loss is truly a religion.

No link, no attention. I'm a simple man.



They have a chart here showing how effective calories in calories out is vs carb restriction in people with insulin resistence. Some people do well on calorie restriction, everyone does well on carb restriction.

Correct!

Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds - CNN.com

Look there, he ate less then his caloric needs, on fucking twinkies no less, and he lost a considerable amount of body fat. Himeo, please explain that. According to you, that shouldn't happen because not all calories are the same. Or some such nonsense.
